When'can we meet again on streams to argue, anglerwfte. To just what sore of pretty fly the rainbow trout will rise? Time was—now long ago it seems—when none, with need to earn, Were perch and pickerel plentiful, was oft our chief concern. And this our greatest problem was, on many a summer day. When none of us had a bite; should we go home or stay? 'Not now, until the war is won and peace is ours once more, Are we to spare the time to drift and dream, away from shore. We’ve graver problems on our minds 'till Hitler comes to terms. Than this: Are black bass taking frogs or hungering for worms? f —^Edgar A. Guest. STAFF SOT, HUGH 1*.

In a letter of congratulation and appreciation Morgen thau thanked the papers for their unselfish support of the drive. He cited the fact that greater advertising and edi torial support had been forthcoming on this drive than on any previous one despite the difficult paper shortage. The Camden public schools wUl open for the 1944-46 school term Tues day, September 5, according to J. G.

In fact, the Lancaster News states that this cotton market pro gram is worth all the money that has ever been expended on the merchant group. A total of $376,0(M) was paid to farmers who sold their cotton at Lancaster last fall. Practically every check was‘cashed in Lancaster and naturally most of the money thus received was spent with Lancaster merchants. Now the Lancaster Merchants association is busy seeing to it that the city ‘has as good a market this fall. IT CANT HAPPEN HERE—BUT IT WILL Those-Southerners who keep insisting that “it can’t hap pen here’’ would do w«ll to familiarize themselves with what has happened in Philadelphia in the strike of employees of the Philadelphia Transportation company. When the Fair Employees Practice committee, appoint- ^ by PreMdeht RooseveTt to’ prevenl racTal“3iwrimihatibn, ordered the Philadelphia Street Railway company to put on eight negro motormen, and the company complied, the white workers all went out on strike. The strike was completely effective and not a street car moved. War workers were unable to get to their work and production of w.ar materials was delayed. The agencies charged witl\ the conduct of the war naturally began to howl. Well, what happened? Was there a demand that the President’s Fair Employe,e8 Practice committee withdraw its demand upon the company to appoint negro motormen until later when war production was not so important, and then iet-tbe issue Joe fought out at a-time-when it would not affect the war? No—-all of the blame was placed on the white workers who had walked out. And then what w«s done? The United States Army was ordered out to force these employees to return to their work- an(J the leaders of the strike were placed under arrest. Don’t fool yourself that “it can’t happen here.’’ It can and it will if we sit quietly by.—Lancaster News. Yes, war bonds are the best investment in the world. They pay dividends in safety and 4he light to live as we please. pal; Lindsay Pierce, physical educa tion; Henrietta Zemp, E^ngllsh; Al berta Team, English and Latin; Marema Funderburke, Math; Irma Seagel, English; Odette West, history and French; Ethel Murchison, com mercial; Nancy Watts, commercial; Mary Morrison, librarian; Leonora Baldwin, science; Etenfei Hin8on,.home economics; Esther Bruce, math and readings; Willie P.

By the Center Reporter It is so pleasing that on every week end of late there has been Camden citizens who visited the Center to In spect its attractive setup and its equipment. It is hoped that many others will oome and see for them selves just why Cam#en should be proud of this project. Among the visftors this past week-end were several from out-of-town who were high in their praises of the Center. The number of visiting service men using the Center this past week-end was large, as has been the usual oc currence since the closing of the avia tion school here. A check-up showed that a large portion of these men are constant week-end visiters tO„Camden. They like Camden because of Its graciousness and peacefulness. It is this peacefulness that the boys re turned from overseas are seeking. You can not tell who all of this class are because for reasons of their own, Aey hanrnr their purple heart bars, but in the Cen ter one can easily spot them by the strained look on their faces. Ice cold punch was served tp all visitors Saturday night at the usual dance dnd Sunday during open house hours. A large number of club girls were present, but even at that the number was not sufficient. New girls are registering every week and old ones, who have been negligent in their Center duties, are returning, so it. U hoped there will soon be enough pres ent to help entertain the service men.
