THE NEED IS NOW
The Kershaw County Red(. Cross chapter today faces the
immediate and urgent task of recruiting hospital, workers who
will aid in healing the wounds of war in army and navy
hospital.
The nation-wide American Red Cross goal of 3,000 work
ers—more than the total now on duty in this country-—must
be added to the staff during July to care for increasing
thousands of returning war casualties.
Of the 3,000 workers to be recruited by Red Cross chap
ters, at least 760 must be trained social workers. Toward
that end, the National Conference of Social Work will work
through 77 regional meetings and'Red Cross chapters to plan
recruitment from the social-welfare profession. In addition.
Red Cross chapters must recruit the remainder—^00 recrea
tion workers and 1,650 untrained or partially trained workers
to assist in case work under professional guidance.
This is not a temporary need.
America’s wounded will neither automatically shed
crutches nor rise from hospital beds, healed, the moment
the long-awaited victory is proclaimed. They will not forget
the war they have seen, nor bury their apprehensions of a
future to be lived under physical handicap. Many, like those
of the last war, will require prolonged hospitalization. Hos
pital shibs, planes and trains will not cease to run; doctors
and nurses will not abandon the wards.
This is a need which will continue over a long postwar
period. This is ^personal need.
It’s for the sons and neighbor’s sons of Kershaw county,
and of the next county, the next state—for your soldier, sailor
or'marine, multiplied by many thousands. Whether you are
'professionally trained or not, call the Kershaw County Red
Cross chapter, phone 96, today. The need is now.

The State does not know w^ Elliott Roosevelt was lent
$200,000 by John Hartford. ^
From reports, the adventure proved to be a bad business
proposition, and all Mr. Hartford got bdtk was about $4,000.
Therefore, he charged the loan o6 as a bad debt.
Reference is made to the fact that the late President
knew the transaction was being made.
Our point is that we see no reason to drag Franklin D.
Roosevelvs name into the deal. He is not (here to present
his side. We trust there will be no effort to smear his record.
Let the matter be argued out among the living, if there is any
need to argue it out at all, which we doubt—-Columbia State.
One who signs herself “Anxious’’ asks the medical pub
licist why her husband grinds his teeth horribly at night.
Maybe he's practicing up for meat.
These knock down and drag out wars, in lieu oi(f formal
surrender, certainly prolong the need for War Bond support
WSM Grand Ole
Opry, Here July 12
Unde Dave Macon, the grand old
man of ibe Grand Ule Opry, and one
of the moat picture eque and popular
Btara of the famed folk music radio
show, is playing this aeaaon with the
Jamup and Honey WSM Grand Ole

going to retire to hla Rutherford
County farm stl3*Take things easy. In
cidentally, the old gentleman has
three sons and a grandson ^ In the
armed forces overseas.
This mobile unit of the WSM Grand
Ole Opry radio show which origin
ates In Nashville, Tennessee, has the
sanction of the Office of Defense
Transportation and Is one of the fin
est shows of Its kind on the road.
Everything possible has been dons
for the comfort, convenience and en
joyment of the audiences. The big
new tent is air-cooled, and Incident-
wily, It la ‘the only air-cooled tent on
tour In the South. An Improved seat
ing arrangement has been worked out
with new equipment and there are
ample general admission seats in ad
dition to those which are reserved at
a small additional charge.
^ince the first Saturday night, in
l^vember, back in 1#J6, the WSM
Grand Ole Opry has been on the air
each Saturday night with a wealth of
down-to-earth folk music and homey
humor. For all these yeiurs. Uncle
Dave has been an Opry fixture. Per-
haps that Is the reason for his huge
following.
With his plug bat. gates-a-]ar-col-
lar, foatee, gold teeth, three banjoea,
million dollar smile, and «the loodeat
voice in radio, he is most at ease
when entertaining.
Along with his Saturday night radio
work. Uncle Dave also likes to troupe
vHth tent show units In the summer.
He says It enables bUn to get close
to his friends and gives him a chance
to shake hands with them kg folw
from town to town with the tent.
Over In’ Sumter, In a spacious
building on North MaHEstreet, there
la a place fcalled “The\lang-Out’'
This writer, while awaiting the
Installation of seat covers on hil.
lalophy ■ by a firm in Sumter strolled
down to view this “Hang-Out,” which
la in understandable language a “teen
age' Canteen.”
We were astounded when informed
that this Hang-Out has a membership
of over 600 high school students and
others In^ their teen age.
The building, a large affair, was
given for the teen-age canteen pur
pose by Mayor Edwin Boyle. A. T.
Heath and W. B. Covlng^n. .
The teeners literally “run the place”
under the supervision of a chief hos
tess. who happens to be a Mrs. Doug
las McKeown. There Is something
going on at the canteen every after
noon and on Friday and Saturday
nights. Not infrequently there are
dances with music by' teen-age mn-
sljctans. (
Besides dancing there Is bowling,
ping pong and a snack bar for the
entertainment and enjoyment of the
young people.
Talking with several teen-agers
who were. In the canteen when we did
our snooping, we learned that every
one of the more than 600 members
declare It to be “tops.” “All we need
now to make things one hundred per
cent is a piano,” said one of tre young
men. “Now, when we have a dance
we have to move a piano In, and then
return It afterwards. But we have
hopes of having one loaned to iis
within a few weeks.”
qur inquiries elicited the fact that
the canteen is conducted in a most
orderly manner and that the parents
of the young people are Just as pleas
ed over the affair as their children.

Preparation of Food for Canning
From the can is taken exactly the
product that went into it. Canning
does not improve the quality of any
product.- Therefore, care should be
taken in selecting fruits and vege
tables, actijal preparation for canning
and the canning procesa.
Some foods are often prepared for
canning the night before and no
means of refrigeration is provided.
The deterlation that occurs during
this period causes the product to
“flat sour” and this type spoilage ia
usually hot discovered juntll the can
is. opened.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) Is the
vitamin most easily destroyed. It Is
lost upon heating by oxidation and
upon storage and age. If beans, to
matoes ' and other green and yellow
fruits and vegetables ace exposed to
air, a great percentage of this vitamin
that cannot be stored in the body is
lost
The way to insure a good product
is to gather the fruit or vegetable
“garden fresh” and can It as soon at
possible. •

The . present poliycal campaign In
England growing out of the recent
resignation of Prime Minister Win
ston Churchill and the efforts of the
labor party to prevent his re-election
Is of much interest in Camden for the
reason that Lord- Beaverbrook, fiery
British newspaper publisher, is work
ing hammer and tongues In the Inter
est of'Churchill.
For Lord Bqaverbrook is none other
than William Maxwell Altken, son of
a retired Presbyterian minister who
with his v^e and children were win
ter guests in Camden over a period
of years.
llie first two years the Altken
family were in Camden they occu
pied the cottage on Green street
which they rented from Col and Mrs.
E. C. Von Tresekow. Later they oc
cupied what is now the home of Col.
John Wall on Green street. ’The
senior Aitkens. lived a retired life
when in Camden but their children
took part in all of the social ac
tivities. ,
Lord Beaverbrook is Canadiu
while Winston C^urchUl k
American and half British, Ui
er having been a restdeat tt

picture of two Americans
for the best interests of the
Empire.
