No gas.
No sugar.
No tires.
And that's Just the beginning, according
to the Secretary of Agriculture
Wick a rd who only this week said
that by the end or the year luxuries
will be out?that only the necessities
may he obtainable.
Well. Mr. Wlckard. It's not exactly
a surprise to us to hear such Information,
in fact, we'vo been expecting it
You see, we're In the eighth month of
war and It's natural we should begin
to feel the strain.
We realize many of tho little purchases
soon will ho disappearing from
the counters?Items that we had come
to look on as "vital" parts of our life.
We grown ups, we guess, cun take
it. Mr. Wlckard. We can limit ourselves
to one razor blade a week, do
without sugar, gns and tires, give
lip cuffs on our trousers, save our
empty tooth paste tubes, and sacrifice
a thousand other little things.
We Americans will do that, Mr.
Wlckard.
And, Mr. Wlckafd, the government
even can curtail output of many of
the toys for our kiddies. Even at this
date. Christmas Is just around tho
corner for them. But they won't be
too disappointed to loarn that Snnta
could only lenve thorn a little candy?
if that? und a few little play suits?
Instead of the galaxy of rubbor balls,
dancing monkeys and electric trains.
No. Mr. Wlckard, the little fellows
won't mind too much?not If they are
told that even their sucrltlces are
aiding In slapping tho Japs. They'll
understand. And we Imagine they
might be pretty mad If you didn't
count them In on this "doing without"
plan.?Atlanta Constitution.
Girls Are Tough,
To Play In Camden
(Continued from first page)
Robinson of the Kendalls stutod the
girls teum was one of the best softball
groups he has seen In action In '
years and that the Kendalls wore very
lucky to win over them. Robinson has 1
arranged to bring tills girls' team to 1
Camden on Thursday, August t>, for ^
n game to he played at the softball t
field at Laurens and Fair streets at
five o'clock. Robinson states he hopes y
every sport enthusiast, in Camden and ?
vicinity will tie on hand to watch t
the sensational playing of this Mount i:
Holly aggregation. Not only is the t
pitcher outstanding, hut the girl who i
plays Hist base position and who t
comes from Halvoston, Texas, covers c
that Important position with tho
finesse of a major leaguer.
"We had no idea that we were go- "
ing to meet sui h a tinelv organized \
and playing aggregation like this
Mount Holly damsel team." said Rob- (j
lus.>u. We were lucky to win and j,
we won because we got a break In our
balf of the tenth inning. This Mount
Holly team is very apt to give us a
beating on August 6. Frankly, every 1
member of our team will admit that
ve had to play over our heads to hold
hose girls in check last Friday night."
The Kendall team win be forced to
jo to sotno expense to bring this
dount Holly aggregation of all-stars
o Camden next week, nnd in order to
neet this expense, a silver collecion
will be taken up during the game. '
t is hoped that there will be a big 1
urn out of the fans for this unusual i
lassie. (

One of the outstanding characteriHtk'B
of Governor It. M. Jefferles la
that he does not pull his punches.
That 1b one of many reasons he 1b
ho udmlred.
Appearing before a representative
group of South Carolina Baleamen,
gathered In the municipal auditorium
In Columbia to protest unfair gas
rationing, the governor referred to
bureau heads in Washington as "those
little pin points". He went on to declare
his Interest, In the rationing
problem was not related to polities,
but was In the nature of a protest
against the wrecking of magnificent
businesses and the practical destruction
of the filling station industry.
*
Regarding the protest meeting then
In session, the governor dpelared,
"Some pin heads would condemn a
meeting of this kind."
The governor camo out frankly
with a declaration "that gas rationing
in South Carolina Is absolutely
unnecessary and uncalled for , He
declared only one reason for the rationing/
that of the conserving of
j-ubber. has been gtvon for the gas
rationing, and he did not believe
that It was up to the seventeen eastern
states to carry all of the patriotic
burdens.
The action of the rationing group
In allowing politicians more gas in
order that they might run about the
state carrying on their political campaigns
was characterized as a "monstrosity."
He said farmers were placed
in a peril through being unable to deliver
their commodities.
* *
Another speaker at this protest
meeting was Senator James H. Hammond.
who, taking a crack at the little
bureaucrats in Washington, said
they made their first misconception
when they predicted the blasting of
the Japs In 10 minutes. Senator Hammond
spoke of the ''miles and miles
of desks In Washington and of the
many bunglers. He declared that
those many Washington office holders
were "a damned sight" more interested
In post war activities than
In the actual war now raging.

While chinning with the gang over ^
it WIS Ihst week we learned that
5ig Smith, excellent sports announcer,
h to bo back at the mike for sport
coverage. Sig was slated to don the
ihakl for Uncle Sam, but had some j
Dhysical ailment that resulted In his
>oing placed In another classification.
That Sig is to be back to give us *
he sport parade Is good news.
c
i
However, we admit that Dick Has- j
>rouck, who took over when Sig
vandored out at Fort Jackson, haa
>een doing a swell Job. We rather ^
ancy this dick for he hails from our ^
)wn midwest commonwealth?or to ^
>e exact, from Ashland, Wisconsin. f
le was at Iropwood, Mich., only a
short distance from Marquette when
this corner used to freeze up In the
latter place. Later Dick weut to Milwaukee
where he was on \VTMJ ae
announcer for a while. Dick knew
many of the Budger lade with whom
we are Intimately acquainted and you
can Imagine the fine pow wow we had
there In hie office.

The Sumter Junior Legion baseball
team took four straight beatings from
the Greenville Juniors and the latter
team will now battle the winner of
the Florence-Great Falls series, which
was tied up at this writing. We rather
expect Florence to emerge winner of
this series, although we would give
veut to some chuckles if Great Falls
eliminated the "disturbers."

The softball program In Camden
contlnuos to grow in popularity as
is evidenced by the ever-Increasing
number of spectators at the games.
The Kendalls won the first half of the
race and played off the round-robin
with the Highs on Monday night.
* *
This fellow Riley who cavorts
around the short field for the Instructors
Is none other than AllAinerican
Riley of the famous Alabama
Crimson tide of 1935. He Is a
swell fellow and you ought to see
him travel tjie bases out there In
the softbal arena, whew! That chap
has wings.
*
The little blonde laddie who always
has so much trouble In keeping his
peroxide locks out of his eyes, pitched
swell ball for five Innings last Friday
night in the playoff with the Instructors.
His name is Horn and he
sure was sounding some high notes
for five stanzas. But In the sixth the
pace told on him, or perhaps it was
that the Instructors, held two hits
up to that time, regained their batting
eyes, for they began to fill the '
air with drives and skiers until 6 runs '
had clattered over the pan. Horn knew
when enuff was enuff, and retired In
favor of Boykin.
i
One nice thing about the softball
play this season is that you never '
hear any grouching or bawling over 1
umpire's decisions. The boys are out '
for the fun and sport and the crowd '
eally likes that kind of showmanship.

The little bird' perched on my
ihoulder tells me some Interesting *
lope on that Kendall-Mt. Holly game
ast Friday. In fact, the little birdie f
iaid the game ended with a tie score
if 1 to 1 after ten innings of play.
Slsewhere in this Issue is a story
)f a 6 to 1 triumph by the Millers
n this clash with the ladles of Mt.
Jolly.
0 0
Said the little birdie, "The score
vas 1 to 1 after ten Innings of playr
The Kendalls scored four runs in the
lrst half of the eleventh when the
fame was halted by rain. So the
.core reverted beck '? >"? """1 o( ""
preceding, or tenth Inning.
? ? ?
We recall the Uttle feathered chap
on our shoulder ?atd the Mt. Holly
manager admitted that hie damaeIs
could not overcome that 4 or possibly
5 rune lead the Kendalle piled up
lu thq eleventh-that le perhape the
reason the story elaewhore hi Ihla
paper telle of a Kendall victory.
However, no matter what the ecore
waa, was want to aay we are looking
forward to seelug that Mt. Holly team
battle thfc Kendalls here next Thursday.
Any team of maldena that can
battle the Kendall gang to a I J#' I
deadlock in ten rounda. must have
class.
*
Denny Robinson Is a fast lad on
his footsies wheu he is legging It
around the paths on the diamond.
They tell me that Denny tried to steal
second base up at Mt. Holly and when
he came Into second, a sweet young
lassie met him with the ball and murmured
"welcome little man". But
Denny did not stay. He walked back
to the bench.
- #
We hope this Mt. Holly-Kendall
game can be arranged, for It will
be well worth seeing. This team of
dames played in the national tournament
last year?wornens' of course.
And believe mo. they are good. The
game hero srould draw at least 1,500
fans to the softball arena.
The Kendalls won the playoff series
for the first half of the city league
schedule by defeating a plucky .and
tfut-lucked High team 4 to 2. Qne
ripping triple by Lester Hoblnson in
the third Inning after Ben Robinson
and Baker had got on base on the
flukiest kind of singles, was the margin
of victory.
*
While both teams played fine ball,
we cannot say much for the umpiring.
Say what you please, an umpire
cannot call balls and strikes from
behind the pitcher and he certainly
canuot pass judgment on drives that
are close to the^ left field foul line.
One Kendall swat that went for a
single was foul Along this line by at
least four feet. And Farina's decision
on first base In that same frame
reminded us of the zone from sachet
kitty.
?
The teams In the league started
the second half race Tuesday and we
hope the sport fans will turn out to
watch these fine boys play. ,
ROSES and THORNS
We here In America are humane
and civilized, but Hitler must be having
a good laugh about the time we
are taking in. seeking to fasten the
chain of guilt upon a gang of enemy
saboteurs. It wouldn't take Mister
Schnlcklgruber long to decide the fate
of eight Americans caught under similar
circumstances In Germany.

Whose war Is It? That seems to be
a burning question on the part of a j
lot of newspaper and magazine writers.
For a fact folks?the answer
Is simple. It Is "our" war and from
here on, as the war sweeps with
jwlft crescendo to a violent climax It
will become more and more our war,
more and more ours to determine
whether It shall be a victorious war,
lafe-guarding all that the United ,
States stands for nud is, ordef3
and catastrophe whoso misery (3
only be Imagined.
If the peoples of the United SUwl
and by that we mean the civilians?
well as the soldiers, do not light un
