Brailsford Heads County Red CroM (Continued from first page) Mrs. Allle McNeel, who Is a representative of the Southobarolina Red Cross group, was present and addressed the meeting at length. Mrs. McNeel congratulated Camden upon its enthusiasm and progress In Red Cross work. She stated that there had been a 65 per cent increase In membership In South Carolina this year. Last year South Carolina contributed $17,000, and this year $105,000. South Carolina, she said, is among the highest in the nation. In answer to lnquii ies from Major Brailsford in regard to thd material left on hand, which he wanted to use for the poor and needy of Camden and Kershaw county, Mrs. McNeel stated that the material could not be used unless in case of emergency during a bombing or some such war measure. The goods can be used, however, she said, to help families of enlisted men. ' ~ . In his address to the gathering Rev. Henry F. Collins stated that he did not have to convince people of the Work of the Red Cross; they knew and were working with all the enthusiasm and courage of all Americans. He stated the American people were more enthusiastic than any other in the world, probably because they have more to get enthusiastic over. He further said he was beginning to realize what was meant by "Keep the Home Fires Burning"?what it meant to be sitting home waiting and trying to work locally as much as possible. Mr. Collins stated there were three conflicts in life that were raging right now, they being, "What is yours is mine if I have the power to take it"; "Isolationist philosophy;"^ "What is yours is 'yours, and you can keep it, but what is mine is mine and I will keep it," and "What is mine is my neighbors if his need is greater than mine. I will use it ae a steward - of God." The last philosophy is the one that dominates the Red Cross. The Red Cross has accepted a challenge and the Red Cross will accomplish that task, said the speaker. s The address of welcome at the annual meeting offered by Mayor F, N. McCorkle, who stated that as mayor of the city and deeply' interested in the work being-.done by the county chapter of the Red Cross, he desired to place hittself on record as being prepared to Offer the utmost cooperation in the program of the group. The mayor stressed the importance of the work being done by the Red Cross and declared that it should hare the united support of every American ctUsea. -- In particular the mayor spoke of the loyal workers whomake up the personnel of the Kdrshaw county chapter and how all had* worked untiringly and unatinttngly to farther the cause. The report of Treasurer Harold Funderburk showed total receipts of the chapter for 1941 to haveJbeen fl,931.79. Disbursements totaled $1,2)0.94, leaving a balance in the bank of $720.24 at the end of the' year _ The .production. account showed a total of $184.74 In receipts with disbursements aggregating $1IM7,' leering a balance Qf 148.87. Roll call receipts totaled $1,523.59, of *hlch $850,79 went to t?e national headquarters, leaving to the credit of the local chapter $272.80. Victoria Station Is the largest railway depot in London. It has 24 platforms Waterloo Station, with 21 platforms, ranks second. English View In Enthralling Sermon (Continued from first pegs) the Christian church must have the answers. It Is hard for Americans to realise, Mr. Coleman said, what the destruction of a church building 2,000 years old means to Londoners, but one of the lessons that London has learned is a new sense of the value of material things. The eternal things~"for which the building stood are still there, strengthened and cleansed by the fire. The English people are fighting this war and will win this war, Mr. Coleman said, not for the preservation of the Empire but for their homes. Not the houses, which in so many cases are already gone; but for the sanctity of the tradition of family life. Crowded in air raid shelters, and All Willows church operates several housing as many as 700 persons, Mr. Coleman said, he had seen families drawn closer together than they had ever hefore, joining in family prayers to Ood. "And, the English people are asking questions," Mr. Coleman said. "Questions that the American people must ask and to which they>must find the answers if anything but chaos is to result from this war." Mr. Coleman, in his parish, has been holding a number of discussion groups, including men and women from all walks of life?men and 'women who have had many and varied experiences. These discussions' are open to any questions but inevitably they turn to questions of religion. One question often asked?asked by parentfead^ho have* prayed for their children's safety and then had them killed?is "Do you believe In prayer?" "I do believe in prayer," said Mr, Coleman. "I've seen Na*i planes flying over the Thames and asked God to deflect the bombs so that they might not fall on my people and God did not deflect the bombs because he doesn't work that way. He had given the Nasi flyers the same free will he has given ns and -they dropped thev bombs, bringing. death and dee true-' tlon, but I've seen God bring my people within a few hours to the Holy Communion, thanlftul for the message of the resurrection, for the courage And the hope that made It possible for them to go on."

Jinx Shown With Cards Existence of a persona) Jinx?the bad luck which seems to haunt some people ? is testified to in scientific experiments at Duke university. This jinx haft definitely shown its curious thuits in experiments in shuffling and dealing cards, flyers in this scientific game, behthfrua shuffiertry to predict how the will lie after the shuffle. vuftjL This should be pure luck, unrein* humans have some ability tq font* see future events ? and ohfltneft events at that. By pure chance their scores of good and false guesses should average 50-50. But they are not 50-50. In nine years of exacting study, the cardcallers give some evidence In favor,} of prophecy being real. They fall into three classes: One, those who do significantly better than chance; two, those who average chance; and three, a certain class which seldom or never is able to average as much as pure chance. Their scores are always too low. * In this third class appears the , evidence for a.Jinx. Dr. J. B. Rhine, I who conducts the experiments, does not call the peculiar failure a jinx. He has no name for it yet. However, its odd results run parallel to what most persons call the jinx. As such, i^dds one more explanation of the ^Pght of those who always are behind the eight ball. The first clue to this jinx appeared during Dr. Rhine's well-known studies of mind-reading and second- : sight or clairvoyance, which are j known under the general name of j extra sensbfy perception. I In this Work the cards were already dealt. The player never saw ' them, but either .tried to read the mind of another person who looked at them, or to call their order by clairvoyance before anyone looked. - The decks were 25 cards each, yith five suits. Five correct on the average was purer chance. A few persons went way beyond^ the possibility of chance. One called an < average' of 17 right in about 50 consecutive decks. Directions for Washing, Wiping Painted Surface When you are going to open a partly used can of paiht, that has been stored, handle it carefully so j the film will not be broken and mixed with the paint. Remove the lid and use a putty knife to cut around the edge. Very often the film thus cut can be removed in one piece. When it is accidentally broken and mixed with the paint, strain the-paint before attempting to use it again. Painted surfaces can be washed 'with a mild soap and lukewarm water. A pure linseed oil soap, in a paste form, is a good one because it contains no abrasives. A solution of one tablespoon of tris odium phosphate to three quarts of lukewarm water is^alxo a good cleaner. Apply it with a cloth and rinse well with another cloth dippfed in clear water.. Wipe the surface dry. ] Trisodium phosphate, used iii the proportion of eight ounces, one standard cup, to two quarts of water, will remove paint. Spattered paint-on bricks and stone surfaces can be removed with this solution. Small spots of paint on window ' glass, are easily removed' when wet - by wiping with a cloth. After they are dry scrape with a razor blade Soften stubborn spots with turpentine and then remove with a razor blade. tL. ' Dried Vegetables ? I Dried vegetables will soon be^a part of every army cook's larder,, if experiments carried out by the fruit products division of the Unir versity of California college of agriculture are any indication. The division began investigating methods of dehydrating vegetables for army use more than a year ago at the suggestion of the quartermaster corps. Dr. W. V. Cruess, head of the division, reported that the methods developed have been very successful in drying-the vegetables tuft ftlll retaining their color, flavor and cooking quality. v; The secret of success, said Dr.1 Cruess, was found to lie in thorough' . 2y scalding the raw vegetables hi steam to precook them end destroy enzymes responsible for uddcsirable changes in flavor, color, odor and texture.

High Toll Among 'Bike* Riders; Fix Special Law Fifty per cent of the persons killed In bicycle accidents are children between the ages of 5 and 14, Paul W. Kearney, noted safety expert, points out in an issue of the Rotarian magazine. Over 1,000 youngsters have been killed and over 51,000 injured in such accidents in the last three years, he reports. The fault is not entirely that of tha bicycle rider. Tha fault is largely lack of stress on what Mr. Kearney calls "the 'three E's'?enforcement, education and engineering." Few cities and towns?only about 150?have studied the "bike problem" at all, and these have been rewarded by an immediate drop in accidents, i The third "E," engineering, is of necessity slow and expensive, but enforcement and education can be readily put into practice. Requiring registration of bicycles is a helpful practice, but only if it is used to enforce the laws pertaining to bicycles and used to report infractions of the law and common sense. Many towns that require tail lights or redactors for "bikes" ignore the ordinance and permit bicycle riders to pedal after dark with no sort of light to protect themselves? or to protect the motorist who cannot easily see a dark object against a , dark Aeld. j,1 >,* ),>-* .."

" V New Program To Help Small Farmer A now program to help the small farmer do bin part in serving the nation and winning the war was exPlained today by Edwin P. Rogers, Farm Security Administration Supervisor for this district, upon his return from a FSA regional conference in Montgomery, Ala., at which the plans were developed. Mr. Rogers reported that the conference placed the FSA program op a war footing, for the purpose of Increasing food production. To this, he said, every other part of the program will become secondary for the dura* tlon. - . ?Minimum goals for food production by families on the FSA program were fixed, Mr. Rogers said, and praotlcal help for the small farmer, both on and off the program was planned* with arrangements for loans to those farmers who cannot obtain credit elsewhere and who must have help in buying ohlokens, cows and hogs, In getting seed and equipment. The plans put into Shape the part which Farm Security will have In the Department of Agriculture's "Food for Freedom" campaign, In which all agencies for the department are participating. The goals were an extension of , those established by FSA in Ite "Food for Defense", program started last spring and which already is adding $15,000 to 120,000 daily to the income of the email farmer through Increased production of eggs, milk and pork products. v~? ?- ' Besides seeking to double the food , production by FSA families, especially in the essential items of eggs* milk and dairy products, cheese and vegetables, the new program Includes the following general goals: ..... Addition of one acre per f&mily of sorghum or sugar cane. Efforts to transfer cows from one family to anpther and in tome case# from one area to another where families have more that two yet have failed to manage and feed them. efficiently. ?.... Contlnued effort to cause FSA fam- > files to keep mid fully develop more heifers and gilts. Continued effort to get families to have more pastures.Develop plans for storing food with minimum facilities. Bncourage plans for fencing to overcome the shortages of wire. Mr. Rogers explained the broad ! goals of the F8A war program aa follows: "Wo Should be able in this period to complete our lohg effort to get small farmers to produce all the food they will nM for fully adequate diets. Thus {hey will not enter the market to purchase foods needed fdr domestic consumption by urban families or for export to our allies; and they may be idp^?te;fealfh*t one of the really important ways in which they ean perttglpete in the war effort Is to produce food. "The small fampy is still buying food, faed and seed. Now we see, and should help this family to see, . ( that ita patriotic obligation Is to quit worrying about a cash economy until we get the Number One Job done." * ' Guernsey gold to Gettye Peterborough, N. H., Jen. dd.?Nicholas P.
