Sport
Potpourri
Strolling down the main drag the
other morning I ran across little
Charley Littls, a memory of the good
old days before the war when polo
was king around these diggins. Char*
ley Is managing the PX at the Port
of Embarkation at Charleston, and Is
doing a swell Job.
* +
I)o you folks remember "way back
when" they pluyed polo here, and
can't you britiK back luto memory's
perspective the picture of Charley
strutting his stuff A^his pony?
w
Well, the war can't last forever,
and we hope to see polo aa our major
attraction again. And b" all means?
Charley will be In \Mi picture, even
if he Is wearing a long white beard.
Speaking of umpires, we still believe
that Benny Robinson is about
tops in that lino. Benny knows the
game and ho calls them just us he
sees them. Nabors of the Instructors,
is another follow who knows what it
is all about when handling the indicator.
Bobo (Buck) Newson Is having a
heck of a time winning games since
he Joined the St. Louis Browns.* And
Johnny Gee won a ball game with a
swell exhibition of relief hurling a
few days ago. Surprised? So were
we.
Orchids and Onions
We haven't the least Idea who the
police officer was, but the guy who
told us said it was the best looking
officer on the Camden force?so that
is why I am not going to mention
any names. All I can say is that they
are all good looking.
*
But the story is that this extra
good looking member of the staff was
very much annoyed last Saturday
when a lady in a car stopped to the
red light and remained stationary
when the green came on. Then the
red came on and she still ha4 failed
to move. Whereupon the good looking
blue coat, walked out and tipping
his hat said, "What seems to be the
trouble, ma'am. Haven't we a color
that you like?"
All papers have to worry about mis.
takes in proof reading. Even the
metropolitan press. We noted in the
Columbia State Sunday that the society
writer in 6peaking of the bride
at a Columbia wedding went on to
say "She is descented from families
distinguished since Colonial days In
the history of this state." Sort of a
grave line scent, I presume.
We very seldom scan the society
pages of some of the papers because
we always end up by getting into a
daze when we stumble upon such adjectives
as lovely, handsome, brilliant,
pretty, exquisite and many others
used in writing up weddings. I never
will forget the city editor of a large
midwest dally sailing into the society
department and bellowing his rage at
the sob-sisters because thfey had been
using all that flowery bushwa In their
writeups. It never happened again.
Just plain silly. If you doubt what
we say about this sob-sister gush, just <
study the social writeups In the New)
York, Boston, Philly, Cleveland, Chi-j
cago or papers In other large cities.j
It is distinctly small town stuff, and
some of It Is so darned funny that It
ought to be put In the comic papers.

to remark that the Nazi offensive in
Russia should carry the Inscription: "Opened

Arthur Clark, better known as
"Stamps" declares the German high
command would like to trade Hitler
for a good left-handed pitcher.
Down Broad Street
The guy who hangs around the police
booth at Broad and DeKalb Sts.,
has a lot of good ideas?particularly
those on "how to avoid growing old."
IJere are a fow of them:
I Always drive fast out of alleys. You
might hit a policeman. There's no
' telling.
Always pass the car ahead on curves
or turns. Don't use your horn because
It might unnerve the other fellow
and cause him to turn out too
far.
Demand half the road?the middle
half. Insist on your rights.
Always lock your breaks when
skidding. It makes the Job more
artistic. Often you can even turn
clear around.
Always drive close to pedestHans
in wet weather. Dry cleaners will
erect a monument to your memory.
Never sound your horn on the road.
8ave It until late at night for a door
bell. Few homes have guns.
Always try to pass on the hills
when possible. It shows your bus has
more power, and you can turn somewhere
surely If you meet another car
at the top.
Take the shortest route around
blind left-hand turns. The other felI
low can take care of h|maelf If you
can.
Never look around when you baok
up. There never Is anything behind
your automobile.
Drive as fast as you can on wet
pavements. There Is always something
to stop you If you lost control?
often a heavy truck or a plate glass
window.
See your doctor for further details
and cheat the old age pension.

Pedestrian Accidents
Lead In S. Carolina
More fatal pedestrian accidents
wore reported in South Carolina 1u
thu post five years than any other
typo of motor vehicle accident, raid
C. It. McMillan, stuto highway engineer.
Seven hundred and seventy six
fatal pedestrian accidents were recorded
during this time.
Non-collision accidents accounted
for the next highest number of fatal
crashes, 708. with 54ft collisions between
two or moro motor vehicles
holding, third place.
Almost 87 per cent of the fatal accidents
were of these throe types.
Summaries on a<M!ldents from 1988
through 1942 show that pedestrian accidents
have steadily lost ground as
the most common fatal mishap. In
1988 they formed slightly over 87 per
cent of the death-dealing accidents, ?,
in 1942 approximately 30 per cent.
The percentage of fatal iion-collislon
accidents has increased over the
five year period from 28 per cent of
all fatal accidents in 1938 to almost
32 per cent In 1942.
Collisions between two or moro vehlelos
have fluctuated in proportion
to other fatal accidents from 21 per
cent In 1938 to 27 per cent in 1941
to 2.1 per cent In 1942, with a 23 per
cent average for the five years. Twoor-more
car crashes have nmdo up
over half of all reported accldmts,
less than one-fourth of the fatal ones
(except In 1941 when slightly over
one-fourth of the fatal accidents wore
motor vehicle collisions.)
"The figures on accidents In South
Carolina during the past flvo years
show, on the whole, a distinct uniformity
from year to year In the
share each type had in the total, although
the number of fatal accidents
ranged from the peak of 582 in 1941
to 847 in 1942," said Mr. McMillan.

V-a- . . JFoREST PRODUCTS arc vital to war. That's why it't bad news for

Today we have over 500,000,000,000 cubic feet of wood in the commercial
forests, and the total forest lands cover an area almost 80 percent
as large as when the first white men were battling In the wars with the
Indians. This is because there always have been new proas growing. /
With the help of the forest industries, this annual growth in American
forests has been steadily increasing for a score of years. It is still incresf

than the annual harvest. ~ -i \ --y - 1 * r?<FREE
