CHILDREN'S HOME CAMDEN, cj
-"A u.? l
A group of children with the matron holding the youngest in front of the Camden Children's
Home at 814 Fair Street. 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.

Guards To Sponsor
Amateur Production
A committee representing the Kershaw
Guards headed by Brevard Boykin
as their captain met on February
23 with u representative of the Universal
Producing Company of Fairfield,
Iowa, tije World's Greatest
Specialists in Amateur Production*
and made arrangement for the staging
of an utterly now and different
type of amateur production entitled
"The World's All Right." 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. Our men
ar^j never disappointed wlhen they
come to the Men's Bible Class of the
Lyttleton Street Methodist church.?
