Red Cross Drive Will
Start Armistice Day
The unnual drive of the American
Red Cross -will atart on Armistice
Day, November 11th. Rev. A. Douglas
McArn has been appointed chairman
of this drive for Kershaw county
and is now very active organizing various
committees that will assist in
this work. Not only is he to be
strongly organized in Camden, but
will .also visit Kershaw, Bethune,
Blaney and other parts of the county
to organize there.
Everyone is familiar with the wonderful
work done by the Red Cross
society. There is hardly a day that
some big disaster doesn't visit some
part of the country and you will find
the Red Cross active in nursing, feeding
or housing people in distress.
Many have an idea that all of the
government aid given through such
organizations as RFC, OWA, FERA,
etc., is sufficient to take care of work
heretofore done by the Red Cross, but
that is all wrong. Your membership
is needed just as badly as ever, and
thjire must be no slowing up of the
program that has been so successfully
carried out for so many years.
The Red Csoss memberships areTi
Annual, $1.00; contributing, $6.00;
sustaining, $10.00; supporting, $25.00.
A statement of the Red Cross expenditures
for Kershaw county will
be given in a later issue of this paper.
The scope of work done by the Red
Cross is so large that it is difficult to
tell of it in a short article, but a few
things will be mentioned:
Thousands of children, reached'
through Red Cross public nurses,
have had conditions of malnutrition
discovered and checked that this generation
may not pay in future years
for deprivations in childhood.
Safeguarding an expectant mother
has been an important work of Red
Cross nurses during these years. The
nurses aided in the birth of more
than. 19,000 babies, and they also
made 1,289,000 visits to or in behalf*
of more than 100,000 maternity cases.
Sick and disabled veterans and their
dependent families have been the
special charge of the Red Cross and
the recurring problems of hospitalization,
claims and welfare continue
a vital concern. tThe
Red Cross has trained thousands
in first aid work and thousands
in life saving work. They have a
small army of nurses and workers
available for big disasters,
The Red Cross has. cared for your
fellow citizens?victims of unemployment,
drought, tornado, flood, earthquake
and other causes of distress.
They have cared for the hungry,
needy, sick and Injured.
This great work must continue and
you are expected to join in the great
annual drive which commences on
Armistice Day. Rev. McArn hopes
to be so organized that the drive will
be brought to an end long before the
usual time. He feels that it will suit
everyone concerned to make this a
quick and successful drive.
- Join now?your - membership isneeded
to keep the light burning.

Game Association
v Meets Wednesday
^ The next meeting of the Fish und
Game Association of Kershaw County
will bo held on Wednesday, November
7th, at the American Legion llall at
7:30 p. m.
1 he club is counting on having the
state president, "Zan" Heyward that
night and a full attendance is expected
to be present to hear an interesting
talk by Mr. Heyward, who is very
much interested in the conservation
of fish and game. He is an authority
on conservation and a lover of outdoor
life.
The club will dispense with the
little supper at this meeting, but
members can get sandwiches and
drinks from the fountains near the
Legion Hall.
The association had a most attractive
booth at the County Fair, which
was in charge of Ralph Chase. Quite
a few new members were obtained by
Mr. Chase and his assistants during
the .Fair. Many have paid their annual
dues. The annual dues are payable
October 1st, which is about the
time the hunting season opens.
A full program is being planned by
"the association for the coming year,
including the state field trials in the
Spring. A secret committee will be
appointed by the president of the club
to report violations of game laws, and
to cooperate with the game warden.
No one but the president knows who
is a member of the committee.*One
thing this committee will ^'particularly
active in is breaking/ up of sell- '
and buying partridg^j, shooting
otit of season and trapping" fish. The
person buying partridges is- just as
Hable to a fine as the person selling
them. ,
Quite - a number of ladies have
joined the association and will be on
hand at this meeting; also many tourists,
who are now arriving daily. The
county game warden and the members
of the county legislative delegation,
'as well as the newly elected members
are especially invited to attend this
meeting.
The association has received an invitation
to the Clover Leaf Field
Trials, which are to be held at Clover,
S. C., on Tuesday, November 20th.
The amateur and all-age derby is
open to pointers and setters to be
handled by amateurs and silver trophies
to first, second and third winI
ners. There will also be an "open
, all-age derby, in which 75 per cent
of the entry fee will be divided three
ways?50, SO and 20?with an-entry
fee at $15.00.
Mr. Hardin, president of that association,
expects to have dogs from
his section in the Camden field trials
next Spring.
Rogers' Next Picture
Will Include Quillen
A director and script writer from
Hollywood, Calif., are in Fountain
tfih conferring with Robert Quillen,
bfie of South Carolina's most distinguished
writers, on the filming of a
picture to be entitled, "Life 'Begins at
Forty."
Quillen, who is a nationally known
paragrapher, in private life is the
edutor of a small country weekly, The
Fountain Inn Tribune, in which he
writes of life and things in. jusi the
way he sees them and feels about
them. Oftentimes he steps on toes
that squirm but he continues to wTite
and does a great deal of good with his
homely philosophy.
The inimitable Will Rogers, in the
picture, "L?if$ Begins at Forty," will
play the part of a country editor,
founded on the life of Quillen, and
reports are that many pictures in and
around Fountain Inn will be "shot."

opportunities for development.
Rotary Club Notes
Nick Gettys had charge of Thursday's
Rotary meeting and had as his
speaker Samuel Russell.* Mr. Russell
spoke of the forefathers of our
citizens as they lived seven hundred
years ago. Having travelled in Europe
extensively and having made a
study of the history, both modern and
ancient, his talk showed the result
of deep study on his subject.
He told of . young boys being taken
through special courses between the
ages of seven, fourteen and tv^entyone,
training them especially to become
knights. After achieving fame
as horsemen and with the lance, they
sent out challenges to the best horsemen
of their owr> country or other
countries of Europe and their combats
were witnessed by holiday
crowds, usually with women as judges.
Mr. Russell's talk was well received
by the club,
Next week's program will be in
charge of Rev. A. Douglas McArn and
the following week in charge of Marion
Heyman.
Attention was called to the club of
the rescue of two girls from drowning
at the 4~>H camp last summer by
RevT"W. Bradley and the Community
Service Committee was asked to
make a report ofl same at the next
meeting of the club.
Plans are goinff to be worked out
for an inter-city Rotary meeting between
the Sumter and Camden cluWs
to be held in Sumter at a later date.
The visitors were: George Waterhmi**
of Charlotte; L. JL*. Clyburn,
of Camden. The visiting( Rotarians
were: George M. Wright^ of Great

they can escape facing a magistrate i
by purchasing the tags now and dis- !
playing thorn before November 12, the

While a hundred thousand people '
have purchased the new licenses, -1
thousands of others throughout South
Carolina delayed buying their's until *

Redfearn Motor Company between ;
the hours of 9 a. m. and B p. m. on

secure their licenses through the field 1
offiCCr, Stroup said that the depart- '
merit in Columbia could handle by 1
mail directly. All orders must be ac- 1
companied by money order or certi- 1
