THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1937. Lighten Up on “Relief.” For the first time in several years there is said to be an increasing short age of farm labor end comparatively high wages are being offered to induce the laborers to return to the farms. This being true, it seems like a migh ty good time to lighten up on “relief work” in this and other sections and force those who have left the farms _4md drifted into the towns and cities 'lo return to the country. It is manifestly impossible to con tinue to keep able-bodied people “on relief” at the expense of the burdened taxpayer when there are jobs open on the farms and elsewhere, and the quicker the various relief organi sation heads realize this fact, the better off all of ue will be. An accurate check chould be kept on all the “relief clients” and when one is found to have refused to accept private employment, he or she quicker, the better off all of us will be. An accurate check shouli be kept on all of the “relief clients” and when one is found to have refused to ac cept private employment, he or she should be promptly stricken from the relief rolls. n Helping people when they cannot help themselves is one thing—keep ing them on the public payroll at “boon-dogging” jobs when their ser vices are needed in gainful occupa tions is another.

Last summer when the thermome ter was hesitating between 101 and 108, I earnestly craved good old winter time. I yearned for the cold snaps that would make a person call for more “kiwer,” and put the idea of wearing longer and heavier ones into his head. J. B. White £ TO HOLD ANOTHER But the other morning’s winter weather was not the kind I had in mind. I ate breakfast in comfort, thanks to the furnace, but when I got up and donned my overcoat and spats and muffler and wool socks, and other Arctic paraphernalia, upon the dmand of the wife, and opened the front door to exit, I immediately de sired the good old summer time. 3 Now is the tipie for the Barnwell city council to enact an ordinance gov erning the sale and use of fireworks. Local merchants have disposed of stocks bought for the 1936 Christmas trade and no great hardship will be worked on them if sales are restrict ed in 1937. In fact, many observers believe that sales of Christmas mer chandise will be increased, as nothing disperses a crowd of Christmas shop pers as quickly as does the promis cuous shooting of cannon-crackers-anc^ torpedoes around their feet. Aside from the annoyance caused by this nuisance, there is a real dan- ankle was erased, ger to the public. There were several “accidents” in Barnwell during the past holiday season that could easily have resulted seriously. In one of these, Chief of Police Monroe Ross came dangerously near losing the sight of one eye. If people insist on celebrating the birth of the Prince of Peace in a warlike manner, let’s set aside cer tain areas and prohibit the use of fire works elsewhere. Let’s not wait un til some person has been blinded or dies of deadly tetanus (lockjaw) be fore taking action. — It was sleeting. In fact, it had been sleeting for hours. I put my foot on the top doorstep, and certain parts of my anatomy, including the back of my head, made prompt con tact with the bottom step. I saw stars and' clusters and 4 or 6 milky ways. I managed to crawl to my car which was parked just outside of the porty-to-shere. I pressed my foot on the st It said—“zizz-zizz-z-z-z” and hfished up.

Two or three of the firm’s trucks were dor mant and frigid-aired about the radia tor and motor for the season. The office felt like a hole in the snow. No body had a kind word to say. No body cared anything about going to work, and everything else was just as bad off. Oh, weather! Oh, weath er!! Please make, a change.

Padgett, of Colleton County, who has been con nected with the Forestry Department of Camp P-70 since the camp began work in July, 1935, has left the CCC. Mr. Padgett has accepted a position with the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Co., which is making extensive operations at this time throughout the lower part of the State. For the first 6 months this camp was open, Mr. Padgett was in charge of various details working mostly on truck trails. When the side camp opened at Luray in December, 1935, he went down there and took charge. He remained there until the side camp returned in July, 1936. Since then until he left us in the middle of De cember, he has been in charge of truck trails again. Mr. Padgett was always highly re garded by all the men in camp, and we will miss him. Back From Leave. Half the boys stationed at camp P-70 returned to duty last night, af ter being away since last Tuesday on New Year’s leave. The other half were on leave for five days over Christinas. Hammond and Sam Ellison, but the bulk of the boys are back and ready for a busy 1937. W. A.

He is survived by his father, Bill Strickland; one sister, Audrie, and his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Bates, with whom he lived since his mother’s death.
