BARRIER TO DEVELOPMENT The South Carolina punitive daniago practice 1b a barrier to our Industrial development. If we would provide work for each generation und each group us It seeks employment? college graduates, high school graduates, and our other breadwinners, we must have more Jobs, moro opportunities. Ask the candidates for the Legislature If they are ready to support efforts to remove all barriers to tho development of the stute; or If they prefer to stand by tho faw ambulance chasers and damage-suit specialists? Are wo for South Carolina, or a few damage suit advocates? There are men who any that tho effect of our practice Is exaggerated; against that stands tho statement of industrial engineers that Industry Is ufruld of South Curolinu hecuuse of the punitive damage practice. Let's get rid of It. WORK OR DON'T EAT New York has embarked uh a war step on a homo relief policy of "work or don't eat." The policy became effective when Governor Lehman signed the Moffat bill, two days ago, which provides, for tho first time since public relief was legallred in 1931, that persons who refuse work, because It Is easier to be on a home relief, face a loss of their allowances. For years there had been agitation for such a policy, but It had always been rejected because of the possible J Ity of Its abuse In communities where! the relief program was not popular. This year the Increasing^ shortage of labor, plus the safeguards placed ill the measure, resulted In Its adoption without prolonged debate. It Is hard to understand now how some of the things that have been done In recent years could ever have been done. Some day. unless all the old principles by which mankind has kept going are proved to be utterly absurd, sanity will return and man will learn again that if he would eat lie . must work.?Greenwood Index.lou mal.

All dan- | ger In this connection Is not necessar < lly from bombing or other enemy attacks from without. Destruction by the enemies from within Is also a i possibility.

Fire proof and safe storage rooms or vaults are beat suited for the storage purposes. Caution, however, must he exorcised In that no storage will be placed In any vault or room whore there Is dampness, water, or vermin. Basic records that should be placed where they will be safe, include official county records, official municipal records, official township records. and school records. Other records of Importance are official church records, official cemetery records, official records of organizations, and records of Institutions of all kinds. Valuable books should also be placed where they will be safe from destruction. The same Is true of valuable paintings, pictures, and heirlooms. According to members of the Women's Division several storage vaults have been reported and are being Inspected. Any individuals who know of suitable storage accommodations are requested to get In touch with a member of the Women's Division. SUGAR CARD PROVES UNDOING OF LEE COUNTY CHICKEN THIEF One night last week a chicken thief visited the chicken yard of E. H. Hearon. Blshopvllle, Route 2. Eight nice chickens weighing about three pounds each, were* taken. The mys, tery was soon cleared up and the clearing up was due to a sugar rationing ticket, showing that there is good In most anything If you can find I the good. It happened on this wise: The chicken yard fence was broken down and the thief, a negro man living In the Cypress neighborhood, took the chickens and went on his way rejoicing that he had made a good successful haul. But alas, not so, for the man left or dropped his shirt which he is supposed to have rolled up In his pocket or elsewhere 011 his person. The shirt was found and in It was the sugar rationing ticket with the man's n^me on It. He now has time for repentance and to "cuss" the sugar rationing. He will likely have less chicken and less sugar as lie was soon arrested, tried and sent to the gang for a number of months.?Blsopvllle Messenger.

Lieutenant Hauprich succeeds Major Henry Huglln as commanding officer at the local post and Judging by the greeting extended him at the merchant's gathering, will prove just as popular as did his predecessor. Officials of the merchants group were elated over the success of the meeting and also the large turnout! of members. President Elchel plans on having an outstanding speaker at each monthly meeting of the association and Is seeking to have an army official be present at the July meeting to Outline the plans for the fall maneuvers. rwo Teams Drop Out i)f Softball League Ah who expected, the softbHll league, while starting off with mix teams uih now settled down to h four club Ircult and hopes to be able to play nit the 31 games schedule which has been prepared by the HureHu of Recreation. The Home (Juard team was the first :o withdraw, , the defense unit lads t?elnK unable to register sufficient players to muster a team that could ope with the other clubs In the loop.

The Monday game to be played on Wednesday, July 8. WARTIME SCHEDULES ARE ANNOUNCED BY GREYHOUND Beginning Monday, June 15, all buses operating on Atlantic Greyhound Lines will be running on new wartime schedules, according to anannouncement made by H. P. Brawner, Atlantic Greyhound Traffic manager. A complete rearrangement of services Is being made at this time to cooperate fully with the wartime program of the office of Defense Transportation. The Important thing In times like these is that every bus should work full-time and that vital materials needed for the war effort should be saved in every possible way. To give America's war program the right-ofway, it has been found necessary to limit service where there Is the least demand for it and to divert equipment to routes where it is most needed. In making the announcement of the new changes, Mr. Brawner stressed the fact that many peacetime features of bus travel are of necessity being discontinued. For one thing operating speeds are somewhat reduced, and Express and Limited schedules are eliminated entirely. Second sections of regular schedules will not be operated unless there are a sufficient number of passengers to Justify it. With tire and gasoline rationing so much in the limelight today, Mr. Brawner stressed the- fact that buses are aiding conservation greatly since they use only a fraction as much rubber and gasoline per passenger, per mile. He also expressed the hope that all passengers would remember that wartime travel Is not "travel as usual," and that they would make allowances If they were in any way Inconvenienced. or crowded, or delayed.

The solicitor then introduced the guest speaker. Doctor Gleaton, of Sumter, who said he was put under a serious handicap. He spoke on "When Life Goes to Pieces." To be disorganized is one of the most tragic things of life?organization is so necessary. If we can get ourselves organized we can appreciate the art of living. Get ourselves together? unite the heart to fear Thy name. The speaker urged everyone to make his "Christianity personal. If we do, we will find faith in human life and finally, we need to be coherent for it takes a well integrated person to know and understand the whole situation is a spiritual problem. Doctor Gleaton was a forceful speaker and his talk was well received. * And so Rotary bids you, be friendly with your neighbor and neighborly with your friends and invest ten percent of your income In war bonds and stamps in order to give our army tons of TNT and lang may it rain on Nazis and Japs.
