Camden Legion Ball
Team Doing Well
For the first time in u number of
yeurs Camden is enjoying some real
fast baseball. During the spring the
Camden high school made a fine showing
and now this team haH been replaced
with the American legion ball
team, which in practice games has
defeated teams fronni Sumter and Columbia.
They have also lost to the
same teams.
The elimination series of the American
l>egion teams of South Carolina
will start In about two weeks, and It
is hoped that the Camden team will
go far in that interesting elimination
contest. Fast teams from many parts
of South Carolina will clash, the winning
team .entering the Southern
tournment at CJastonia.
The local fans have backed the
Camden high school football teams in
a very satisfactory manner for a number
of years. The attendance was
poor during the high school baseball
games and has also been poor at the
American ^Legion games with neighboring
towns.
On Wednesday afternoon the Camden
American Legion team defeated
Columbia American Legion team of
two years ago, which Is not elegible
to enter the coming elimination contest.
It will be recalled that the Co
lumbla team made a wonderful show
lng at that time. The score was 13
to 5. Camden got twelve hits and
Columbia seven. Batteries for Camden,
Williams and McLaurin; for Columbia,
Higbe, Barbour and DeHines.
Many fans commented upon the
fact that Camden's prospects at the
beginning of the season were very
poor but each game shows wonderful
improvement. The team Is now fast
and snappy and deserves the support
of all the local fans, as the team has
been to considerable expense in purchasing
uniforms, bats And balls.
Come out and you will see one of the
best local teams that has entered the
field in the past "twenty years.

fho statu rural rehabilitation offices
[>f the Resettlement Administration,

Loans to community and cooperative
associations and to furm families
for participation in such associations
Is one of the means by which the .
federal government is helping farm ^
to gain now economic .security
and. according to Wolfe, fundH are
availubie now for such loans.
Cooperatives suggested for these
Houth Carolina counties include meat
curing plants, cane mill, feed grinder,
sweet potato curing house, breeding
animals, medical services, terracing,
cotton gin, caning plant, fruit and
vegetable cooperative marketing association,
dairy, peanut picker, hay
baler, mowing machine, truck for

plant, livestock marketing association,
tractor, and miik and cream route.
Loans for other types of needed cooperatives
are available, Wolfe Httid.
"With u number of cooperatives
now active in the state," Wolfe said,
"it is expected that many individual
loans will bo mado to farmers to enable
them to participate in these existing
cooperatives. In communities
not already served by such organizations,
services or cooperatives may be
organized."
Cooperatives increase individual
farm incomes by making possible
Joint effort to improve commodity
Ktuiulunls and assure better prices

products by cooperative
effort can bo developed under this

that submit sound plans on a basis
of a real community noed for the
service," Wolfe continued. "There
must be a sufficient assurance that
such an enterprise will be able to operate
on a self-sustaining basis. Proper
management also must be assured
to protect the interests of all, and
loans are made on terms suitable to
the sound operation of such enterprises."
