Wo can Hue dearly if we have agreed upon a code of ethics for our selves as a poopie. as a nation, and as a part of the new I'nlted World. What !h Oils code of freedom? Freedom of speech and expression ? everywhere In the world The right io disagree vocally or on the printed page without fear of reprisals of secret police or imprisonment without trial, the right to argue for or agulnat a government policy provides! we appeal only to orderly processed of law to change or alter the government. Freedom of religion?no restraint on the practice of any religious faith nor dlHciitnnatlon against any group * becauae of religion; the right of the tumlly to Leach religion freely to youth, so that the next generation may grow In faith and wisdom. Freedom from want?a sharing of the riches of the world, not a selfish hoarding of 'them for one nation or group alone. Not an 111 thought out patronizing dole or charity, but a conscientious attempt by all governments to make all citizens free from want, with no special favors shown to any group, whether they be workers or wealthy, members of the party In power or a small minority. And conversely it must be a system that will distinguish between the worker with hands or brain and the drone?a system that has the effect of leveling up and not dragging down, that encourages Industry and distinguishes In its rewards between the odVrgctlc and the lazy. Freedom from fear?fear of cruelty, intolerance, prejudice, organized hatred - freedom from fear of unexpected aggression and unforseeti man made J disasters?freedom to live and grow strong In security nnd peace. These are our guides to correct vision. We must not let exciting trifles blind us to realities, for on our clear perspective of the events of today rests the decision and the fate of tomorrow. Ix>ve.

Wearing a monocle or eyeglass is a great help In acquiring a "poker face." as the effort of holding it In position masks the expression.

Announcement was made by Mrs. Harrison that the Judge of the horse show will be Mrs. M. DuPont Scott, who Is owner of the famous Battleship which won the Crand National In England several years ago. Mrs. Scott's flat track In Camden ranks as one of the finest in the south. She Is one of the nation's leading horse women, owning many fine horses. Mrs. Harrison further announced that the ribbon rosettes to bo awarded winners In the various classes will each carry a cluster of war savings stam ps. M. M. Johnson Given Royal Welcome At The State House By The Skipper Former Senator Murdoch M. Johnson went back to the State House in Columbia one day last week. And what a welcome the former legislator received. He was in the company of Senator W. T. Redfearn and the latter, a close personal friend of Mr. Johnson, extended every courtesy to him. When the Senate went into session Senator Red fear n liad the pleasure of introducing Mr. Johnson to the law makers, who extended him a noisy welcome. R. E. C.rler, political writer of The Columbia State, who was present in the Senate Chamber when Mr. JohnHon was introduced, declared In his column that Mr. Johnson seemed in better health than in recent months. Which of course is quite true. Mr. Johnson has a distinction which few members if any of the legislature may claim. In 1930 he served in tho North Carolina state senate, then some years later when he moved back to South Carolina, he served in the South Carolina legislature.

Major Clarence Dunn, a son of the lillo Mr and Mrs. W J I>uim of thIs . riiy and a brother of Dr. J. , Dunn of this city and bumte . a rtot , lor of dental surgery. Is chief of in 1 Mirgery at an advancml evacuation, hospital in southern 1 unisia. Ho has seen things that Sherman, when the latter made his famous statement aUing up war. had never dreamed of. Besides tending to IiIh own cases. Dr Dunn Is in charge of evacuating wounded to the rear and he htuiwitnessed case after case of what shrapnel and high explqsbjes can do to healthy young Uo># * tt "It Is heart-brewing, he writes, -to see our boys ull broken and shot up. but. by God. they are ft gutty bunch and can 4ake it as well as( hand It out?never a whimper out of| them and all rearing to get back to have another go at Jerry." In andther letter he tells of seeing | his first case of gas gangrene: "Jmi haunted by the face of a good-looking kid from Texas, who reminded me so much of Ralph, Jr.?big. strapping, clean cut, open-faced, faithful to duty and -plenty of guts. He'd gotten it in the axillary region and before we got him the Infection had spread all through the ohest wall. Radical Inclsslons and sulfa may savo him. Of his own duties, the major-doctor has this to say, "I'm getting a wonderful experience and I hope doing a proportionate amount of good . . . The type of surgery being done here is very high for we have a welltrained staff and our mortality Is extremely low . . . Don't worry about me?I'm In the best of health as who wouldn't be living entirely In the open, eating well and getting plenty of exercise and plenty of work ... I sleep wonderfully, usually being too tired to stay up past 9 o'clock . . Major Dunn has seen Italian and German prisoners. The former he says, "are pleased to be here and hate h out of the Germans." The German he describes as a different breed?arrogant and resentful. The Major, Just like a private?or a general?gets homesick some. "I got homesick sometimes-but the knowledge of knowing I'm i doing my duty and a good Job eleviates it somewhat, but the lonesomeness still persists. All of us pray that it won't i take too long." I Though he says the food is good, j the Major and other men at the hospital are not being wined and dined like lords of the desert. Alcohol where ho is. is non-existant, and he misses most of the familiar dishes of home. I "Get out the bottle of very hot: sauce." he writes, "the kind Papa used j to like so much?put- it on some oysters and think hard of me. The sauce i is the thing I miss most, not the! oysters. I'll surely enjoy eating when I get home." i Homo to the Major is New York City. He left a lucrative dental prac-' tico there, a wife, two fine sons and j a pretty daughter, to serve his coun-, i try overseas. The wife and children ; are making their home in Sumter for the duration, residing at number 1 Glendalo court. The Major didn't mention hisi career as a dentist before entering the Army, nor did his brother. Hut, there are others who know about it and write about it. Inez Rohb. not'd correspondent for the International News Service, recently wrote a long I feature article about meeting Dr. I Dunn in Tunisia.- "It's a small world." she wrote, "when a reporter at America's most advanced evacuation hos-| pital can walk into the oral surgeon' who H) years earlier chiseled two wis-) dom teeth out of her aching Jaws at'! New York's Fifth Avenue hospital." i j When she met him. Miss Rohb said. Dr Dunn was bundled up to his ears in ('. I. clothes and could have passed!* for any G. I soldier, complete from clumsy shoes to woolen socks. Miss Rohb confesses that she herself. was no style show. She was in G. I. wool shirt and slacks, "topped1 by as many sweaters and coats as ij could carry." "Dr Dunn reminded me." she* ! wrote, "that the last time he had seen i j me I had been a pampered wretch in i | | v^fl a private hospital n*.m *it>>a.^B and I reminded him that he fit > slicker pia-ss. <i at arched within tin in. h of his ltf,!^B When Miss Hobh nu t pr whs no city slicker but he (VM -?"the cloanest man in North AtaS ho boasted, for having t wx? suits of long underwear Iqi^B tin holmot. and cleaned pan la and two blolist s with gaaoline ho waa able to |>henag)?^H "Major Dunn," Miss Itobb oomufl ?1h typical of the doctors |q Roosevelt hospital unit whose tivo hands represent q i;UiuM|c ill training and skill."
