The opening picturo will be "Hide Out," with the popular star Robert' Montgomery taking the part of the "City Slicker," and co-starred with Maureen O'Sullivan. It deals with a happy-go-lucky post-repeal racketeer who, believing he has everything .one could wish for in life?money, without working for i it, romance and pleasure?comes to i his senses after he has been driven from New York by the police, only to j find real love and happiness in a rural environment, Others in the Large supporting cast include C. Henry Gordon, Muriel Evans, Edward Brophy, Henry Armetta, Herman Bing, Louise Henry, and HarOid Huber. The picture was filmed by the well-known director, W. S.

To catch the true spirit of rural life, Director Van Dyke moved his entire company 400 miles northward from Los Angeles for the country location scenes. For two weeks the company lived on a typical New England farm, mingling with the farm hands and caring for the J livestock while the scenes were photographed.

Many Applications For Loans Reserved The First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Camden, S. C., is continuing to receive many applications for loanc and picking from them the better applications and granting loans upon these. A number of loans were closed this week. More good applications are being received than can be cared for due to the fact that local investors have not taken investment shares as fast as the opportunities to make loans have come in. For every hundred dollars in shares subscribed locally the U. ,S. Treasury subscribed three hundred, which means that for every hundred dollars invested locally in local loaris outside financing comes in our community in three times that amount which should, of course, be a great stimulus to subscription to shares and in the final analysis to business in the community. The investment shares are guaranteed by the Government under the plan similar to the deposit insurance in the bank, and should in earnings about twice as much as can be gotten from the savings department of the banks or from the Post Office. It would, therefore, seem to be good business to invest money in these shares and to save money through the /nonthly payment thrift shares. " Chairman Red Cross Drive Is Encouraged Rev. A. D. McArn is very much encouraged over the success of the annual Red Cross drive, which started on Armistice Day, Mr. McArn is chairman of this drive and has a very efficient organization to help him. Every part of the county has been visited and everyone has been given a chance to contribute to this worthy work. He has been fortunate in having canvassers who realize the wonderful benefits received from the Red Cross Society. They have centered wholeheartedly into the drive. Reports from all sections of the county are expect* ed to be in by the end of the week and if they are as successful as anti-, cipated the drive will be terminated at the end of this week. Th?. Program for the coming year iB to bo on a much larger scale in the county and with practically all of our citizens aware of the grfeat wdrk done by the Red Cross, they have responded quickly and cheerfully when visited by those canvassing ic/#^he drive. ~ ~ ^ Kershaw county hopes to be one W the first counties to "go over the top."

Forsythe, Florence, S. C., has announced that the two defeat Are towers located in Korshqw County at Camden and Liberty#^ are manned and towcrmcn and Hangers are on active duty, organising their forces to sid in putting out'Yovest Ares. The two Are towers which are located in the County were previously constructed from Association funds, and the telephone lines which were constructed, connecting the towers, were made possible through the'cooperation of the State Forestry Commission with the Emergency Conservation Work program at no cost to the County or landowners. W ,C. Perry has ifccep appointed Itanger for the Camden Unit and C. D. Cunningham ha* been appointed Hanger for the Liberty Hill Unit of the Kershaw County Forestry Association. This Association is cooperating with the State Forestry Commission in forest Are prevention und extinction and over 45,000 acres are included in the Camden unit and approximately 38,000 acre* are cooperating with the Liberty Hill Unit for intensive Are protection. The membership of this Association1 is vohintary on the part of the landowners who are paying 2 cents an acre a >cnr for protection. However, Mr Forsythe said that the lack of sufficient state funds for reimbursement purposes will prohibit the expansion of the service which 4an be received from the fire tower, and the Kershaw ~ County Forestry Association until such time as more fundB are made available for the State Forestry Commission. Appeal For Unused Kitchen Utensils One of the most worthwhile projects undertaken by the Emergency Relief is tho "Soup Kitchen" at the Camden -Sewing Room. A check was made on the lunches brought by the women for their midday meal, over a period of several weeks?before thQ "Kitchen" was es- " tabhshed. We found that the fbod brought by the majority consisted mainly of cold cornbread. Sometimes ' a co d potato and such food as they could get before leaving home We serve hot soup, white bread, " coffee and sandwiches for lunch and' they love it. A hot bowl of soup or ' a hot cup of coffee is warranted to makerthe best of us more cheerful and better able to do our work We find that the work has imESS* * ?~t extent since this ? iutchen} has been established.'
