Now, Is this nice? One of the boys

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.

and character building on the

of our far-flung battle fronts.

Sesqui-Centennial
Park Is Now Open
Columbia. June?The Sesqui-Centennial
State Park, located approximately
10 miles northeast of' Columbia in
Richland county. Just off U. S. Highway
No. 1, was formally opened foe
tlie summer on June 1 and will remain
open to the public for the remainder
of the summer. It offers to
sweltering Columbians a nearby opportunity
for fine swimming and bathing
during the hot days ahead. In,
addition, excellent provisions are
uvailablo for picnicking and for outdoor
games.
Swimming is available in a large
artificial lake, with a gradual sloping
beach and a special beach for'chik'
dren. A bathhouse is provided, with
lockers and a place for checking valuables.
Lifeguards will be on duty at
all times. Charges for swimming only

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.
Owners having a suitable place in
which to store anti-freeze removed
from their vehicles are advised to
keep it in glass or earthenware containers.
Woodruffs Double

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 Kendalls won the contest
after seven and one half inning*
of play by a score of 14 to 0.
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.
This was the Inning in which pitcher
Reynolds lost control and with one

and permitted Threatt to score the
first run of a five run splurge. 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. Mancock
who had been at first base had
started for second but Woodruff after

189,980,400 Quarts
Is South Carolina's
Home Canning Quota
Estimate Based On Recommendation
For Housewives To
Put Up 100 Quarts
Per Person.
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. The
War Production Hoard has promised
adequate supplies of coverH and rubber
rings for honte canning.
"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."
Fish Dealer: "Well, lady. If It's
looks you're after, why don't you buy
a gold fish?"
