Meeting of Library Association
The above Association met at the
l.ibrary Monday afternoon, aud while
(he attendance was small, the report
was encouraging and showed that trtie
institution was in a healthy condition
at least, though the management 1?
iiix-.iiMis to ace it gt.'ng forward at
even A more r?l>l<i pace for this ineti
tution incans much to Camden from
an educational stand point, as it
stands for an educated citizenship.
There me no (UTldlOg lines; it is opeu
to every white person in Caindcfi, and
nearly six hundred families are using
it. All public iponey is put Into re
ference books, standard works etc,
The up-to-date is placed on a rent shelf,
and those who 'read It pay for it. When
tibt book has been paid for, it goes on
the free shelf, and has cost the Library
nothing. The IHgb Si4iool Library baa
"gone up In smoke," and the, Associa
tion extended a cordial invitation to
the teachers and jniplls of the High
and Grammar Schools to use tlto> Public
Library, and it is hoped til) at each
teacheT win visit the Library, and find
what Is best suited to their grade, and
if they desire make a list of the books
which they Intend to recommend to
their pupils. 4
It was decided not to paint the Libra
ry until spring, but hope to have it
done early In April, ?
The Association acknowledged with
thanks eleven books from Miss Perk
Ins of Concord, Mass. also a book from
Mrs. William Irvln Situs, Savannah,
Oa., Nile title. "Francis Morgan, an
Fa rlv Virginian Iiurgess and Some of
Ills Descendants." Doubtless some of
decendents." No doubt some of those
those* desccndents are living . In
around Camden, and this book will bf?
of Interest to them.
Miss Minnie Clyhurn in still a corn*'
mlttee of one to collect books for de
? llnqucnt boys and those wishing to eon
tribute a book will please phono her.
The Library wishes to send In at least
twelve before the meeting of the Fed
?/eration which meets in Camden in
April. The librarian reported that she
had Wki most flattering success in mak
ing up the membership for 1921, and
expressed her thanks and appreciation
for the gracious cordiality accorded
her. Those who refused were in a
very small minority. The list has not
been completed but she hopes to com
plete It by the next meeting of the As*
soclation and then the names of the
loyal supporter* of M?e Library will be
published. 7 -rr? ? * ? ? . ? -
Citizen* of Camden: A dollar. should
not be big enough to obscure your vis
ion to all that this institution means
to your town and it's people. What
the city gives is not sufficient to make
this "culture center" the pride of old
Camden. The broad minded, generous
unselfish, public spirited citizens stand
four square for the Library, whether
he uses it personally or not. And his
name is, or Will be on that roll call.
A free Library.!: Help us to make 1t
and to encourage free reading ; that it
may create a bWirst for knowledge,
blot out Ignorance, and bring about
t/lie results of an educated citizenship.

you know that there are five hundred
thousand babies In Italy who will die
unless thc.v gi>( milk ?
Ho you know that wfhat cattle wus
left by devastating armies haw (|i, ,i
since the war with the dread mouth
and hoof disease and that the goats
have Maltese fever whkth makes the
milk polsouous for children to drink?
Do you realise that ihc war stricken
district of Italy In as large an the
whole of Belgium and the suffering aw
great as that of Northern Frame? Now
what Is to be done about It and whfjt
has boon done?
The American Free Milk and Relief
for Italy has .already begun work and
has saved thousands. The wUiole rhild
life Is threatened and that mean* the
future of Italy. Italy was our ally,
Shall we not help her? Wo have had
many calls for help, but when It takes
only 11 cents a day to keep one of these
babies alive can we turn our backs and
''pass by on the other side"?
The American Free Milk Association
has fed tiho babies of Belgium % and
France and are now OfttUtfc for help
for Italy. This Association works
with the Italian Government, which
gives free Transportation across the
ocean, free entry and free distribution.
I .very dollar is . snent in America to
purchase milk, medicines and rcfief
for Italy. With what patriotic pride
do we think- of our Country. "The
Good Samaritan" which has so nobly
helped Europe's suffering ones. And
now these little dying, starving child
ren whose undernourished mothers can
not feed them. Are we going to help?
Oh mothers and fathers, suppose you
saw your, child dying for milk and
you could not get ty, try to vision It,
bring ft home to yourselves and then
give to these starving ones.
At the Majestic theatre this week
and next you will find boxes for volun*
tar.v contributions. Next Sunday at
cjlcth of the churches there will be
boxes for the same purpose.

Re-Organize Associated Charities,
On Tuesday afternoon a meeting of
ladles representing the different chur
ches of the city was called by Mrs.
Margaret C. Miller tft~ discuss * plans
for re organizing the Associated Oharl
j ties of Camden. This meeting, was
held at the Library, and was well at
tended. All of the churches being well
-tfepresenled^cxcept the Baptist, and as
they had a missionary meeting bn that
afternoon they could not attend, but the
Baptist ladles and also the ladles of
the Jewish faith sent assurance of
their co-ojH'ratlon in this worthy nause
, Mrs. Miller also invited tlie ministers
and Mr. ^lodges of the Metiftodiat
church was present, the others finding
i' ImiHMslble to attend.
A plea for the re-organ I zat Ion of this
)?'uc'h needed Association has been
made several times through the Chron
lcle. Miss Charlotte Kershaw, always
a faithful worker, with sympathetic
heart for suffering humanity. wrote
an artier last fall urging tho people
I > come together In this important
work before the Buffering of winter
hofirmv. MIrs Kershaw's kind heart and
splendid mind was not physically able
to lead out.. Mrs. Margaret C. Miller
who has been. such an aetlve and suc
cessful social worker decided that It
should "hang fire" no longer, but that
she would call upon t1?e people of
Cauylen for organized and sympathetic
aid. Mrs. Miller told of many distress
l,nu eases that had come under her <ib
si?rvatlon, and the <t 1 ff Icul t task- In
bringing relief to those eases for lack
nf funds.
After much discussing and exchange
of. views It was decided to call a mas*
meeting next Sunday evening. Mr.
llodges offered the Methodist ehurcli,
find It was aceejxted. At this meeting
there will be one or two short address
es. a song service, or one or two musi
cal numbers, a meml)ershfp canvass,
election of officer*, and executive
board. The annual dues are only $1.00
