COMPLACENY i
(By The Skipper) 1
Hero in Camden and Kershaw county,
the officers and workers In civilian
homo defense organizations as well as
the citizens in general, take a great
deal or pride In the progress which
has been made In defense preparations.
Speaking before the members of the !
South Carolina Municipal Association
last Thursday in Columbia, Senator
Burnet R. Maybank expressed his
feeling of pride and admiration for the
manner lu which his state had progressed
in home defense activities and
made special reference to the many '
commendatory remarks made to Mm
by senators, congressman and federal
officers.
The Chronicle desires to emphasize ,
the fact that, it too, takes pride In
what has been accomplished under the
splendid supervision of President John
K. deLoach of the Camden and Ker-1
shaw county council for national defense
and his nble group of chairmen . ]
and workers. The Chronicle believes1
that the civilian population should co-i |
operate with the county council for',
national defense to the fullest degree.
There should be no lagging on the .
part of the city, the county, the state,'
or the nation in the crisis of war. I)e-i
Iny will he unwise and hazardous. In
other words, delay reflects smug coniplacency
and that is something which '
should not exist anywhere where 1
emergencies In home defense are concerned.
Emergencies are certain to '
occur and civilians must be able to 1
cope with them in the most practical !
way possible. I 1
That some counties and states are
way behind In comparison to others in <
the readiness and preparedness of '
their Chilian home defense organize- ' j
t ions is apparent in reports of what i
(thby hav? don? or ore doing. , In tome
South Carolina counties as well m
those of other states there Is need for
far more thought and atteutlou than
has beeu given thus far to the proper
organisation and preparation of <JyllIan,
home defense in its true relation
to national defense.
In some instances lack of prompt
thought and action in regard to thorough
organization and other activities
for civilian home defense may be due
la part, at least to the fact that closer
attention proved literally Impossible
for some officials who wore expected
to.be in charge but could not be because
of the pressure of the many
other regular as well as ei^ra and
special duties that the war has
brought. In such Instances the major
work and responsibility In organization
and other preliminaries In civilian
home defense should be promptly assumed
or delegated to some one else.
Prolonged delay ,ln either respect Is
not/wise or advisable.
There can be do denial of the fact
that there have been reams of printed
and typewritten material sent to the
stutes from the national administra-,
Hon of civilian home defence In Washington.
However, the general outline
for organization work aa set forth
should have boon arranged for In most
communities as Hoon as possible, bilt
that It was not In many states is apapparent.
That civilian home defense work
and actfvlty In all communities will In
all probability be further enlarged as
part of the* national effort In that respect
seems certain. Bex that as It
rnuy, thorough organization of civilian
home defense should become the rule
in the shortest time possible In all
ommunitleB and states.
RED CROSS ON THE JOB
When the airplane crashed Monday
ifternoon in the Beulah section and a

?* w iii i r1 i, .. . . Betty
Sees Her First
Polo Game?Likes It
(By Betty Carlton)'
Well. 1 hww my first polo same Sunday
afternoon and also had the opportunity
of scoring for my boss.
11 h very true that the first, two innings?
be* pardon?chukkera, found
irie somewhat bewildered aa to Just
what marks to put down, but after the
boss had painstakingly explained the
method of recording the goala so that
when it came time to write the story
of the same, he would know Just the
sequence in which they were made.
Weil,, it was real fun and believe me
or not, I did not make a mistake.
There were a lot of- soldiers over
from Port Jackson, brought to the
polo fipld in a Greyhound bus by the
USO and these boyg got a real kick1
out of the sport. /They cheered the;
players and put on some comedy
stunts in front of the grandstand.
The polo field looked lovely and It
was a real pretty plctu>e~to see riders
In their gay, two-tons' uniforms flashing
about on their speedy ^mounts
There were ^ lot of prominent people
in evidence In the crowd. Colonel
McQowan of the Essex troop and some
other officers were there. North
Fletcher came in late and I noticed
Mr. Klrkpatrtck leaping over the rail
talking to Ilalpk Chase. Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Knight of Cool Springs came
In .about the fifth period.
About the game?1 am gonig to holler
for help In describing that, because
it's all so now t ome and % know
I would make some silly mistakes. So
please Mr. Skipper, take it over.
The Skipper at the keys now. Well I
folks, the Ramblers really came back I
like a sYnall tornado Sunday afternoon
to take the second game of the midseason
club title series from the
Palmettos 5 to 2. It was Moultrie]
Burns who rang the bell for the first)
score. In the opening chukker. Those
RumblerH won the fracas the hard
way?by that we mean, the slow way. I
A goal a chukker for five chukkers. J
After Burns 'had counted In the flrat.
Harrison scored In both the second
and third. Bates In the (fourth and j
Burns again In the fifth. The Palmettos
scored In the second and
third periods. DuBoso posted the ]
marker each time. The second score I
by DuBose was the peak shot of the
afternoon. Bubber was about at least j
40 or 50 feet In front of the goal posts
when he slammed what might be de- I
Bcribed as a Texas leaguer over second.
The ball had a lot of loft but
started to drop Just before It reached
the uprights. Here It struck one of
the riders on the Aboulder bone and
bounded into pay dm. I
The Ramblers, Ag stated, scored In j
every period but one while the Palmettos
were blanked in four frames.
The result of the game tied up
the series and tt plans go through
for next Sunday's polo' attraction. It
will find these same teamB meeting
in the third and deciding game of!
the series. The winner will meet the
Essex troop on the following Sun-1
day. I
We talked to Colonel McGow&n at
the field side last Sunday aud the
Colonel, while uot making any post- j
five statement, Intimated that a Camden-Essex
game might be booked fori
a week from next Sunday.

Then there are those who offer to

states have set up a service for those
whose employment requires proof of

Now that tire-rationing has come into

will try to sell tickets for some social

there are enough legitimate agencies

In a game with Finley Jhigh at Chester,
Mather's cagers Friday night won
their second victory of the season by

Caldwell and Russell as forwards;
Williams, center, and Lewis and Nelson
