Americans can take heart over the
irillian*. tighting of the Yanks who
ush-'d to the aid of the British in
Egypt. You may be sure these Yanks
ire largely responsible for the haltng
of the Germans.
?
American military experts are convinced
that the war can only be won
by striking at the very heart of the
enemy. All of which means a second
fron'. u;'h the United Nations striking
a' German soli through France,
the bombing of Berlin and Tokyo f.nd
a p *:1'! invasion of Japan.

WW.. ( tmden and Kershaw county
turn1 out splendidly for the defenso
demon-tration and patriotic rally held
hero Monday afternoon. It was a fine
efforr made possible by the defens
coun. .1 commander, Ralph N. Shannon.
and his hundreds of willing workers.
The address of Dr. William P.
Jacob* u.is impressive and brilliant.
We have heard the eminent head of
I>rcsl>y?,.rian college speak on a number
of occasions and it Is always
a tr-.i'. His mastery of rhetoric, his
sensible and coherent presentation of
fact.- which strike at the very heart,
.offers much food tor thought.
The parade was splendid and tea
tured Camden's own soldier boys, the
Home Guard, the Essex Troop band,
the motorized equipment, the splendid
turnout of air raid wardens,, auxiliary
police, auxiliary firemen, Red Cross
workers and other units of defense
activities reflected tho interest and
cooperation everywhere in evidence.

Our office girl did a, masterful Job
in the role of a newspaper reporter
up at Bethune last Thursday. She did
not miss a trick in gathering up the
material for the story you read on
I page 1 of today's Chronicle. It was
(just one of those times when this
corner was confronted with the problem
of being in two places nt one
time. But everything went hunky
dory with her going to town a3 a
sob-sister.
The sincere sympathy of the community
goes out to Reed Sarratt in
the passing away of Mrs. Sarratt laBt
Friday. In her death the community
loses a beautiful Christian character.
She will be sadly missed by sorrowing
friends and relatives.
Arthur Slade, Court Inn manager,
sure made a hit with the mail carriers
who gathered at the historic
Inn to hold their annual state con)
clave last week. We taiked to a
score of Uncle Sam's lads and they
all united in giving Art a great big
pat on the back as being the ideal
! host.

j Sport Potpourri
BY THE SKIPPER
: The performance of Camden-trained
horses in the various race meets
, 'chase circuit Is a source of keen satisfaction
to the folks in the local
equestrian colony, as well as Camden
citizens in general. The latest winner
was a Harrington Stable entry in
the Peebles handicap race.
*
j The softball bo>*8 down at Mulllns
have a new conception of the game
since the Kendall laddies invaded
j their bailiwick and spanked them in
a double bill 14 to 3 and 12 to 1. Artie
(Robinson was the "iron man" of the
afternoon, hurling both games. The
offensive power of the Kendall outfit
was very much in tho picture.
* *
| They had a sensational tennis
match up at Forest Hills last Saturday
with Don Budge overpowering
Bobby Riggs in three straight sets
by 6 to 2 scores. Budge didn't merely
overpower ,Riggs?he borrowed Riggs'
I favorite drop shot and literally made
a monkey out of the smaller player.
Budge had Bobby running all over
the court and the Chicago star finally
stopped the game to put on some
spiked shoes. Tho tournament committee
naturally made Bobby remove
the spiked footwear and return to
sneakers. Sport writers declared Bobby
would have had to don roller
skates to keep up with Budge's raking
cross fire.
Well, the worm turned. After being
kicked all over the state Legion
baseball map, the Sumter Juniors
finally won a, game, and listen folks?
of all teams to take the licking from
the Gamecocks?it was Florence?
rated to be the outstanding Legion
outfit in the Palmetto commonwealth.
After dropping the first of a Fourth
of July twin bill to Florence, the
Gamecocks came back la the second
stanza and by scoring five runs In the
first two innings?went on to win
5 to 2. The score of the first game
was 3 to 1.
# ?
We note that Beckham Russell,
former ace of the Rex Billard and
Sinclaire teams, is In the lineup of
the Merchant's team of the city
softball league. We also heard a little
birdie whisper that Carl Lightfoot
Is going to get Into action with
the same squad. That means the
Merchants should go places.

Well folks, next week we are going
to offer a few paragraphs on the local
golf situation. Back when we were
writing sports up in Wisconsin we
had the honor of being charter member
of a fine golf club, was chairman
of the sports and pastimes committee
of the club for some seven years?
played a lot of golf and voted it the
best game in the world. Later, In
Florida, and still later in Upper Michigan,
we took an active part in golfing
programs. So we feel we have a
real background of experience on
which to base anything we might offer.
?
Speaking of baseball?the dope
went right on the button in the allstar
game and also in the game between
the winner of the all-star game
and the service team. The American
leaguers walloped the Nationals 3 to
1 and then went on to spank the service
team the next night 5 to 0.
0 0 0 0
Two former Milwaukee stars, Rudy
York and Kenny Keltner, played Zrat
and third respectively for the American
leaguers and Rudy accounted for
the margin of victory in the game
against the Nats by a home run clout
which chased a runner home ahead
of him. In the second his hitting
proved a big factor. Keltner, who
got his start at Garfield Park, in Milwaukee,
near where I lived, was sensational
around the hot corner.
In the state Legion junior race it
looks as if Darlington is going to
show up the Florence lads?especially
if Darlington pitches this chap, Byrd.
That lad is the whole team because
the other clubs cannot hit his shoots.
CHECK MOWER IN ADVANCE
TO 8AVE TIME AND LABOR
"Take cure of your mower, and It
will take care of your hay by finishing
the Job without a breakdown,"
says couuty agent W. C. MeCariey.
Interruption* In the luldat of harvesting
hay, he declares, are wasteful
of ttine and labor. To avoid such
waste, especially at this critical period
for farmers, and to sidestep the
chance of damage to the crop while
the mower Is being fixed, advance
check-ups and ropuirs are recommended.
?
Here are some poiuters on the
care and repair of the mower from
C. V. Phagun, extension agricultural
engineer of Clemson college:
Check the cutter-bar assembly
thoroughly for bent or loose guards
and brokeu or dull knife sectioua.
Remove knife from cutter-bar and
straighten or remove twists If needed
to prevent binding and excessive wear.
Obtuln close shearing actlou knife
by replacing worn wearing plates and
setting knife clips or holders down
to prevent up and down play of knife.
Replace guard plates if worn Instead
of replacing entire new guard.
Make sure the knife sections center
In the guards at each end of the
pitman stroke. If not, will have heavy
draft, poor cutting, and brokonknlves.
Check cutter-bar ullgnment If excessive
draft or side draft Is Indicated.
A properly adjusted cutter-bar will
have its outer end sot in advance of
the Inner end by about one-fourth
inch for each foot of length. This
"lead" is necessary to have pitman
and knife straight line when operating.
The lead and adjustment vary
with mowers and should be determined
from the manufacturer's manuel.
For further Information on mower
repairs, see South Carolina Extension
Circular 173, "Mower Repairs and Adjustments."

A Georgian Tells of
Trip To Australia
A C.eorgta boy's impression of Australia
are brought to us by the Saturday
Evening Post. In a story transmitted
by radio Edgar Laytha quoted
Private James E. Perkins, of Moultrie.
"America is already becoming
the Old New World and Australia tiie
New Old World," Bald the Georgian.
If this war stopped tomorrow, you
couldn't get me out of this place.
Get me a hitching post In Melbourne
and I'll tie up there and never move.
We came here expecting to And just
another British possession, but the
Australians are Just Americans all
over again."
We shall let the reader make his
own appraisal of this homely Cracker
observation, but we are sure that It
has more than passing significance. !
Arriving In a strange land, thousands
of miles from home, Private
Perkins Is astonished to find the "Australians
just Americans all over
again." Wherever men are free, they
are much the same. The American
way of life Is dear to us and should
he. The Australian way is dear, to
them. Freedom and justice and tolerance
are the solid foundations of the
good way of life, whether it be ours
or theirs. For this "new world" we
fight together.?J. M. Macaulay In Atlanta
Journal.

"We have been working toward
this sort of planning for some time,
trying to get a bettor picture of the
problems that the Farm Security Administration
has to holp people meet.
The welfare of farmers depends on
conditions that can bo set down along

only by areas can the particular conditions

circumstances be understood,
and that planning can be done to
serve them accurately."
