"The only thing rtdio advertising ever does to me is iDiu>y mo when I want to listen to j sonu'thirg ?|f ] was reading a story in a magazine and between every chapter! 1 had to read, in the sarnie style of j (vpe, an announcement of Snappy Shingle Shapings as it * breakfast food, I would stop reading that mag?iine. -I "If I read a newspaper which printed an undertaker's ad in the middle of every account of a traffic accident, 1 would subscribe to another newspaper. "When 1 want to buy something, Kelley. I look in the advertising pages of the dai|p papers where advertising belonga?v and wheme it doesn't interfere with the news I am reading. "Hen don't know anything about advertising. Women buy eighty per cent of all the things which are ho^ht in this country, and they buy them because they read albout them in the newspapers. "Lf you want to know the kind of advertising that pays, watch the newspapers and listen to the radio, and then go down to a department store and look at the crowds around the counter.- where the stuff advertised in the papers is sold, and then drift over to the lonesome counter where the stuff advertised by radio is sleeping undisturbed on the shelves. "There isn't, any use {passing a law to st. p radio advertising, because one of these days bhe radio advertisers .tie going to begin to key their radio advertising and find cut how few people buy things when the announcemer.t of those things comes to them in the form of an annoyance j while they are listening to some nvu- j lie or to a chapter of a mystery story. "I'm not going to buy thdngs when they are offered to me like a panhandler annoying me when I aim out for a at roll and enjoying myself." I Would Award Negro For Rescuing Child Dr. C. F.

Service is one of the cardinal principles of demonstration work, thus it has stood the tost and has continued to grow. There are 495 women enrolled in Home Demonstration club work in Kershaw county. This enrollment represents eight pen organized clubs in various communities of the county. That these women are interested in every phase of home ami community life is shown by tho different contests entered. Seventy-seven have | entered the yard and garden contest; i seventeen are garden demonstrators I for the Clemson-Winthrop horticul! ture department; nineteen have entered the kitchen contest; seven the fence contest sponsored by the Pittsburg fence company; fourteen have entered the various canning contests ?making a total of 134 women doing special demonstration work. There pre twelve organize<l Girls' 4-H clubs with an enrollment of 275. These clubs include first year food, second year food, room improvement, clothing and some miscellaneous members are doing gardening ami poultry work. The Senior Girls' club which is com/posed of older girls who are not in school, have a varied program. They also meet once each month in the office of the home agent. The members of this club were invaluable help at the women's camp which was recently held at the 4-H Gamp at Lake Shamokin. The next big event that the Home Demonstration Club- women and 4-H Club Girls are looking forward to is the state short course which is to be held at Winthrop college June 2<J to July 1. All women expecting to at! tend the short course should notify Miss Sadie B. Craig, the home agent, | during the week. Florists To Observe National Shut-In Day Arrangements have been completed to distribute quite a number of j blooms to the sick and disabled of 'this city Saturday, when the first annual National Flower Shut-In Day will be observed. The program of flower-giving, according to Wlm. L. Goodale, chairman of the local Shut-In Day committee, will be carried out in 2,200 cities of the United States and Canada, under sponsorship of the Florists' Telegraph Delivery Association and other organizations interested in the sick. Flowers will be distributed to. the local hospital. There, unfortunates who otherwise are unable to enjoy the Juno fragrance and sunshine will | be cheered by gifts of bouquets and potted plants. Deliveries also will be | 1 made to individual shut-ins confined in their homes. Their names and ad-j dresses have been obtained through the local organizations and the different churches. Death Among Colored Folks Lou Reynolds, former Camden woman, died at the home of her son in New York and her body was brought here for burial Wednesday. "Aunt" IjOU was well liked by both races. She was the widow of the late Hampton Reynolds and she and her husband reared a most respectable family of sons and daughters. They are James Reynolds,- of Asheville, N. C.; Lottie Beli Reynolds, Russell Reynolds, Carrie Reynolds, Ellen Cooke, of New York and Susie Doby, of Camden. Bertha Whitaker, widow of the late "Buck" Whitaker, of Camden, died j at the home of her mother at Estill, j S. C., Tuesday afternoon.

The camps, described as "private lands" camps, each will have 200 members of the civilian conservation corps. They will located in Kershaw, Florence, Colleton, Aiken, Berkeley, Marion, Charleston, Jasper, Dorchester, Georgetown, Williams-' burg, Sumter, Beaufort, Horry and Fairileld counties. Previously only one forestry campj in Oconee county, near Walhalla, had been allotted South Carolina. In the same order, North Carolina was allotted It new "private land" and one "state land" camp. The new list of forest work projects, totaling 257 camps on which more than 50,000, young men will be employed this summer und fall in 35' states brought to 1,560 the total number of forestry project^ approved. Approximately 200 members of the civilian conservation corps will be employed at each camp, Robert Fechner, director of emergency conservation work?,said. .Soil erosion, forest improvement, Are protection, construction of trails, building of lookout towers and all types of reforestation will .be included in the work to bo done. These camps, with two already established, each to accommodate 200 men, will provide for 3,400 workers, approximately the state's quota for the forestation corps. Each camp site is in a separate county. The state forester and relief council officials said they understood the plans were for location of South Carolinians in camps in this state and the workers would be moved in as soon as they complete preliminary training and necessary arrangements are made. All except a camp already set up in the Nnntahala National forest, I Oconee county, will be "private land" [camps. The state forester explained this meant the camps would be located on tracts the owners of which already have organized for co-operative forest protection. Describing the president's forestry undertaking as "one of the most outstanding economic programs of all times," Smith said "it is to be regretted" that South Carolina does not have state forests for location of the camps. Eleven of the counties where the 15 j now camps will be located, Smith explained, contain land now under protection in co-operation with the state forestry commission. These counties are Colleton, Aiken, Berkeley, Charleston, Kershaw, Jasper, Dorchester, Georgetown, Williamsburg, Sumter and Fairfield. The four other <cpunties selected for c^mps are -members of the Coastal Forest and Game Protection asso' ciation. They are: Marion, Florence, ' Beaufort and Horry. One "private land" camp already has been located in Greenville county on a 48,000-acre co-operatic protective unit near Caesar's Head. In commenting on selection of the conservation workers, Smith said the program is "essentially an unemployment relief program, but carries with it the idea of reforestation in all its phases . . . "The work to be done is work whose completion will mean a betterment of the state in which we live. The work will be needed work but it will be work which would not have been carried out in this period, and therefore the carrying on of the work under this project willjiot mean the displacing of othej/labor. "At the time when 3,500 men move into the forestry camps 3,500 competitors of the married man who remains at home are immediately removed from the competition of that man for any job that may occur. "Thirty-five hundred boys cannot be taken from their homes into the counties of South Carolina and put upon forestry work without returning to their homes with a somewhat different conception of what forestry really means." m * ?*h Two midshipmen of the naval academy at Annapolis, and to have been among the. list of graduates, were dismissed because of having made untrue statements about an offense they had committed.

V *V | Annual Contests To Be Held Tomorrow | The 4-H Club Girls of Kershaw county are looking forward to the annual contests which will be held I at t he Court Ht>u*e next Saturday afternoon, June 10, at 2 o'olock. The six girls winning in the contests will represent the county, at the State Short Course to 'be held at Winthrop I College, June 26 to July 1. They will 1 also compete for district honors.

There are 275 girls enrolled in 4-H dab work in Kershaw county. Many of these will enter the county contests next Saturday, says Sadie B. Craig, the home demonstration agent. Wimberly Boys Have Gone To McCormick Newell Wimberly and Paul Wimberly, sons of Ihr. and Mrs. C. F. Wimberly, left Tuesday for positions at McCormick. Paul will be in the assayer's office of the Pioneer Gold Mine, near that place. Newell will be associated with htm, learning the general work of mining engineering. Paul, who graduated last year,. at Georgia Tech, has been doing post graduate work in the line of mineralogy and kindTed subjects in line with his work at the mine. These young men will bo connected with the organization of W. A. White, the discoverer of this rjch mine of gold ore, and has now extensive camp operations. Ho has had several flattering offers for this proposition of over a half million dollars and one-fourth interest in the output^ but since he has succeeded in handflin^tljo financi es to where he has reacheo^pying production, he has refused all offers. It is fortunate for these young men to be associated with this enterpiising and practical miner, who has had more than twenty-five years experience in the largest mines in the country. He does not hesitate to say that this proposition has the promise of being the greatest bonanza in all Hi s experience. Teriffic Sand Storm Tuesday Afternoon Tuesday afternoon about four ./clock Camden and the surrounding territory was visited by high winds, a eompanied by the densest cloud of I dust ever seen here. It became so [dark that automobiles had to turn on I their lights far safety, and out on the highways they were compelled to stop by the roadside. A slight shower of rain soon followed, accompanied , by considerable electricity. A terrific bolt of lightning struck a pole in front of the postoffice, but fortunately no damage resulted. The wind blow down several limbs and a few decayed trees, otherwise no damage was done. The rain and breeze temporarily broke the hot spell. The rain was not heavy enough to do very much good to vegetation and crops are still suffering from the drouth.

" * *>*'2 . - - Camden Boy Writes of Life at Benning . Hhrold J, McNIneh, member of company 1400, oif the Community Conservation Coips, send* The Chronicle the following interveting letter from Fort Benning, Ga., under date of May 80, telling of their camp life: "Probably it would be of some interest to! your readers to know what this preliminary training at Ft. Banning hu? to (U> with this vast reforestation . program and what wo, the boys from your community, think of i{' t J "The two weeks training period j prior to the actual, reforestation work I.HI well worth the time Hind money) spent by our national government.' On entering the training camp each) j individual is put through a rigid phy-1 ! sical examination, which, if he pass-, J es, proves that he is flit to live with a group of boys wjjjbout danger of. contracting or spreading any disease,. Then begins the actual training. "The camp is run on regular army) style with a regular army personnel! J at the head of each company. Bach; day the. whole company goes through a regular routine consistin^^of exercise, lectures; drills, work, recreation and the like. "Daily setting up exercise is an iimportant feature in the daily program. It is conducted by one of the army officers ahd it serves to put you in good sh^ne for the rest of the following routine. "i/cctures are gtivon on sanitation, physical development, Americanism,, and otheT inxportant stibjects. Each, lecture is conducted by one thoroughly familiar with the subject and it is seen to that we practice what is preached to us. "Drills aro given to familiarize a boy with the methods used in moving in a group. This is turned over to the boys selected .from the recruits according to their previous military training and their natural ability to lead. "Work is probably the easiest feature on the daily program. It is so divided that each person does his part and makes it easy for every one. Work consists of erecting tents, cleaning camp sites, policing the camp area, building of showers latreens, kitchens, mess hall, and the like. "There are many ways for us to use our recreation period. Each company is equipped with an athletic field divided into a baseball diamond, volley ball court, horse shoe pitching area outfit. Gymnastic equipment is also furnished. Iiikes are almost daily occurrences which carry us over many interesting parts of this vast 97,000-acre reservation. A boxing and wrestling ring is open to all of the camp and there is a good lift* gram in this line every night, sponsored by a regular army athletic director. The post provides a circulating library, furnishing good reading material to those who wish to so indulge. "The cooking nnd feeding is under the supervision of the regular army cooks with assistants from-beys m" each company. No one <^\ild want any better food. It is of "the best quality and is expertly prepared. Not a single person has yet wanted for lack of enough to eat and the whole outfit seems to be gaining weight. /J. "We sleep six men to a tent which provides plenty of room and excellent sleeping conditions. "By the time our two weeks of training is up we will be ready to tackle any job that Uncle Sam sets for us to do. And are we glad we got in on this Cop-vmunity Conservation Corps plan? Gh boy!" ? dhild Had Narrow Escape On last Saturday while Billy Thrower, five-year-old sen of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Thrower, and a small colored lad, J. B. Boykin, were playing in an old chicken house in the yo/d of Billy's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. R. Luther Bell, on Iafayette avenue, he almost met with a fatal accident. The chicken coop was one of the type built on stilts, with a small opening in the bottom, through which the child had climbed and while playing with excelsior and matches the tinder like stuff caught on fire, trapping him in. Had it not been for the quick thinking and action on the part ofc- the colored lad Billy might have been severely burned, but luckily he escaped with only -painful but not aerioos barns which have received medical attention. Both I his arm a, part of his face and the I so lee of both feet are burned badly.
