There Is ono thing which persons wh0 feel no other inhibition against trafficking in the "black market" In meat might do well to remember. I Meatleggera," like the bootloggere of another day who trafficked In all I sorts of bath tub 0ln and "rat poison" liquor, have no scruples again* sellin0 diseased animal carcaaaea or anyI thing else that can pass as meat. The i,legal buyer has neither protection or recourse. Now that point-rationing has become effective, housemaids who have ,liUl experience In certified accounting, will probably be In great demand. Has It ever struck you as being I rather peculiar that Individuals who I fl0 on hunger strikes seldom die of I hunger? * One way to save your shoes these I days Is to quit kicking. The average newspaper Is more I than Willing to co-operate with the I government, but It sure makes the editors mad to have to receive orders from federally-paid employes who would make good chorus directors. * The driver of a taxi cab in Mil waukee who was in a hurry and sped I along at BO miles per hour, was nabI bed by a squad car and fined $10, had I his ration card confiscated and also lost his driving license. Several reslI dents on Mill street and also on Broad I Btreet here In Camden would like to I Bee that kind of enforcement carried I out by the local police. A private in the army writes to the I home folks at Park Ridge, 111., divulgI es the following "definite" informa tiou: "There isn't very much that I can Bay in letters, but . . . after leaving H where we were we left for here and I not knowing we were coming from I there to here, we couldn't tell If we I would arrive here, but nevertheless I we are now here and not there. The I weather here is Just as it Is at this season, but quite unlike the weather I where we were before we came here. I After leaving by what we left by, we had a good trip. The land and water I are just like they would be here and not anything like they are there. The people here are just like they look, I but they don't look to be like they I are where we came from." II Sport Potpourri ! BY THE SKIPPER } Sport fans are urged to attend the cage game this evening In the high I tchool gymnasium between the High I quintet and the flashy outfit from the I Instructors unit of the flying post. ? * Theso teams will face 'each other with both boaating unbroken records I to date. Upon the result of the game will depend a clear slate for one of the teams. i Those Illinois whlzx kids, the fastest college cage team In the nation are winners In the Big Ten conference I and there Is no other varsity outfit In the little old U. 8. A. that will dls pute their national supremacy. * * Tit at brilliant team from Tennessee, which won the Southeastern conferHence title by defeating Kentucky, was sparked by a six foot five inch bean Pole from Wheeling, West Virginia, by the name of Dick Meben. In the naming of a 1943 8outheast ew Conference All-Sta* outfit the port writers from the various cltlee in the loop named two lads from In dlana who wore merrlbera of the Kan* tucky team.. Mehen of Tennasaaa, who halls from another Yank state, was also put on the team and ths ether two were from Louisiana and Tennessee, respectively.

The only vehicle, If It can be styled as such, was the motorcycle ridden by Chief of Police Alva Hush, who acted as a traffic officer during the period of the parade, Another Interesting feature was the appearance of the colored unit In the march. Members of the Kershuw chapter of the lted Cross, city officials and the publicity workers of the war fund drive are giving words of praise for the manner In which Mrs. Leon (Trixle) ScholoBburg has carried on In the advance preparations for the fu*td drlte. Mrs. Schloaburg, who la chairman of the drive, has been work* lng morning, afternoon and evening, traveling to all points of the city and oounty for weeks In building up her offensive for thia all-important event She also handled all details Incident to the parade. And In between times, this energetic and alert young lady, managed to do a lot of helping at the rationing board at the Pine Tree schools. In oonnectlon with the parade last week and the opening of the war fund drive thjq wpcdL.pmpk oommendation * has**'been* accorded the fine display featuring Red Cross activities, which grace the windows of many Camden stores. The Red Cross appreciates the cooperation given by the merchants in the loan pf their windows. The displays are most unique and were designed and installed by the Red Cross workers. i " t Roses and j Thorns Right off the reel Don blows In to win the week's award of the plushlined bath tub. ^ t>oh opines that a real diplomat la the man who can make his wife believe a $50 drees makes her look stoat. - Ladies in slacks Should see their backs And then "Oh Nerts!" Go back to skirts. * ? But for a fact, friends and fellow (criminals, there are sOme gals who lodk mighty all-fired cute in britches ?and then again?some of them look like a caboose on a Seaboard train. I read In a paper the other day that a naturalist claims the polar bear as I nature's best winter coat. I might add that the moths have mine. Have you read of the sweet young thing who went into the Kirkwood stables and asked for a saddle hoss. She was asked what kind of a saddle she wanted?one with a horn or without, whereupon the sweet young thing said, "Without, I guess. There doesn't seem to be much traffic on the paths today." * Mrs. Marie Tindal dropped In the office a few days ago to discuss Victory. Gardens. I forgot to ask her one thing and that is how to distinguish garden plants from weeds. I remember asking Scotty that one day and he said: "The only sure way is to pull them out. If they come up again, they're weeds. * I got a real chuckle out of a remark a guy in the Camden theater made the other night. Sez he: "The fellow who has his ups and downs is' the one who always sits in an aisle*'seat at the movies." And tn addition the (ami guy la the one who has Coca-Cola spilled over him by thlraty brata who ought to kpow better. / * ? ? You, dear reuder, someday Camden will replace the garbage cans along the business streets with trash cans. ? That there Is a far greater degree of pleasuro driving regulation In New York and other large metropolitan areas than In Camden was the statement of a New Yorker who is down here for a stay of several weeks. /'I was amazed at the great number of cars I saw In the Camden downtown J area Tuesday afternoon," ho stated.! "You would not see anything like that In New York. The authorities aro really asking questions of motorists up that way." Wo'want to remind tho Now Yorker that up in Gotham they have Inuiaes. street cars and the aubway to travel on. Camden does not have any transportation conveniences outside of private cars. r. ^ Our Onion Column | Is ? Failure of the high school band to appear in the Red Cross parade last Friday excited no end of comment Citizens who attended the fooball games last fall recall tho smart musical organization that took the field between halves of the games and drew rounds of applause for their smart marching and fine play. Unquestionably there are extenuating circumstances to account for the non-appearance of the baxid in such an outstanding event as the Red Cross War Fund parade. Just where the fault rests we do not know. But we do feel that Camden Bhould have a band* available for any civic parade at any time. And particularly In times like this when every known means to arouse public enthusiasm should be utilized. * We know that Supt. J. G. Richards of the public schools is in favor of having the band in readiness at times such as last Friday. We also realize that there should be sufficient notice given by organizations wishing to use the band. * * ? Your ''Onion" editor hopes that the band situation will be checked and that the schools put some pep and ginger Into having a high school band ?just like other towns about the state have. * * And while dlkcussing the parade did anyone of you spectators notice that there was not an American flag in Evidence. Whose fault was that? Imagine It fellow Americans?a war relief fund parade?and no American flag carried in it. Merchants' Corner New Dlm-Out Regulations New Dim-Out regulations were put into effect in this area February 17, by the order of Lt. General Hugh A. Drum, commanding general- of the Eastern Defense command. Among the requirements of this new order is a regulation that all lights left burn-1 lng in a store or display window must ( bo attended. In other words some gggc3EK.i l,u 11 ii eggBSBg^gaaa??n definite person must be designated to turn out any lights In your business house lu case of an air raid within five minutes after the first aiariu. There Is a heavy fine that can be placed on anyone not complying with these regulations so that It Is essential that you make arrangements about your lights in this connection. ' ir all of you have outside switches as was ordered some time ago it might be that some arrangements could bo! made to have one certain territory covered by someone appointed by the merchants of that section. Conversion Parts Dealers of coal stoves, parts, etc., are urged to continue to sell people on the idea of converting to coal heat. Fuel oil Is still short and will probably be even 'shorter next-year, and so If you can get people to convert during the summer, It will be a big help in solving this shortage. OPA has allowed higher prices on the various parts for conversion so that it will be a money inukUiK proposition for the retail stores. The conversion parts are any metal parts needed to convert an oil burning furnace Into a coal burning one. Ration Banking In a move designed to keep the new ration banking plan on a solid footing, OPA has urgod that the smaller retail stores not open ration banking accounts. The order that went into effect January 27 said that thoso stores that sold less than $6,000 in December don't have to open these accounts and those are the ones that the OPA is asking not to do so at this time. War Manpower As you know the government has been saying a great deal lately about the War Manpower problem. Since the order came out doing away with the deferment for dependents and placing the military deferment on the basis of essential occupation* there has been a flood of job changing. However, only 82 types of occupations have been declared pon-essential businesses so that everybody working on jobs other than 32 are classed as being In essential occupations. There is no need for anyone to shift from his Job until It has been declared nonessential. Therefore, it would be a good Idea If your business is not Included dn the list below to explain to your employees that nothing would be gained by a change at this time. The non-deferable occupations are: Wholesale and Retail Trade: Antiques, beer, wine and Uauortbcustom tailors and furriers, candy, confectionery and nuts, florists, Jewelry, novelties and tobacco. , Services: Automobile rental service, dance, music, theatrical and art studios and school, gambling. Interior decorating, night clubs, parking lots, photographic studios, turklsh baths, massage parlors, clothing rental, poster service and social escort services. Other Occupations: All the following occupations are non-deferable, re[ gardless of the activity in which they may be found: bar cashiers, bar boys, bartenders, bathhouse attendants, beauty operators, bell boys, bootblacks, busboys, butlers, charmen and cleaners, cosmeticians, custom tallers, custom furriers, dancing teachers, dish washers and doormen and starters. The only one under manufacturing affecting any member of the associar tlon was: Signs and advertising displays. State Theatre I Kershaw, S.
