Orchids to the rationing board at Baltimore who revoked the gas rationing card of the wife of the governor when she drove from Baltimore to Charleston, "for reasons of her health" as she explained. The board oould not see it that way so they took away her gasoline. Which means that a lot of folks In this part of the hills are getting away with murder so far as using gas Is concerned. v m e m Isn't it about time the OPA cracked down on a lot of these motorists who are using their cars for none other than pleasure purposes. One would never know a war Is on If he based his opinion upon the conservation of gas which Is NOT In evidence in Canulen. Traffic was never heavier than right now and there Is no wonder that people from Now York and other largo cities where they really observe hto rationing regulations, are aghast at the disregard evidenced here. Frankly we should bo damned ashamed of ourselves. , . ? ?| Sport Potpourri BY THE SKIPPER s L ? ?J We can't, for the life of us, understand why more people, especially those who delight In outdoor sport, do not wander over to the baseball pasture and see the City League games. We suggest you study tho schedule and whenever you see that the fracas scheduled for your long evening Involves combat between either the Army or Kendalls, or the Merchants scrapping either of these teams, you can be certalfflfrou'll get an eyefull. T * * 0 This chap Schnell, pitcher for the Army, really put over a swell bit of heaving last Friday against the City Ail-Star outfit and up to the eighth ( inning had allowed but one hit. He ( was accorded beautiful support for those rounds but the defense cracked ( /vide open In the eighth and ninth Innings and there was nothing Schnell ;ould do about It. m * m Tho Maintenance, Home Guard and instructor teams are all good and setting bettor all tihe time. The first half of the race close# the latter part of the month, after which a new schedule taxes over. At the end of the season the first and second half winners battle it out ror the exquisite trophy which will bo awarded the championship team. Hugh (Shot) Cox, former Camden football ace and now starring for North Carolina varsity, has donned the zebro outfit of the Merchants* team and Is back of tho bat. Johnny Gee Plans Come-Back; We Are Still Skeptical $75,000 Hurler Must Show the Skipper He Is A Pitcher Hy Skipper Johnny One, (lie big six-foot, nmeineh pitcher, sold by Jack Oorbett, then manager of the Syracuse Chiefs to Pittsburgh at the close of the 1938 season for $75,000, whose major lea Kue career turned out to be somewhat of a bust, thinks he Is on the road back. According to a Pittsburgh dispatch, (lee thinks that his arm is back in condition and wants to get a regular Job. He has been doing batting practice pitching for the Toronto and Syracuse clubs in the International league and says that for the first time in four years he can now throw his speed ball. A year ago when Toronto trained in Camden, (lee made his appearance in a Maple Deaf uniform, hut he wasn't any better than when he wore the spangles of the Pirates after the sensational sale by Corbett. Well, (lee was a nice lad, Inclined to be a bit cranky, but who wouldn't aftor such a fizzle as a big time pitcher. We hope he makes good in his new start, but wo Just can't see it as being possible. Kvcn when Johnny was here with the Chiefs and we listened to Jack Oorbett's rhapsodical outbursts about him, we had our tongue in our cheek ami a most disbelieving glare in our eyes, (lee never looked like a big time heaver to us and we do not believe ho ever will attain any great renown. The concentrated interest and enthusiasm that has prevaded the ranks of the softball talent was evidenced in full last Wednesday when the Merchants and the Maintenance battled nine rounds in the rain, the Merchants winning 13 to 7. Down Broad Street "What I can't understand is why wo can't send any more greeting telegrams." said David Raum, who had Just sold four life Insurance policies, and was in a mood to chatter-happily. "No sir. It's a real puzzle." he continued. "You can't wire anything in the line of 'happy birthday,' 'hope you are recovering,' congratulations on the birthday of a child, a wedding, no sir, not a thing in the greeting line. What's the big reason Skipper?" "Well," sez I, "I thnik that the editor of Colliers offered the best reply to you Dave, when he said 'Nope boys, it can't be done, (lovernment orders. The boys rtbwn in Washington are writing so many unnecessary telegrams that they decided there wasn't room for yours'." Facts About Tuberculosis What are the facta about tuberculosis (hut everyone should know? 1 Tuberculosis Is caustnl by u germ, the tubercle bacillus. No one ever developed tuberculosis unless the germ of the disease outers the body. Tuberculosis is usually In the lungs although It may occur in any organ of the body. It Is a slow disease and may take years to develop. 2. Tuberculosis is not inherited. Tuberculosis ''runs In families" because of the close contact within the family circle. Employees of the household may he Infected and It Is important to make suro that those wiio are intimately associated with the fgmlly are free from tuberculosis. Healthy strong bodies aro the best Insurance against being overcome witl\ tuberculosis. 3. Tuberculosis often exists without the presence of signs or symptoms. Tuberculosis can exist in apparently well and healthy individuals. The tuberculin test and the X-ray are the weapons to use to detect the disease. 4. Tuberculosis Is no respector of persons. It. is true that more tuberculosis Is found among unskilled workers than tn professional groups, hut we cannot forget the list of physicians, writers, artists and statesmen who have been victims of tuberculosis. 5. Tuberculosis is curable. The earlier the case Is discovered tho more rapid will be the recovery. Those that are moderately or far advanced often take years to cure and sometimes never recover. 6. Tuberculosis is preventable. In tuberculosis certainly "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Tlie wider UHe of our-weapons, the tuberculin test and tlm X-ray. will cut theTleath rate and may ultimately rid the world of tuborculosis. 7. Tuberculosis threatens our children. A large percentage of all cases of tuberculosis are infectious implanted during childhood?usually between birth and 15 years of age. Detection of cases before they become spreaders and isolation must bo carried out to protect this and tho future generations. 15 Per Cent Raise Is For All Teachers "The salary of every school teacher In the public schools of the state which quulifyj for And receive state aid under the statutes providing state aid for public schools, shall be increased 15 per cent per month for tho state aid school term, according to a letter received by W.
