The idea that Uncle Sam and the American Red Cross have to go around begging people to loosen up with their dough is the .most redlculous thing anVone could imagine. All this entr.lv aside from tho bare fact that i: is just plain stupid! These important military men are strictly in the know and they're very close to the top. Several of them haw been in lots of action in this I war on various spots of this globe lot ours which Is so rapidly becoming smaller and smaller and they know what they're talking about. For ex aniple. one just returned from Africa said. "Don't make any mistaken estiImates of the strength or cunning of our enemy over there. We're doing a swell job of fighting but don't for Bone second get the idea thai it's all over. We're fighting the ' toughest B?-nemy I've ever s&en and I've peen a lew!" Another, back from the Far East, said, "It's going to take a lot of time. Too many mandated Islands to hold up our advance. Folks here at home under estimate the strength of the Japanese Merchant Marine. Our naval victory does not mean that this uncivilized and vicious enemy of ours hasn't got plenty left. It will take a lot of time." And on and on. We could tell you lots more but from what has been | net down above in this column you j may get a rough idea that giving i premature birth to the Victory idea not only all wrong but downright dang. rous. it Is precisely what the " my would wish us to do.

Merchants Urged To Check Endorsements Merchants throughout South CumUna who accommodate their customers l>y cashing their unemployment compensation checks were urged today to more closely scrutinise the endorsements. 'I'llis note of warning came from the South Carolina Unemployment Compensation Commission which said that frequently merchants fail altoget tier to obtain the claimants' endorsements. or cash checks which are obviously improperly endorsed. In such instances the Commission lias no alternative except to return the checks to the hanks, which in turn demand payment from the merchants. An average of 10 checks daily are returned because of improper, or lack of, endorsements. The Commission has on file the claimant's bona fide signature and is therefore able to closely check each endorsement. The most usual reasons why checks are returned unpaid are: thd endorsement is illegible; it does not correspond with the signature on file; it is printed and therefore not acceptable; the endorsement (X) is not witnesaod by two persons; the address of at least one of the witnesses was loft off. The Commission said that it appreciated the cooperation of merchants in cashing the checks for claimants hut that it was giving tills note of warning to them to protect them against further losses.
