and as much personal publicity
as possible. Some of the congressional
debates have been a great
comfort to the enemy. And a few
big-mouth senators have actually endangered
the lives of American boys
by revealing their movements in advance.
To send these politicians
back home until the war is over might
hot be a bad idea.

Kemp. Some Atlanta business men
are delighted ?a new bomber plant,
to employ 40,000 persons will be located
there. "At last we will get
some of that defense money here",
they say. When 'you hear this kind
of talk in Atlanta, you cannot help
but think of that day scarcely seventy
years ago, when General Sherman
drove the citizens of Atlanta from
their homes and set fire to the city.
Sherman left a proud city In smouldering
ruins. Nearly all the Georgians
living at that time are dead,
but their children are still living and
they must knoV of the burning and
sacking of their homes. Wouldn't
you think these people would realize
that 'warishell' and it may strike
again when least expected?
* *
The best^way .Is to be fully prepared
and In that connection, let's all
get back of Ralph Shannon, Ralph
Waldo Chase and Rocky Bonsai and
their workers and provide Camden
with a civilian defense that is 100
per cent in every particular.

I ROSES and THORNS )
At a swanky joint in New'York recently,
Dorothy Thompson, the columnist
we all like to hear, took to
task a full-blown blonde who shouted
"Hell Hitler" at her. Quite a Singapore
meTee resulted. Miss Thompson
did not swing anything but some
nice verbage but the full-blown blonde
swung her teeth and they were not
loose either. A man by the name of
Cashier saw the blonde's escort
standing around unoccupied so he
soaked hhn to the floor. The escort
rose and again went down. He got
up again, spit out a few teeth, and
staggered over to the blonde who was
using her teeth to good Advantage on
Miss Thompson and urged his sweetie-pie:
"Come on, let's get out of
here, this dump is getting dull."
To continue with the drama?the
blonde had quite a time getting her
teeth out of Dorothy's flesh, and the
doctors refuse to say whether the
danger of tetanus is over or not. The
moral of the battle of the dames Is
an ancient one, at least a million
yeffrs^older and..?uns something like
this: "Wiser Is he, than the rulers
of men, who passes a drunk without
noticing him." When that drunk
happens to be a full-blown blonde, it
is sheer madness' to Interfere?at
least that is what Dorothy says.

Too much is being said about the
"national morale." It makes people
self-conscious and nervous. The
more we discuss that sort of thing
the more our supposedly stout and
patriotic nation tends to develop
into an outfit of hypochrondiacs, earnestly
discussing their symptoms and

themselves, to get outside of themselves
and to fix their attention on
their country and what it needs in
this crisis; and to keep so busy In
useful work that they forget about
their nerves and their souls.
i Sport Potpourri
BY THE SKIPPER
The fans who braved the drizzling
rain Sunday afternoon to Jaunt to the
polo field witnessed one of the bestplayed
games offered in the 1941-42
season so fart It was a whale of a
scrap with the teams battling on even
terms the entire route. Two goals
by Joe Bates added to one by Burns
in the fifth period gave the Ramblers
three points while the Palmettos caged
two, these by Lightfoot and DuBose.
Ralph Chase had a wet afternoon
?remaining at his post in the public
address stand, even when the deluge
of rain was hardest.
m
There was, a rush for the grandstand
when the rain really began to
come down in the fourth period. Old
J up Pluv failed to dampen the Interest
in the match however, as the
crowd really went to town in rooting.
If we were to pick out a few of
the outstanding stars we would Btart
with Carl Lightfoot, who played the
best game of his long career in the
polo arena. Carl was not only riding
'swell but bis shots were terrific. DuBose
did some beautiful shooting and
his riding was brilliant. Bates was
as usual, a tower of strength for the
Ramblers and spanked home three
markers during the afternoon.
The old rivalry between Anc and
Ralph Waldo was ever to the ftre,
with Ralph passing over a few smackers
to Anc. when the final bell sounded.
In this private feud, a week ago,
it was Anc who did the pony-up stunt.
.
Ralph Chase did a nice bit of playby-play
broadcasting of the game action.
Ralph will be heard over the
air waves tomorrow at the Generate'
races at Mlllway plantation.
9 9
Some enterprising radio outfit, up
in the polo area of Long Island, should
take a gander at this chap Chase.
Ralph knows the game and has a
manner peculiarly his own in putting
out his story. Nice work fellar.

by having the riders stage a
game replete witit sensational shooting,

in scoring went to Lightfoot
ot the Paltnettoa and Mates of
the Hamblers, ouch chalking up 3
goals. Burns of tlte Hamblers was
the only other player to gather inoi><
than one goal, getting two for his afternoon
performance. Kvery player
scored at least once.
The game was unique In that t-pch
team scored a goal per period for
four periods. DuMose was riding beautifully
and uncorked some long shots
that w? re only prevented from break- k
lug into the score book by either
striking the goal posts or missing
them by inches. In tho first chukker
Charlie hit a long drive that wmt
at least 80 yards through the air to
collide with the left goal post and
bound back into play.
In the fifth period both teams,
soaked in #the heavy downpour of
rain put on one of the fastest demonstrations
of riding and shooting seen
on No. 1 field in years. The Palmettos
scored twice. DuUose and Lightfoot
