Stop Bickering About Medicine M. Ds Told DETROIT, Oct 7.—A plea to phy sicians to stop bickering over the problem of socialized medicine and concentrate on problems of national defense was made today by the in coming president of the American Public Health association. Dr. W. S. Leathers, dean of the medical school of Vanderbilt uni versity, Nashville, Tenn., declared in an interview that “the time has come for closer integration between federal and state health agencis and private physicians” in order to pro tect the health of both soldiers and the civilian population. The inter view preceded the opening of tile annual meeting of the association here Tuesday. In the present emergency there is no time for bitter discussion about methods of furnishing medical serv ice, Dr, Leathers declared. “The time has come to plan for the adequate health care of all the people in the shortest possible time,” he said. Time is the principal re sources we have to spend and we have already wasted too much of it.” Private physicians, Army and Navy surgeons and public health workers must be constantly on the alert in the coming mobilization, when nearly 1,000,000 men will be concentrated in training camps, to prevent or control outbreaks of influenza, measles, ven- eral diseases, mumps and other di seases which attacked the ranks of American armies during the first World war. FARMERS REFUSE PERMIT The reporters are the candidate’s (Wilkie’s) personal corps of advis ors. He consults them frequently on statements and stategy and they are on the alert to protect him. An illustration of tills was his frank admission the day he address ed the townsfolk, “I’m not a farmer, never have been and hope I never will be.” Not a ward of this went out in the dispatches—altho it quickly got around the neighborhood, as local Republican managers discovered when they tried to put up some large Will- kie billboards. They had to go five miles out of town before they found a farmer who would let them use his place for this purpose. On highway 52, entering Rush- ville, there is a big sign on a bam, reading “This is NOT a Willkie farm.” PAY UP UNCLE SAM H O L C BORROWERS More than 26 per cent of the bil lions of dollars loaned by the Home Owners Loan Corporation to a mil lion distressed homeowners during the depression has been repaid, officials of the corporation announce. Nearly $864,000,000 in principal re-payments were credited on the HOLC’s books at the end of the fiscal year, June 30. About $183,000,000 of this amount re presented the payments of 77,141 bor rowers who have liquidated their loans in full.

Rum Use Paralels Rise In Traffic Deaths In Chicago a comparative study of traffic deaths in the 7-year per iod since beer came back, with the last 7 years of the prohibition pe riod has been made public by the American Business Men’s Research Foundation. According to the foundation, sur vey there was a total of 246,422 traffic deaths in the seven years of legal liquor as compared with 204,493 traf fic deaths during the similar period of national prohibition—a monthly increase of 499 highway fatalities for the 7 repeal years. As experts agree that liquor is in volved in at least 25 per cent of such accidents, the foundation asserts that there have been at least 61,605 liquor- bred automobile fatalities since re peal—10,482 more than during the final seven years of national prohi bition. In other words, there have been an average of 733 liquor-bred traffic fa tilities every 30 days since repeal, as compared with but 608 monthly during the previous dry years—125 more liquor bred highway deaths per month since the liquor trade was re legalized. TAX ON MEN BACHELORS TO AID BACHELOR WOMEN SATURDAY ANNIVERSARY OF WRECK OF THE OLD 97 Saturday was the 37 anniversary of the famous “Wreck of Old 97,” a train which toppled over Stillhouse trestle in North Danville (Va.) A railroad man wrote a ballard commemorating the event and a talk ing machine company has reaped thousands of dollars from records of the song. Its author has got nothing so far. Today there is little left that re sembles the chaos which greeted Danville people as they hastened to the scene. The long, curving trestle was done away with over a year ago when the Southern railroad abandond- ed the old main line route and built a new one. All that remains now is the ravine in which the train piled up. Newsboy King Convert Recommends The Christian Way BY KING COLE KING OF NEWSBOYS “What A Friend We Have In Je sus,” a hymn that rings true. Where will you seek or find one on earth like Him? But what if you gain ail the world and lose your own soul? God has enlightened us all in every way. By the Grace of God, we gain all in all. There have been many that tried to take the place of Jesus, but they all have been found lacking the strength to go all the way. H is not the survival of the fittest; it is up to every man, woman, and child to accept Jesus and His plan. You have the Ten Commandments. You have the Bible—read it until you understand it. If you are sincere, you will gain the light, and then it will shine from your words, deeds, and actions. For 50 years I have lived a life of worldly things. But thank God, I can boldly say the Savior is my helper and fear not. what man may do unto me. Today is a day of strife for those that ignore the true life in Jesus. He “will cary you through,” as He said. He will never leave nor forsake you. To accept His plan—-the road is narrow and rough—for He said when you accept His plan the people of the world will make the road tough. But, my friends, the toughness makes you happy when you truly learn to bear the Cross. You sacri fice, you are tolerant, you are chari table, you gain real love with Jesus. But you never get soft in the way of the world. Ever reaching for perfec tion is a Christian man. It matters not what sect or church you join, you Tax the Bachelors League, Inc,, of Sacremento, California, has set out to penalize financially those men who have escaped a marital state for at least 36 years of their lives. Beneficiaries of the penalizing pro cess would be those women who also have failed to marry in the same length of time. The Los Angeles League took on official status with the filing of arti cles of incorporation and listed as one of its objectives to campaign for in creased incomes taxes to penalize old er (over 36); such revenue to be used for the relief of needy “bachelor wo men” (over 36).

VALUE & ADcJEOTiVEP ON THE G0AOUINS LINE OF THE PACCAMETOTO HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL 6Q0UNDP We Have Entered The Season of County Fairs In This State, Says The Spectator Columbia, Oct. 7.—This fox played ’possum on Josiah J. Evans of Ben- nettsville, state public service com- missionei, last week En route to Columbia early one morning, he tried to avoid hitting a fox that ran across the road. He swerved enough to keep from running over the animal but sideswiped it. Stopping, he found the fox, a large gray one, sprawled on the roadside. Thinking it was dead, Evans picked up the animal, deposited it on the back seat and proceeded on his way. When he drove into Society Hill he thought he heard something move behind him. He was right. “Mr. Fox was sitting up on his haunches like a police dog,” Evans said. “It was a curious feeling to see a fox sitting there and looking straight at you. “I decided that my trip would be a safer and more comfortable one alone. I opened the door and the fox scampered out into the street of the small town and disappared in the darkness. “We were both relieved,” Evans said. PROSPERITY BOY IN NAVAL SERVICE must accept Jesus as your savior and live a true life. May God grant that I carry on with my good wife a mission in life to gain more workers for Jesus. If you don’t succeed the first time, try, try again. Seek and ye Shall 1* find, knock and tile door shall be opened unto you. Ask and ye shall receive. * You can talk, pray, or think with Jesus. But it must be on the up and up. Go all tile way in your Christian walk of life and you will have a hap piness that you cannot earn other wise. You will be bom again, if you take Jesus as your friend. Joel Elmore Ross, U. S. Navy, is on leave from the US Naval Training Station, Norfolk, Va., visiting his mother Mrs. C. C. Ros, Prosperity.

Industrial Activity Is At New High NEW YORK, Sept. 30—Every in dex you turn gives out the same an swer to the “how’s business?” query, namely: Industrial activity is zoom ing, with no let-down in sight for at least six months. The Bureau of Agricultural Ec onomics, whose forecasts have been considerably accurate, figures the of ficial index of industrial production to finish up this year at the “126” level which prevailed at the close of 1939—which was at the height of the first-blush war boomlet—and that the out put for the whole twelve months of 1940 will be 10 per cent ahead of 1939. In the important department of consumers’ purchasing power, furth er gains are expected, with industrial workers’ incomes, by the end of the year, figured to hit the 1937 peak.

As its name indioaes, the organization is composed of individuals, and enterprises, and co pe rates closely with all business groups. This Organization will enlist the businessmen of the State in pro moting the development of its econ omic welfare. That sounds so general that we may set forth more specific objectives: 1. To use every effort to bring more industries to our State. In this en deavor it will act on its own initia tive, if necessary, but will use every resource to cooperate with groups now soliciting new industries. For ex ample, every Chamber of Commerce in the State, every power company— and others—are constantly at work presenting the advantages of SouiBh Carolina. Organized Business, Incorporated, will also present to the Legislature and to citizens recommendations for the removal of obstacles to our de velopment, as well as to facilitate successful approach. The Legislature, when clearly in formed, is usually ready to do its part, as was proved last session by the repeal of the tax on intangibles. Oftentimes businessmen of the State have occasion to appear before Boards, Commissions, or officials of the State. This Organization is not trying to set up a practice before State and Federal officials, but it will serve as a source of information and cooperation, so far as may be practi cable. It may be said that whenever a businessman—or any other citizen-— has occasion to consult one and doesn’t know who the right man is, this Or ganization will try to put him in the right path. Business is our most numerous of the unorganized forces of the State. Through business we all earn our living. Business is not only some thing of interest to the heavily cap italized enterprise, whose volume runs high into the millions; it is the in terest and concern of thousands of small merchants, garages, shops and activities of all kinds. Rightly con sidered, every man who works for a living is a businessman, for the em ployer depends upon him, just as he lives on the wages from his job. So, Organized Business, Incorporated, in vites all citizens to work together for the building of our State, so that through new payrolls a more liberal and stable income may be enjoyed, and a larger number of our people gain fully employed all the year, by a greater diversity of business oppor tunity. The President of Organized Busi ness, Incorporated, is C. Norwood Hastie of Charleston, banker and own er of Magnolia Gardens. Now in the fullness of his powers Mr. Has tie has a vision of South Carolina throwing off her inferiority complex and marching in the road of progress and betterment with the moat advanc ed of her sister states. To this he is giving liberally of his time and mo ney. Under the urge of a fresh and vigorous enthusiasm he is dedicatin', himself to the service of the public. The General Manager of Organiz ed Business is David A. Skinner, who has moved to Columbia to assume his d ties. For thirty years Mr. Skin ner was Secretary of the United States Chamber of Commerce. Here is a man of great driving force, thor oughly grounded in what he is under taking, and devoting all his training to the furtherance of the aim of the organization. South Carolina may count among her assets a clean and public-spirited press, radio broadcasting stations which exercise a close supervision to assure wholesome programs, a conse crated ministry which is alive to the Whole life of the State, a public ad ministration among the best, and a judiciary which metes out justice. All these elements are the foundation of a good State. And we add to this, a peaceable people, a people not rich but happy—a comfortable state, as Dr. Ball once called! it; a state with out violent extremes of wealth and poverty, good fortune and calamity, learning and ignorance, fanaticism and depravity. Charleston County will have to pay $150,000 a year more for the rice it buys than it has been paying. A great steamdbip line which has been bringing the rice to Creurleston from Texas ports since 1845 has stopped running tiiips to our old seaport. That means that the freight on the rice consumed in Charleston County will cost $150,0000 more. I didn’t know they even used that much rice, yet I should know, for rice is on- every table there for the midday meal, call it lunch or dinner. When a low-oouretry- man sits to the table and sees no rice he -knows it is just a pick-up or pic nic make-shift to appease hunger, but it’s no meal. The old city .will lose above a hundred thousand! dollars more in service charges, such os hand ling. Some time ago passenger service from Charleston to Ne wYonk was discontinued. Those ships also car ried freight. They have recently re newed sailings to aid 1 from Charleston, but if we don’t ship by the tiiip lines the service will be cut off again. Now why does that interest us? Because we enjoy a competitive water rate as long as we have ships making regualr sailings. After a while all our freight charges will be increased so that the shoe will pinch about two-thirds of the State. As I mentioned from WIS some mon/hs ago, if sea freight is car ried to Norfolk, instead ,of Charles ton, we may help build up Norfolk, but we starve our seaport and add freight burdens to most of the State. It is all very well—and highly de sirable—to go out in quest of new business, but let’s be sure ,to hold what we have. The item of $150,000 in additional freight charges refers to rice; but if we lose our water rate then the charge on all the State will be many ■times $150,000 in a year. the politicians come to the fair to feel the pulse of the State. And you can take the temperature of all the State right at the Fair grounds, for hun dreds come from even the smallest communities a long way off. Having a form myself, I like to look at the live stock, the agricultural ma chinery, and the finest products of the farms; but being just an ordinary man I stand spell-hound before the cakes and other delectable items of the han diwork of the farmerettes. In imagin ation I think of turning loose a twelve year old boy amid all the profusion of preserves, jellies, cakes and candies; nor would I trust myself and their fathers for where all the fine hams are shown. It would help every citizen to at tend his County fair, and then to come to the State fair. Sometimes we are freshly stimulated by what others have done, and at other times we may have the satisfaction of know ing that we have done as well as the others. Come to the fair and mingle with the crowd, and even get off your dig nity. A competition of school bands will be held and auto races are sche duled. Emphasis is placed on the ac tivities of boys and girls. 1 roamed about several years ago and stopped to admire a beautiful cow. A lad was standing near, pride of ownership standing out. I asked where he liv ed and he said, “You wouldn’t know, I live near Lodge.” And don’t I know Lodge, in Colleton County, the County which boasts the thriving city of WaJterboro as its capital?
