But he had 70 chances outsof a'hundred of dying of shock. That shock Ls not nece8sary^^hat pain is not necessary. “Any South Carolin^bshousewife in three minutes could have saved that boy from she _k lihd pain by properly pre paring just two tin cans—^bw^se the pure tin in the two tin pans will make the tiny tin vu^e to hold the morphine to kill pain and shock. “South Carolina moDi^ would^^ve their diamonds to save their boys, but only one Tn^six win give iher pure tin from her lowly tin cans. Why mothers?^^hy? Remember a tiny tin tube of morphine kills shock and pain—shock and pain kill South Carolina boys.” with . a few weeks ago Miss Ruth Rozier won a 125 war bond for collecting 1400 pounds of waste paper. Second waa Virginia Rabr with 1004 pounds, and third was Betty Oaten with 589 pounds. Prizes were given to the second and third places. W’e hope now that this campaign Is over that the children will not relax their effort but continue to bring in scrap paper'.to the school. Red Cross Notes THE KNOCKOUT PUNCH As Uncle Sam and his Allies prepare for the knocl^t punch on the enemy, it is urgent that he have all possim materials for peak production. By salvaging every tin can, Camden and Kershaw county housewives will help provide bliese materials.' The local sahrage committee is <Mrganized to handle the collection of tin cans so that there may be a smooth steady flow back to the mills. Housewives SHOULD PREPARE their tin cans properly so that they can be col lected with ease and dispatch. They can telephone Frank Sheheen at the Sheheen Grocery for any information they may need. DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSION I. A friend of ours who publishes the Shawano County Journal up in Shawano, Wis., had the following editorial to offer his readers a few weeks ago: “Can'a person be a good Christian without ever attend ing church services? “That’s the question that was being discussed-'a few mornings ago by two persons. When w’e were asked to give our opinion, we replied something like this: “We never knew a big league baseball team that didn’t hold batting practice. The local high school basketball team has won four consecutive games, yet the boys are out there with their coach almost every night of the week seeking per fection. Even the professional Green Bay Packers after a long regular season, practiced diligently for tw'o or three weeks for the championship play-off against the New York Giants. “We do not recall ever seeing a boxing match, a horse race, a track meet or any other competitive sports event in which the participants had entered without practice. “We never heard a declamation, an oration, a debate, a quartet, a musical number rendered by persons who did not practice. “Can a pei^n'be a good Christian without ever attending church services?

Farm Loan Group To Hold Annual Meeting SPEED OF BEAR The speed with which bifds and animals can travel usually aroused popular interest. One animal of whose veloci ty Httle.has been gathered is the bear family. And it was left to a citizen of our sister state of North Carolina to furnish a certain bit of information on the subject. Jim Roa is quoted by the North Carolina state news bureau to -have “clocked” a black bear with his automobile on a road that passed between two w’ater-filled canals in a .wampy region. Bruin w’as met in the road, and as the metor- ist approached he trotted ahead of the car, apparently pos- ^ssing an allergy to cold water. The driver speeded up, and the bear went into a gallop, reaching a speed of 18 miles an hour before making up his mind to plunge into the water. Outdoor >4Titers have described speed and enduranc *. of bear over rough country, declaring that they could keep ahead of any bqt the fastest, specially trained horses, but this islhe first definite information on his speed that we have observed.—^The State. The annual meeting of the Camden National Farm Loan auocUtion will be held at 2; 30 o’clock p. m.. in the Agricultural building at Camden on Feb. 28. 1945, A. C. Bradham. eecre-| tary-treasurer, has announced.
