HED kAtHER BE RIGHT
It is easier to forgive, errors in judgntent when correc
tions has been made than to forgive those compromises of
high purpose.
In every gathering where politics are discussed one hears
loud wails to ^e effect that President Truman has put a spike
in his twlitkal coffin because he had the guts to take drastic
action in an emergency.
It is a sorry commentary on the principles of the Ameri
can people that„.our president idiould have to face political
condemnation l^ause he had the courage to act as he did.
His action in seeking to get action of a drastic nature
that ^ould be for the best interests of all of the people is a
(Simulating inspiration. More stimulating because he tossed
political expediency to the four winds. He wanted no com
promise any program that would undermine the foundations
of American democracy.

training in California as a scout dog
and served in that capacity in the
Burma campaign with Merrill’s ma
rauders- After tbs’ war was over he
did sentry duty at airfields and am-
munitioA dumps near Ledo.
Tony’s original handler came home
on points in October 1946 but Tony
was ill at that time and could not
accompany him back to the states.
However he tdok to his new handler,
who had sent his dog home with
Tony’s former master. Tony proceed
ed to carry on with his usual eager
ness and obedience.
Early in December the command to
which Tony was attached received
word that the Joh was done and to
get re^y to move homeward. At this
time the unit had only 20 men left.
There were 20 dogs listed and four
of them had a contagions disease not
found In the United States, so they
had to be destroyed before the unit
set sail.
Again Tony had to part from his
handler, this' time because the sol
dier did ««(ot have the necessary num
ber of pmnta.
Captain Hawley had anticipated
thU situation so ho kept Tony with
him whenever he was not on duty.
The captoin and Tony became fast
friends, Tony remaining with the cap
tain while awaiting near Calcutta for
their ship for the States and the long
sea. voyage home. In order to get
to Calcutta Captain Hawley had to
deactivate the unit and load the men
and dogs into C-47’8 and make the
Jaunt by air. From Calcutta Tony and
the captain with eight men and dogs
made the trip home on the Northeast
em Victory, leaving there December
23. The captain says they were all
treated royally on the ship. None of
the dogs experienced seasickness'bat
some of the men did.
After docking at Providence, R. I.,
the men and dogs went to Front
Royal, Va., where the dogs were quar
antined for SO days and put ^rough
a detraining period, the length of
time of which depended on the dog.
j’Tony was taken to civilian life like
a duck to water and gets along fine
with other three dogs and Dixie Boy
kin’s Springer Spaniels. He also kgs
become a familiar figure on the cam
pus of the University of South Caro
lina where Mr. Hawley is taking
some post graduate work.

at the Camden ban lot throat costly
Infield errors.
Foy In particular pitched a beautJ.
ful game^ yielding but two eerateb
hits In six Innings. In as much aa the
game was a praetloe affair, there was
nothing to ^n in a victory and
Coach Pleree eleeted to make numy
changes In his lineup at the start of
the seventh but the new arrivals
headed by DnBoee did not dock with
the precision of the startlag lineup.
DuBose, who has the reputatkm of
bd^ a splendid kid hurlMr gbt by the
seventh but a walk aad a passed ball
coupled witlr an error by Shirley
yielded a run. Ih the eighth another
run came in but wae due to two eoet-
ly bobbles by the thirdjMuseman plus

In the ninth the Gamecock gang
really got down to work. Phillips

singled to score Pritchard and when
Stokes singled after Beard had filed
out Hatfield . came- home. Sumter
scored its first run In the first In
ning when Hatfield who had been
soaked In the arm stole second and
scored on Beard’s single. A second
run was racked up in the sixth through
a combination of errors and a stolen
base. Three Sumter players got first
because of being hit by a pitched ball.
Camden made six errors, four at third
base. Sumter made three errors but
they were not costly. Camden had
