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.

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.

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

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

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
