This writer, hearing to the com plaints Toiced by sereral others who stopped letting their children go to the rink to skate becanse of the danger of haring them srtuck by the flying sticks to the youthfAl hockey eathnsissts; rialted the area last Tuesday aftsmoolk and spent an hoar In watching the akatera. It happened that this was the afternoon that a section of Laurens street is roped off for the skaters. Prior to the roping off of the street, the skaters used the rink and how the younger ehlldreu man aged to escape being hurt was a miracle. The hoys with the hockey clnbs were sU^orer the rink, spilling the.more yontiifnl akatmu and In general creating a rUIgn to terror for them. Then when the street was toien* sd, the hockey talent Immediately pre-empted it, forcing the younger skaters back to the rink. As soon as the street period was np, the hookey talent raced for the rink aad took over. Some intelligent program should be worked out ao that all to the children can use the rink for skat ing without the danger of being Injured by a flying chib, or by be ing knocked down Iqr aoae speed ing player.

W. Hnmphriee, chairman of the.loeal campaign committee. Dr. Humphries pledged the local committee to redoubled efforta fol lowing receipt to a lettar from Basil O'Connor, president to the National Fonndatloq, stressing the crucial Importance of the 1047 Marte of Dimes. The need to re- plenUh toads drahted in fighting last summer's epidemic which af fected more than 95,000 persons and was ths worst tn tee Fonnda- tion’e history Is more urgent than ever before, according to Mr. O'Connor. To assure eontlmiing care to pat- lente and build np adequate chap^ tor reserves for future epidemics, $19,000,000 is needed, Mr. O'Con nor said. Ths other half of the $24,- 000,000 minimum la required on the natlonaL level as follows: Epidemic aid reserve fond, $6,- 000,000; research and education, $6,000,000; general working fund, 12,000,000. "During the 1940 epidemic." Dr. Humphries said, "the $4,000,000 epi demic reserve fnnd of the National Foundation, prerlonsly oonsldmed adequate, was wiped out oompleUly by November In aiding chapters. By the end of tlw year approxi mately an additional $1,600,000 esr- marked for research had to be diverted for emergency aid to ful fill the pledge that "no one strick en by polio need go wlthont care fo^iack of tonda." Pointing out that thig community as every other In the nation must be adequately prepered for any emergency the tutnre may briny, the doctor concluded; "Let us doiible ous eontrlhutions now so we cante* prtpsired. We cannot gamUe with the Mfoty to onr children. By giving generously now ws will avoid fntnre eelf^ proach that we gave too little and too late when next snmmeris egl- demlo strike."^ Expect Record Turnout Of Members And Others At Annual Meetinf Of Xer- ahaw Unit Of State Body A Kershaw county general elee- tlOB January 28 to fill tee unex pired term of the late W.
