Porter Wins Over Camden High Porter Military academy won ov er Camden High school in their football game at the Hagood stad ium ye3terday, 2 to 0. W. H Branham, speedy Camden halfback, recovered a pass from the Camden center over the goal line to give Porter its two points. Evidently the visitors got mixed up on their signals in the first per iod and the pass from center 3ailed untouched, over the goal. Branham outpaced several Porter men to cover it. The play had started on Camden's 15-yard line. Each 3ide made three first downs. Porter threatened later in the fl .i iperiod when Jimmy Finnegan, the chief spark of life on the Porter toam, returned a punt 30 yards to Camden's 26 and Porter followed with a first-down on the Camden 26, but there the vi3itor3 held and took the ball. Gamden's punt was straight up in the air and Porter immediately had the ball again on the Camden 17, but could not 3core. Camden's one real threat came in the second period. Camden took a 3hort Porter punt on Porter's 23 yard line. W. H Branham, easily the best (running back on the field, then stepped off 18 yards to the Porter five yard line ibefore being lhrown out of bounds. Two Cam den line thrusts got only two yards and Captain John Flowers'a pass went over the goal line for a toucftr back. Flofwers and Branham were the chief figures in Camden's play. Flowers, a big fellow, (played end on offense and tackle on defense. He made many tackles, did the punting, some of the passing, some of the pass-receiving and ome times ran with the ball. In addition, Flowers called the signals. y Tfy* line-up: Poi: - C JLE ? Townsend Flowed 1?T ? Holcombe Rhoden LG ? Robertson Myers C ? McGinty Jackson RG? Smith Rhame RT ? Ramsey Goodale RE ?

Itev. A. Doug las McArn has been appointed chair man of this drive for Kershaw county and is now very active organizing var ious committees that will assist in this u;ork. Not only is he to be strongly organized in Camden, but will also visit Kershaw, Bethune, Blaney and other parts of the county to organize there. Everyone is familiar with the won derful work done by the Red Cross society. There is hardly a day that some big disaster doesn't visit some part of the country and you will find the Red Cross active in nursing, feed ing or housing people in distress. Many have an idea that all of the government aid given through such organizations as RFC, CWA, FERA, etc., is sufficient to take care of work heretofore done by the Red Cross, but that is all wrong. Your membership is needed just as badly as ever, and there must be no slowing up of the program that has been so success fully carried out for so many years. The Red Cross memberships are: Annual, $1.00; contributing, $6.00; sustaining, $10.00; supporting, $25.00. A statement of the Red Cross ex penditures fSr Kershaw county will be given in a later issue of this paper. The scope of work done by the Red Cross is so large that it is difficult to tell of it in a short article, but a few things will be mentioned: Thousands of children, reached through Red Cross public nurses, have had conditions of malnutrition discovered and checked that this gen eration may not pay in future years for deprivations in childhood. Safeguarding an expectant mother has been an important work of Red Cross nurses during these years. The nurses aided in the birth of more than 19,000 babies, and they alTO made 1,289,000 visits to or in behalf of more than(100,000 maternity cases. Sick and disabled veterans and their dependent families have been the j special charge ol the Red Cross and' the recurring problems of hospitali zation, claims and welfare continue a vital concern. The Red Cross has trained thous ands in first aid work and thousands in life saving work. They have a small army of nurses and workers available for big disasters. The Red Cross has cared for your fellow citizens ? victims of unemploy ment, drought, tornado, flood, earth quake and other causes of distress. They have cared for the hungry, needy, sick and injured. This great work must continue and you are expected to join in the great annual drive which commences on Armistice Day. Rev. McArn hopes to be so organized that the drive will be brought to an end long before the usual time. He feels that it will suit everyone concerned to make this a quick and successful drive. Join now ? your membership is needed to keep the light burning.
