»AQE EKIHT THt CAliOEN CHRONICLE, CAMDEN, COUTH CAROLINA, FRIOAV, MARCH 17, t>44 Anyone Got Extra Can Opener; Give It To Boy Scouts Will Be Used To Prepare Cana . Turned In By Laxy Houaewirea. The County_ QsfeuBe Council offi cials are appealing to the Camden housewlvea to cooperate in the Boy Scout tin can collection which wil get under way immediately. An appeal was made also for the donation of any extra butterfly can openers to the Eicouts in order that the boys who make the tin can collec lion may be able to prepare the cans which lazy housewives have not taken care of. These cans must have the ends cut out and paper soaked off and (hen flattened Iwfore they can be turned In to the government as salv age. Quite a few housewives who do not take the time to prepare the cans are responsible for the, slowing up of the tin salvage operations. If one or more butterfly openers can be secured for the Scouts, the unprepar ed cans .can be taken care of after col lection. ^ The Defense Council also requests that the housewives redouble their efforts toward the fat collection. Through the fine cooperation of Coo ley Gillis, who has donated the use of one of his trucks, Frank Sheheen of the Shebeen grocery is able to trans port the fats collected here to Co* • lumbia. People who have waste paper which they desire to turn over for salvage purposes may have same picked up if they will communicate with Cooley Gillis, Phone 70. DIED ON MARCH 1st, 1044 In the passing of Martha Shannon Spann in her 03rd year, thi# commun- tty has lost a most outstanding wo man. A long life of generous think ing and living, of charity and gentle ness far above the average life. A daughter of Mr. Thomas English Shan non and his wife Elizabeth Halle, her early marriage to Dr. James C. Spann, of Sumter county, carried her into the old fashion plantation life of generous hospitality and unlimited comfort. Re turning to Camden in her old age, she brought tBTO lhs life dr aff il!At~weT6 privileged to know her the same high standards of. Christian living and thinking. Truly her life has taught us the grace of high thoughts and tolerance to others. May peace Eter nal be hers. — Contributed. “A” Cards Cut To 2 Gallons AU Over U. S. OPA Rereala Extenahre Gaso- line Black Market .c* ■ Washington, March 14.—The “A" card gasoline ration today was low ered to two gallons a week for_^the entire country, effective March 22, because of imminent “critical de mands" and a gigantic black market which is draining 2,600.000 gallons dally from the restricted civilian sup ply. ^ The action means a one-third cut in basic family car rations for all parts of the country except the East ern ebaboard where the “A” ration al ready is two gallons weekly. Accompanying the order was an other tightening of restrictions for is suance of “B” coupons to five states of the Pacific coast area—California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Ari zona—so that holders of “B” books cannot get additional "B" coupons to make up for the lowered value of “A” coupons. ‘‘B” card holders in the .^ection lyj ing between those five states and the Eastern, seaboard, however, will be allowed some additional gasoline. The supply situation is not so tight there as it is in the coastal sections. The *‘B" coupons are loletf for Oc cupational driving. Simultaneously with Issuance of the orders, the OPA made sUrtling charg es as to the extent of counterfeiting of gasoline ^ ration coupons. Calling it the “biggest criminal racket ever to blanket the country,” Shad Poller, director of gasoline rationing enforce ment, declared. Fifteen per cent of “C” coupons turned in by filling sta tions are counterfeit. Since the first of the year. Poller said, OPA enforcement agents have arrested 246 i>ersons for violations of gasoline rationing, but be declared the racket “cannot be really whipped” without public support Recalling that Allied airmen have dropped counterfeit rationing books in Germany as part of the effort to un dermine the enemy’s economic struc ture, Poller said the black market in gasoline threatens to wreck America’s own wartime economy.

Once at the airlield, the youngsters were taken directly to the flight line, where they received a comprehensive lecture on airport safety and cockpit proce dure in flying an airplane. The rest of the day was spent on^the drill field and athletic fields. Alf In all it has been a strenuous period of training. It was all Burned up by one of the squadron commanders who said. “It is true that the boys are^ profiting greatly by aviation, but with those eager, hardworking jioungsters it also becomes a case 'of aviation profiting greatly by them.” Yesterday Ralph L. Patton, organi zational vice president of the Buy Eagles, who will make the presenta tion of the Advancement Cards, said,’ “It has not beep easy for these young men. Three months ago, when we started this organization with some 20 members, we retained a little doubt as to whether these boys, as young as they are, would develop enough In terest In the courses of study, which are difficult, to stick it out.” Mr. Patton added. “The fact that they did stick it out speaks for itself, because. Just think of it, over 40 of these boys, none of them over twelve and most of tests with a more than satisfactory grade.” • FOR SALE—1933 Ford SUtion wagoiE Can be seen at Central Service 8t» tion. 60-62C FOR SALE—1936 Packard 4-door se dan, Just overhanled by Olbbes Ma- cblnery company.
