After a short period of idleness, the
arrival of the new quota of surgical

most unusual and enjoyable, way. At
uoon, after the busiest of mornings,
ihe odor of delicious coffee permeated
headquarters and the white robed
lorpa invited the officers and other
workers in the building to enter their
domain. There a picnic iuuch was
spread on long tables in the front
room and sandwiches, cakes aud coffee
wore regaled and all weut back
to work for the rest of the aftornt^h,
making hundreds of the surgical dressings
so necessary for our boys "over
there" uud at home. There's self sacrifice
and efficiency for you.
On Wednesday, February 3, Mrs.
ileorge Creed made a trip to Charlotte
Thompson school at the invitation
of the ladles of that neighborhood
to inspect rooms in the school
building dedicated to Red Cross work,
..,) well fitted up for making surgical
dressings were those rooms that she,
ns chairman, bogau instructing the
I workers at once, and under tire supervision
of Mrs. Shell West, the rpoms
will be opened every Wednesday aflornoon.
Two thousand seven hundred
dressings were given this new
neighborhood organization us their
quota.
Camden will have to look to Its
laurels now that Bethune and Charlone
Thompson are competitors.

Dear John:
Our whole moss and furore about
youth delinquency looks like we are
getting the old cart before the horse.
We would come nearer making some
heudway if we did something about
our delinquent mamas and papas versus
their off-shoot. We get too many
I hot mamas and prancing papas. They
been stepping on the gus and turning
the youngsters over to be brought up
by some playground director or social i
thoorlts?some graduate in psychology
from some noted university. We are
now in our second generation of delinquents.
"What is your idea on llxlng every- j
thing?" say9 Henry. "1 am glad you
asked me," 1 says. "First, 1 would
give the police free rein. When they
pick up an obstreperous 16-year-old
and lock him or her up, they would
go right out and round up the gosling's
mama and papa and waltz them
into the same Jail. The whole family
could cool off together?and maybe
get acquainted. And in the second
place, I would have an open season,
year around, on psychologists, and
pay a nice bounty for evei) hide
brought In."
Yours with the low down,
Jo Serra.
Editor's Note: Joe, we can't quite
agree with you on bringing in the
hides of our oniinent psychologists,
but, we are interested in presenting
to our public every possible point of
view. There might be some logic in
a part of your argument. When wo
get them we will answer you in our
editorial columns, ^hanks for thinking
of us.

Non-Essential Calls Helps
Clear Lines for Vital War Calls
You bet it's pleasant to talk
with friends over the telephone,
just as it was pleasant to take
those long Sunday afternoon
rides when we had plenty of
tires and gasoline.
8ut social calls must be
handled over the same local
telephone facilities as war calls.
There is a definite limit to the
number of calls these facilities
can handle at the same time,
and when more calls are made,
some must wait.
With telephone equipment
already burdened with war calls,
non-essential calls may delay
necessary calls, so we are requesting
your voluntary cooperation
to reduce unneces,
sary calling.
Under normal conditions we
* wo^fd expand our facilities to
cfcre for the increased volume
of calls, but we cannot do that
now because the needed materials
>ere going into war
weapons.
So won't you help by making
fewer local calls? And when
you mutt make a call, won't
you please try to make it aa
short as possible?

I You can aid wartime bus service by planning
essential trips for February or March ?
instead of Mid-Summer
Never in history has it been so important to choose with
care the time and occasion for travel. Through the
years bus travel has always been very heavy in some
months, less- heavy in others ? and this has held true
even in wartime when the demands on transportation
are naturally increased. That's why Greyhound has
long urged everyone to travel during less crowded
periods?and February and March are just such times.
Essential trips taken in mid-winter will greatly relieve
overcrowding in the mid-summer months ahead.
