Seriously Folks By The Skipper -.The mo6t distressing news to reach the desk of your Skipper in many moons concerned the resignation of Rev. Wallace Edwards, sasoclate pastor of the First Baptist church and one of the most alert and progressive young men we have listed on our friendship roll. Wallace is just the type of young man Camden has need of. He has been one of the most active in Scout work, work among the young boys and really has been doing an outstanding job. m * It is Incomprehensible to this corner to understand why, when one has nich an outstanding character as Walace Edwards on the job, there should oe any thought of his resignation beng accepted. m m m m We think that the executives of the Baptist church should use every effort -o persuade Mr. Edwards to remain. There Is just as much need of men of :haracter on the home front as in :he battle line. . . - a The present war Is In the main a *'ar on civilization and all the tendts of the Christian faith, there Is Just is much patriotism in evidence on he part pf those who fight for righteousness and character building on the loine front as those who fight in the ox holes of Guadalcanal or In any of our far-flung battle fronts. * Again?we repeat?we shall miss a rine fellow, an upright character?and a genuine patriot?Wallace Edwards. =>LANS COMPLETED TO 3IM NATION'S LIGHTS Washington, June 2.?

Must Conserve Your Anti-Freeze Increased war demands for antifreeze chemicals, necessitating government regulations prohibiting the sale of "ethylene-glycol" type, commonly known as "permanent" antifreeze for ordinary use, are cited by IjXL Hedne^, Chevrolet nahtwuil directiST of service, as an urgent reason why car and truck users should take r.trpocfal pains to conserve this fluid. 4 In line with their Victory Service League pledge to 'S'ave the Wheels that Serve America," Chevrolet dealers are cooperating fully with car and truck owners In conserving antl-freeze solutions, not only to save critical chemicals but also to assure future cold w wit her operation of motor vehicles. By means of special factory-approved tdlts and Inspections dealers are able to determine accurately whether or not the solution is worth draining find saving for future use. If the solution Is to be left in the cooling system during the summer months, dealers recommend that the system bo cleaned and reverse flushed; that air passages In the. radiator core be free of obstruction'; that hose connections and water pump be inspected for possible leaks; that the fan belt bo examined for wear and that cylinder head bolts he tightened to prevent seepage of gasses into the coolant, re?????????? suiting In nn acid condition that would1 accelerate rust and corrosion.

Woodruffs Double Play, Unassisted, Feature of Game The softball fracas last Friday eveniitk Ik'Iwwii the Kendalls and Inatrucior mams of the city league carried all the ear marks of slow motion photography.

The Instructors apparently got off bearing and many became lost In a fog of errors. height bobbles were chalked up against the Instructors with Captain Wilson Beohe, usually a most dependable member of the team listing four yf them. There yiMn a splash of technicolor added t v* the evening show when Crank 'Woodruff comblhed with Dixon to participate In a brilliant double killing In a hectic third Inning.

These five runs* had been recorded when Woodruff and Dixon staged their classic double killing to end the agony. Benny Robinson, who is one of the hardest hitters^-in the league, smashed a lino drive that hoadtxl directly over Woodruff's head. The skinny first baseman of the Instructors did a kangaroo, leaping high Into tiie air and sparing the drive.

South Carolina's essential wart Into home-canning kouI for 1 !>43 totals 189,980,400 quarts, a loading food distributor ostimatod today. This huge Job faring tho state's 491,774 housewives represent* an average of 100 quarts of home-packed food per person, the amount the United States department of Agriculture has recommended for rural families and which It considers desirable also for urlvan families, explained Harvey A. Haunt, vice president of a large chain store's produee-huytng affiliate, (lie Atlantic Commission company. Atty housewife who meets this goal will assure each member of her family two cups of homu-cunned food dally for about seven months. "The need for housewlveH to meet the goal was emphasized when Price Administrator Prentiss M. Drown reported that only 18,000,000 eases of commercially canned fruits and vegetables would bo available to civilians each month this year Its rofhttared to 30,000,000 cases a month hist year," Haunt sttid. "This means a reduction of f>7 per cent, hut civilians will go* along on it so our nrnted forces and jtllles can get the food they need to whip tho Axis." Haunt believes many American housewives w ill nil ibis gap l>y purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables for both immediate use and for home canning inasmuch as those perishable foods require no ration points.

"Beginning In May our company furnished through its stores up-tothe-minute information as to when the various fruits ami vegetables are available in sufficient quantities to warrant canning." Haunt suid. "It Is a patriotic duty this year to can frulfs and vegetables in peak production periods to avoid waste." WHY NOT? Customer: "Somehow I don't like the looks of that mackerel."
