There is .more demand for free attention and less money to pay for the same on the part of the hospital. More bills expected to be paid are defaulted pr paid only in part. Donations fell off in amount; and in consequence of |*ll this, on January 1st we owed 0 little over Twelve Hundred ($1200. 00) Dollars, which we still owe. We hope shortly to get about a thousand dollars from the County, and the do nation from the Duke Endowing a mounting to about Six Thousand Sev en Hundred ($6,700.00) DollarVwil' not be given to us until April. Our creditors are not pushing us, and wc are occasionally collecting small a mounts from pay patients. In an attempt to raise some mono1* and means in October, 1932 we got a bout Twenty-one Hundred ($2100.00) Dollars in cash, and about Four Hun dred ($400.00) Dollars introduce, po tatoes, preserves, and other eatables The colored people became very en thusiastic and were responsible for about Five ($600.00) Hundred Dol lars in cash and produce. In the collections mentioned abovr is Three Hundred $(800.00) Dollar? donated in cash by our best friends the women who compose the Ladies Auxiliary of The Camden Hospital.

One consists of lecture? and class discussions on methods of teaching health habits and of im proving school sanitation. The othe? course offers demonstrations in thr inspection of pupils for minor phys :cal defects that handicap them ir 'heir studies and that may lead tr erious trouble later. Parents, as well as teachers, arr Seing reached through popular even ing meetings at which talks are madr ^nd health films shown. Thousands ?>f interested persons have attendee" hese open meetings.

Annual Charities Drive Scheduled for This Mdnth Dr. Wimberly Speaks to Record Crowd Sunday A short time after Dr. Wimberlj came to Camden, he was requested to deliver his address on "The Radio ir Prophecy" at the Baptist Church Many werefthe requests to repeat at his own church; whereupon ,he did this last Sunday night. It is doubt ful if more -people were ever in the church before. Every available foot of space was occupied, and the Sun day School room also. The gallery was reserved for the Colored people and it was filled to capacity. One very enjoyable feature of the evening's program was the singing of the Trinity Colored Methodist choir. They sang a number of-Negro Spiri tuals, to the delight of the vast au dience. Mr. McKain of the Episcopal choir also rendered a beautiful solo; the congregational singing was ac companied by the pipe organ and pi ano, with Mrs. Gandy at the organ and Miss Dotty Zemp at the piano. For one hour and fifteen minutes Dr. Wimberly gave this unique and wonderful lecture-sermon, and scarce ly a foot was heard scraping on the floor, and many expressed a regret when he stopped. It was a thrilling recital of prophecy, the sins of the times, as are being unfolded by the world conditions. The wonders of the Radio, and the ultimate purpose? in the Divine mind, in the organiza tion of the elements, were clearly and scripturally analyzed by the speaker ROTARY CLUB NOTES The Rotary meeting last week waf in charge of J.

Soon Time'For Annual Drive For Year's Funds For Associated Charities Mrs. W. J. Mayfield, the Presi dent of The Associated Charities, has advised us that the time is now ap proaching for the annual drive for the yearly funds for the Associated Charities and the Children's Home. The drive starts this year on Tuesday February 28th, and will last through that week and until we have secured sufficient funds. The requirements this year we have put at same as last year through the very good offices of the vast number of friends of The As sociated Charities here. Of course it is unnecessary to say that the re quirements this year have grown much heavier and that the only way in which we have been able to take care even in a very limited way the great number of calls we have had has been by the donation through the National Red Cross of Government flour and Government clothing and Government cloth which has been do nated. The drive this year -will be in the hands of practically the same people that did such wonderful work last year, and we believe that while we realize that funds are scarce this year we believe that the idea that all of us must have by this time that "We Will Share", which will be our motto for this drive, and which we believe will bring Jiome to everybody the fact that the other fellow needs our help this year worse than ever before. This is a preliminary of the drive and our advertisements and articles will appear from now on until this drive starts, which, as we said be fore, will be on Tuesday, February 28th. "I Will Share."
