McCorkle Fiddeled And Also Acts As A Good Song Leader The many hundreds of people who authored at the DeKalb Baptist church on the evening that the five day revival program was In progress have something to talk alnmt. They saw Camden's mayor, the Hon. F. N McCorkle. already ranked as an outstanding speaker, take up a violin and bow and literally make the stringed Instrument pour forth the sweetest of music. And that was not all?hUzoner stepped from the role of a Krelslcr to that of a song leader and the way he le<t those congregations to a new high in cooperative singing will go down In DeKalb Baptist church history as being an epic affair.

OUR TOWN Bv Jim Clou Id With the U. S. Armed Forces In Florida.?Rumor hath It that we shall he leaving this sunny sub-tropical climate before many more Miami moons come up out of the Atlantic. And by tho way. darling, that is a sight never to he forgotten. When the moon is full and you watch it rise, it comes up flaming red and dripping wot from beyond the horizon of a very blue ocean. Those of us who are allowed on the beach here at night have had experiences of one kind and another that will be with us for the rest of our days. Keep 'Em Flying! That's just what they are doing down this way. The sky is so full of Interceptors, P 38s, Aircobras, etc.. at all times one wonders how they keep from head on collisions. Sometimes they don't. The air is swarming with planes day and night. The drone of the high powered motors becomes second nature and you become as accustomed Jto it as t-hb kids who live alongside the elevated in New York do of that screeching noise. Formations of 9 or eleven planes, many of them, cruise out over the ocean for power diving or target practice. The faster ones scout around at all times like busy parents watching children at play while the huge four motored bombers hover high above with an overshadowing dignity that adds to their importance. It's a funny thing, though, with all this tangible evidence of war all about and overhead here each day there are still many people walking around that are apparently unaware of a war that will make all preceeding wars look like a Methodist Lawn social. As long as It does not affect them directly they can remain blissfully unaware of It all. Not until a bomb | comes close to them or until their personal comfort has been Interrupted will they turn more than a fleeting thought to tills greatest of all wars That, of course, is both selfishness, and self Isolation. Ostriches do the same thing or little children when they clap hands over eyes to hide from their view the gobbllns and boggey man. Psychologists call them introverts but that is too polite a word. For this departments dough they're simply one of two things. | thdy're either just plain selfish or ' * they are Incurable cowards staggering forever in the dark fog of Hbysiual ignorance. At a inarkot place today we saw one old gentleman who l>ought all the beef the butcher had left in the place. It amounted to exuetly fourteen dollai'8 worth and the man hud his chauffer carry it out to t>he car as he paid for the lot before going to his big car and driving away That, me heart leu, is just one reason why we are having our meat rationed. This is written Just two days before meat rationing started As the old man left and others were being told there was no more beef one chap near us was heard to remark that ho hoped the hoof the old man bought was all. tainted and that it gave him :he> golly wobbles When a military man sees a civilian | pull a stunt like (hat what do you think goes around and around in his mind! One guess. You'd have the sumo reaction. It's like Communism or any of the other Isms, as long as the human element enters Into the set up It Just no CO without rationing Food and other essential Items must ho rationed tx> protect us all. Less a few would live in plenty while the great masses would starve. What 'a sad commentary on human nature that is but there It is all Its black ugliness. We shall forever bo grateful to Wallace Stevens, publisher of the Hollywood, Florida. Sun.Tattler for his kindness to us during our fewweeks in Florida. He puldisht s Our Town in his good paper joach week and has been pleasant enough to say he likes the drival we write. If Wallace Stevens wanted to he eould write rings around this poor scrivener as Is evidence each week in his own column. The man has talent but Is more Interested in staying here in Florida, running his prosperous news-, paper and seeing what all he can grow on his nearby farm which- is his hobby. Maybe he's right at that! Everyone in our outfit is a bit gloomy at proa poets of leaving Florida at this time of year. Soldiering down here is much easier and a darned sight more pleasant, especially to those who have soldiered in the North in winter time. Hut, according to all the papers, there is a war going on and the boys in Kussia and other places are never even questioned as to their likes or dislikes when t( comes to the very important matter of w oat her. From all we can learn they go right on fighting over there In all kinds of weather.
