COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS (By Spectator) Muss meetings held in various cities Indicate how deeply desirous our people are for a policy of full natloual effort ugftiuat our enemies. The greatest ohatacle to all-out preparcdnoss is duo to strike^ ,to Labor's constunt efTort to use the emergency of war for the increase of wages. Meetings in Marlon, Florence, Newberry, Sumter and Dillon catling for wholehearted national effort, are notable patriotic efforts. Our government lias the power, as well as the opportunity, to put all our productive energy to work. And it has the obligation to do so. This Is no time to pluy politics; our National safety Is at stake. "I don't think I care to Join." said a mechanic to u member of the staff of the revenue offlco hero in Columbia. And thereby hangs a tale, as Shakespeare says. It will bo recalled that In order to do a little carpentry work or any other kind of work for our great preparedness and war effort a citizen of the United States had no standing unless he were a member of a Labor Union. An he could not he a member until he paid out a sum of money. So, then, the only men entitled to }obs were members of Labor Unions. All this was known to Washington and encouraged by Washington. This commission which a citizen had to pay was probably one of the Hoclal gains. Hut our people are generous ?even If nobody but a Union man was allowed a Job at fat wages, every man was Included In the draft, so that all slood on common ground somewhere. So If you couldn't get any of the Jobs you will still be allowed to fight. The mechanic must hnve been one of those who had to "fork out" In order to get a Job. He had to Join the Union. When making his statement of Income for the Income tax, he thought he was caught by another Unlpn and decided that he wouldn't Join, after hearing that this New Union (The Government) wanted f 66 from him. "I don't think I care to join," said our friend; but bubber, this Union will want, you 'till It licks Hitler and the Japs. Nobody says anything about Muhsolini these days. And old Benito seems "sorta" tongue-tied himself, eh? Must be Springtime; I see the little ( boys all over the ground with their marbles and the farmers are all agog over the new crop-year and turning soil with vim. I We must win the wnr. No other thought should he entertained. Wo are not winning today, however?tho^ balance sheet Is till against us today. If we nllow the Japs to gain a foothold In Australia wo and the British j will deserve the severest reprobation i of all men. Somewhere, sometime,, wo must tight with till wo have, in-i pludlng brains. Up to now, the "tooj littlo and too late" policy of both : Britain and America Indicate woeful, lack of Intelligent planning. The far- , ther away we light the safer will be j our own country. For that reason we must take part on land against! Germany and Japan. while Russia j and tho others are fighting on land. Who will be the next governor? If nn election were held today who would win? We know that Colonel Wyndham Manning will bo In the race. Does Mr. Jofferies purpose to run ? (Jovornor Jofferies wrote an open letter to the citizens of Colleton and in that letter I find these words: "It Is entirely possible for me to offer again In the summer primaries for the position of state senator from Colleton county, and I feel sure that If the people still wish (me) to serve them In the capacity in which I have tried to serve for the last sixteen years, this can be done. While of course It Is too .early to make a definite announenient yet, 1 think it only fair to say that it now seems probable that I shall ask again this summer for your confidence and support." if governor Jefferies elniinates himself there will bo Colonel Manning and Thomas II. IVeples, as declared candidates for Governor, with a half dozen others, either mentioning themselves, or being mentioned. Nothing is known yet about the senatorship; who will be in the race?

State and local chiefs of Emergency medical service are urged to give this activity of the health officers in their communities full support as a most important measure for the \vnrr time protection of our civil population. ^ NOTICE State of South Carolina County of Kershaw In the Court of Common I'leas i I Ex Tarte: ' Harold \V.

PARLER, OF COLUMBIA, 8HOW8 TRAVEL PICTURE TO ROATE8 At the Rotary mooting lunt Thursday which wan presided over by Pre?idont Moulu-ie J turns, Irving Poarce hud the program and his guest was T. H. Parlor, of Columbia. Mr. Parlor guvo un honost-to goodness talking picture entlllod "81rang? Coda of India and From Paris to India" on ? twenty-two thouaund mile caravan Journey- a travologuo picture aorloa, allowing' fantastic customs of their many religious aocta, their beautiful moa(j[uca and temples, woird dances of the natives and the tea and cocoanut induatry and showed signs over entruuco tp aoine teniploa prohibiting ontranco to worshippers or visitors wearing coats, hats or siioes. It waa a beautiful and spectacular picture of the far Kast brought to ike fur West ?which all goes to show that Mister Kipling was wrong when he said "east is east and west is west, and never the twain shall meet.' They met in the dining room of the Rotary Club through the medium of' the cinema and the fine thought of Irving Pearco and Mr. Parler. Among the many curious things portrayed was the Indla-conttolled railroads and other services in a land where a traveler must cross thirtyeight frontiers in going from Bombay to Delhi and its confused and complex conditions, social, economic and religious. Poor India! An American accustomed to a political life in which racial and religious differences play no acknowledged part in which the same basic governmental principals run from boundary to boundary, must sympathize with those whose task it i is to unite the nearly four hundred million peoples of this great penlnsu- j lar for defense and future freedom.i Will Sir Stafford Cripps be the man of the hour for these Indians of the far East? Allen Fletcher, of Ludlow, Vermont, was a visiting Rot&rlan. Secretary Lee Mays read the last attendance report and It was really something to write home about?Ninety-one point forty-nine. And lest you forget give to the Red Cross, buy plenty of defense stamps and bonds and in that way lend to attack and so?let us be of good cheer, for the things we most dread, never appear. The capstone of the Washington monument at the nation's capital is crowned by a small pyramid of pure aluminum weighing 100 ounces. Mulberry Defeats? Cavalry Foursome ?
