jtodio Advertising
Soon On The Wane
too Pulkt rson writing in the Ohfcrute
Observer under date of June
rationed "The Hotel StenograJT
has the following timely artiV
on radio advertising as cdp^ared
-ith ne\vsP<'Per advertising:
?I suppose you buy that etuff beuge
u is advertised over the radio,"
^1(1 the H??uae Detective.
" ?1 bought it bedause I saw it adZaiwd
?** a nowsnpwPC"1, at a Prk'e
twenty per cent, lower than ,it was
E^seil on the radio!" retorted the
lotel Stenographer. "The only thing
rtdio advertising ever does to me is
iDiu>y mo when I want to listen to j
sonu'thirg

magazine and between every chapter!
1 had to read, in the sarnie style of j

"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

Much Work Done
by Club Women
Sojneone has said "The only organization
which will continue to live is
one composed of memfoera who are
more interested in what they give to,
rather than what they get from the
organization." 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.

Forestry Camp For
Kershaw County
Washington, June 1.?Fifteen additional
forestry ramps were allotted
South Carolina today in an executive
order1 'approved by President Roosevelt.
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."

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.

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

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
