V u Finals In Tournament Camden boys and girls busketbull ; teams reached their finals jn district tournament at Jlishopville. . ( The Camdon girls lost in the finals : to an older ' and more experienced 1 Churlotte Thompson team by u score 1 of 30 to 18. The inexperience and nervousness) of the local girls gave way to a 12 to 2 lead in the first quarter, but after! the first quarter the locals settled' down ami it was u "nip and tuck" uffuir. For Camden, iilackwell's guarding and Doris Mcleod's floor/^vork was outstanding, Myers shot \2/ points In the Lamar game in tnv semi A nals, the Camden girls won by the score of 2f to 12. Howell's guarding and lihetta McLeod's defensive work helped to keep the opposing team's score down Myers and Stink played well at forward. The Camden girls have played well and are to he commended for their excellent playing. Several of the larger and more experienced girls did not get to play in any of the games except county games due to eligibility requirements. '1 he Camden boys lost a thriller to Darlington 12 to 11. At the hulf-wuy I mark Darlington had a 11 to 4 score, hut the local lads put on the steum I und u I lowed the Darlington boys to score only one point in the socond half. This one point meant defeat. Should the locals huvo shot their free shotB the Camden hoys would havo won. The boys made a very good showing Reeves und Rhame were outstanding at floor work. The locals defeated Lamar in the semi-Hauls by the score of 30 to 10. Met With Mrs. West 1 he (jutes Ford Home Demonstration club met Thursday, February 18, with Mrs. D. A. West us hostesH. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mrs. James Fletcher. De- j votional was conducted by Miss Kate West. Roll call and minutes were read by the secretury, Miss Nell Se??gers. The month's project song, "Massa's in De Cold Ground," was sujig, led by Miss Fewell. A business meeting was held at which the club house committee gave their report on building the Gates Ford club house, and other business pertaining to the club was discussed. We then began tlie task of finishing our year books. Miss Fewell lias planned many very interesting subjects for our study. For February we had "Reflnishing Furniture" and "Reupholstering Furn- * lure on account of not having a meet-1 ing in January. We decided to have "Windows," March; April, "Pictures." < May, left for further discussion. Then Miss Fewell took charge of: the meeting. The picture for January was "Northeaster," painted by an American artist, Winslow Homer, a scene of billowing and dashing waves against the coast. The contrasting green, brown and blue brings out a very pleasant effect of reality. The picture for February was "Harp of tiie Winds," painted by an American artist, Homer D. Martin, a scene of tall poplars in their grouping as a mass reminded the fine painter of a harp. The reflections of Hie trees in the water carrying out the delicate colors of a gray day adds to the feeling of Calm and quiet. Other colors In contrast brown, green and pink forms a balance. The color effect is exceptional. The subjects for the two months of January and February, "Refinishing Furniture" and "Reupholstering Furniture." Miss Fewell gave a very interesting talk on both subjects. She told us how to repair, paint and reflnish furniture. Also howto remove scratches, wax and oil furniture. She first told what methods to use in beginning the task of refinishing furniture. Then she told us how to cut down furniture such as high wooden beds, bureaus, stands and mantels before the process of refinishing i8 undertaken. The next subject Was taken up "Reupholstering I- ifmiture." The first steps to take were to recondition the furniture, such as removing upholstery, reflnish wood exposed, and strengthen weak parts. 'I hen she told how to fix the springs, paddings and finish edges of furniture, giving an illustration on how these things were done. Both of these subjects proved to be interesting to all the club members present. For project work tills month we have nine objects to work toward: remove scratches, remove old paint from furniture; repair and paint furniture; wax and oil furniture; make slip covers and clean and turn window shades. We were very glad to have Miss Fewell with us this mouth. This was a business meeting, but we had a Valentine box in which all the members put in their Valentines. We omitted our Valentine party, games, but our local 'leader, Miss Nell Seegers gave several contests and riddles. A prize was given to the one who received the most Valentines. Mrs. Sam Hunter won it. She received the most Valentines, while Miss Fewell came second. In the contest a prize was given to Miss Fewell and Miss Kate West, for getting the most correct answers. All the members enjoyed the contest and riddles, but I think they enjoyed the Valentines best of all. Miss Nell Seegers Sflso presented each member with candy suckers or candy fruit drops, whicln wore greatly enjoyed. Then the hostess, Mrs. D. A. West, assisted by her daughter served delicious sandwiches, cake and coffee. On the account of sickness, bad weather and other incidents we had only an average of about 60 per cent at this meeting, but hope every one | of our members can be present and | bring some new members at our meetI ing in March. We meet with Mrs. [ M. Kirkley.?Contributed Rleyer Make# Monthly Report It W. lUeger, District Forester, whose headquarters are In Camden reports that dm lug the'mouth of January thirteen tires burned over 101 ;n res of the 1,U33,U?'?3 acres of woodland under cooperative forest lire protection in the Camden district. 'I he protect ion units under cooperative forest lire protection lit the Camden district ure in Sumter, Kershaw, l.ee and Itichlund counties, and the Jenkinsville Unit comprising 2H,330 acres in Fairfield county. Although the percentage of woodland burned over on all protection units in lite Camden district since July 1, 1936 is only .09 per ceijt, Mr. Rieger states that the height of the lire season has not been reached yet and the bulk of the fires will probubly occur lrorn March through.May.

There are approximately throe and one half million acres of woodlund in South Carolina under cooperative forest lire protection. Nine counties of the state are cooperating with the South Carolina State Forest Service in protecting the entire wooded urea within their boundaries. The increase in interest concerning forest lire protection on the part of larmers, landowners and the public in general would indicate that it Is only a matter of time until the entire wooded area of South Carolina will be under organized cooperative forest lire protection.
