The officer who wus questioning him said "How- about Mo?" and the pappy of four aald "Eliza and me ain't goln' to have no mo." * By the way, there were some forty fine fellows gathered around the banquet table at the Klrkwood Sunday evening, March 7, the affair being a get-to-gether after an afternoon of tournament play. Everyone present cast a big fat vote of approval for the fine menu and the brand of service offered by the Klrkwood. It was a fine affair, with good eats and a service that was par.excellence. * * Wo do not want to appear to be leaning over backwards In our admiration of tho present Klrkwood administration, but this corner has observed Borne years of Klrkwood operation prior tQ 1913 and we want to go on record as saying that there is no comparison with the administrations of Messrs Hall jand Smith with that of the Ocean Hotel company und particularly the fine fellow, Mr. L.

Illustrated here is a typical case which helps build those monthly totals. The truck was struck by a passenger train at a crossing protected by flashing light signals, which were functioning. The truck was thrown clear of the tracks, striking and breaking a telegraph pole and an electric power control box. Although the truck driver had defective hearing, he was familiar with the crossing. The engine was damaged and It was necessary to cut out one Pullman car due to flat wheels. The National Safety Council la conducting a special campaign to atop these accidents, which every duy delay 38 trains a total of 22 hours?a big blow to the nation's war transportation effort. Driver carelessnoss Is the cause of almost all these accidents, according to the Council. To help win the war?to save yourself and others needless suffering ? the Council asks you to be sure tho track Is clear before starting to cross. Dog Pound Boasts Of Ten Bow-Wows Following ft report that the new dog ordlnanx;e was not functioning, a check showed that the provisions of the measure are being carried out by the police. A news writer who visited the new dog pound last Saturday found ten bow wows awaiting claimants or doom. The elimination of stray dogs from the streets of Camden is something that cannot be accomplished in a day, a week or a month, it is claimed. The police force is limited in size and the officers cannot cover the city like a blanket. It was pointed out that the public can cooperate in the carrying out of the regulations of the new ordinance by reporting all cases of suspected strays to the police headquarters. The department is prepared at all times to check every complaint. Vhe Camden ordinance has been made a model for proposed new dog laws In a number of obher communities In the state and In North Carolina. Some of the dogs picked up by the police and placed in the pound were later called for by owners, who paid the prescribed fee and effected the release of their pets. Dogs not called for are kept for a prescribed period and then eliminated. 186 County Farmers Receive Adm. Aid One hundred and eighty-six farmers of Kershaw County, aided by the Farm Security Administration and pledged to all out production of essential foods, livestock and poultry, are making excellent progress, according to 13. P. PoLoache, FSA County Supervisor. ''They are getting the seeds into the ground but most encouraging however. is the fino manner in which the families are cooperating with one another," Mr. DeLoache said. A four point program of neighborly aid is being observed as follows: 1. Share equipment and join with neighbors in buying needed equipment so all can use it. 2 I/end a hand to neighbors when the hand is needed. 3. (live each other news of tnarkets and of opportunities to haul items th town or from town for each other, thereby firming the extra trip. ^~"4\ -Exchange labor for sowing*, harvesting. marketing^ building, clearing or other jobs of emergency nature. The families ttfid this neighborly cooperation is not only pteasant but a matter of good business as it means mare economical production and marketing. 1 A TALE OF | two pickLes j!

The Council called attention to a growing loll of grade crossing accidents that Is accompanyIng the tremendous wartime Increase In rail traffic a toll that is seriously delaying transportation of vital war material. The Council, therefore. Is conducting a campaign to reduce these accidents. which every day delay an average of 38 t ruins a totul of 22 hours. The reduction of grade crossing accidents," said Col. John Stllxvcll, president of the Council. "Is a major part of our campaign to 'Save Manpower for YVarpower' now being con ducted at the request of President Roosevelt." "Such accidents," said Colonel Sillwell, "are Increasing at an alarming rate, and the resulting waste of vital material and the delays in transporting troops and supplies are hindering the war effort." The Councils campaign has been strongly endorsed by Joseph 11. East man, director of the Office of Defense Transportation. * "Grade crossing accidents, always regrettable for t|\o lives thoy take and the injuries tfooy Inflict, are to he par. Ocularly deplored at this time." said Mr. lCust mun. "They waste manpower needed for the war effort. They la tcrfere with scheduled traffic mi^vaincuts and delay troop trains or trains carrying war materials. And the.i sometimes cause the destruction or damage railroad material and equipment that is now largely irreplaceable. "Since grade crossing accidents, In all these ways, are detrimental to the war effort, no pains must bo spared to reduce them to the lowest possible minimum. If every motorist will make it his individual responsibility to exercise the utmost caution, he not only will he protecting himself. but will bo doing his part toward conserving manpower, preventing transportation delays, and conserving transportation equipment." In the past year, the Council said. 2.000 persons were killed and 4,700 injured in grade crossing accidents "The motorist must assume major responsibility for preventing these accidents," said Colonel Stllwell. "Kailroads can't Install additional protective equipment now because materials and manpower are nfil available. "Wo feel sure American motorists will respond \vholehenrtodly to this appeal when they realize the seriousness of the problem " The Council offers three jfufcgt**-.. tions to motorists: 1. Approach all grade crossings with car under complete coruJol, prepared to stop at once is n^essary. 2. Be sure the way Is clear before you cross. Listen and look for signals. Open a window In cold weather so you can hear the whistle or bell. Make sure you can see clearly In both directions before you cross. - 3. Start your trip In plenty of time to allow for a short wait if a train Is passing a grade crossing. Doji't ever try to beat the train across. Buy War Bonds and Stamps i vvvvvvvvvv ME ?

But now these same long distance telephone lines are needed more and more to help produce the implements of war and move them to the fighting fronts. New lines cannot be built to fully meet the increasing volume of calls because the raw materials needed are being made into weapons . of war. Unnecessary long distance calls may slow up vital war calls. That's especially true of "long haul" calls, for the greater the distance you talk, the great* er the threat to war service.' -Yoy can do much to help speed victory by making only necessary long distance calls and by being brief in all telephone conversations.
