J nut how much that would aggregate per person in hard to say as all of the 33,000 residents of the county did not receive sugar. Hut taking the county population as a basis figure there would be over two and a half pounds per person. We would havo given a genuine new buck to have seen Roland Goodale's face when he discovered the cache of gasoline In the back of his car last week. And we pass the (Muster of orchids to the champion optimist the guy who called to claim the gas the day following. ? The funniest yarn we havo heard in many a moon came to our notice last week. Seems that the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York were strolling about London sort of Incognito when they came upon a London bobby (policeman to you), who was arresting a ragged urchin and protested to him, whereupon he, the bobby, arrested them. When hauled Into the police station the sergeant asked the names of the throe. "I'm the Duke of Kont" and "I'm the Duke of York", said the two members of the Royal family. "And 'oo aro you?" growled the sergeant to the urchin. The kid gulped, "I can't let me pals down. Just book me as the Archbishop of Canterbury." * * * * Did you over hear of the fond mother who was showing off her 12year-old daughter. "My child is so bright. She Is studying Algebra and French", said she. "My dear" she said addressing her child, "Say good morning to Mrs. Jones In Algebra." I understand there are 47 rules for winning a war. A writer in a mag says that tho first Is to win the war. Never mind the other 46. Noal Parker tells this one. Seems he had to call at a residence to check on a trouble call. Going up to the house N'eal rapped on the* door, and when the lady of the house appeared said, "I understand there's something in tho house that won't work." "Yes", said the lady of the house. "He's upstairs." Have you heard of tho farmer boy who tried to enlist but was refused because of bad feet. The day after being turned dowu he appeared again. The examining doctor had had a hard session with so many men to examine and was very abrupt with the farmer boy. "It's no use. I can't pass you. You couldn't stand the marching", he roared. "Why In blazes did you copie back". "It's this way Doc. I walked 187 miles to "get here and I Horta hate to walk back." Sport Potpourri BY THE SKIPPER -4 Hob Zuppke, former football coach at Illinois, has been selected to bo head coach of the all-star college team that will battle the Chicago Hears in the annual all-star pro classic at Soldiers' Field in Chicago, on August 28. Chicago race fans witnessed the upset of the year last Saturday when a gahant Irish-bred colt named Rounders won the Arlington Handicap race before 30,000 spectators at Arlington Park, defeating Whirlaway, the nation's leading money winner by three and a half lengths. Sam Daniels and Sara Rushton, well known Columbia tennis artists, who have appeared in matches hero, won the men's and women's singles in the Darlington turnamcnt last Saturday and then went on to team up In ail unbeaten doubles combination I for another championship. We are mighty glad that our good friend and one of the most ardent sport followers in Camden, W. L. Robinson, who has been confined to the hospital here, Is on the road to recovery. W. L. Koblnson cornea from the old at'hool of baaeball?In fact, when he used to perform on the diamond, the object of the game was to try and make 21 runs?the team making the 21 counters first being winner. * * * Mr. Koblnson has contributed greatly to Camden sport? In thart ho has given the community throe outstanding baseball players, namely Beanie, Arthur and Lester. You baaeball and softball fans know these lads. We do. atul we have found them to be real sportsmen. Arthur has been doing a swell job of supervising the .softball program this year for this corner. .r We always feel when we watch Arthur doing his stuff on the baaeball or softball field, that ho deserves a lot of credit. Many fellows deprived of an arm like Arthur was. would have quit cold. But not Artie?ho plays a tine game of ball, whether It is soft or hard. He specializes as a pitcher, and Is doing a nice job for the Kendalls in that respect. Well, here's hoping W. L. Robluson will be out again soon. As long as this corner has been living around here?and that Is almost six years now?we have found Mr. Koblnson right on tho job at every baseball or football game. Something seems wrong when our roving eyes cannot locate him in the bleachers. The announcement of Commissioner Keneaaw Mountain Landis, the czar of baseball, that negroes may be used in organized baseball Is going to get a big reaction throughout the baseball world.. William E. Benswanger, president of the Pittsburgh Pirates of the Major league, has declared he wilt use negro players next year. * According to L. K. Wilkinson of the I Kansas City Monarchs, champions of ! negro American League, there a.re I at least twenty-five major league ball players of major league caliber. Wilkinson states that he has already told his prize chattel, Satchel Paige. Icing pin of negro pitchers, that he will not stand In his way if the lanky right hander has a chance to play with the major league ball club. Wilkinson has a two-year contract with Paige. Satchel, who holds decisions over the Dean brothers, Bob Feller, School Boy Kowe, and other major mound stars, would have to be tendered a pretty sizeable chunk of money for his signature. He has received as high as $2,000 for a single game and considering that he works In more than 80 games a year, his recompense would rank him with the highest salaried athletes in the game. ROSES aid THORNS 9 I r ' ? Roses to the London Daily Mail. This newspaper was successful in keeping the British government from spilling a vital war secret all over the world to the benefit of Germany and Japan. A new powerful antiaircraft device had been perfected by the British government. Tho British War Office announced its intention to make a public story about the machine. which it described as being so simple that with the details and closeup photograph, it could easily be copied. The Daily Mall demanded that the war office change its mind and ban the story. After due reflection. the request was granted and the story was not used. Tho I.ondon Daily Mail lost a good story, but the Germans and Japs lost I the benefit of five years of British experimentation. The Daily Mall deserves the Victoria Cross?the British War Office deserves thorns. I The 1940 educational census of !South Caroliua is certainly something that we should be ashamed of. It shows that eight per cent of the persons over 25 years of age, have never had a single year of schooling, and thlrty|flve per cent have less than fifth grade education. These are features which have a direct bearing on the war effort because the Army is not accepting as soldiers, men who cannot lead or write. * Frankly, it's difficult for this corner to see any justification on the part of the Army in rejecting illiterates. It seems to us that it smacks of placing a premium on illiteracy. As we view the problem, why does not the Army accept the illiterates for duty where they are most greatly needed? As a matter of fact, a man does not have to be able to read Latin in order to be a sharp-shooter. Wo believe Americans can take it, and for that reason we believe that the bad news of the war, including the casualty list should be published frankly and fearlessly. Casualties were published daily in the newspapers during the first world war. There is no reason to believe that the American of today is not able to absorb bad news just as well as the Americans of the first world conflict. Meaningless phrases, idealism, and soft soap is not going to win this present war. The American people must be awakened to an understanding of the seriousness of our plight by being given the stark, ugly truth. As the news of the Axis victories appears in the press and pours forth from loudspeakers, we should realize that unless every single one of us bends every single energy he possesses to the one objective of licking the Axis, we are going to continue to lose the war just as we have been losing it since December 7th. American people don't want any rubber stamp Congress and they don't want any silent Congress that thinks criticizing the conduct of the war is obstructing victory. We have a democracy here and, if we believe in democracy, we certainly must believe in the value of constructive critislsm. The folks of Dover, think that the American song. "The White Cliffs of Dover", is Just fine but they profess considerable wonderment as to where the writer got the idea there were any blue birds around there. No one ever has seen a blue bird near the white cliffs of Dover in peace or in war. The birds most likely to be seen are black birds with white crosses on them with bombs under their wings and machine guns in their bills. j TtwTsERIOUS^I^K Unofficial, news from Washlngtri^B is to the effect that gasoliue ratlofcfl I ing is to be abandoned, "at until after the elections." In speakfr^? of this latest ('patriotic gestur^o}^? the part of Washington, the Chir.^H lotte officer waxes very caustic sarcastic. To wit? "When you look back over our gorJ^H ernment's efforts to curtail gasoltntl sales during the past 12 months, yA^H can only say "If your war problems ^B about which we know little ,are beli^^B solved like our domestic problem,? ' may God help us.' "First, you recall, there, was Mr, Ickes* famous shutdown of filling su. B tions at night which soon Unlet* out. Then came the first rationiatB plan with X cards floating arooN^H by the thousands, which disguitel? everybody. Now this latest rational plan, which jumped to the other a?B treme, causing untold hardships to * traveling men and many busl&en? firms in the east, while three-fourthi? of the nation will get all the gu KB wants. "If this present rationing plan lifl abandoned soon, after the tremendotf l cost of setting up the machinery to I run it, the reason will be political* and you will admit that is discourig-* ing in time of war. 'Where your treasure is, will your heart be also* said Mattbev.B and so our Congressmen, whose treu-fl ure comes from the votes of the pe?B pie, apparently Intend to take bsS chances. If these voters demand it, I this rationing will be stopped, at leut? until after election." From Washington comes the report* that the office of Price Admlniatlfc? tion on Saturday denied extra gaio-1 I line rations to salesmen, because a* the increasingly grave transporUtioi<? shortage In the east. The OPA hu ruled that there is not enough I gasoline In the rationed area to ilfl low salesmen more than a "B" ratioi? book in addition to their "A" boot J OPA also ordered a decrease o(? 2 1-2 cents per gallon for gasoline I effective last Wednesday. There wUB also a decrease of 9-10 of a cent to a | kerosene 1.1 cents for light heating B oils and 15 cents a barrel on residual? fuel oils. From Columbia comes the report? that the state OPA will make another? investigation of beer and soft drink? (Continued on next page) Let's Re-elect James M.
