Tlx* mooting of the League on Mon day giext, is of m'ore than usual in terest ami a full attendance Is urged Things of great moment for the beauti fying and betterment of the town wiH~ be discussed and there will be more work planned for than can be undertak en by the faithful few who gather each month at the High School park, with out. the cooperation of the other League members. There i? such a surprising lack of civic pri<le and interest in the majority of Camden's citizens, as- well as such a woeful lack of the "got to gether" spirit, for the common good, that it is morft discouraging to those wlko have worked so faithfully all these years with so little help from the many who should feel" the same , pride in the town as t'hey do and l?e just as willing to do tiheir share of work. This fact has been spoken of before with no great results, and it is hoped this re .tninder wiH not fall ort dulled oars, as usual but %ill arouse the* interest of a few anyway. If not convenient to attend the next meeting, become a menibeV of J he I ieague right now andi send your yearly dues. Membership fees are now fifty cents. Men specially invite*! to join.

It is hoped work will begin soon and instead of incoming pas sengers being1- greeted with the sight of ni^gkvted grounds, with a background of ugly length of warehouse, ornamented With tattored romains of circus posters, they will see aftract.ivo flower beds and well kept hedges and maybe a brand new warehouse.
