A drive is now taking place to raise $4,000 for the running expenses of the current year, under the leadership of Warren H. Harris, treasurer. There are now twenty-four children in the Home. (Photo by E. T. Start) In connection with the drive to raise $4,000 for the expenses of the Camden Children's Home for the current year, many persons have asked if they cannot do their bit in some other way besides cash contributions. The Home needs many things which may be stored away in attics and considered useless; among them single beds and cribs, blankets and I quilts, curtains, children's books and toys, high-chairs and clothing. Others may prefer to give a more i individual gift -than a cash donation. If so, there is a large range of choice as so many things are needed, in eluding a sun room for the babies, an isolation ward for sickness, a separate room for the matron, stoves or some other centralized heating, the addition of another large room, so that the Home can take more children as there is a long waiting list. During 1934 the Home received some helpful gifts, including paint for wull repairs, curtains for the I babies' room, paint for inside wood work&and outside of the house and all build&igs, material given for addition of new loom built by the government paid labor, and a concrete wading pool in the back of the house which the children greatly enjoyed during the summer- months. | The Camden merchants have been most generous in giving merchandise and extending credit at all times. Anyone who has not been asked to contribute and who has something to donate is urged to get in touch with any member of the Drive Committee, headed by Warren II. Harris, treasurer. John K. deLoach heads j the Town Committee. Members of; the Hoard of Directors who are on! the drive include: Mrs. William J.I Mayfield, president; Mrs. A. Dalton Kennedy, Mrs. Woods Robinson, Mrs. George R. Cook, Mrs. Eugene Clark, Mrs. John Devine, Robert M. Kennedy, Jr., Samuel 'Russell and T. S. Goodale.

This production is to be staged on March 2829 in the High School Auditorium^ "The World's All Right" is a sFfisationul piece of entertainment and as it has been said you will cheer lip when you see "The World's All Right." This production is a musical show with a fast moving plot. Is utterly different from any other type of entertainment that has ever been produced in this community. The story of the production is laid in a Broadcasting Studio and deals with the efforts of the Announcer Jimmy Waddell and his Secretary, Jane Rogers, to overcome all types of situations and stage a big feature program. The audience is actually taken hack stage in the broadcusting studio where they see how the numbers are staged before the Microphone. Bill Collectors threaten to close the Studio, some of the talent refuses to appear because they have not been paid but the Announcer by clever impersonation keeps the program moving and his Office Boy, Joe, saves the day by staging the smash number, "The Harlem High Steppers." Interspersed throughout the show are such sensational scenes as the Tiny Tot Parade, using 100 children for the Story Hour. The Vested Choir, the Quartette, the Hill Billy Scene and the Stars and Stripes Revue. Each of these are outstanding numbers and are deftly woven into the plot, so they become an actual part of thq show. "The World's All Right" is a better costumed production than any that has been staged in this community in a long time. A great many costumes are used in this production, Many different songs are used in the staging of this production. You are sure to cure your "blues" when you see "The World's Al^ Right." Wherever this show has been staged it has 'been a sensational success and promises to be the high spot of entertainment in Camden, this season. No one can afford to miss attending "The World's All Right," on March 28-2)9. Watch .for particulars in regard to the cast and other details. "Liberty and Bondage" The Men's Bible Class will meet at the usual hour?10 a. m. The mesj sage for the men will be the above. We shall be glad to welcome all our old members with us, and urge them to bring their friends along. You will not regTet it. Our teacher, !>r. Wim- berly never flails to bring us a live, earnest, -practicable message. Be sure to arrange to be present.
