More Troops Arrive Safely In Britain London Sept. is. - Thousands of ! American troops arrived in Hrttain recently to swell the ranks of the rapidly expanding I'nited States army in this country waiting for the opening of ii second front. I While they have hecn whisked away to camps already, announcement of j their arrival was not permitted until today. j They came In a typical convoy of i great ships, which wore well known! ! passenger liners in peacetime, end j disembarked Jit a nutnffnr of Mritish ! ports. The crossing of the Atlantic was | made swiftly and not a single (Jorinan j submarine was sighted, it was reported. Special trains waiting at the docks' t ushed the Americans and their sup-i plies away from the busy ports where j bombing danger is greatest. They j were taken to prepared camps in the quiet. Mritish countryside. The arrivals consisted mainly of lighting men and anti-aircraft and transport units. There were also hundreds of army technical experts and some Army Air Force personnel. I Hoys May Soon Face Army (-alls Major General Howls B. Herahey. select i v e service director, Tuesday iold a 1 loune committee lu Washington, that unlesa the nation starts drafting IX and 1U year olds "very soon," It will be necessary to Induct between 1.000,000 tuul 1,500,000 married men within t lie next few month*. Major General Hershey, who was testifying before the defense migration committee, also said that the demands for the swiftly expanding army for a steady flow of new manpower necessitated inducting men suffering from venereal diseases. "We are rapidly going to the place where what a man can do for his country, that is oecupationally, must transcend other things," ho asserted. It is upon that point tho House committee now is concentrating?how best to budget tho nation's manpower to meet tho requirements of the services and of essential industry and agricultural production, and whether a national service act to regulate that supply is necessary. Hershey emphasized that tho national headquarttxrS of the selective service system ''recognizes that this war cannot be won by placing every man in the armed forces, but that a proper balance must be maintained as between the fighting man on tho one hand and material, including food for them and the civilian population on the other hand." He indicated that the size of the army by the year's end would exceed i,500.Out) strength announced by General George Marshall, chief of staff, in June, as this year's goal. Women Needed In War Work Washington is emphasizing the urgent need of women to take the places of men in the National Defense Industry. Navy yards, airplane factories and the like are employing women in increasing numbers. hi order to help in training young women for such service the National Youth Administration has opened a number of its training centers to i ihem. One of the dormitories at ("amp Mat-Arthur, at Florence, S. C., is being assigned to young women, ages IT through 24, where they are gi\eii free board, and training in ma- j thine operation, welding and sheetmet al work. The National Youth Administration office at the court house In Camden is open from 11 a. m. to 1 p. m. on Fridays so that applications can he taken from young women and men who have been referred to NYA by the U. S. Employment Service for such training. I ANNOUNCING r% HHri j? IWJi f We Are Offering A | Cash and Carry Service '/ K9 ' i Eg I at 20 per Discount 1 I j !

I |j t The Ta#k Ahead Washington, Sept. 21.- Many importune decisions, perhaps the most vital decisions In our country's history, race the United States Congress In the next few years. Decisions of a strictly military nature will, of course, be made by the Commander-in-Chief of our forces and by the military and naval leaders. Hut many domestic problems must be met by tile Congress if wo are to give our best effort to the war and maintain our unity and at the same time keep a firm grasp upon 'our Domestic principles, l'eace will bring new and grouter problems, the solving of which will shape the destiny of our children s lives in a new world. Economics War spending has gone over the five billion dollar a month mark, establishing an all-time record. And in a period when such vast sums must be spent for military purposes, it is easy to lose sight of the economies being effected in non defense functions of the government. A total of over a billion and a half dollars has been saved by cutting appropriations which did not strictly contribute to the winning of the war. The major cuts, in round figures, follow: Kxecutive office, 114 million; Woiks Projects Administration, 595 million; National Youth Administration. 84 million; Civilian Conservation Corps, 247 million; public roads, 50 million; public buildings, 114 million; Depart-] ment of Agriculture. Gil million; T.J V. A., GO million; Veterans Administration. 10 million; State Department, four million; Treasury Department. .11 million. Selective Service A good deal of confusion has existed recently on the subject of draft calls, and a congressional committee now is studying the problem to get a clearer picture of the program. The changing war situation, revised estimates of needed men, and the independent decisions by the nation's 25.000 local Selective Service Hoards have made it difficult to peep the people Informed as to draft moves. The army is beginning t<5 take a good many more men than most people realize, and for every man now in service there probably will be another in the next 18 months or so. Spending It has been estimated that the peoI pie of the United States will have about $125,000,00,000 to spend In 1943 after they have paid their taxes. But there will bo only about $67,000,000,000 worth of goods and services which can he bought, according to present expectations. This is the reason why inflation controls must continue and become even more stringent. Employment Total employment in the nation reached a record high of 57.200,000 (including those in the armed services) during the month of July, 1942, the National Industrial Conference Board announced. This figure is 3.6MO.000 above the figure for July of 1911 and nearly 10.000.000,000 above i that for the corresponding month of; 1940. Prisoners of War Unfortunately it is impossible for; families to send mail to soldiers believed to he prisoners of war until < ertain definite steps have been taken The first step is official idontifica tion by the enemy of the individual who is being held prisoner. The en-' etny, through established channels, then informs tho United States. As ' soon as the United States is notified bv the enemy that a certain prisoner of war or civilian is interned, the next of kin is officially Informed and the proper instructions together with the mailing address are furnished without delay. Shipping I The in.por'anee of shipping in winning t!i. w,,r is more apparent when we consider how much space is involved in -.applying men abroad. The Army Quartermaster Corps estimates hat it rakes ten and a half shipping tons to take one American collier to Britain and a ton and a half i month to maintain him there. Foodtuffs alone weigh around 200 pounds >er soldier pep month. m Four Enlist In Naval Service 11 wan announced, by Navy Recruiters . who are located in (be po?1 offkH. here each Friday, that four Camden men accompanied thept back to Columbia for onllHtmout "?<J trainsfur They arc: Law ton Mel v In Trueadale and Lloyd Richard Trueadale. twin hroihers. sons of Mr. and Mra.

There are many ratings available to qualified ;nen between the ages of 17 and f?U. Those who are Interested in what the Navy has to offer should contact the recruiters here on Fridays or see Sam Karesh here any day they desire. Start Cutting Stalks Now Stalk chopping and stubble ripping remove food of the boll weevils, thus forcing them to go into winter in a starved condition. Moreover, merely chopping the stalks will prevent further breeding of weevils. Chopping cotton stalks has already begun in sections where picking is now being completed. Every day counts, and as soon as the crop can be harvested, stalk choping should begin on every farm in the county, says W. C. Mc Car ley, county agent. PLANT GRAZING CROPS FOR WINTER. SPRING Clemson. Sept. If. ? The cost of milk production ' has been lowered as much as six cents per gallon by taking full advantage of grazing crops, according to carefully controlled nvords on' farms in this state, says C. (J. Cushman.. dairy specialist of the Clemson Extension Service. As a result, South Carolina farmers are rapidly adopting the profitable practic' of an annual grazing crop system. The planting of grazing crops that cows can harvest themselves is very important under present conditions, Mr. Cushman continues. Such planting will save the farmer the expense of harvesting and will relieve the necessity of using stored feeds for cows. The fall planting season is here. Winter and spring grazing crops should be seeded in the next 30 days. On heavier, more fertile lands, seed 2 bushels of barley, 2 bushels of oats, and lf> pounds of vetch or 20 pounds of crimson clover per acre. One-half acre of this grazing, on good land, is sufficient for each mature c">w. Fertilize liberally with complete fertilizer or with a heavy application of harnvard manure. On lighter and more sandy lands, substitute 2 bushels of rye for bar- . lev with vetch, but not with ciimson clover. This seeding will furnish a moderate amount of grazing in December, January and February., and heavy grazing in March, April and the first half of May. , Seed the same acreage next summer with 4u pounds of l'earl millet or Sudan grass per acre. A planting system of this kind, supplemented by an improved permanent pasture, should furnish 30 per cent of the entire f?-ed program tor the cow during the year. Additional properly cured legume hays, silage or a mixture of both, will increase this to 70 per cent of the total needed by producing cattle through the year. Children's Home Buys The Blackmon Resident (Continued from first page) Home, a prominent resident of U dianapolls, whose own home wti brightened by the acquisition of t little child taken from the Camdei Home, sent a check for $250 to bi expended for Home purposes, an< this was utilized in purchasing sow of the necessary items. Mrs. Mayfleld states that there ii need of more blankets and also wars clothing for the children. Quite number of friends of the Home ban given generously toward outflttlaf the place. Others who desire to co? tribute blankets or other things maj do so by getting in touch with Mn Mayfleld. One of the interesting features ? the fire on September 10, was the ge? erous aid given by the people resH ing in the vicinity of the Home. Al opened their homes to the little chll dren, taking them in and caring id them as if they were their own.
