Mad news folks, especially you
who have lu the past enjoyed ellmb|
jUg into the family Jalopy on a hot
summer afternoon and evening and
moioring to the pond for a dip in the
cooling water. According to a radio
commentator in Washington, heard
over the air last Friday, the ban on
pleasure driving will not be lifted
this summer.
?* ?
Now that is real houeHt-to-goodness
discomforting news. Imagine those
long hot summer evenings with no
place to go unless you walk or ride a
hike or perhaps own a tyang tail and
H (-,rt Of course the people who
art. fortunate enough to own cottages
or shacks on a lake and transfer
their habitation there in the summer
months will not suffer from this ban
on pleasure driving. But there are
hundreds of others who will do some
tall cussing.
* .
However, wouldn't it be well to
think that those lads of the land,
sea and air armed forces, who are
fighting in the jyngles, on the hot
desert sands, have to bear a lot of
discomforts. So why should we bellyache
just because we have to stick
around the front'yard on summer af?
tertioons. We ought to thank God
we have a front yard, that we have
a roof over our heads. We'll bet
there are * millions of people who
fould gladly exchange lots with us.
* ?
We sort of tilt our lid to Georgia
or deciding to go on the old time
md discard the war-time saving time.
IVe haven't been able to figure cut
vhere anything has been gained by
he fantastic interference with the
saletidar. The fall, winter and spring
ion (lis have found us eating breakst
and going to work in the bleak
irk hours before dawn. In the sumer
the eveniugs have been long and
iffocating All schedules on feedK
and putting children to bed went
tywire. Yes sir, we think Georgia
is smart. '

ibbath musings: Noting that the
dscopal choir has become an all-.

? pew in front of me fuss with his
ist watch and finally draw a huge
:ketknife from his pocket and proid
to do some repair wor^ on said
tch. Wishing the janitor would

to the Thomas' Tavern where we
oyed a superb turkey dinner,
loting the cleanliness of <the Tav.

Noticing the scores of bike riders

Wondering what the police are going
to have to aay wheu aorne l^d
is killed In a collision between a
bike and an auto. There apparently
is no effort being made to enforce
the regulation requiring bike riders
to carry lights. For every one with
a light Saturday night, ton or more
were without.
lluve you noticed in the social notes
tiie mauy cocktail parties and dinner
events taking place. Does anyone
really believe every guest walked?

Hoses' to Lieut. Henry G. Garrison,
Jr. Not only did this plucky son of
Hanker Henry acquire himself an attractive
bride recently, but he also
crashed the gate as "Joker's Favorite,"
which translated meaus he was
a sort of favorite among the students
at Coker college. Seems ho received
the highest number of votes cast In
the contest sponsored by the Milestone,
a Coker yearbook. Lieutenant
Carrison's bride, who was formerly
' Miss Mary Alden Haynesworth, . of
I Hagood, was voted as the Boaqty
Queen. We are free to admit that
the voters - showed outstanding Judgment
in both selections.
* *
I Ha! Ha! Did any of you folks got
the socko last Monday when you got
your three gallons of gas, or perhaps
a quart or two qf voil, and after asking
the station agent to "just put it
on my account." Your said attendant
politely telling you to go jump in the
lake, that it was cash and carry from
now on.
For a fact folks, retail dealers of
petroleum products had no choice in
the matter for the reason that the
federal government edict which became
effective at 12.01 Monday morning
not only prohibited open account
credit for motorists but also put the
skids under the so-called "credit
card" system.
m
We have it from several tilling station
friends of ours that some of the
customers got real excited when they
found that they had to fork over for
their gas and oil, and some even got
a little irate about the matter. But
they couldn't do nothing about it?
at least the filling station lads couldn't
and so naturally Mr. Customer
couldn't either.
*
Well anyhow, the filling station
lads will not have to worry about
late or even dead accounts and Mr.
Customer who has been using a
credit card can turn said card over
to the museum or tear it to bits and
gently throw R to the winter breezes.
Best of good wishes and lots of
luck to Jimmy Furman Bisher, statet
editor of the Charlotte News, who
reported February 3, at Dartmouth
College where he enters training for
an ensignship in Air Combat Intelligence.
Furman has been a real
friend and booster for the local news
service and has given a lot of Bpace
to Camden news Items. He Is one
fine chap.

Oh yez! Almost forgot. Don came
In last Friday and after showing us
two coffee jars loaded with rat poison,
started out, stopped at the door, |
poked his head back in and mur-i
,mured, "Skipper, do you know that
an idle sleeping war stamp album is
a real war casualty?" To which we
echo, Amen.

Judging by the sco{?s of people
seen ?very -afternoon- and evening in
the Thomas Tavern, that bright spot
on DeKalb street has scored a big
htt with the public. Mrs. Thomas
Is kept busy looking after many
group events. The Kiwanis club .is
now holding Its weekly meetings
there and pronounce everything to be
one hundred per cent perfect.

Hy the way, we'll havo a nice story
to unfold very soon now. It may

visor for Farm Security Adminlstrutlon,
cooperating In the all out mobilisation
of farm effort. today called
>11 all Kerahuw county faruiera to
help bring idle land and farmers
ihort of land, together for all-out
liroduot ion. *
Mr. l)eLouche urged landlords with
I'ucnnt farms, largo farmers with
more acreage than they can work,
with present labor, and farmers without
enough hind for full scale pro-'
luetion, to register their needs at
Ihe county F8A office. ]
"We must bring land-power and
manpower together," Mr. DoLoucho
warned. "Every acre not working
Tor food production will be working
for the Axis in 1943."
"Right here in Kershaw county,"
Mr. PeLoache said, "there are plenty
of s in a 11 farmers who can work additional
acreage. At the samo time
there are some operators forced to
reduce production because of labor
tuid machinery shortages. Wo want
to bring the two together."
Farmers and landlords can secure
assistance in working out leases and
farm plans through the County War
Board or the FSA office, Mr. I)oLoache?t??4d.
He added that War
loans for the purchase of equipment,
livestock, and other operating goods
are available through tho FSA and
