Haigler Theatre
Opens Monday Night
Haigler Theatre opens Monday
night at 7:30 o'clock, under the management
of T, I/ee Little, who operated,.
the Majestic Theatre, this city
for nineteen years and knows the
demands of the movie-going citizens
ol Camden and Kershaw county.
This theatre occupying the old
Opera House -building has been recently
renovated throughout and is
now one of the most modern and well
equipped movie houses in the state.
The seating capacity is six hundred.
Mr. Little states that during the
winter season he will have vaudeville
acts, musical comedies and other add-;
ed attractions, the stage being suitable
for shows of this kind.
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. Van Dyke. -i
While the story of "Hide-Out"
opens in the gay spots of New York,
most of its action takes place on a
Connecticut farm. 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.
"Hide-Oift" marks Robert Montgomery's
first film appearance sine?
t"The Mystery of Mr. X." Miss O'Sullivan
was last seen in "The Thin
Man."

in Columbia this week on Tues-I
day selected Rev. J. B. Caston, pastor
of the Camden Baptist church to deliver
the annual convention sermon.
"A Life of Faith'.\ was prescribed
by Mr. Caston as the only remedy for
the puzzling situation now faced by
the church.
You cannot suppress the masses
by inviting them to revolution," he
said. "If you want to be disturbed,
look around you, if you want peace,
look up. We are living so rapidly we
do not take time to see where we
are going," the minister added.
In conclusion Mr. Oaston declared,
"There must be no waste. There is
only one life to live, so let us live
that life now?do not delay."

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."

Hangers On Duty
With tho beginning of the full forpst
flre season, District Forester, H. *
Y. 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.'
Some of the meat markets of the
city have been so kind as to contrlJSJjb
