ON SECOND THOUGHT . . .
The strange sense of unreality that came with the an
nouncement recently of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima,
has passed.
At that time it seemed ‘as if the "funny” papers had
opened up, and that all of its weird fantasies had suddenly
come to life.
Today, after sober reflection, we know that Flash Gor
don and Superman are right back in the "funnies” where they
belong, and most of us are back again in this world, facing
the sarnie old realities that we have come to know so well.
No one in his right mind can deny the importance of the
atpm bomb. No one can doubt the achievement of those
American and British scientists who have succeeded in har
nessing atomic energy. Nor is there any doubt as to the
enormous prospect that has been opened up to future peace
time generation as a result of their work.
The war is not over for our American soldiers, sailors
and marines 'who are in the Pacific until they are home. It
can't be over on our home fronts until the need for supplies
and war materiel to sustain these figh^g^men no longer
exists.
It isn’t over until it's all over, and until that time our
troops need millions of tons of supplies and millions of cords
of pulpwood to provide the paper and papierboard for double-
wrapping and packaging them. Make no mistake nbout it, the
top quality pulpwood you cut now'still goes to war.
6OOD IDEA FOR CAMDEN
The Lancaster Merchants association wants its main
business streets kept clean and to that end ha^ addressed
an appeal to the city council to have the streets kept in a
spotless condition. They have promised complete coopera
tion which means that they are not sweeping the ^debris from
their stores and sidewalks into the street. They are not going
to pile up sightly cartons and paper boxes, etc., in front of
their stores. And they want the police to put a stop to the
dropping of banana peels, orange peels, etc., on the sidewalks.
It is interesting to observe the cleanup process here in
Camden. Every night the streets are swept. As the stores
open in the mornings, the process of sweeping them out is
started. The debris is swept out onto the sidewalk, then
with the accumulation swept from the walk, into the gutters.
Express and mail packages are opened and after the merch
andise is taken out, the empty boxes are dumped out on the
sidewalk to await the arrival of a city truck, which frequently
is many hours late.
JUNIOR BASEBALL AS IT SHOULD BE
The Woodruff-Columbia Legion series was hard fought
and fairly won by the upstate nine. The rivalry was keen
and clean, and while the Capital City fans naturally wanted
their own boys to be victorious, they were quick to give the
visitors full credit for their good playing. And now that the
South Carolina title has been settled. Woodruff will have no
better sui^orters than the baseball enthusiasts of Columbia.
It was a series devoid of the technicalities and bickering that
have marked some Legion Junior baseball battles in the past.
There were plenty of enthusiasm, some arguments over de
cisions of the umpires and the usual stuff that goes with a
hotly contested baseball game, but there were no unplesant-
ness between Woodruff and Columbia; nobody l^ng to rule
anybody out or anything like that. To Woodruff, congratula
tions for knowing how to win, and to Columbia, congratula
tions on knowing how to lose gracefully, in good humor.—^The
State.

The move to kill the OPA may be in your line of reason-*
ing, but those who study the issue say it means inflation
running rampant if not continued until the danger is passed.
It must continue to serve to administer the prise and rationing
of food stuffs to keep inflation in 'check. Congress would
place the responsibility in the hands of the Agriculture De
partment. ‘OPA must be maintained in some way.
There have been many blunders, much mismanagement,
there is no doubt, but some good will come from con^l, and
has come from it. We must not permit politics to decide, for
this is a subject too big and too important to allow party
jealousies to rule it. Voting any department down because
of grudges, will not improve a bad situation in meat and sugar
shortages. We must make improvements, adjustments, but
we must not entirely eliminate the control.—^The Hartsville
Messenger.

Soft Drinks Shortage
Explained by Morrow
With the setting of the new low su
gar quota for the soft drink indus
try, M. B. Morrow, Preeident of Royal
Crown Bottling Company, Sumter,
gave jnany reasons for the shortages
of carbonated beverages. Mr. Mor
row said, “A 26 per cent greater de
mand has been made by the services
for sugar. The Armed Serricee are
now claiming sugar at the rate of 220
pounds per capita per year. This
leaves only a little over 70 pounds
per/capita for civilian consumption.
War has completely ruined Europe’s
beet fields, and we must shart part
of our sugar supply to that area.
Strike# in Puerto Rico have hampered
sugar supply from that source. A
drouth and hurricane In Cuba hai cut
the amount of sugar available for U.
S. civilians about 30 per cent From
last year's sugar crop the United
States received' something over five
and one-half million tons; from this
year's crop less than four million
tons.” ^
As to a hopeful outlook for the near
future, Mr. Morrow stated, "we don’t
see any relief until the incoming crop
is harvested and processed, which will
probably be summer of 1946. In the
Warning Given
Government
About New DOT"
The Powet^J Insecticide Will
Require Unnsuel Care
By Users
^ Reports that amall amounts of
DDT, power-pecked new insecticide
will be released to civilians this
month, have evoked a double-barreled
warning to wonld-beaaera.
"Don’t be disappointed If yon can’t
get any DDT this year—mid tf you do
get some, be very carefnl with it,” is
the word from the government.
Tbe amount available, it is stated,
for hoosehold and farm nee, is very
small and its release Is hemmed in
by government restrictions. DDT
must be handled with much greater
care than is ususlly sccorded insecti
cides for the reason that it has violent
effects on insects and presumably
could be painful or fatal to both men
and animals if carelessly used. These
precautions are advised:
1. In general, apply DDT to crops
only where exposed parts are not
used for food. For example, it should
be safe to use on potatoes and sweet
corn, but beans had better be treated
only .^before they pod and cabbage
before it heads. On fruits such as
apples, do not apply DDT within a
month of harvest time.
2. Be careful about*applying DDT
directly to dairy cows or other ani
mals. Only certain forms of DDT,
applied in limited amounts, are safe
for such use. However, spraying bam
walls and cellinga is helpful in con
trolling flies. ,
3. Do not use DDT on crops that
are in flower, because honeybees and
other pollinating insects may be kill
ed by It
4. Do not come Into contact with
DDT more than necessary. Wear a
respirator fitted with a gaute filter
when applying it. Since DDT can be
absorbed by the skin, particularly in
oil solution, it la Important to wash
thoroughly wl^ soap and water after
using DDT.
5. Apply DDT in the right concen
tration and in the correct manner for
the purpose intended. If/directions
on the package are Hot clear, find out
exactly how to use tbe material before
'proce^lng.
One of the complications that is
encountered in using DDT on crops
sometimes brings on unusually great
plagues of those Insects It does not
kill, especially plant lice.
