“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.

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? -•

conflict ^ould be improved; " ' , ,
