EPTING, • •' . ’ Executor Parker, Arizona, Nov. 23—A five- day rebellion at the Poston Japanese relocation, center which followed the jailing of two men on charges of as sault to kill was ended today by mil itary police. W. Wade Head, superintendent of the camp—largest of the centers to which west coast Japanese were evacuated—said the revolting group flew banners bearing Japanese char acters last night and played Japan ese martial music. “A small, but well-organized pro- Axis group took advantage of the situation to sieze control of the largest of the three Poston units and create a general strike,” he said. The recalcitrants had been barri caded in the community jail since Wednesday. They forced their city council to resign, Wade said, and had caused a stoppage of all work _ in Unit No. -. Head said about a third of the 20,- 000 Japanese in the Poston camp were affected by the work walkout. He gave no details of the methods used by a “strong force” of military police in quieting the Japanese but indicated there was no bloodshed or damage to property. Jos. L. Keitt, for several years field representative for the South Carolina Unemployment Compensa tion commission, has accepted a posi tion with the S. C.

Joe Keitt is well and favorably known in this county as a man of high character and much ability. He will be a valuable addition to the staff of the S. C. National. SHOULD END WORK IN 30 DAYS JOHNSTON THINKS THE JOLOPY HAS A DESTINY TODAY (From the Providence R.I. Bulletin) The worn-out automobile has been a roadside eyesore to America. Now it is a military asset. It is going to war in new steel for our fighting men. Those who do not understand this, should. It is the epic of the jalopy. This most motorized of nations had for years the problem of dis .posing in some decent way of its olo cars. Some were abandoned by the wayside where the gasoline god flung them in wreckage against stone walls or telephone poles, or over turned them in ditches. The disgust ed drivers of others, unable to make them go any more, just left them where they gave their last carbure tor cough, and walked or hitch-hiked away. All this committed mayhe mon the scenery, and out of it grew the auto graveyards, cluttered with the mil lionaire’s town car and the college boy’s jeep. There a few dollars to be made out of the sale of parts and tires, which kept other cars going a little longer. But by and large the chassis and bodies moved into the stream of or ganized salvage as slowly as cold molasses. Then came war along, and the flow speeded up. It reached a rate of about 150,000 tons a month. America entered the war and the flow speeded still more. In June 453,000 tons of iron and steel scrap were moved out of some 22,000 apto graveyards scattered over the face of the nation. That is an answer to those who say the worn-out and wrecked cars are just lying there, tons of them, when people are asked to contribute their modest amounts of scrap metals to the war effort. The June yield of 453,000 tons, matched with a like amount of new pig iron, means new steel produc tion at the rate of nearly 9,000,000 tons a year. The country cannot get along without those 9,000,000 tons of new steel. Therefore it cannot get along without the auto graveyards. It is as simple as that. The auto graveyards await; be- ond them, the steel furnaces and the armament plants; and beyond them, America’s fighting men. The jalopy has a destiny today. Have you a jalopy? The 1943 general assembly should be able to finish its business in be tween twenty-five and thirty legis lative days, according to Governor- elect Olin D. Johnston. “In my opinion the main purpose of everybody is to do all we can to terminate the war in Europe and in Asia and to save as many lives as possible,” he said. “I believe we should be as little divided among ourselves as possible and that there is plenty of time after the war to try to legislate measures which are debateable.” Governor Johnston said he believ ed that the sooner the session over the more money can be saved for the taxpayers because there is a temptation to pass added appro priations as long as th e general as sembly is in session. Governor Johnston said he did not care to discuss any measures he thinks should be enacted until the general assembly convenes. TODD GOING ABROAD Columbia, Nov. 24.—The State ffro bation and parole board today grant ed the request of Director Jake Todd, of the probation and parole system, for a leave of absence to as sume overseas duty with the Red Cross. The Board promoted J. Curtis Moore, of Blacksburg, assistant di rector and Miss Julia Hardin, Todd secretary was elevate to Moore’s po sition. VISITS MOTHER Pvt. Cyril Abrams, stationed with the General Hospital at Camp Car- son, Colorado, arrived at his home in Silverstreet to visit his mother who is very ill. business Must Have Big ■orca for Holiday Trado Washington, Nov. 23.—Housewives high school and college students and many others outside the regular la bor force must be mobilized as Christmas counter clerks if the na tion’s retail stores are to meet the expected holiday buying rush, the census bureau announced today. Even then, the shortage of work ers in a nation at war will create countless shopping jams unless the public does its Christmas buying early, the bureau said. Predicting that approximately 400,000 additional enyrloyees will be needed to handle the increased holi day business in retail stores, the bureau pointed out that “the reser voir from which holiday-expanded employment is generally served does not exist this year.*’ The 400,000 workers will repre sent an increase of about 8 per cent for retail trade as a whole, but a jump of 25 per cent or more for such businesses as department and dry goods stores, variety stores, statio nery stores and toys, clothing and furnishings and gift shops. Also strongly affected by the shopping in crease will be the drug stores, the bureau predicted. Retail stores in New York city alone will add more than 30,000 em ployees in December, while Los An geles, Chicago, Detroit and Phila delphia will take on approximately 10,000 or more each, and San Fran cisco, Boston, Cleveland and Pitts burgh each will add upwards of 5000 the bureau said. Leading mail order and merchan dise firms in Chicago are resorting to alluring ads in an effort to hire more women workers before the Christmas buying rush reaches peak. Daily siestas with pay, convenient transportation, club rooms, discounts on merchandise and other entice ments are being offered prospective employees in newspaper advertise ments. Besides announcing “paid rest per iods,” one mail order company, with an eye on the intellectual aspirations of its employees, stated proudly that it had a library. Another firm assured prospective employees that it had “a newly fcon- structed office building” and its “modem lounge affords comfbrt.” A mail order concern promised employees “immediate discount on any purchase you make here.” A department store chain with eleven outlets in the city and sur rounding territory announced “we will endeavour to place you in locality convenient to your home.” One of the famous State street stores took a different line—“keep active, alert and optimistic," it ad vised, “by performing some new and stimulating task.' A bakery called attention to its “congenial and pleasant surround ings, and home atmosphere.” SEEN ABOUT TOWN wUat you &***} wau WAR BONDS. The “Stovepipe,” as the 60-miIli- meter trench mortar is commonly known, is used by our infantry for close-in fighting. It fires a 2.4-pound shell at the rate of about 35 a minute.

Kingstree, Nov. 22.—Farm women of Williamsburg county have found a way to aid in the conservation pro gram. They literally are bringing the family auto, or parts of it), into the home. Obsolete types of ma chines, and autos piled in junk yards in the county have been overhauled for old seats which have been made into attractive household chairs and love love seats for many a farm home in Williamsburg. This idea, which has passed from county to county in the state, was originated for the farm women of Williamsburg by Miss Laura Connor, home demonstration agent. In many of the communities women have met for all-day sessions, transforming old automobile seats into attractive pieces of furniture. Miss Connor’s directions for mak ing these seats for farm homes are as follows: 1. Take a single front seat from a junked car; remove the metal strip by which it is attached to the par (saving this for the salvage drive), and clean and mend upholstery thor oughly, using plenty of soap and wa ter, followed by exposure to sunlight. “2. From a few odd pieces of rough or dressed lumber make and attach a wooden frame or founda tion for the chair, according to the specifications given below. “3. Cover the ®ld upholstery of the automobile seat with a fitted lining, using unbleached muslin, sacks, or any handy, strong/ clean lining material. “4. Make an attractive slip cover, using tufting for the seams, and a pleated frill to cover the wooden foundation of the chair.” Specifications for the wooden foundations are given as follows: a (front, with heel space cut out) and b (black, without heel space re- ’moved) are sixteen inches wide by nine inches deep; c and d (side .pieces) are seventeen inches long at the top, nineteen inches‘long at the bottom, ad nine inches deep; when fastened to a and b. the nine teen-inch length is allowed to ex tend two, inches beyond b at the back, and this is rounded or shaped otherwise so as not to end in a sharp point. It is recommended that leg rests be placed at each corner to protect the floor.” These specifications are for the single chair. Many who were shown the attractive chairs were also enthu siastic about the double auto seats which they covered and used in vari ous parts of their homes. The only change in the above specifications for the foundation would be in the above specifications for the foun dation would be in lengthening the front and back boards, a and b. This project met with such fav or among the farm women of the county that Miss Connor has been called constantly to advise friends in Kingstree, and many a piece of this attractive “salvage” furniture has found itself gaily . slip-covered and holding a place of honor in homes here. THE MASTER’S SPIRIT FOR CARRYING ON HIS WORK 9y PAUL STEWAT Pastor First Baptist Church Pelzer, S. C. “If any man hath not the spirit of Christ, he is none of his.”—Rom. 8:9. The Holy Spirit puts into us the spirit of Christ—mind, character, and qualities of Christ. If we have not the spiritual nature of Christ it is an evidence that we are not truly his. As Christians, at times we fail. But the predominating principles of our lives are Christian. To be Christ’s, to’fce a Christian, is a privilege and an honor which many pretend to have, yet have no part nor lot in the matter. None are his but those who have his spirit. We can not tread in hds steps unless we have his spirit. Do our hearts and lives conform to the pattern of Christ? What about our thoughts and mo tives? In our work for the Lord: do we really do it in his name, for his glory and in his spirit? Such ones that have the spirit of Christ are acutated and guided by the Holy Spirit. In doing Christ’s work we must have his spirit, or it is displeas ing to him. A young boy one day knocked at the dor of a great artist’s studio, and when it was opened he exclaimed: "Please, madam, will you give me the master’s brush?” The painter was dead, and the boy, inflamed with a longing to be an artist, wished for the great master’s brush. The lady placed the brush in the boy’s hand saying, “Thisi is his brush; try it, my boy.” With a flash of earnestness on his face he tried, but he found he could paint no better than with his own. The -lady then said to him:“You cannot paint like the great master unless you have his spirit.” So it is with us today. If we have not Chri.'t’s spirit we cannot successful ly carry on his work.
