The situation In Africa regarding
the breach between General deGaulle
and General Girard Is a silly megs
A lot of us folks wouder why the
French do not rally to General deGaulle.
. The answer Is that the
"Fighting French," In London, the
deGaulle faction, seem to prefer to
fight with words rather than guns
in a battle. That explains why
France fell and why her leadership
I has been so weak. deGaulle wants
to be the big shot or nothing and
w hile he Is holding back, Girard is going
ahead and building up a great
French army In Africa. The sad part
of all this bickering Is that it ham
pers the work of the American and
British efforts to drive the Axis out
of Africa.
Sport Potpourri
BY THE SKIPPER
L ?>
Because the federal rationing board
has ruled that it is illegal to transport
high school athletes to and from
athletic contests, using vitally necessary
gas and tires, the Camden high
school basketball teams will not
likely schedule any outside-of-town
cage ^contests.
m
The Camden boys high team will
probably enter the city cage league,
which expects to start playing within
a week or so.
Well sport fans, you asked for It,
and boy! did you get It, and get It
right where It hurt mosL And not
only did you sport fans take it right
on the button, but you put millions
of citizens of this great republic under
a gas ban.
W fr
All this means Just one thing. The
news that 3D,000 cars were parked
in the vicinity of the Pasadena Ro6e
Bowl on New Year's day was the
clincher for the OPA to put the
screws on the unpatriotic motor car
drivers. Unfortunately other drivers
who have not violated the tenets of
the rationinf regulations, have to suffer
from the greed of these football
enthusiasts. That Hose Bowl crowd
with the 30.000 cars was the clincher.
No heebie-jeebie has to use any
gray matter to realize that all of the
90.000 people at the Rose Bowl game
came in cars. And the same thing
was true at all other games.
The irony of it is that the West
coast, where this carnival of pleasure
driving was staged, is not included
in the new restrictions, and it
does seem a little like kicking a dog
in the rumble seat when it was the
other end that bit you. However,
the theory probably is that only lack i
of opportunty prevented Easterners '
from a like demonstration of gas and
tire wasting, an inclination plainly [
demonstrated by the turf fans. j
t
[' Well, there is no more doubt now. j
I as the sports fans along the eastern:
Seaboard will realize as they prepare
for a snappy game of table tennis or
darts in their unheated game rooms.
The blame isn't on any one person,
as in the theory it would be just as
bad to have 10 pleasure cars parked
outside a movie or football bowl as
10,000. for what is fair for one is fair
for all.
But we still think poor Judgement!
has been shown by promoters of big 1
sports events in not discouraging motorized
attendance. After all. a gent
living in a glass house shouldn't encourage
his guests to bring their own
rocks.

Barringer Store
,, Kuverul hundred dollars In money
j urns stolen from the Barriuger liard<
ware slore shortly before midnight
Saturday by some one who broke
Into the store through a window at
the rear of the second story.
The burglary was discovered shortly
after midnight by a police officer,
who found the back door of the siorc
open when he was making his rounds
through the alleys in the business
district.
Inasmuch as only the money, placed
in a sack, was missing, the police

some one who was familiar with the
routine of the store.
So far the police have not reported
any clues as to the probable
criminal.
AGED FLINT HILL CITIZEN
DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS
8. W. liornsby, a life long resident
of the Flint Hill community and a
highly respected cltieen, passed away
at his home on the morning of December
15, 1942.
: Mr. Hornsby Buffered a stroke of
paralysis Ave years ago from which
he never fully recovered, but way
able to bo up and about the house
most of the time until the second of
November, 1942, when he suffered a
second stroke, after which he was
confined to his bed. He bore his affliction
without murmur or complaint
and was always cheerful. The In-i
splratlon of his Christian life has,
meant much to those among whom
he lived and all with whom he came
in contact.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs.
Anna Phillips Hornsby, and the following
children: Mrs. Henry Smyrl,
Mrs. Ed. Holland. Mrs. Byrone Drakeford,
all of Camden, and B. A. Hornsby,
of Washington, N. C.. and Ben P.

TbdVe are also eighteen grand children
and two great grand children
surviving.
The funeral was held at Flint Hill

I sing gasoline to attend Masonic
meetings and similar gatherings is
j included under the ban on pleasure
driving, according to an OCA ruling.
The matter Was taken up with the
rationing board in Columbia on the
grounds that Masonic meetings were
of a religious nature, opeuing and
closing with prayer.
O. Frank Hart, grand secretary of
Masons in this state and a member
of the Richland county rationing
board, disqualified himself foi* the
hearing, but other board members
ruled that driving to Masonic meetings
was permissible.
The Richland county board appealed
to the state board, which ruled
that gasoline could not be used for
attending Masonic meetings. Since
there was a disagreement between
the county and state boards, however,
the matter .was appealed to the regional
board, which ruled against
the county board, declaring cars
could not be UBed for this purpose.
It was also Stated at Columbia
that many people have gathered the
idea that any event which is projected
for the purpose of raising funds
for charitable purposes Is exempted
from the category of "pleasure" and
persons attending may use their cars.
The OI'A declares that there is no
exemption whatsoever, that persons
using their cars to reach the scene
of any event of this character are
risking their ration cards.
The OPA office pointed out that
soldiers, sailors and marines are permitted
to use their cars to pay calls
while on furlough or leave or had
passes from the post.
It is an interesting fact that many
people, who have been outstanding
In their desire to comply with the
new rules as to driving for pleasure,
resorted to the use of taxis to go
down town to attend the movies. According
to the local rationing board
official taxis have been instructed
not to transport people for pleasure
purposes. In other words, the use
of taxis to go to dances, parties, social
activities of any kind, is definitely
illegal.
The question has been frequently
asked if people who drive to the
business district for shopping pur. 9
poses, can do their shopping in an
afternoon, and while downtown at* :fl
tend the movies. The local ration- H
Ing board declares that such would
be perfectly legal. People may drivels1
down to shop, park their car, do' jH
their shopping and then attend a movie,
or they may attend the movi?
first and shop afterwards.

THREE CHEERS FOR YOU
from our men in uniform!
Zinc/ fZanZs /o you from (Zre/Zau/ter
? for helping get them ^
home for the Holidays!
Thank* to you, a most critical period in
wartime bus transportation has been
passed with flying color*!
Just before Christmas, Greyhound asked
you to "Give Your Christmas trips to
men in the service"?and you did! Because
you postponed such trips, thousand*
of men and women in the armed
forces were able to go home by bus for
Holiday leaves and furloughs. They
thank you for precious hours spent with
loved ones?Greyhound thanks you for
cooperating so willingly and voluntarily.
In helping service men make Holiday
trips home, you also maje travel
smoother and more convenient for war
workers and others whose trips could
not wait.
It is cooperation like this t'.ir.t ;r ..xcs it
possible for Greyhound and other bus
lines to carry on the tremendous masstransportation
job that is so essential to
winning the war.
To aid in this wartime task, Greyhound
for many months has asked travelers,
whenever possible, to plan their trips for
periods when buses are less crowded.
By accepting this and other practical
suggestions, you have helped to keep
America's transportation strong and
active in our nation's defense.
When transportation emergencies arise
in the future, Greyhound will keep you
informed of ways in which you may
help. In the meantime it is wise to plan
your trips for the uncrowded mid-week j
days, and to ask your Greyhound agent
for uii'ormauon, well in advance.

Such production is now vitally important to maintain^
