Considering the olalma frequently madd by Herr Goebbels he should have made a flood golf player, see There Is no use for oVer-optimism. It never won a war or anything else, e e e Disagreement adds to the spice of life and to the correspondence of adltors. With that In mind, let ua rag* later strong preference for blueberries over huckleberries, apple pie over! mince, roast beef over ohlcken, and a milder choloe for strpwberrlee over J raspberries and for the mountains against the eeafhore. Now let the brickbats fly. But keep Tem clean. i If the Americans and the Birtlsh keep on blasting Hamburg, historians will have to rename it hamburger, which is what a lot of people know it by now. . e After a fellow writes his license number on all of hla gasoline ooupone he Is too tired to go out trying to get gasoline on the black market. ' m m Harold Ickes explained a lot of things the other day about bureau* crats, but he forgot to explain the most Important ? lokes. ? About the only time a fellow heard of painted lefls in the past was when a merry-go-round came to town. Flash!. The Italian navy has just been sighted headed north at full speed through Brenner Pass. ' A twenty-five dollar War Bond can be purchased for eighteen dollars and aevetity^flve cehts. Just where Is there a better bargain? < * \ k f The propoeed plan of the Bureau of j Recreation to sponsor a hard ball league rather than a aoftbatl organization next eprirtg and eummer ie meeting with general approval on the part of the sport fens. . s s o e Dr. Carl A. West, former athletic dlreotor for the American Legion, believes the move will be of great value in the matter of Increased Interest and also for the development of baseball talent in the ranks of the younger boys. This idea, we take it, car-, - .1' rloH a real appeal to Dr.^Weet in that It will probably result li* Camden patting a Juulor Legion team Into actio* ntg, v? _ v > Arthur (Stamps) Clark, local Legion Commander, la another baaeball fan to endorse the Idea. Art alee heilevoe It win he a factor In putting Camden back on the Junior Legion baseball map. This corner does not in any way wish to give out the lmpreeaion that we are getting tepid on the matter of softball. Far from. We think the present eo(tball season haa been one of the beet we have had in the etx yeara we have sponsored the ??port In Cam-, den. The games last week were about as thrilling a series of pastimlng we have seen in years. And that opinion is echoed by scores of others. Two tied games that went Into extra Innings and had to be called because of darkness, a game that went to the last minute before a cellar outfit trimmed the league leaders, all contributed lots of excitement and entertainment The game last Friday, scheduled to be played between the Maintenance team and the Kendalls, did not take place because none of the Kendall players showed up. The game was of course forfeited to the Kelly elan. i This writer suggests to the Bport fans of Camden that they can find a lot of entertainment and thrills by attending these games. Regular games | are scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, but when a game Is postponed for some reason or anotheif there is a chance of seeing aotloa on the pasture on Tuesdays and Thursdays when the arph^l* available for these playoffs. V * * It has been a wonderful experience for this corner to work With the men who have been teadera of the teama this season. Among those with whom we have had some happy contacts are Lt. Frank Bean, Wilson Beebe, Paul Nabora, "H"p" Chichester, Alvin Kelly, Tommy Bruce, Elmer Nolan, Bonnie Robinson?just to mention a few# The charge of "robber"?In its fullest* legal sense?was lodged against an umpire at Phoenix, Ariz., recently. A soldier reported he was robbed of $2 as he walked from the ball park. TWo suspects were jailed and charged with robbery. One was an umpire. - At a meeting of the team managers of the City Softball league Monday, the question of cutting down the league tp a four team circuit by dropping the Kendall Mill team was solved when Benny Robbinson, Kendall manager, declared that come hell or high water he was prepared to finish the season with his sadly wrecked outfit. That is one of the things we like about Benny. He always calls them as he sees 'em whether umpiring or managing his team. Paul Nabors, one of the finest chaps we have met in many moons, was on the bench last Monday when the Instructors played" the Merchants. Paul said he was feeling rather bad, sort of "three sheets in the wind." Probably due to the extreme heat. * The brand of softball that 1b being dished up at the City League lot la about the hottest ever seen in Camden. Not because of the heat wave but because the teams are well-matched and the games have been close nd exciting. ? .** esse ' At the meeting Monday the teem moguls were (or extending the seagou * week or two longer, but It would be impossible to follow a schedule that would give eech team au equal number of tilts with opposing teams, so the Idea has been abandoued aud the league Season will come to a olose on September 8. The playoff between the winners of the first end second halves will then be staged. It ,wlll be a case of best two out of three and If It goes to a third game decision, It (s hoped to play the final and deciding tilt on a Sunday afternoon. Down Broad Street ' i ii ..I if I... One of the beat yarns we have heard In some time oame from Mayor McCorkle who was telling ue about a ministerial friend of his who was traveling on one of those way-tralne that stop at every station on tha aids Hps. This minister was readlpg his Bible when the condaetor oame. through ths train. ^ "Did you find anything about the railroad In that book?" asked the ton* ductor, as he reached for the minis* ter's ticket. "Yes," replied the minister, "In the. very first ohaptqr It says that tha Lord made every oreeplng thing." ^ 1 e e e A northern friend of ours on a visit to Camden brought with her small son. The young man was down town ull day following the date of their ar. rival In town aud upon his return |i home in the evening he told his moth-| er that he guessed all the people In Camden were hungry. He said that he heard so many people in meeting one another on the street say, "What's cookln'?" ? * ? "8avage" Kennedy take* top honors for a poetical spaem this week.

Not one on every oorner. ? i Mrs. Murphy and Mrs. Clancy each had a son In Australia. Meeting on the street one day, each began to dls,-CUss news they had heard on their ^respective soldier boys. Mrs. Murphy asked Mrs. Clancy what had heard from Mike. . . c Mrs. Clancy says: "It's bad news. He writes he's going around with a Jeep!" Mrs. Murphy: "Don't worry, Mrs. Clancy. That's what they call thoaa army automobiles." ~ Mrs. Clancy: "Praia? tbe aalnts! I thought a Jeop waa a female Jap." Jack Nettlea tella a cholc? ona about a llttla 5-yearold child running to her grandmother holding a dry preaoed laaf which waa evidently a relic of many year?-ago. "I found It In tha, big Bible, grand, mother," ahe cried exoltedly. "Do you ? 'epoae It bolonged to eve?"

The implication la, eaye the writer, the Irlah will get what is coming to them, e e. Well, why shouldn't Britain rememher that the Irish remained neutral?
