WHOSE CHILD IS NEXT? .
.Your child, my child—either of them may be next. They
are two of the 32,150,000 children in the United States under
16 years of age. Each one of these children is a. candidate for
infantile paralysis thi.s year. Your child and mine may be two
from the thousands who will wake up twisting and turning in
their beds as they bum with fever and struggle to straighten
spasm-drawn limbs. Yesterday their legs raced through a rou
tine .school day* and perhaps a dozen games of their own in
vention.
Today their legs won’t work. This is infantile paralysis.
It picks ita victims from this w'ealthy home, chat tenement —
from farms, war production centers, children of our fighting
men, small towns and large cities. All children are equally
defenseless agaii\st this enemy. Regardless of what each child
has known before, each one stricken by the crippling virus
will feel the same fear of the unknown. More children con
tracted infantile paralysis in 1944 than in any comparable
period in many recent years.
But, because of the efforts of the thous£(nds of our volun
teers, each tragedy-hit child will have .every. chajicefqfYecqv-
ery through the complete scientific aid provided by The Nat
ional JF'oundation for Infantile Paralysis. Remember this when
you are asked to contribute to the March of Dimes, which be
gan January 14 and will continue through January 31, in Cele
bration of the President’s Birthday, and contribute with one
hand in your pocketbook and the other on your heart.
MenrtM'rs of the Grace Episcopal
church congrefatioa at the Sunday
morninjt senrice were accorded a
unique and interesting treat when
three yettng men. meBbere o( the

demonstrated that they can score

For Tommy Ancrum, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas Ancrum; Shannon
Lindsay, son of Mr. and Mrs. Nettles
Lindsay and Donald Campbell, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Donald Campbell took
over portions of the Episcopal ritual
at the 11:15 o’clock service as a ges
ture of cooperation and affection to
ward the rector. Dr. Maurice Clarke,
who is convalescing from a serious
illness.
Tommy Ancrum read the psalms
while the reading of the I^essons was
divided between Shannon Liiidsay and
Donald Canlpbell. The boys read
clearly and distinctly and with deep
religious mien.
The appearance of the young men
in the service ritual pleased the mem
bers of the congregation and the boys
were showered with sincere compli
ments of appreciation after the serv
ice.
Dr. Clafke who has been obliged
to forego a major part of his church
activities because of illness which
came upon him after the Christmas
services, was elated over the way the
boys acquited themselves and has

There is mor*e power in the open hand than in the clench

KEEP FACING IT
A tramp when asked his philosophy replied: “1 turn my
back to the wind.” That’s probably why he was a tramp.
Following the line of least resistance is what makes rivers,
and many men crooked. A man cannot drift to success. And
we cannot drift to victory in this war.
In contrast we like the words that Captain MacWhit
spoke to his mate in Joseph Conrad’s immortal tale of the sea,
“Typhoon.” In the mid.st of*a great .storm, MacWhit said:
’^Keep'Taclng it! They may aay-what th^ the heaviest
.seas run with the wind. Always facing It. That’s the way
to get through.”
The trees that face the winds on the coasts become the
.straighteat and tallest. From them are made the masts and
spars of .sailing ships. The scrubs, grow in the protected val
leys. Strength and power is built up through facing resist-
-anc«r
over frequently.
The sermon and prayer were offered
at the Sunday service by Dr. (Harke.
John A. Gregory
Wounded 2nd 'Bme
Mrs. John A. Gregory of this city,
has received a telegram from the war
department informing her that her
husband. Pvt. John A. Gregory, was
slightly wounded in action in Ger
many Dec, 4. Pvt. Gregory was seri
ously wounded in France Jqly 13 and
remained in a hospital in England
until October 20.
He Is now In a hospital In England
receiving treatment for the wounds
he received In France In July. Pvt.
Gregory has been in the army la
months.
“Keep facing it” is a good motto for today. There is no
sense* in kidding ourselves; wishful thinking must go. We
have a tough war to win and the only way we can win it is
by facing the facts and the difficulties heroically. Whether
the going is rough or smooth we can’t turn back now. We
must keep plowing ahead into the storm. As we go on, facing
whatever comes, we will grow in endurance and in courage.
We will win because we deserve to win.
Laziness grows on people; it begins in cobwebs arid ends
in iron chains.—Sir M. Hale. ,

Interpret Spirituals
Emanuel Mansfield, one of Amerl-
ca’a forcnioat tenpra, will present a
varied program in Browning'a auditor
ium, January 25 at 8 o'clock in the'

tic and expressive way of presenting
all types of song, he, has an unusual
gift for interpreting the Spirituals.
The classics, lyrics, and novelty num-
Ijera are given with the same depth
of fr^ltng, and beauty of expression.

Effect Chaises
In Santee-Cooper
Robert M. Kennedy, Jr., for four
and a half years executive officer of
the South Carolina Anthority has
prepared a bUl for submission to the
Hquse Tharjiday morning • that will
create no end of discussion and con
jecture throughout the state. Involv
ing as it does, marked changes in the
Santee-Cooper organisation setup.
The bill frill change the terms of
the board of directors from seven to
four years and will require that no
officer or empk>yee shall engage in
any other buslnesa or professioa
either as individnals or In partner
ships, or that they sbaU be a member
of any legislative body during their
term of employment with the Santee-
Cooper. This latter provision does not
apply to the directors.
The bill will also fix the scale of
salariea to be paid ceruin officers of
the Santee-Cooper.
Another drastic change that would
be in effect if the provisions of the
bill become law will provide that
Santee-Cooper power *han be sold to
South Carolina cooperatives at cost,
and that the power so sold shall tnot
be transmitted beyond the borders of.
the state.
Robert M. Kennedy, former Camden
mayor and JIFomlnent in all civic af-
fairs was named as one of Kershaw
County’s House members at the elec-
Jlon last summer.

days. The • bridge was built with a
block and tackle arrangement* and a

Rush, a former employee of the
State Highway department in South

mountain trails Ih northern Italy are
a far cry from the smooth highways
of the Palmetto State.
I “Sometimes our trails lead through
mine fields under enemy small arms

are always mined If the Germans haye
