That is not much of a record to be proud of for those on the home front, enjoying high wages and salaries, safety and comparative freedom. • Perhaps the explanation can be ^found in the fact that the war bond campaign is still only at the half-way mark. Perhaps the people in Kershaw coun* ty will wake up before June 30, the date on which the Mighty Seventh campaign will close. Of course, the' men on the battle front know more about the horrors of war. Perhaps they have been convinced of the soundness of the investment. Every dollar they use to purchase* war bonds is reducing their chances of being killed or seriously wounded. It is unfortunate that the people at home haven’t had the picture brought home to them as con vincingly as the men who daily are risking their lives. War bond campaigns are peculiar. We on the home front get all hot and bothered and enthused when a campaign is announced, and the initial guns are fired, ^me of us may receive gold-plated buttons fronv. the treasury department or be awarded certificates for our efforts. We’ll walk down the main drag puffing out our chests. Ail these are things to be proud of, but the seem shallow honors when we read that others who are actually fighting to preserve our lives and freedom also are doing more on a home front job that right fully belongs to us cd^lians. The fact is even more arresting when we realize that the government is not asking us to contribute one red cent. In fact, the govermnent promises to pay us interest for the excess cash we feel like letting go for a few years. But that has always been the trouble with too many Americans. It’s fun to wave a flag and take part in the parade so long as it costs nothing and there is no danger of getting hurt. Unless this country can go over the top in the Seventh War Loan oompaign by many thousands of dollars more than the service men on the battle front have invested, it may as well admit failure. The mere satisfaction that a goal (has been met, even with many thousands of dollars drained from 4he meager pay of the service men, won’t mean much. ■ - ' '■ ^ MONUMENT TO ADAPTABILITY FOR THE ASKING... this booklet of six enchanting small homes and their kitchens Thelovrly home, sketched above, and five others appear in full color in thia Kelvinator booklet.

Bnbson Talks To The Adults Pete Gray, outfielder of the St. Louis Browns, first one- armed player to make the majors, is said to be the darling of the hearts of St. Louis fans and the dhief drawing card at the home games of his club. And that is as it should be. For a one-armed player who gets into the big time, even during a war, is a monument to adaptability. He has overcome a handicap that would stop any but a person of the ihighest determination. In fielding the ball Pete makes his catch, then tosses the ball in thfe air, shakes off his glove, grabs the ball and makes his pig. A special rule provides that if th^ ball touches the groiuind during this juggling scene he is not charged with an error. • But we believe that the greatest phase of adaptability is revealed in Gray’s batting. It is unnatural to hold a baseoall bat in one hand and still mo^ne so to swing it It is even more difficult to swirtg it accurately—until, of course, one gets used to it after long yearh of practice. But Pete is said to be able to hit ’em wherever they come—high, low, inside and out. And while most of his blows are short he makes up for it in speed. And upon occasion he has hit flies so long that they have scored runs. * Every one admires the fellow who overcomes a handi cap, and Pete . Gray has caused more interest than has any baseball player in^everal years.—The State. Babson Park, Mass., May 18.—Now that V-E Day has occurred, the many Q. I's. who will return to civilian life, will be anxious about veterans' education. They can be assured that their problems are being given deep thought. Both government and school authoritiee are conscious of their ob ligations to returning soldiers. They are equally conscious of the help needed from service men for continu ed promotion of world security. In that spirit may 1 offer a word to service men. Education is every man’s top in- vestment However, let us be speci fic. Tou may think that all you will need is information; but information is not education. Information is mqyely the raw material. The fin ished product is development of your brain. For |10 or up you can buy a dictionary which will inform you on every word ever uttered by the master minds of all agee. For |12S or up you can buy an encyclopedia which will inform you of every fundamental Idea known to datM Both a dictionary and an enerdo- pedLa are blue-chip, gilt-edge invest-, ments. I heartily recommend them. They put Into your possession more information than any man or woman could digest in a thousand years of daily study. However, you will not find among the pages of tiieee or any other reference book many stock divi dend checks or bond coupons. Words and even ideas are only scratches on the brain until you de velop the mentality and character to apply them. Mentality la what en ables you*to convert Information into action. Character Is what enables you to do things you don’t want to do when you don’t want to do them— the secret of success in any man’s world. This results in self-mastery— a most important requirement for health, income and happinees. Another great asset which most young people and many adults lack is a Philosophy of Life. As sea captain^ need to know the port for which they are heading, so students should have a program, purpose, and goal. Until then we should never be given a diploma. “Going to bed meutally’’ is the beet diagnosis of a malady which besets COMING ATTRACTIONS -^T— Camden Theatre joooooooooooooooooofooai FRIDAY-SAT., JUNE 1-2 “DILLINGER” The Career of the Most Notorious Outlaw of Our Times!

Dane Clark, Ray- mond Massey-and Alan Hale Alao News of cbe Oij too many investors and business men. It is what happens when the maturing mind meets current doubts and dilem mas. A business nutn may “retire”— in the sense of going to bed men tally—when he gets into a tax row with the government, quits under fire, and goes AWOL from active life. Dis couraged investors or executives real ly need a good dose of adult educa tion. It brings rejuvenation and res toration—the new discovery in the old quest for the fountain of youth. 'I'o regain that' school boy feeling, go again to school. All of us, soon or later, are at a spot where we must go ahead or fall, behind. The choice is to sit down, lie down, and do nothing—or begin the repair an^ modernization of out worn and run down brains. That may not be professional therapy, but it is eitremely pf^ctbjgJL advice. Invest in mental stimulus. No stock or bond, no real estate, savings account, nor insurance can safeguard (1) charact er, (2) health, (3) income. These big three are the fruit of education. Under the administration of politi cal-minded school boards, the public educational system is corroded and rusty. Wayward parents are acces sories. A generation of youngsters is Sloppy Joe in apparel, deportment, mentality and character. “Gradua tion” hen lost its meaning. Once the word implied a step forward—not a halt In education. The whole educa- tional system, from pre-nursery to post-graduate, needs reform. It Is the new ground, however, the fertile fields of adult education, which beckon most happily. Adult educa^ tion appears at present to hold out the optimum chance of maximum progress. Children, by nature, are somewhat superior “sponges,” nimbler learners. Adults, by very definition, are far superior in spirit and the will to learn and achieve. If you cry. No! to this claim, thereby you add one more condemnation of our educational system. For what is the purpose of education and of life Itself, if I today am nowise superior to the child I was?
