GOODMAN, Director Motor Transport Division May LV1942 Funderburk Guest Speaker at RotiM7 The ltotary dubs i**k*> 1 ai-1 y scheduled meeting held last Thursday at Hotel Camden was presided over by President Moultrie llurns and Dr. Curl A. West had the program. 111b guest speaker was Attorney llurold Funderburk who Is preparing to close his law office to take IvJs part In the armed forces of the United States. Mr. Funderburk talked of what peace means and realized he was speaking before a body of men. umny of whom were in the last conflict and said in the luHt one hundred and fifty years we have constantly been in a changing nature and when you fought for democracy, you did what you considered the right uud proper thing. It had to be done. We havo always been one nation and we intend to be one nation always and forever, and If we are to win this war we must have a mission. We must put aside all isolationists wherever they exist and we must have an international concept?economic, political and social. I want to c6me back, not to Amorica as it has been since 1917, but to an America as we conceive it to be?a liberal democratic nation, an economic democracy-rr-an economic justice of freedom and equality and we must carry to the rest of the world our way of freedom and liberty of life. Just to say that Mr. Funderburk was interesting would be a masterpiece of understatement. He was given a big hand. The new Rotarians who recently came in to the club were called on for their life's history?we call it their autobiography?a thing required of new members. Those who gave them were Dick Kirk, K. C. Etters and Sidney (Slick) Zemp. Secretary Lee Mays read the attendance report for last month and was it good??ninety-four. per cent. Our guest was Corporal A. D. Moore, No 31 R. A. F.

He js a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Clifton McKain. When the late Mister Nero gave his music recital, only Rome burned. Today the whole world is on Are.

Redfearn Offers For Senate Post (Continued from first page) of president of the Production Credit association of Kershaw and Lancaster counties for several years. Prominent city and county business men, who were approached for statements regarding their reaction to the announcement of Mr. Redfearn's offering for the office of state senator, declared that they knew of no one who could represent, the interests1 of the county with greater judgment and success than Mr. Redfearn. The announcement has met with universal satisfaction on every hand. 1942 -"PO' FOLKS" VACATION HEADQUARTERS;-1942 Take a Two-Week Land Cruise, Including Transportation and Hotel Room Accommodations, via Streamlined Train to Riviera Hotel and Return for only $55.00 FLORIDA'S NEWEST, FINEST, and LARGEST ALL-YEAR HOTEL.

Meter liar Cheeked Often to Detect 'Drifting WASHINGTON, D. C.?The American inch has remained stable, within the limits of measurement, for half a century, Dr. Lyman J. Briggs, director of the United States bureau of standards, revealed in a paper published by the Smithsonian Institution. The national primary standard of length, Dr. Briggs says, is a meter bar made of an allqy of the relatively rare metals, platinum and iridium, which is kept at the bureau. Actual checks, however, are made with another bar which, in spite of its hard usage, has increased in length only about .0004 of an inch, or less than two microns, in half a century. The platinum and iridium alloy was selected beI cause of its extreme stability. The bar in actual use is checked | frequently with its prototype and, up to the time of the war, with the j world standard meter bar which is kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures at Paris. There might still be the possibility, Dr. Briggs points out, that both the American bars are "drifting" and that even the international bar might be changing in length. Fortunately, he says, there is a way of checking this with a standard which is unchangeable. Every element, when made luminous, gives out light of specific wave lengths. There has been selected a single wave length?a red light line given out by the element cadmium and which, it has been ascertained, has a length of precise)} < 6488.469Q Angstrom units. An Angstrom unit Is a ten-millionth of a millimeter. When the meter bars are measured with these Hfcht waves, there is no evidence of a systematic drift. 'Faithful' Retain Jobs Under Will of Employer LANCASTER, PA The will of the late John P. Horn, Lancaster furniture manufacturer, provides that the business be continued to provide employment "for my faithful and loyal employees." On instructions from Horn, Attorney H. Clay Buckholder read the . will to the plant's 60 employees. Horn was buried a few hours ear.lier. The will awarded equal shares in the furniture business to Horn's three brothers, Joseph, August and Jacob, all of Lancaster county, and to Othman Kirchner and Charles L. Zerbe, executives of the company who had been associated with him for many years. First Citizen Is Also Last in Oklahoma Town LOCKRIDGE, OKLA.?J. J. Lenhart was the first citizen and the last of this Oklahoma village. Lenhart moved out only after all other Lockridge residents had left. The story of Lockridge's fall is not a new one?larger towns in the immediate vicinity lured the residents away. The town was founded in 1903 and prospered until the fatal cotton and wheat year of 1910. Then it hit the downgrade despite several efforts by Lenhart?who was its first merchant?to keep it alive. When Lenhart's store building was razed by workmen, the last mark of Lockridge was gone. It was the last building there. That^Ql' Rocking Chair Hasn't Got Mrs. Alwes KANSAS CITY, MO.?Mrs. George Alwes, who is 71 years old, thinks that a bowling alley is a livelier place for her than the easy chair in her living room. ;She explains her hobby this way: "When a woman's hair turns white she is supposed to sit in rocking chairs and knit or listen to the daytime radio serials. But not. me. No sirree, bowlers are young in heart and as long as I'm playing the game I'll be no older than any of those around me. And I think it will help me to live longer." S^e bowls around 180.

These giant four-motor airplanes are on their war to blast German war plants In the mounting British round* the-dodr air offensive tbat has already smashed at the big Krupp, ah*. ?d Ship'Sinks Near New Orleans New Orleans, May 15. ? One of the boldest attacks yet made by Axle j submarines along the United States I and Oulf coasts?the destruction by | torpedoes of a large cargo vessel a short distance off the mouth of the Mississippi river?was announced today by the navy. Twenty-seven of the 41 crew members were killed in the explosion and Are in the attack, one of the worst marine tragedies In the history of the Oulf of Mexico. The remaining crew members were critically or dangerously burned, with a single exception. The attack by the Oerman U-boat, which apparently was lying on the shallow bottom waiting for the ship to enter the river, occurred Tuesday afternoon, May 12, about a mile and a half from the river's mouth. While waiting to enter the river, the ship was hit by three torpedoes in rapid suoceeslon. Most of the crew never reached the water. Survivors who got to the windward rail Jumped and were picked up In about half an hour. Only seven bodies were recovered and these were not Immediately Identified. The ship was the fifth attacked in the Oulf of Mexico in less than a week, and the fourth lost. One ship was towed into port, although badly damaged. Tfcree livee had been lost In the previous attacks, on the morning of the torpedoing, the navy said, an explpslon had shaken the east jetty of the southwest passage of Mississippi's mouth. Damage was slight and no menace to navigation was created. The navy said it had .not determined whether it was a stray torpedo, a torpedo fired deliberately by an enemy sub, or some other cause. Manufacturing, of garden hose consumed enough rubber hi the last quarter of 1941 to. make bullet-proof gas tanks for 400 Flying Fortresses. The air ministery said that the Neptune shipbuilding yard and subfactories of the Heinkel aircraft in* dustry were reported heavily damaged. Toys and novelties consumed enough rubber last year to equip 8,000 2 1-2-ton trucks for the army or 40,000 half-tonners.
