BETWEEN YOU By AND ME ? FRANK H. HEATH I Grandpa, hang on to your armchair. The baseball heuson is on and for many month* now the old atmoiplmro will he punctured by Ihe crack of the bat and the yella of the multitude. You Camden high achool fans. Don't Kit down in the mouth hecauae the local deaclploH of away dropped a m game. One awullow doe* not make a an miner and one defeat does not ruin a record. I've seen the beat of teama III the major league* take a aweet larruping from a tallend outfit Hack In that maddening hair-raising finish In the National league when the Ht. Iaiula Curdlnala and the Chicago Cuba were racing neck and neck for the (lug and the pennant dependent upon the reaull of a final home and home aerlea, thoac luaty clouting demona of Hill Wrjgloy upaot the dope bucket ooinpletely by mukliig the touted Cardlnula look like buah leaguera. Kven that cheat y chap named Dl/.zy Dean felt the pennant lual of the Cluba, hla slants being poked to all corner* of the lot. ? * * And ao, may I any, keep up that old Camden aplrit and root like the merry deuce for Coach lluan Small and hla gang. # Those Camden boy* who wandered over to Columbia laat Thuraday to aee the New York-Cleveland fracua at DreyfuBB field wore a Badly disappointed gang. The game lasted but a few inning* and It waa a terrible affair at the leuat. Mercifully Old Man Pluvloua took pity on the Giunta In the sixth Inning and poured auch a flood of water over the arena that the game waa culled, the acore reverting back to the fifth with Cleveland leudfng 7 to .'I. The Indiana had gathered five! run* in the firat of the sixth, but of I course these wore wiped out when It with impossible to complete the (Jlunt half of the frame. | I've seen a lot of ihoao barnstorm1 ing preseason tilth In my day hh a ' hporl writer and very few of them have been worth puying good old coin J 'of the realm for I !

"I Ih a htory of a aand lot player from 'Chicago who blew up into u Wisconhin city where they had a team in the Wisconsin-Illinois league. That play er wuh Milton Stock. He wuh given a tryout with the Fond du Luc team |and u chap named Dana, who was the official financial end of the club, with myaelf, liked Stock ho well that we perauuded the management to keep him on. Milt wuh playing ^short then and he wuh a sweet player. He wuh drafted by an American association ' team at the end of the season und "went Trom the A A to the majors. Then when bin work begun to peg out a hit he became manager down at Mobile. ? * * Milt for years used to send me tins of oysters from Mobile. And as I like oysters, they sure came In mighty ' hundy. * * * | Now let us turn the page and see what is happening In the work of soft ball. Yes slr-ee-ee-ee-ee. We're going i to have a real soft ball league and play twilight ball. I Was talking to Dewey Creed a fewdays ago about this soft ball stuff und Dewey is all set to put an Ksso team in the field. "Our soft ball pastimers will uphold the prestige and glory of Ksso gas," said the Ksso Oil King. I "We'll have a swelligent team in the Held and the pennant is won before the season starts. Watch our smoke or rather fumes." * # "Doc" Kutiderburk is a soft ball enthusiast and believe me hoys, it's' great to have "Doe" listed with us iu this project. If one breaks a leg, arm or neck, we'll have "Doc" on hand to adjust the fracture. * * * # # .lust had a letter from my old friend of tiie good old "stein" days up in Milwaukee. Max Severin, a descendant of Napoleon with his bones apart. Max is grinding his molars in envy and chagrin to think of me down here in the land of sunshine and flowers. Well Maxie old chap, I'd give a week's salary to have you down here with me. * * Work on the several tennis courts to be used this summer is progressing rapidly and it won't be long now before the boys and gals will be able to niuke good use of the newly surfaced pastime areas. I've been watching some of the young folks gamboling on th?- courts at the Hobkirk Ihn and it looks as If Camden haB plenty of nifty material in the tennis line. One little miss by the name of Sarah Sarah Sheorn wields a pretty racquet. * Our good friend, Major Hrnilsford, donned his 19:17 straw kelly and sallied forth on Camden's Fifth Avenue to join the Spring parade.

Camden Emergency Nursing School (My Frank H. Heath) Tiny feet that toddled stoekingless ueross the wooden floor, little mouths thut crinkled In broadening smiles. Thirty tiny heads, Home golden and some dark, and others with Junt the wispiest trace of lockw, all bowed over tiny hands A tiny voice, with the sweetness of a lute, suying "Mess, Oh lx>rd, Hi* food to our uhe and uh to thy Her vice," and from twenty-nine other roHobud lips came a fervent "Amun " What a picture. I gave thank* that I had been permitted to watch thin beautiful picture - a picture that every man uud woman in Camden ahould Hee. A picture, that at noon on five <1 ayh of the week, in presented in* the little rooiHa at the rear of the building buck of the court bonne on l>afayntte avenue, the building which in part houses the Camden emergency Nursing Hchool. From eighteen months old Hetty Williams, to boys and girls of four years, these tiny tots, children of parents who are in poor clrcum-1 stances, are given the care that is! required at their tender uge to make ' them grow Into sturdy luds and lusses. For the purpose of further paint ing this picture, which frankly could not he expressed in olj or pastel, so | beautiful it is. I want to tell of little I Hetty. Only eighteen months of age, Hetty is a model baby. She walks to her tiny chair when luncheon time comes. She hows her tiny golden head when grace Is offered, u liuy hand clasps a spoon several sizes too large for Iter and in a manner rem! niucent of the careful breeding that Is given?In this school, she eats trer dinner. Truly, this work that the school is doing is well worth public cooperation. I wish it were possible for every Camden citizen to visit the school, see what is being done and then determine to help carry it along. The school is under the direction of Miss Francis Hough, who is head teacher. Miss Laura Moseley. assistant; Mrs. Scott Dunn, dietician, and Mrs. Annie Miller, housemother. For three years the school has been in operation under the sponsorship of the WPA. When launched there were twenty little tots enrolled. Today there are fifty-two and the average daily attendance is over thirty. Five days a week the school bus rolls up at 9 a. in. und brings the little army of totH. At 2:30 i>. m. the bus takes them to their respective homes. Let us watch the schedule for a day. At 9 o'clock, .when the little folks arrive, they are given fruit juice and cod liver oil. Some of them who lid not have breakfast, tire provided tor At 9 .45 a. in. they go to the playground wlifere they frolic until 11 a tit At this time they are divided into two groups. The older group! lours stories and the tiny tots go to the wash room where, they pick out their wash cloths, towels and comb and proceed to clean up for dinner I w ish j on could see the titty clothes lines with the tiny cloths and towels and the wee combs. Then, comes luncheon and believe it or not one tiny babe, not more than throe years old, helps to pass the plates of balanced food to each little one. Then all bow their heads and some one in the group offers prayer. After luncheon is over another little tot at each table removes the dishes. Now all go to the dormitories and curl up on cots where they have a nap before leaving for home at 2:30 in the afternoon. This is a wonderful institution because of the good work being done for these little tots who otherwise would be undernourished. The majority of families from whence the little tots come are in unfortunate circumstances. 1 think the four women who are conducting this school deserve all praise. Not only must they carry on the regular routine which the children require, but they must devise means whereby some of the little folks who come almost threadbare, can be clothed. 1 understand that fully fifty wardrobes have been provided the tots by the faculty staff. The WPA pa>-s the workers in" charge, but there is no provision for the hiring of the bus. The county furnishes the dwelling for the school. How then is the bus provided? In the main, by the four teachers who lake the necessary amount from their own meager salaries. 1 rail that human kindness, real genuine charity and love of Immunity. lilt- lit tie tots need clothing, they need toys, and there are so nmny other things needed. I know that all these needs would be taken care of il t amdcli people saw what 1 did. Completed Special Course Mat ion.

Piant Buyers Beware! Insects and Diseases j With planting time at hand, vegetable growers should make sure that plants are free from insects and plant' diseases, suggests W. C. McCarley, county farm agent. Sweet potato and tomato plants ore subject to pest losses which are preventable, say entomologists of the Clemson Extension Service and the State Crop Pest Commission. Modern means of transportation increase possibilities of introducing new pests, such as bacterial canker, tomato pine worm, and the sweet potato weevil, the specialists point out, urging that any person planning to bring plants into the state should make sure the plants were inspected at the source and found free from insects and plant diseases. Plants Inspected and passed carry a tag showing authority for certification. [DOLLARD NAMED DEPUTY SHERIFF 8UMTER COUNTY J. L, Dollard, former rural police man for this county, wa?
