It Is favored by voters in every geographical section, the vote of approval being particularly high in the twelve leading lndustflal states combined. The chief opposition to tl)e idea comes from farmers, who argue that setting the clock ahead an hour would upset the routine of farm work. The farm attitude is typified in the comment of a Jamestown, N. D., farmer, who exclaimed when Interviewed: "You can't change a cow's milk habits to fit the clock, or evaporate the 1 morning dew an hour earlier." & Implement Company, 812 Lady Street, Phone 9273, Columbia.

Jan. 7?A former University of South Carolina football star, Bryant Adair, of Greenville, now is holding down a key position In fhe defense of free China's lifeline, the Burma road. Adair, who was an all-state Gamecock tackle In the early thirties, has been in China for several years, training pilots for Chiang-Kai-Shek. He lived on the Burma road for two and a half years, building the only house for many miles with "real glass windows." a Bource of wonder to his neighbors. He Is now "somewhere In China" with international air force, composed of United States army and navy pilots who were permitted to resign In order to undertake the vital mission of patrolling the Burma road. From February to August of 1941, Adair was in the United States organizing this group of some 300 pilots. News dispatches recently heralded the success of the International air force In repelling Japanese attacks. Nlchol Smith, author of thrf bestseller "Burma Road ", was the guest of Adair at his home on the rokd. The chapter "Bird Men and Bandits," ia dedicated to Adair; who is called "Bill" In the book. Adair's mother, Mrs. Claude B. Adair, now In Lakeland, Fla., received cablegrams from him recently on her birthday and at Christmas, and reports that he is in the beet of health and spirits. "Of course I am worried," Mrs. Adair said, "but I am sure that I am only one of many mothers so chagrined In this tragedy of war. But I am sure that Bryant Is doing his beat In what he wants to do and that his services arp being used where they are the most needed. We find consolation in that." And football opponents who played against Adair while he wore the Garnet and Black togs of Caroline will agree that the Burma Road to In good j hands. * ] Fort Jackson * Needs Tradesmen Olvll service officials said today that Y6rt Jackson will need still more Filter Plant Operators and Repairmen, Mattress and Pillow to complete the complement of skilled civilian personnel. a wai announced orrtctaiiy that an insufficient number of applications have been received to date and the Olvll Service Commission will receive (Application* for this Job until a num-' ber sufficient to fill anticipated vacancies are filed.

Postal Receipts Establish New High An unprecedented and record breaking total for last Quarter receipts is reported by Postmaster C. P. DuBose, Sr. The reports show that In October, November and December the total receipts at the Camde^ post office was aggregated 112,131.90.

BELGIUM WRITHES UNDER HITLER As the second winter of Nail occupation gets underway, conditions In Belgium are becoming almost unendurable. WoYd leaking out from Under German censorship reports that tuberculosis is spreading at a terrific rate. Attempts to check the disease are made difficult by the lack of coal and medical supplies. One large sanitarium is reported without any heat due to the diversion ol coal supplies for German military ends. Nazis are rationing food on the assumption that people can normally sustain life for about ten years even if not given sufficient food to keep them well and fit for productive work. They have appropriated all foodstuffs above this bare subsistence level. The armies of Hitler and the favored Nazi citizens are eating the food of Belgium and the other occupied countries. Financial conditions are desperate Belgium's national debt has risen "about 22,000,000,000 francs in the past twelve months. The normal costs of government have been doubled because of occupation and billeting expenses, which Hitler has assessed, against the Belgium people. In education, attempts are being. made to Hltlerize the schools so that, the youth of Belgium will be taught i the principles of Naziism. Only recently the first Flemish racial school was opened. Its purpose is to prepare students for a political career. Know- j ing the record of such schools in Ger- j many, it is understood that the products of the school will enter politics well-trained in the ethics ahd methods I of the new crop of German "statesmen." Dandelions For Rubber The ordinary dandelion grows fairly well in South Carolina and is found in practically every section of th^ state. Attention has been directed recently to the rubber-bearing dandelion. Dr. Paul J. Koiachov, a native of Russia, but now a resident of Louisville, Ky., has reported to the National Chermurgic council information on the growing of thia^pla^t.^ The plant, he reports, has 'batonCultivated secretly in Russia tor several years. It is known in Rusgia as kok-sagyz and grows exclusively'Yiow in that country but would thrive in the United States. Roots of this plant, from which the milky latex juice is derived, can be harvested at the end of the first or second year. They yield 150 to 200 pounds of crude rubber per acre. Kok-sagyz develops a maximum yield on black soil in localities with at least 20 inches of rainfall yearly distributed heavily in April, May, July and September. The war may encourage South Carolina farmers to grow this Russian plant in orrfer to supply Industry with. 8ynthetic*rubber.?Columbia State. Says Negro Not Lynohed ?Georgetown, Jan. 1?Sheriff H. B.
