Itoake Carter'H criticisms were aimed principally at the backwardness of America n air force. Whether the name people drove him from radio that court marshalled Hilly Mitchell la of little matter; hut there was much of ignorance and high-handedness In each act; ami llioy aro both rovenled toduy uh having boon detrimental to the public good. There Is u rumor that Itoake darter will be reculled to hlH former place of Importance as commentator. America Ib not too Utile, but It 1b now too late to recall Hilly Mitchell or the battleships that ho might huvo saved had It not been for our bureuucratlc navy.?Calhoun Times. * A SYNTHETIC TIRE 80NNET The News and Courier almost sings it: Oh, Little Hables, Don't be criers; bo me sweet day you'll have new tires; dear Little Citizens, don't you blubber goon you'll have synthetic rubber. Though Jesse Jones did cross ills wires, to make you happy he aspires. New Dealers will assuage your pains, rebuild your cars with Social Gains. You need not be so very tearful, nor is the war so very fearful, for cay and a half for overtime will make your life sublime. Never mind the Japanese; put your laith in the decrees of great humanitarian bosses never mindful of the losses. Vote right and you'll get a Job, be an office-holding slob. Vote for salaries for civilians though it cost the public trillions. Don't you mind about the taxes, leave that, to Hitler and bis Axis If while we nod perchance they lick us, they surely to the bono will pick us. Listen, Hoy. and hear this, you won't get it in the heck, government will give rubber; then or trouble ne'er you 11 reck. While your statesmen talk and talk, you may learn again to walk?and don t you weep, for you'll be buyers sofne day of synthetic tires.? The News and Courier.

Defense Council Activities I The resignation of Mrs. Wiley Sheorn as chairman and member of (lie woman's division of the county council has been received with genuine regret by the council personnel. Mrs. Sheorn has been in charge of this division since its inception last summer and her task has been remarkably well performed. Because of ill health she is compelled to give up the work. So satisfying was her leadership In the woman's division. Commander Ralph Shannon has addressed the following letter of appreciation to her. "The Kershaw County Council for National Defense accepts with keenest regret your resignation as chairman of Its woman's division, due to your recent ill health. I wish to take this opportunity to express to you both personally and in behalf of the council, thanks for the splendid work which you did during your term of office. No one roallzes more fully J than I the difficulties under which j you labored, but your uccomplishI ments far outshadowed the troubles | which you had to contend with. -Trusting you will soon be well and I knowing that you will assist us whenI ever called upon In the future." i i Another tine worker, and also a member of the same division, who has been obliged to resign because of assuming other duties, is Mrs. Ralph N. Shannon. ? * Commander Shannon has announced that he has appointed Mrs. S. C. McKaln as chairman of the woman's division, and has also appointed Mrs. C. 1\ DuBose, Jr., to the unit. With j Mrs. John Mullen, Mrs. McKaln, and Mrs. DuBose, constitute the woman's division. Owing to the resignation of A. Sam Karesh as chairman of the salvage committee of the county council, Commander Shannon has appointed A. C. McKaln to this important office. Mr. Karosh resigned to take over | the chairmanship of the l*SO camI paigti. i The return of Chapman Barrett, from Texas A. and M. where he attended a special school provided for the instruction of those called upon to supervise protection programs in civilian defense activities will mean that special classes will- get under way in a short time for training In handling incendiary bombs, gas situations and other details of defense routine. * * * By the way, do you want to keep warm and snug next winter? If so, better buy coal now. This isn't any plug for fuel dealers but a straight from the shoulder warning that coal will be hard to get next fall?not because of there being any great scarcity in the product, but because of the matter of transporting it. War "industry is going to require at least 20 per cent more coal this year. This increase will begin to be felt this summer. New Industrial plants will bo in operation, demands for electric power will rise and railroads and ships will be needod for the movement of men and munitions. Theee? will be enough locomotives and curs and coal ships and barges to supply all the needs of the domestic market after mid-summer if buyers wait until the end of the summer to order coal. If you are wise Mr. Home owner and Mr. Consumer, you will have your coal shed or .bin filled at once. Captain Dwight Partridge, who has been captain of the auxiliary police and who has done a right smart Job In that capacity has resigned because of leaving for his home in New England. His place has been filled by Commander Shannon by the appointment of R. E. McCarty. * Another man who has done a fine job in the building up of the local defense program. Ralph Waldo Chase, will also be leaving for his northern home soon. Ralph will bo missed by all who have responded to his enthusiasm. Betheada Presbyterian Church t Sunday. April 26.?A.
