A TRIBUTE TO YOUTH
Just before they went overseas, a group of soldiers was.
asked what they would say to the youth of the nation if they
had only one minute on the air. 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.

WAR HIT ENGLAND HARDEST
An official study of the economic impact of war upon
the United States, Canada and Great Britain, 'published by a
board of the three governments as an historical document of
the war, shows that individuals in the United States and
Canada increased their purchases of consumer goods and
services from ten to fifteen per cent during the war years,
while British expenditures dropped fifteen to twenty per cent
1 loVol - - - -
Some specific figures show the great difference in the
effect of the war in the three countries. 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.

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.
Tanks Give Lesson
American tanks are giving the
railroads a few lessons that will
greatly improve postwar transporta
tion. Introduction of triple-acting
hydraulic shock absorbers on tanks
proved so effective in easing jolts
and improving' gun accuracy that
today every new tank has thenj. By
cushioning the shock of riding over
rough terrain, they keep the chassis
level and help keep the guns di
rected at the target-j^'
