A Worthy Cause
There is no more worthy appeal made
each year to the people of this country
than that for rupport of the fight against
infantile paralysis. Every American is or
should be interested in- stamping out this
disea-se which strikes down so many chil
dren each year, leaving them invalids,
sometimes for life.
The National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, Inc., which is leading in the
fight on this disease for which the
fund-raising campaign is conducted each
year, reporta that research which is going
now in eighty-three of the nation’s leading
universities brings it closer each year to the
ultimate answer to the catise of the di8»*a8e.
This foundation not only is searching
for the cause and for methods of preven
tion of infantile paralysis but it also pro
vides the necessary treatment for those
who have fallen victims to the dread dis
ease. This treatment very often results in
the almost complete rehabilitation‘of the
patient.
Kershaw county people have been very
liberal in their support of this campaign in
former years and they should be even more
liberal in their’support this year because
of the fact that within the last three
months .there have been five cases cases
of poiio in this county, one of them a wom
an 60 years old, and the national founda
tion has been taking care of these patients.
One never knows when an edidemic of
this drekded disease may strike and it is
good to, know that there is a national or-
ganization-ready to the aid of any
community in w’hich it might strike.
The Flying Saucers ^
The Plying Saucers which held the cen
ter of attention some time back have re
appeared thi.>^ time in Kentucky and Ohio.
In the latter state army air force officers
issued a formal .‘Statement admitting the
presence of a mytserious object in the sky
over Wilmington, Ohio.
In Kentucky a traveling man says he and
his wife and the latter’s sister were driv
ing .«50uth of Danville in that state when
ho noticed a flame in the sky—so bright
that he thought it w-as a plane burring.
Calling it to the attention of the others in
he car he the vehicle and they got
oiit-and watch^. More than 20 other mot
orists stopped and did the same within the
next ten minuteil
At Wilmington, Ohio, the army said that
two non-commissioned officers had watch
ed a flaming red-cone trailing green mist
hnng suspended in the air, occasionally
shooting up Q.nd dow'n with tremendeus
bursts of speed. It w’as w’atched by army
men and numerous other Ohio residents of
the neighborhood until it disappeared to
the .TOuthwest.
Some time back when these flying sau
cers were being seen on every hand some
people expressed the blief that they might
be Rus-rian weapons. Leftists hooted at the
idea but just the other day a congressman
expressed the same belief.
If the government knows the myster>’
of these saucers it should take the public
nto its confidence. If they are American
inventions the public should be told so. If
the government doesn’t know what they
are, it should be frank and say so.- ^
The Same Old Story
Four young scions of prominent Atlanta
families were arrested last week after they
had gone on a rampage destroying many
thousands of dollars worth of-property
just for the thrill of it. * ^
The proud parents of the boys were
humiliated and announced that they would
recompense the people whose property had
been destroyed. The boys were all arrested
and face serious charge ip court.
A prominent psychologist in Atlanta was
quoted by the newspapers as attributing
the,boys' deeds to lack of parental di?cip-
Jine in the past and to the fact that their
paurents had probably been too indulgent.
All of "wbich bears out Air remarks of
last week that the parents of today nuy

Feeding The Bear
, It is good to note that some of South
Carolina’s representatives in Congress are
making a war on our continued exports of
\ital materials to Russia. Representative
Joseph R. Bryson of the Fourth South
Carolina congressional district recently
listed some of the items which have been
•hipped to that country. The list included
millions of dollars in IdcdmotiVes, npnjng-
eQuipment, etc.y all of whicn_ are vital
necessities in war preparations.
Whereas official publicity on lend-lease
shipments to Russia was formerly wide
spread—"as aid to a great and friendly na
tion’’—today’s shipments are never men-
tioneef, except when some one objects to
them. v-
Another thing which is irritating South
Carolina congressmen is the dismantling of
indu.strial plants in western Germany and
their shipment to Russia.
The reason Congress has hesitated to
stop these practices, according to’a Wash
ington correspondent, is that jt would be to
break an official agreement with Russia.
What most Americans are wondering
now is why this country should live scrup
ulously to all of its agreements with Rus
sia when every one knows that Russia has
broken numerous agreements with this
country. It seems something like playing
the sucker role—and Americans are get
ting somewhat tired of playing that role.
They found from our playing that role
with the JLaps that it doesn’t pay dividends.
Commenting on the feeling in Congress,
Edward H. Sims, a Washington corres
pondent, says:
"All Senator Vandenberg had to of
fer in the last minute Senate debate
on this dismantling of plants was that
while he himself favored a stoppage,
such a move would be a repudiation
of a United States ^agreement at the
Paris conference promising friendly
European nations German reparations.
And so with Russia blandly doing all
in her power to belittle this country,
- humiliate its policies and blocking all
hopes of a peace, while at the same
time dictating to all her satellites ^nd
vif'lating every principle of the big-
power agreements, we continue out
true-blue policies as if all were rosy.—
"While this policy may please the
Idpallsts, there is n growing sentiment
among congressmen to be more prac
tical, to stop being played for.a suck
er. For instance it would be quite easy
for the state department to suspend
these actions - until'Russia had sati*i-
fied this country’s rights in agree
ments on other matters. The shipments
would not necessarily be ended—^just
^ suspended indefinitely if a fine point
is what the state department wants.
. "Most outspoken foe of these prac
tices is Senator Styles Bridges, of New
, Hampshire. Bridges recently stated in
his unsuccessful fight to halt them
that ‘I am not so damn stupid that I
want to send this equipment to Russia.
I’d blow them up instead.’ ’’
Russia has violateil nearly every princi
ple of the agreements made during the war,
all looking to the bringing of world-wide
peace so she would have no right to kick
if this country halted the shipments of sup
plies to' her, particularly when our own
country is suffering froni the lack of these
same supplies.
Will we ever quit playing the role of a
sucker?
Vaudeville Passes
Many old timers will shed a tear'at the
passing of vaudeville on Broadway. The
four-a-day lost its last stronghold when
Loew’s State theater at Broadway and
45th. street took the daily variety ?how
off the boards' for the first time in its 36
years of existence. From now on there will
be nothing but movies in the house.
In expftinaUon of the discontinuance of
vaudeville, an official of Loew’s said that
business wasn’t good enough to warrant its
continuance. He said that large salaries of
fered by radio and the films made it diffi
cult for vaudeville to compete with them
,for acts. «.
And so a favorite pastime of other years
is gone. There are many of lu who will miss
