Chamber Reports
On Gas and Tires
The Camden Chamber of Commerce
ban received many questions relative
to gasoline rationing and also pertainliiK
to recapping of tiles.
In order to get luformatoln which
would permit of a Mliiiplllled form of
I reply to the questions asked the
Chamber was able to get a fuvorable
response from the War I line Information
IJnrenu of the Carolina Motor
Club, an organization with which the
Chamber of Commerce has been uf111
la ted for the past sjx years.
One of the quoHtions propounded
| involves the so-called mileage ra?loning
In as much as this Involves
ihe rationing of gas and tlreH based
on a 25-mlle speed limit and periodic
tire inspection motorists are to bo
given tires and recaps to maintain
the mileage alloted under gasoline
rat Inning.
The broad objective of the mileage
rationing plan Is to keep the country's
twenty-seven million passenger
cars rolling for essential tnlleuge with
a minimum use of rubber.
The principal features of the plan
so far as it affeets Individual car
owners are as follows:
All ear owners will he given tires
or recaps to enable them to-maintain
their allotted mileage under the gasoline
rationing plan. The quality of
the tires under rationing will ho In
accord with the total mileage approved
and the individual requirements
of the car owner.
All car owners will he required to
sell to the government all passenger
tires?+tt?excess- of those maintained
on running wheels, plus one spare
per vehicle. All other persons, except
dealers, manufacturers and gov rniuent
agencies will also he required
to sell their excess passenger typo
tires to the government.
All passenger car vehicles must be
inspected for tire conservation at
specified intervals, every four months
for A book holders and every two
months for holders of It and C. books.
All vehicle speeds were reduced to
thirty-live miles per hour effective on
October 1.
A question frequently asked is: "if
I sell my car what do I do with my
ration book?" The answer is ''turn
the hook in to the local ration hoard.''
If a person changes cars he must
turn his old hook in to the hoard
[which Issued the ration within live
days alter the trade js made. A mo;
torist can not buy gasoline for one

Revised Program
For Winter Sports
(Continued from first page)
to the Junior Welfare League that
a gymkhana would offer an excel-'
lent opportunity for the League to
raise a neat sum with which to carry
out their charitable efforts.
In view of the fact that citizens In
general, as well as the winter visitors,
will have the use of their motor
cars confined to the most limited of
riding, there should he an excellent
opportunity for the revival of the
I'lavinakers (Juild. The Bureau believes
that two stage offering^ by this
group would add materially to the
winter program.
The activities of the Camden Hunt
will again be in evidence and there
is every reason to believe that the
horse shows and hunter tritils will
grace the lule winter schedule. Skeel
enthusiasts will Mm! the larget range
in top condition while the many
miles of scenic trails will offer fascinating
fiestas to the devotees of the
saddle.
With so many of the mid-south
hotels being taken over by the army
it is believed Camden will be the
tnecca of a large number of golf enthusiasts.
The Camden Country Club
which now operates the KIrkwood
course can boast of having one of the
finest golf layouts, not only In the
mid-south, hut in the entire southern
area. The efforts that have been put
forth In the last two years in the rebuilding
o( the famous KIrkwood
course has attained a peak of playing
perfection of fairways and greens.
This statement Is based upon the exacting
golfers who have played on
the course In the past several weeks.
All credit for the splendid greens and
fairways Is due to Henry CI. Carrison,
president of the Camden Country
Club and W. L. Goodale, chairman of
the greens committee. These officials
were given splendid cooperation
hv the committee and club members.

Oh Joy! Peanuts
Are Back Again
Hark ye, thou peanut lovers. The
luscious goobers, so scarce tor the
pa?i several months, causing untold
anguish to baseball and football fans,
are beginning to forge to the front of,
the national food perspective.
There was real music on the main
drag tiie past several days as our
shoes caressed the peanut shucks
that covered the cement at various
points near to whistling roasters.
The crackle of the shells underfoot
was Just as sweet to the ear as the
crackle of frost at Chlrstmas tide to
the youth.
Oscar Sniyrl, Camden's soft-drink
bottler and peanut vender. Is authority
for the statement that fresh roasted
goobers will be on the menu at
the Camden * Carlisle football game
tonight.
Ami so the faces of American s
football enthusiasts, gloomy for
weekB, yes, months, will lie shining
with the Joy of again smelling the
appetizing aroma of roasting peanuts.
And those molars who delight In
cinching the luscious kernels will rise
and fall to the musical cadence of
"Oh Hoy, Hot Peanuts."
Mr. Sniyrl declares that his roasting
machine at . his South llroad
street plant began roasting i/perations
this week after being idle for
three months?it seems years to the
peanut fans. The 1042 fall crop is
beginning to appear on the market
now and Mr. Smyrl declares the peanut
of this war year is a grand fellow.
So you peanut fans, when you walk
down the main drag, you can smile
again as your feel crush the shells
of empty goobers. It's peanut time
again.
Wood For Heating
Is Being Favored
. ?
Wood products are being substituted
more and more for materials that
are even scarcer than wood. Wood
is being substituted for aluminum In
the construction of some of our noncombat
aircraft, thereby releasing
large quantities of this critically
scarce material ror construction of
combat planes. Wood products are
being used In a variety of other ways
is substitutes for metal. Manufacturers
are even making wooden wash
boards to conserve the metal formerly
used In the making of these wash
boards.
Landowners should take advantage
of thjs opportunity to use their
crooked, dead, diseased, or otherwise
defective trees for fuel wood. Fuel
oil is rationed, transportation difficulties
may hinder the distribution
of coal. This is a good opportunity
for landowners to grenlly improve i
the quality of their woodlands and at
the same tjme get some cash income
during the winter months. The using
of wOod for fuel will help in our
war effort by relieving the already
overloaded transportation facilities'
which would otherwise have to carry
coal and fuel oil long distances to
meet our heating needs. We can
conserve some of this cargo space jf
the landowners, tenants, farmers and
sharecroppers will cut more wood
for fuel this winter.
Cut only the undesirable trees for
fuel wood. Leave the straight
healthy trees of good species to grow
Into more valuable products.
The services of the State Forest
Service and Clemson College Extension
Service are available throughthe
County agent and the District
Forester located at Camden, S. C., to
assist landowners In the management
of their woodlands.
Livestock Guides
For Late Fall
For the proper care of livestock in
the late fall for better farming. W.
(\ McCnrley. county agent, calls attention
of county farmers to these
reminders:
Animal Husbandry?Breed sows for
spring litters. Have all weanling
-pigs double-treated Tor?ehokira-,?To
prevent the beef herd losing the
weight gained on pasture, supply
cheap roughage and little cottonseed
meal. Fatten a beef animal to be
slaughtered later for home use. Remove
the ram from the ewe flock.
Feed idle mules ample roughage and
give only half ration of concentrates.
See that all livestock have shelter
and bedding during cold rainy weather.
Dairying ? Increase the barn feed
as pastures are killed by frost. Let
the cows clean up the corn and hay
Melds after these crops have been
gathered. Provide warm, dry, clean
stalls for fall-horn calves. Use a
carefully selected purebred dairy bull
from proven high-producing ancestry.
Use November spare time remodeling
barns, putting in concrete
floors and other Improvements. Cull
the low producers and feed the rest
according to each cow's production.
Poultry?Select the best hens for
next year's breeders. Keep layers
in good Mesh hv feeding grain liberally.
Keep all-night or morning lights
on the laying flocks. If olectrjcity
Is not available, use kerosene lanterns.

Fays Tribute To
Aged Woman
(Contributed >
Many Camden people, both white
and colored, will learn with sorrow of
the death of Laura Drakeford, highly
respected negro woman, which occurred
on the last day of October.
Aunt Laura, or "Mammy." as ahe
was affectionately called around here,
haa served in some capacity In , the
Tranthain family most of her life,
and for the past twenty-three years
has had her home with those now
residing here, and where her loss is
keenly felt.
Her mother belonged to l)r. John
I. Tranthain of the Flat Hock community,
and though Laura was born
"this side or slavery," It was a matter
of great pride with her that the
doctor bad told more than one person
that if slavery still existed when
she was^M enough to work, that he
would refused a thousand dollars
for^Ru*. She was industrious
and independent, seldom felt tired,
and was never ill until the last yeai
or two of her life. She had a strain
of Indain. blood in her veins, her
grandfather being one they called,
according to her, "Old Flanders."
This may have added to her habits
of stoicism and sense of pride for her
wants were very few, and her way
of life simple. She had a stern sense
of right and wrong, and felt it her
duty to try and instill her Ideas of
gent''liiv into the young people she
helped "raise." She had a host of
young friends among the while peo%.
pie, who gave her I lie respect she
deserved. She was atraid of nothing,
but 's'tood in fear of the Lord." She
had gotten religion about thirty-eight
years ago. and when shy was ill sent ?
messages to those she knew wore
concerned. Ii was always the same
message. "Don't worry about me, I'm
in the hands of the Lord."
Laura Drakeford was born March
1, seventyniue years ago not many
miles from where she lived and
where she died. She leaves one
daughter, six grand-children and fifteen
great-graml-chlldren to grieve
for her. besides many neighbors and
frien,ds and the family she has served
with such devotion.
She was of the finest integrity,
pure in heart and mind, staunch and
loyal, of a noble character that would
he outstanding in any race, color or
creed. In a world where there is so
much of tumult and uncertainty she
stood like a rock, secure in the faith
in God thai those of her race know
so wNjII how to enjoy. To such even
a war fhai^shakes the universe is just
one of the Tribulations that must be
borne on the u*yy to a serene and
great Eternity. This b< a small tribute
from those she served so faithfully--who
consider her not so much
a good servant as a gentle teacher
a dear friend. |

For *5~yenTri Gerteral Electric has developed and buitt-?t?ctTiirequipment
for worships. Here ore a few of the ways in which electricity
serves the Navy.
I. Just one battleship may have
electric Renerators to produce as
much as 180,000 kilowatts. This
power would supply the needs of a
city of 375,000.
3. More than 20 different operations
are performed in bringing a
naval gun to bear on its target.
Electricity helps to co-ordinate
these operations.
1. Searchlights produce millions
of candlepower of light to aid in
detecting enemy ships and planes,
and to guide Navy gunners to their
targets.
4. When o battleship goes into
action, electricity helps direct the
ship, operate the guns, and give the
orders. G.E. is building equipment
to do these jobs.
General Electric believes that It* first duty as a
good citizen ?s to be a good soldier.

From where I sit...
//Joe Marsh;
cj
1 MISSED getting my hair cut this
morning on account of the scrap
collection.
When I climbed into the barber
chair, Ray says to me:
"Sorry, Joe. Ain't got time for
you today. We're closing up this
morning at ten."
And then I remembered. This
was the day the town had agreed
to drop everything ? and I mean
prcrything ? and collect scrap for
Uncle Sam.
Yes sir. the drugstore, the corner
garage, Sam Abernethy's general
store ? every place in town
except the post office ? closed up
tigh#today from 10 to 5.
*
And you ought to see the result
piled up in front of the fire house.
One hundred and fifty tons of
metal that had been lying around ~
in attics, cellars and back yards
of our town since Charlie Jenkin*'
great-grandfather Joined up with
the Texas Rangers.
That's almost 200 lbs. of metal
for every man, woman and child in
our town. Just shows you ? when
American citizens go out to do a
job for Uncle Sam they do It right.
Judge Cunningham and I were
talking about it this evening, sitting
on the front porch arid having
a sociable beer together. j
We agreed that the way this
town went all out to collect scrap
waa a pretty good illustration of
how Democracy works. No need to
crack a whip ... no need to pass a
law . . . jU8t self-determined folks *
working hand in hand to get a job
done for their own people.
_
,
Because from where I sit, that's
what we're fighting for?the right
to work together?of our own accord.
Tot do the job because we
want to,' not because somebody ;
tells us to. And when the job's
done, to relax as we see fit. 4
Ami ti^e.Judge agreed. He pointed
out thWt one of the things that
helps fotfck get together is iust j
what we were doin'now. 3
It's great, after a good day'?
work, to be able to have a chat and
a glass of book- if you want ta
