[ [hot on THE keys} THE SKIPPER. I I \\*e hear a lot these days about the sacrifices we will have to make Bn order to win the war. . I i don't believe there is an Americun B itizt^who is not willing to go to the limit in making sacrifices for his country. I I Hut you and I and the other guy would like to suggest that government officials set an example to prove their own sincerity in this sacrifice bual ness. j I For instance, it was only about a week or so ago that the senators voted themselves an additional allowlance of $4,500 annually for each seua tor to add an extra clerk to Ills staff, j 9 | For a fact, It was a strange thing to do in the face of a totaTwar, taxes, land the like. We agree with Broth|er Kemp of the Charlotte Observer when he sarcastically remarks "$4,500 la year means $90 a week and do you I know any clerk that gets $90 a week f | As Kemp says "The argument that | senators have too much work to do land need more help may be believed | by persons who have not spent much time on Capitol Hill. Those who have | been there know better. o "Some senators have long had a I habit of employing relatives and | friends to keep 'extra money' in the | family. "And it Isn't only senators I who do that. Ha! Ha! Well, did everyone have a nice I Christmas? You better had because a year hence It is going to be differ, lent. Just mark these words folks. / | Musings of last Friday mornipg: I Noting those unsightly and unsanitary drinking fountains sporting empty gin and whisky bottles. The street cleaning brigade made a I swell job of clearing the garbage from I the streets after the Christmas eve I orgy of shopping. But the boys' with I the brooms failed to note the "dearf I ones" In the drinking fountains. ! * * We hope the day will come that I these fountains will go with the horse I and buggy. They are just a source I of disgust, for they are worthless. No I one with any degree of sanitary fasI fidiousnefis will ever use them.

The Chamber of Commerce has been a source of supply for the air post here?at least so far as stenographers1 and office help are concerned. Miss Emma Villepigue, for some time assistant ht the Chamber of Commerce was the first to be taken by the air school. Then came Miss Edna Fetters, thirdly came Ann Clarkson and now Susan Team.

Baldwin, of Folly Beach, haw received a letter from her son, Homer Gael Baldwin, machinists mate, first class, who was in Hawaii at the time of the Japanese attack saying that he is alive and well. Following is Mr. Baldwin's letter, dated December 11: 'Tve got time now for a few Itnos H to let you know that I'm alive and well and that we are all fighting mad and hoping for a chance to get back at them. The ship sent Helen a telegram that I'm all right, I think, aud 1 wrote her an airmail the other day and asked her to wire you, so If she hasn't done so, maybe she didn't get word. If you haven't heard from her will you wire her for me I'm all right? "I'm afraid It's going to be a long war and it would mftke me feel much better to know that you won't worry about me if you don't hear from me. There will be many reasons why I can't write often, but I'll try to write every chance I get, so don't worry If you don't hear from me. "I expect you are deluged with rumors these days/ but please don't believe them. You will help us a lot by not believing them and by helpiug to suppress them. When and if the truo dope is determined it will be published by the uavy or war department and you can take it for granted that rumors are etiher exaggerated or unfounded. "We're going to have a lot of hard work ahead of us and maybe more of what happened Sunday, but you can tell people that we are fighting mad. We are out here to win the war and we mean to win it. Remember If some of us have to die In order to do it, we're proud to do it, and no matter what happens to us, the important thing is to win the war, "Good-bye for now. This is all I can write now. Keep your chin up Lbecause everything is going to be all right." Mr. Baldwin enlisted in Charleston seven years ago. His father is a machiuist at the Charleston navy yard. He has two sisters, Mrs. W. H. Adams, of 159 Calhoun street, and Mary Frances Baldwin, six years old. The above is from a recent issue of the Charleston News and Courier.

He declared that in the event of any enemy planes approaching this area, due warning will be flashed from th% filter station and that would mean that the big army of air raid and fire wardens and their helpers would swing ! into action. I It was interesting to note that MayMcCorkle and members of the city council declared their readiness to cooperate in this protection program by the passage of such legislation that will give due authority to all auxiliary protection groups. This legislation In the'fbrm of one or more suitable ordinances will be passed by the city council in the immediate future. The provisions of this legislation would prevail during the time elapsing between the first siren warnings of an impending air raid until the "all-clear" signal Is given. The measures would also obtain during the period of any black out. The public should notice that the ordinances would be effective during practice air raid or black oul programs, as well as in real affairs. It was pointed out that it would be necessary to have one hundred per cenl cooperation in these air raid and black out events, which means that in a air raid every light must be extinguished, not only in all commercial and industrial plants, in the homes but also on the part of motorists Failure to observe the regulation! would result in arrest. By a previouf declaration of the chairman of th< protection group the names of al violators will be printed In th< newspaper and also turned over to th< secret service. It is proposed to have a fire auxil lary force as well as a police auxiliary force in every ward in the city. Another important phase of the pro tection program involves what ii known as the rescue squad. It wil work with the fire wardens group. Ii addition there Is a bomb squad.^ I is important to know that all of th< groups aro to be given Instructions ii first aid through the medium of th< local Red Cross, working through th< disaster committee. In this instruc tion program, the Camden hospita will give "all-out" cooperation. An important item of informalloi at the meeting was the fact that warn ing of an air raid will be givei ! through the medium 01' the fire siren and all factory whistles. The warninj I signal will be in the nature of a wall ing effect, with the tones rising an' failing. "The "-clear" signal will b i the blowing of the sirens and whistle ; at an even tone.

The rowdily romantic new film, which opened Monday at the Haiglar The. atre, possesses in hectic abundance all those enjoyable elements which make for good entertainment, music, mirth, warmth, romance. An exceptionally fine cast, topped b^ Miss Falkenburg and Mr. Rogers, contribute a great deal to the success of the new Columbia film. In addition to Gordon, seen as a violinist with the band, the comedy-wise players In "Sing For Your 8upper" include Eve Arden, as a sharp-tongued dlme-adancer who teaches the Park Avenue debutante the tricks of taxl-danclng; Benny Baker, as the heiress' chauffer, suddenly and embarrassingly promoted to a position as her "boy friend," and Don Beddoe, as a suave, fasttalking press agent. "Sittg. For Your Supper", smarts with Rogers and hlB musicians being dispossessed from the Casino Dance Hail.

Miss Falkenburg, erstwhile Magazine Cover.,.J'\ 5 Oirl No. 1, sings the number with a smooth sweetness which might be surprising, were It not for her delightful film debut, in "Two Latins From Manhattan."
