Ceiling prices on retail sales of
bcef, veal, lamb and mutton became
affective Thursday, April 15, and according
to the OPA housewives are
going to find these ceiling prices In
iridfet cases, lees than the prioe consumers
have been paying lately. Similar
prices on retail pork cuts went
into effect March 1.
A? a whimsy I might mention that
the OPA specifies that any odds and
ends of meat may be ground into five
point hamburgers. Its critics If wise
will keep a finger out of this.

I suppose every baseball fan and
sport enthusiast in Camden witnessed
"Pride of the Yankees" starring Gary
Cooper at Lee Little's flicker palace
lust week. It was the beet picture
Phis corner luus witnessed in ages and
scenes at the White Sox ball park In
Chicago made us a woe bit homesick.
It was interesting to note the effect
cf the baseball action scenes on the
Camden rooters. It was all very real
to them and the way they whooped it
up and cheered was quite thrilling.

If you do not "know the gent. Freddie

By the way, did you folks hear

Hats off to the M and K, Seven Seas.

Cod put many strange creatures

Remember the smart aleck pilot
who scared hell out of the Camden
populace several Sundays ago when
he staged a series of hedge-hopping
stunts over the city, almost taking
the tail off the mantillo of Chief
Haigler atop the city hall? Well, that
particular flyer will not be around for
awhile. The protest made by the city
and Chamber of Commerce resulted
in his being grounded.

So many people have been expressing
their enthusiasm over the gorgeous
display of the dogwood blossoms
on the trees in tho library park. These
trees, and many others in parks and
other places about tho city were planted
by Henry Savage, Jr., in 1929.
Petite Mary Morrison, who occupies
the throne in the public library, says
that when Henry planted those trees
back some 14 yours ago, people wondered
why he was going around putting
sticks in the ground. Well, those
sticks paid real beauty dividends.

"hi-ya, soldier"
: j
T - ' JLT
made Jim feel mighty proud when that
youngster looked up at the cab window and called
out, "Hi-Ya, Soldier!"
You see, Jim fought in France in the last war...
before many of the boys who are fighting this war
were born.
Today, Jim's a locomotive engineer... been with
the Southern Railway System ever since he came
back home in 1919.
Then Pearl Harbor...and Jim began to feel uneasy.
Wondered if he shouldn't get beck in uniform again.
' - ~m - - a ?
*V Bat he doesn't feel that way now. That comradely
"Hi-Ya, Soldier!" cleared up a lot of things that were
troubling Jim. For it made him realize that he ia a
. soldier! In this war, toot
- "7 He remembers that tanks and ships can't be built,
or guns and planes roll off the production line ..
without railroad transportation. ? '
He knows that fighting men would be hungry and .
cold and helpless.. .without railroad transportation. (.'
He knows that there would never be enough of
anything, where it is wanted, when it is needed...
without railroad transportation.
So Jim, and all the other men and women of the
Southern Railway System, are "good soldiers". ..
doing their bit by keeping the wheels rolling under the
heaviest transportation load in history.
Their fight is the vital Battle of Transportation...
and they're keeping die tracks dear for Victory!
