The answer came quickly and surely from one lad: “Learn how to live for the things^ for which we die.” I heard that story during a-recent trip when I had the privilege and pleasure of addressing young people in colleges throughout the South, and of talking with them in their class rooms. To me it expresses just what the youth of today is trying to translate into action. I rise in tribute to the clear thinking, high idealism of these, young people. There was none of the wildness I had been told J should find, none of the impatience or intolerance with conditions. They were both level-headed and^farsighted, realistic and idealistic. , , The young people of today are learning how to live for the things for which our boys—^their brothers and sweethearts —are dying. They face their problems in this light. They are eager to understand those problems. Their questions are intelligent in the extreme, their speech measured. They face the fact that their lives may be different from their dreams, but they already know the truth that their eiders stumbled over, that no man is free unless all men are free; that all must serve in a democracy; that special privilege and special discrimination are alike a denial of our basic faith; that true democracy cannot long exist in the face of ' basic injustice. They are determined that the worl^ of tomorrow be ? better world for all people, that cooperation be the key to peace and prosperity. They are not ashamed of being ideal istic. They know they cannot Jjve at another person’s ex- pehsei that each must shape his own life; that the only way- to have a friend is to be one; that that action is best which procures the greatest happiness for the greatest numbers. They do not overlook the past, but they are not afraid of the future. They are mentally prepared to face it. There is no hatred. But there is determination to solve this problem of war. They believe in fighting for those things that are right but they are determined to take preventative measures at the first sign of tyranny. They know in what sort of a world they want to live, and they are determined to bring it to pass. My heart is at ease about the future when I know that/ minds and hearts such as these will have a great part in shaping the world of tomorrow.—By Ruth Taylor.

Per Capita food buying rose eight per cent in the United States, six per cent in Canada and fell off 11 per cent in Britain. Per capital expenditures for clothing rose twenty-five per cent in the United States and Canada, w;hile dropping 33 per cent in Great Britain. Individual diet in calories increased eight per cent in Canada, four per cent in the United States and dropped two per cent in Great Britain. Moreover, the report says the British diet was maintained only by augmenting use of cereals and potatoes which made it difficult to provide variety. Times and Democrat, Orangeburg. with ex-service men who are inter ested in veterans affairs, are urged to attend the meeting. All service men are urged to at tend the regular armistice day exer cises which are to be held in Hamp ton Park on the morning of Monday, Nov. 12 at 11 o’clock. Red Points Are Beginning To Look Green Volunteer Fans Form Committee To Aid Sports Will Take Over Supervision ' V And Maintenance of the Playing Areas Supei^ision of the Camden football and baseball fields has been volun tarily undertaken by a civic commit tee consisting of Donald Morrison and T. O. Boykin, as co-chairmen, Corbett Boykin. W’ylie'Hogue, Glisten Huggins, James Raley, Dallas Ma^ honey and Frank H.‘Heath. The eight-mau group has. with the consent of Supt. J. G. Richards, Jr., «f the public school system, taken Inver all details of the care and main tenance of the football field and will extend their supervision to the base ball field early in the spring. * One of the objectives of the com mittee is to relieve the high school officials of the supervision of the field. As soon as the season is over the yard markers will be repainted * and stored away for next fall’s games. The fencing will be repaired and doors and gates locked. No trespassing signs will be placed on the fence about the field and people caught in tke enclosure or buildings adjacent will be. punished to the fullest extent of the law. During the summer the grass will be cut regularly and early next fall, fertiliser will be utilized in . bringing the turf of the gridiron to perfection for the football season. The habit of certain groups of utilizing the grandstand as a gambling arena will be stopped, the commit tee states. Early next spring work will be started on the baseball field to have it In shape for the opening of the * baseball season, when It is hoped that Camden will be represented with a high school and an American Junior I>eglon team. K T. O. Boykin, one of the committee ' members, frill seek to hare a B foot ball team at the high school next season. Mr. Boykin believes that a B team would provide an excellent feeder fur the regular high school football program from year to year, lie points out that a majority of the other high schools in the state have B teams. Mr Richards characterized the com mittee plan for the supervision of the football and baseball fields as being outstanding. “It will certainly help us a lot," he added. Mayor F. N. McCorkle declared the idea was “worth while," and that the city would be glad to cooperate to the fullest in the work of the committee. The members of the Camden foot ball squad and the cheer leaders were given a turkey dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. O. Boykin on Fair street last week, Wednesday evening, the Boykins and the Warren Arnolds being the hosts and hostesses for the evening. The living room and dining room of the Boykin home was decor ated w’lth fall flowers and foliage and the gold and black of the school col ors. Other guests invited were Eliz abeth Anne Graham, Betty Nell Bow ers and Morty Muller, The Camden Floral company donated flowers for the occasion.
