Now the way raids built rather than destroyed morale in Eng land might seem to be a warning that the same thing would hap pen here. Our enemies undoubt edly realize that an attack would ^quickly add to our unity, our pro duction activity and would make us more eager than ever to get into the fight. But they also realize that it might cause fever ish defense activity which would take away our offensive power. They’d like to see the towns of America demanding more pro tection—more guns, planes, forti fications and soldiers. If there are raids this summer that will be their chief aim—to stir up defense activity and thus dilute our offensive strength.

McCORMICK COUNTY DEM OCRATIC EXECUTIVE COM MITTEE. J. O. PATTERSON, Secretary. May 28, 1942. Jesus felt his isolation even from God. Next was the plea for forgive ness of those who did the wrong. How revealing was this of his wondrous love! Then his thought turned to the only one in the multitude who still recognized the Savior’s power and Jesus said to the repentant thief, “To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. As darkness prevailed over the land and his end drew near, Jesus commended his spirit unto God. Then almost in his last moments he committed his mother to the care of the loving John. How much has Jesus done for the womanhood of the world! Then the agony of crucifixion drew from him the cry for water. This natural word of a dying man was followed by a cry of exultation—“It is finished.” Doubtless he welcomed merciful release but we may believe that he exulted in the completion of God’s plan through him. And as we think of that great plan, let us make sure that we are of the number who are saved by the atonement of Jesus on the cross. FINAL SETTLEMENT STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County Of McCormick.

READ THE AD$ Along With the News FUN TO EAT WITH STOMACH GAS PAINS CHECKED Nobody knows better than you what pain and distress an upset stomach can bring about.

BOMBS type If the Germans do drop bombs in the United States this summer, what kind of bombs will they be? That’s a subject which is being discussed at air raid schools all over the country and, of course, no one can do more than guess at the answer. But it is considered very unlike ly that heavy high explosive bombs will be used at present be cause their weight is too great for a long trip. Not that a bom ber couldn’t carry them a long distance, but they couldn’t carry enough to make the trip seem worthwhile. But high explosive bombs might be flown in from carriers or secret near-by bases, so air raid wardens, firemen, policemen and others are being taught what to do about them. As far as civilians are concerned —if a high explosive bomb falls nearby, the only thing to do is report it and keep a good dis tance away. Some have fuses in them so they will explode in ten minutes. Others may go sev eral days before exploding. There is no diffeiulty in recognizing them because they are enormous in size, most of them ranging in weight from 2,000 to 5,000 pounds. But because of the difficulty of hauling them—and because of the probable purpose of any raid being to spread fear over as large an afea as possible, it seems much more likely that the enemy would send over bombers-full of incendiary bombs—little fiery missiles which weigh only two I pounds and which a bomber can carry in 1,500 lots.

FOR COTTON WEIGHER (not INCENDIARIES . . . attics Because incendiary bombs are considered the most likely to fall out of the skies over the United States, hundreds of thousands of civilians are being instructed in what to do about them. Brief instructions have been printed everywhere and most of us are now familiar with the fact that they should be fought with FILL IMPORTANT POSITIONS Many important positions are being left vacant by th' draft.

GREENWOOD COLLEGE OF COMMERCE GREENWOOD, S. C. either sand or a spray stream) of water. There is no doubt that if any of our towns are showered with incendiary bombs, enormous dam age might be prevented if each home had in its attic a pail of sand, a couple of pails of water and a shovel. But no matter how much that simple precaution is preached, there will probably be few who will do anything about it until after there has been an attack. Another thing we are being ask ed to do for our own and our town’s protection, is to keep our attic floor empty—to dispose of those dust-laden treasures which we think we might use some day but which we know, deep in our hearts, will still be gathering dust in the attic for the rest of our natural lives. But maybe it’s asking too much of Americans to insist that they clean the attic merely because of a world war. Perhaps our de fense authorities might be will ing to compromise on the sand and water and let the attics go. SURPRISES ... invention In England, after the first few air raids, housewives soon showed little respect for incendiary bombs. If one fell in an attic they would simply shovel it up vhile it was still burning and toss it out the window. But one day, after the Germans became aware of this practice, the bombs began exploding in stead of just burning. An in cendiary bomb has a barrel run ning down the center filled with hermit which burns for about a minute. The outer portion of the bomb is made of magnesium vhich is set afire by the ther mit and burns for 20 minutes. The Germans devised a plan of having an explosive at the front end of the barrel which would be set off when the thermit inished burning. This illustration is given mere- Red Cross .
