l.a.-t week Dode of Park Ridge conriluii"'l
a nifty bunch of poetry under
he t.rI?* Bill's Clothes." This week
he vetn-'s forth with an even better
ne wlii> h reads as follows:
l'ut away all his baby pictures
'he toy- he played with?the clothes
he wore
'ry to remember he Isn't your baby
iiiy more.
Try to think of him clad in khaki 4
Iher wings on his breast If you can

Do you mind Dode, if wo dedicate
lat little verse to Jack's mother?
I own Broad Street
s loitering scribe interviewed
a number of prominent business
professional men In his tour of
lowntown area last Saturday. He
d of this, that, and the other
, and some of the reactions were
Hows:
1 Schlosburg: "Tell you what
sr. 'hose weary of waiting for
atiing tower of Pisa can lay $2
lich way the Duce will fall."

I done Carl, but listen to what
Wi'son at the A. and P. has to
regarding the present air bomient
of Germany. "With further
ment of the RAF blockbuster,
lerman war factory may now
its choice of being granulated,
ized or drip ground."
* m m
c \ Victor you are thinking of
grinding of your Bokar,
'> 'lock and other brands. But
I-' 'hat plug stand and drift on
t:s I.co's grocery emporium.
h id been reading up on eon
n war torn Europe and before
u! ! say "scat" he remarked,
"iidt-rful how the patriots in
' -'"t out those underground
I" rs that people read In the
which we remarked that we
it it wonderful?borrowing these
s of dolars from ourselves wittily
co-signers. Somebody trusts
iaybe it's us.
Mur across the street and alsetting
clocked by an ancient
Jalopy we ran amack luto our good
friend from Belks, Mr. Hagln, who
calmly remarked that he had hoard a
lot about fox limiting in Tunisia, hut
to him It HiuackH more of the final
atagoH in a greased pig contest."
Stopped at the corner to chat with
some of the lads and* became embroiled
In a discussion Wlativo to the
respective merits of man's intuition as
compared to the intuition of a woman.
Hlzzonor Mayor McCorkle drifted up
In time to remark that ' Man s intuition.
If any, may be Inferior, but did you
ever hear of a man trying to save'
a buck by pleating a lamp shade at
home?"
No slr-e-e-e Mac, we never did.
Hut listen to this, for it concerns no
othor than Pat Orr. the smiling cop.
Pat stops to inquire, "After points
rationing has taken eight Inchea off
?tho waistline, what is one to rest
the lxK>k against while reading in
bed." "Don'tv bo so helpless Pat?fit
the volume firmly between the
wrinkles."
But listen to this fellows. The next
guy I met?well, I won't mention his
name. He pulled the cream wisecrack
of the 8aturday afternoon treasure
hunt. He?well, I was with him?
were watching a swell looking dame
clad in slacks crossing the street. Mr.
X gazed at the passing slack.clad gazelle
for a few minutes and then turning
to me said: "Do you know Skipper,
many of the women wearing
slacks must come from good families
?They are so well-reared."
Orchids and Onions
Getting back to that matter of
chewing gum?people are really complaining
about the shortage. But?
and listen closely folks?there is always
a bright side to every picture.
The gum scarcity has accomplished
several splendid things?for instance
?there is * less gum now on theater
seats, restaurant tables and charis.
m m m
I chuckle when I think back several
years when I first came to Camden
and in the process of rounding up
some equipment that had belonged to
the Chamber of Commerce of past
years, recovered a desk which had the
most^bewilderiug coating of blue and
red pa ill t on it?and also the biggest
collection of gum wads plastered under
the top overhang on both sides
and in the front. What a lot of fun
we had in chiseling that stuff off be-;
for we could apply a civilized colored
paint to the affair!

Adding to a recent editorial comment
in this paper anent the matter
of gossip, let this corner add just this
simple statement: People who are
smart enough to pick up all the latest!
gossip never seem smart enough to
keep st i 11 about it until they have
heard the other side of the story.
Isn't it about time the government
really got tough wtih this strike prob
lem? As th.is column Is. being written,
we note the newspapers are giving
much space to the almost nation-wide
breaking out of strikes in indus-tries
vital to the war effort. The strike in
the coal mines and then the temporizing
on the part of the government
with the leaders has served to give a
lot of other non-patriots funny ideas.
The only way to curb this treasonable
activity is to put the leaders
back of the bars in some federal
penitentiary. We don't think very
many Americans would shed any
tears if some of them were stood before
a firing squad.
Well! Well! Well! We note by the
press that the government has finally
decided to get some B and C class motorists
down into the A class they,
belong In.
Well, you guys who have been piloting
the jalopy out to your favored
steak joint, rolling over the countryside
with your best girl without
thought of the gasoline you are using
up in unessential drivnig?you're going
to wake up and find that thifc
kind of motoring has become a pleasant
dream. For latest advices from
the gasoline front indicate that the
so-called pleasure driving ban, which
prevailed for a short time 'several
months ago is going to be resumed
and from information received from
the state OPA headquarters, this time
it will be enforced?And How.
Motorists with B and C cards on
their windshields have been running
hogwild In the burning up of gas of
late according to the OPA officials.
"When gasoline is issued for a specific
purpose, it must be used for that
purpose and no other.". 8ays the
OPA "Motorists must not feel that
because 8outh Carolina is not yet in
the zone of pleasure driving ban enforcement
that they may use their
supplemental gas rations for any purpose
they please."

This corner would like to make a
bet (hat the pleasure drving ban will
b pelastered on this area withni a
! week or so.
