The Royal Game of Golf

CHARLES / of England played
~ golf near the Tower of London
while waiting for his executioner to
get his axe sharpened. Royalty and
notables of all kinds have played the
ancient game at least since 1400 and
perhaps much earlier.
But golf has become a popular
sport only in the last 80 years. The
invention of the rubber-cored ball
about 1900 is the reason for its
rise in popularity. Before that, play
ers had used little leather balls
stuffed with feathers and later the
gutta-percha ball.
Golf played with the gut ball was
no game for the ordinary dub. When
hard and well hit by the profession
al, it might possibly go 200 yards,
but the amateur was lucky if he
could get $50. Under those condi-
tions, what fun was it to push little
white pellet around with knobbed
stick?
The India-rubber ball introduced
something new. The dub could get
200 yards and maybe more.
With the new ball, second and
third-rate players could score as

Council Committee
InUestiqdtinq Alarms

Following a discussion of pro-
posal for Bluffton to have fire alarm
boxes, members of the fire and light
committee of the town council, are
investigating the possibilities and ex-
penses of the system.
The committee investigating the
proposal is composed of DR.. Munson
Bixel and Cleon Triplett. The plan
as proposed by Lester Niswander,
representing the Bluffton fire depart
mnt at the last council meeting,
would consist of the installation of
fire alarm boxes located in various
parts of the town.
The boxes would be connected with
the telephone central office. An
alarm bell would be located in each
fireman's home and place of business.
A signal from central would ring
all bells simultaneously and indicate
to the fireman in what part of town
the fire is located. The advantage
of the system would lie in the speed
ier action that it would provide
through the use of pre-arranged sig
mails and the greater accessibility. OF
the boxes for the residents of the
community.
The committee will report back to
the council regarding the feasibility
of the proposal, it was stated this
week by Mayor w. A. Howe.

AUSTRALIA HAS
 INTERNAL FRACAS
Prime Minister Menzies May Resign to Allow
 Labor to Run Govt.

CanHerra, Australia, Aug. 22-
 UP)-Prime Minister Robert Cor ion Menzies offered to resign today T. an attempt to end a parliament ary crisis over his demand that he % t0 London as premier to sit in he British war cabinet and assure Australia adequate representation in Far Eastern defense discussions.
 It was believed that Menzies, by his action, sought to leave the way open to go to London in some other capacity, such as that of minister pxtraordinary, to represent Australia n the British cabinet.
 Menzies made his offer in a letter to Jcl1n Curtin, leader of the Labor party. Curtin and all members of hs cabinet, supported Menzies' de- si-e to go to London as premier but he Labor party refused to counten- ance the plan.
 Mcnzies said in his letter that he vas willing to cooperate in the for nation of national government to 5e led by himself, by Curtin or by bone other man whom parliament might elect.
 Stressing his assertion that the Far Eastern situation was acutely Dangerous and might explode into var at any time, Menzies wrote Cur in:
 Events of the last few days have bnce more emphasized the impera- i've need for political stability in Australia so that we may confront Ard deal with our grave problems with unity, strength and effective hess.
 Want Representation Discussions in parties and in par iemert also have shown an urgent iesire by both sides for Australian ministerial representation in London.
 think you will agree that such rep tesen tation, if 1t is to be effective, must be based on stability at home" N (The Australian Labor party took |khe view that the prime minister, rhether Menzies or another, ought Eo remain at home to run the gov ernme1it.l
 (The political situation in Aus bralia is complicated because of the 'delicate balance between the govern |Hnsnt parties, with 37 members in parliament, and the Labor party, |iwith 36)
 The Labor party is to meet Tues May to vote on Menzies' offer of a Inational government, which would loe composed of government and op- |lposition men in eqnal numbers. VI Political quarters forecast that Eabor would reject the proposal and lkhat Menzies probably would resign and go to London as minister, ov- Elerhanding the prime ministry to a hon.
