Friday,'October 1, 1943 “Ye that have faith to took with fearless eyes , _ Beyond the tragedy of a world at strife, And know that out of death and night shall rise The dawn of ampler life; Re>oice, whatever Anguish rend the heart, That God has givgn you the priceless power , To live in these great times and ihave your ^ part - • "" In freedom^ crowning hour, ‘ That ye may^tell your sons who see the light High in the Heavens—their heritage to , take— ‘I sa.w the powers of darkness take their flight; T saw the morning break’.” THE NEWS REEL I SAW It was a news reel showing our soldiers lined np some where in the tropics—perhaps Africa—or it might have been on an island in the South Pacific. Those boys were not lined up to receive chow. They were waiting their turn to buy bonds. * ^ No silver-tongued speaker could ever bring home the need of buying bonds so efifectively as did this news reel. It was a picture that put over a real message. Wouldn't yoa.think that in the hell of the, fighting over there that these boys had given enough. In fact-r-their all. But there they were still giving' more. They had heard their Uncle Sam’s urgent call. They did not stop to consider whether their lives and their youth wasn’t quite enough. They realized that they must give just a little bit more. So you, Mr. Citizen, double up what you had in mind when the bonds salesnian raps on your door. — The Skipper. GUESSING IS HARMFUL H would seem that there is .small point and very great opportunity for mLschief in all the guessing and speculation in the press and on the radio about the^ assignment of Chief of-^aff Marshall to new and larger war duties, and to the' subsidiary matters which have been injected into the gossip. Apparently the arrangement of po.sts, duties and respon sibilities for the all-out offensive phase of Allied operations is being set up. Only the very highest and most responsibile officers and officials,.oif the nations involved have the informa tion at hand to know what the assignments are or what the r^ponsibilities are intended to be. Obviously they^ean not discuss them publicly, for the benefit either of the enemy or the gossip columnists. . So-called “experts” guessing on the basis of no-informa tion whatsoever is worse than useless and silly; it can be definitely damaging to the war. effort. LINE UP BROTHER!

EMOTIONAL INSTABILITY Tnterrialional emergencies aiid business booms, as” well* as postwar perieds and depressions, invariably overemphasize our problems of delinquency and crime. The reason perhaps is emotional instability. . ' Stronj; hearts and strong minds are necessary, first O'f all, in the extremes of both peace and war. There are twh factions in the world today fighting for survival; one m4pst be wrong and the qther. must be right, and only one can ?ur- viye. All of us in this country are convinced that the Am.eri- C'}!} 'vay of life is the fight way. It is difficult to conceive a civilization such as is proposed by .^Adolph Hitler, Premier Tojo, and the .late unlamented Benito Mubsolini. It is against such things that we are fighting. There are several hundred young men and women from Kershaw county fighting our battle for us.^ The national fig ure is indefinite, but it is believed to be in the neighborhood .of seven million. That represents a mighty army, from* Ker shaw. county and from the nation at large. Those young men and women are fighting to preserve the American way”^ life as they knew it. They will come back some day and it is up to all of us to make sure that the American way oif life will still be. in existence when they return. We hear about juvenile delinquency increasing, there is more crime in some parts of the country, there also is talk of prohibition. Those problems are for the people on the horhe front to recognize and solve before the men^and wo men come back from fighting our battles. We already have plenty of laws in the City of Ca>mden, in the State of South Carolina and in the United States. ’ _ Strict enforcer^ent ^f those laws and the co-operation of everyone at home in the assurance of a sane and level system of living, even in war time, will solve our problems. It is up to the police, the sheriff, state officers, and federal agents to. enforce the laws. When arrests are made and the individuals are convicted we must not let the uncer tainties of a nation at war svt’ay us from meting out justice. The punishment must tfit the crime. A first offense ohen has more far-reaching effects than a second or third offense. Second and third offenses frequently are a- confirmation of the failure oif law enforcement officers and courts to do their duty in connection with a first offense. There is no logical reason for increase in juvenile de linquency and'erime in wartime, except perhaps the attendant emotional instability, which is an individual problem that can and must be solvedv _ - . The outer garments-of patriotism often cover, as Secre tary Ickes suggests,- the underwear of self-interest.. ' ■^Is it accidental'that the word, NEWS; contains the four lettera-'of the airections? -• • ' Fjghting a war is more important than reporting jt*but w^ are frank to admit that tl^ news coverage of tlie present conflict ^ould be improved; " ' , , • V Remember when the Japs and Nazis laughed at us, called uk soft and decadent, and bragged howthey'd biff the daylights out of the demo cracies? Remember*how they tried to deliver a sneak knock-out punch and had the peace terms all flg-ured out for Us? They were to be iht* lords; slaves. Let’s Shake Hands rith J. W.
