Friday, July 27, 1M5 A WORTHY EFFORT Camden and Kershaw county completed the Mighty 7th War Loan* drive with a record subscription of bonds and ex ceeded its overall quota by some 160 per cent. At the last report, which gave figures up to and including July 7, the overall sales amounted to some $600,000, an excess of nearly $200,000 over the quota. The sale of E bonds soared to over $210,000, far above the assigned quota. All of which indicates the response by individuals to ^e war drive in the county was most gratifying. The fine record in the Seventh War Loan drive not only reflects the gendTous jesponse of the people of the community to the war effort, but represents a masterful job on the part of Chairman Marion Heyman, and the many men and women assooiated with him in this drive. Mr. Heyman has been chairman of every drive in the^ War effort and has done a fine job, a job that will stand out in the county war effort as most praseworthy. Evenr drive went over the top. The copgratulations of the public is ex tended to Mr. Heyman. WHO’S A SUCKER l^OW? Soil Conservatioii Notes ™.Y.JtrJI«yi.LEN They came and they saw and they conquered. “They” were the~ federal agents who descended on Camden early last week and picked off several score of nifotorists who both in tentionally as-well as unintentionally had neglected to pur chase a small federal use car tax sticker and attach same to the windshield of their cars. These gentlemen from the office of the Collector of In ternal Revenue, were courteous and polite—but they were also very firm. They did a iQasterful job of collecting, we are told, and it is also reported that a number of car owners wiho last year boasted that they were not “suckers” like a lot of us who paid for our use car tags, were among the penitents who faced the federal agents last Wednesday. Frankly we do not like the $5 use car tax—and there are a lot of our representatives in Congress who do not like it—but never-the-less we were glad to see the long arm of the law reach out and grab the guys who labeled some of us “suckers” last year. Our frank opinion of the use tax is that it is perhaps the most unpopular of any tax on the government records. We bought our stamp, licked it and attached it to our wind shield, but we did not do any wild hurrahing about it. We pay a city, county and state tax on our jalopy. We buy a license tax every year. We buy gasoline^that is taxed by the state nd the federal government. In other words, oui^ Ford groans under a tax lo^. The suggestion has been made that the government at tach this $5 use tax to the fee charged for license plates and then, be gorra, everyone will have to pay it. Or better yet, we suggest that the use tax be repealed. The tax load, as we stated is so hoavy on our four year old Liazie that we Sapt Richards, who has a tans in tha LosoCf Sectioa. raporta that ha has cat his Saricea Laspadasa twice thns Car this sasson and azpaets an- otbar enttins durlns tha aarly tall.

Cidet And now it has happened. A Richmond newspaper has adopted a rule in regard to referring to people by titles or former titles. The rule, posted in the city room of the paper and also published on the editorial page is as follows: “This newspaper will not ^ve anyone a title in print after he is discharged or has resigned from the service.” In other w^rds, Captain Smith, when he is no longer in the army, will be just plain Mr, Smith. The same, of course, applies to Colonels, Majors, Generals,'Admirals, Etc. W. G. Hazel, editor of The Pee Dee Advocate, published at Bennettsville, in commenting upon the action of the Rich mond paper- says: “This seems to me an excellent idea and many other newspapers have begun to use it. After all, there is no reason to call a man by a title he hq longer possesses, except the old southern custom of attaching a Co), or Capt. to pra^cally everybody of any distinction whatever. *T50Tne peo^6; •|■h■«V€ fmmd^-taHeK-a =g^aat doal of prida in military or pseudo-military titles.

I had to take his word for the Col. part of it, but I agreed with him absolutely on the ‘,*80 and So” part of it. “There are people who never get over a title, or possibly some small public job. They imihediately get the seat of their pants on their shoulder—and take the contents up with it. They are to be pitied, and I should not like to offend- such folk. I have known men who, having been magistrate at some time in their lives, have relished with the keenest pleasure being called Squire, and I have called them that be cause I knew they liked it, that is, orally. But let’s not clutter up the columns of the paper with obsolete or useless military titles after they have ceased to mean anything.” WHY NOT BOTH? *furse Sadie Freitag, and Lt. E. R. FrelUg.
