, remember back a few years I saw
a chap come into a loop restaurant in
Chicago sit down and tie a napkin
around his neck. The manager of
course, was scandalized *nd summoned
a waiter. "Try and make that man
understand, as tactfully as possible.
,hat that's not done." The waiter
went over to the guest and said,
.'Pardon me. sir, shave or hair cut"?
joe Johnson sez that no man wants
to talk sense to a pretty girl.

I remember once when riding a
Belmont avenue street car, in Chicago
we heard the conductor yell out:
' Hurry up, lady, we can't wait all
day. Whereupon a feminine voice replied.
"Gee, cantcher wait till ! get
my clothes on." Everybody in the car
Immediately craned their necks to
watch a girl get on with a basket of
laundry. "Ha! Ha! Gotcha that time
didn't I"?

Several wedlxs ago this writer referred
to Stanley BabTn, former Camden
softball star,, and compared him
to the late Lou Gehrig. The Chronica
manages to travel pretty, much
over all the world these days when
boys from Camden are taking part In
the battle activities on all fronts? and
so it happened a copy found Its way
to the United States Naval Air Station
at Banana River, Florida, and
low and behold the article relaltve
to our good friend Stanley found Itself
on the bulletin board.
*
Incidentally, Stanley had been doing
a hit of bragging about his basehall
prowess, and stories of his diamond
skill had caused his navy mates
to raise their eyebrows and stick their
tongues in their cheeks, which of
coiirs- made Stanley a wee-bit angry.
Sine :h,- bulletin telling of his basehall
achievements in this area was

We received a letter Tuesday from
this eminent gentleman and he stated
he was very much astonished to note
that his two former colleagues, Carl
Lightfoot and Beck Russell, arc stiH

would like us to tell him how they

The Serious Side
I read a verse Sunday morning. I
went to church also. I reckon the
combination made me do some serious
thinking. It might have affected
any of you folks the same way.
*
For instance, take the verse in
question. It is entitled "High Flight"
and was written by a 19-year-old
American flyer, since killed in action
with the Royal Canadian Air Force.
It is a beautiful sonnet.
*
High Flight
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of
earth
And danced the skies on laughter-sil-1
vered wings;
Sunward I've climbed and Joined the;
tumbling mirth
Of sun-spilt clouds?and done a hun.
dred things
You have not dreamed of?wheeled
and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring
there,
I've chased the shouting wind along
and flung
My eager craft through the footless
halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights
with easy grace,
Where never lark, or even eagle, flew;
And, while with silent lifting mind
I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the
face of God.
In the cool nave of Grace church,
where silent whirling fans removed
the sultriness of a June day in Carolina,
the presence of so many lads in
uniform, attractive girls in summery
attire, sedate matrons and their
knights, offered a delightful background
for one of the most exquisite
anthems that ever came from the portals
of the Grace church chancel.

when the beautiful voice of this lovely
girl was heard to greater advan|

Bean Beetle Fight
At Critical Stage
Clemson, June.?Victory gardeners
are advised by W. C. Nettles, Clemson
extension entomologist, that the
Mexican bean beetle fight now enters
its critical stage. The first serious
damage of this pest is now being observed
in various parts of the state.
Main reliance in control of this
pest must be placed in Insecticides.
It is just as important, however, to
destroy crop remnants to prevent further
breeding and to promote vigorous
growth so that the leaf area eaten will
Trot be missed by the plant in its
fruiting activity, says Mr. Nettles.
Reports indicate that there will be
sufficient derris or rotenone dust for
beau beetle control, but if the supply
becomes exhausted it is hoped that
sii'ficient cryolite will be available.
Derris dust now carries only one-half
of 1 per cent rotenone, and it is very
essential to hit the beetles and the
immature young which feed on the
under side of the plants. If the beetles
are very numerous, applications
should he repeated at intervals of
seven to 10 days. As a rule two to
three applications are sufficient on
snap beans. Bush butter beans, and
especially running butter beans, will
need a greater number of applications.
Many gardeners in the Coastal
Plains section of the state have planted
the Willow I^eaf butter bean,
which ts reported to have considerable
heap beetle resistance. Gardeners are
encouraged to watch the performance
of this bean as regards bean beetle
resistance.

to which Bean, in true sporting spirit
agreed.
It was a swell game to Watch for
several innings, but in the fourth the
Kendalls rallied to mix three hits
with two errors and a walk to count
six runs. From that inning on however.
the army defense was like a
stonewall and the Kendalls never
threatened. The army staged a four
run rally in the eighth and ninth
which gave the spectaotrs a chance to
do some rooting

was easily the star of the game, Hut

YOUR DENTAL I. Q. I
Am?rlctn D?nt?l AmocIwUou.
Q# I should like information con
corning the prevention of teeth
wear. 1 have taken fairly good care
of my teeth and eaten plenteously
of calcium foods. 1 am only 20 but
liny teeth are abnormally worn.
?L H. A.
' A Abnormal tooth #ear is called
| abrasion (a-bray-zhun). As in
dividuals grow older, their teeth will
naturally show signs of wearing
down due to normal use in masticaj
tion. Normal wear of teeth, such
j as is found in most persons at the
(age of 40, is not considered true
! abrasion. Many persons in the late
> twenties and early thirties have
' teeth so considerably worn that
mouth disfigurement results.
Treatment of abrasion is difficult
but if taken eurly, the dentist can
render much assistance by placing
fillings in certain teeth to relieve the
wear on the rest of the teeth. Strict
observance of the mouth is then
maintained and as the fillings wear
down, or the enamel or dentin of
other teeth show signs of abrasion,
additional fillings are employed.
Eating large amounts of calcium
foods, while generally healthful,
will have no beneficial effect on
this condition.
American women are noted for
their charm and attractiveness. Because
of their innate sense of beauty
women are more inclined than men
to keep the teeth in good condition.
Not only do attractive teeth aid in
"getting the job" but in keeping it,
for infected teeth may be the cause
of many bodily ills which impair
efficiency. In many cases, dental infection
may be the primary cause of
diseases and symptoms that develop
insidiously, such as headache, malnutrition
and loss of weight.

Dental Association, 212 East Superior street, Chicago, III.

Kershaw County is America in cross-section-fighting
mad and fighting hard, doing its level best to back up
our troops across the seas with the home-front cooperation
they must have.
All of us in Kershaw County are
putting the drive that counts behind
the particular jobs that are ours to
do-?whether it's sending our men to
the colors?building their guns and
ships and planes-?raising their food
and clothes and smokes?buying
bonds?or moving manpower.
Kershaw County men and women,
loyal Greyhound employees, are busy
keeping our buses rolling to help keep
our war effort in high gear. They're
driving the buses?keeping them mechanically
fit?conserving vital, materials?giving
wartime travel information?handling
baggage.
As our share in this country's joint
war program, Greyhound is taking
our local boys to induction centers
?and bringing them back home from
training camps on well-earned leaves.
We are transporting our neighbors to
their vital jobs in war plants and on
farms... We are keeping essential
travel on the move?linking up this
country with the other busy communities
of the South Atlantic states,
where so much of the Nation's war
activity is centered.
Kershaw County is in this fight to
win?we didn't start the fight but
we're going to finish it!
