Friday, April 30, 1937 NO MORE HITCH HIKING IN 8TATE The legislature has passed untl the governor has approved a bill prohibit In# what Is commonly known uh "hitch hiking" In the Htate. Thin haw raised a Htorm of protest from collego students who have been able to make use of their thumbs to get homo and back iih occasion presented Itself for them to ho away from their studies. The Press and Htandard Is not in favor of such legislation. The hitchhiker problem can be handled by the individual motorist. There has never been any law to cause a motorist to stop and pick up a person desiring a ride Many limes desirable companions are thuH accommodated and aid in passing little In pleasant conversation. Hitch hikers are as a rule good conversationalists, and If tlmy have travelled In other parts of the country can enliven a dull motor ride. Then there are those who need to have the accommodation of a ride. A hurried call to come home through sickness, or in some way to make u, trip Lack of funds prevents the Journey, but kind motorists can give ' a Itft at no expense und no Inconvenience, and thus render a Bervlce. If a motorist does not wish to stop to give the ride, there Is no need for him to do so lie can drive on. Then, there Is merit in what the college students contend. They never give trouble, and the writer of tills editorial has met some charming young men through a ride to the capital or to some other city. Always courteous and obliging, helping to drive, or In some way repaying the small inconvenience of the ride. Tills Is another evidence of the legislatures trying to dip into everything and to "pass a law"?unnecessary and provoking often.?Walterboro Press and Standard. GREENVILLE STUDENTS HERE FOR A SIGHT-SEEING TRIP Twenty-five students 'from the Greenville, South Carolina, high school will arrive in Camden Thursday afternoon and will on Friday be taken on a historical trip about Camden and Kershaw county by secretary Heath of the Chamber of Commerce and Mrs. Sidney Zenip, the latter to give the students tile story of the various historic spots as they are visited The group will be a mixed affair and the young ladies are to be quartered at the Ivy Lodge and the boys at the Camden hotel.

SOUND ADVICE TO YOUTH It wbn sound advice to youth seeking Its opportunity which F. E. Scat le, superintendent of the Henry Ford i Trsde Hchool, vc at lite "career con, fereuco" lately held In New York. ' Skill, personality and Imagination i count for more than "luck" and "netting the breaks," he sulci Luck dogs the heels of the competent worker with vlaloii and willingness to work. Industry is looking for skilled workere, und a place can always be found for the earnoHt, energetic man who ' Im willing to pay the penalty of extra work. Not only Mr. Seurle but other* ut the conference brought out the fact, which youth does not ulwuys realize, that the men and womey who gel ahead In the world are the once who act no limit on* their working hour*. For the unambitious the 40-hour week suffices. For one who would rise Lo a better Job, the less he thinks of his hours of labor the more {.'crtulu and swift Ills promotion comes. Leaders in business and industry do not come out of the ranks of "dock-watchera." The executives at the huud of any business always put in longer hours than do any of their subordinates. Men of experience know that so well that It does not ulwhyH occur to them that each new generation needs to be taught the eternal truth which Longfellow expressed in familiar verse: "The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight, Hut they, while their companions slept, Wore tolling upward In the night." Employers alwuys know which of their employees are "toiling upward In the night," and have them marked for promotion ahead of those who leave all thought of work behind them when the quitting whistle blows.?

The era has passed when 'twas thought "woman's place is in the home," not only In tiie home is she a moving figure, but in the county, the state and nation, as well.

In the opening Kuiue of the Camden Twilight Boft bull league. The lineup of these two teumu Was not uvullublo when tbU story wuh written, but It 1h nufe to Htate that both cuptalnH will be out for blood and the seven Inning struggle Will teem with thrlllH and egcitetneuL. Said Manager-Captain Mays, "You can Buy for me that we have no fears uh to what the outcome of thl? titanic Mtruggle agaluHt the followers of Capitalism and Wealth, will be. We are reudy to battle to the laBt ditch and believe you me, when the Htnoke of carnage has cleared from the field of battle, you will find the, banner of Khho flying In the breeze*."

We are going to win?there Is no question about It in my mind." Such sport celebrities as Dewey ('reed, Duck Smith, Don Morrison, Santa ('laws and Mussolini, as well as Halle Selassie, all predict a close battle Monday but they seem to give the edge to the Mays crew. Not ao, General Franco, however, for he forecasts a victory for the Khamo gang. As yet no word has been heard from the Duke of York, but ub soon aa he completes a telephone conversation with Wttllie, he may favor the sport writer with his Idea of the highlights in this game of games. Hut all Joking uslde folks?they are going to tip the lid of the soft ball 'season Monday evening and from that time on until Labor Day, the baseI ball pastime yard near the old highschool, will resound with the swat of the bat against the ball, the yelling of funs und all the noise Incident to a swelligant American crowd enjoying Itself. President Jack Moore of the Twilight League, predicts a fine season. Interest Is at white heat, not only amongst the players on all teams, but on the part of the baseball fans. A big crowd Is looked for when Umpire Small gives the order to "play ball.'" '1 here are eight teams In the league ?count 'em, eight teams of 16 players each or a total of 128 men going places iti an athletic way. Finest thing to keep the boys in condition during the long summer months. For the playing menu on Tuesday night we find the Merchants led by N. L. Lilly as captain and H. O. Wilson as co-captain, battling the Independents led by that sterling character or polo. Carl Lightfoot, and cocaptain Stanley Dabln. On Thursday night Bill Owens and hiA ftedfearn Motor gang take on the Professionals led by Doc T. B. Bruce, the Second, and Co-captain Doc Funderburk. On Friday night the National Guards battle the Fsso Cubs under the management and coaching of Dewey Creed. And just a word about that National Guard outfit. Brevard Boykin is the chap who is backing the military team and he says the Camden imp chine gunners are going to places in this great struggle for athletic supremacy. "When you hear my boys give that good old rebel yell, you'll know that we have started and then watch our smoke" said Captain Boykln. Bill Owens, who heads the Redfearn motors crowd has been playing buse1>;?il day and night since the matter was first broached by the Chamber of Commerce secretary. Bill Is so enthused over the recreational program for the summer that he blew into the chamber office Tuesday morning, planked down a five spot' and said, "(live me a membership in this organization. I want to go along with an outfit that is certainly going places."

'Practice makes perfect" says Bill Secretary Heath plans on calling all the hoys of high school age together the week after the spring festival is held and complete the organization of a juvenile soft ball league. I'.ven the damsels of the community have caught the ling and several requests for the organization of a girl's 1 league have been made to the secretary If such a league is formed it will probably be a four team affair Miss Mary Helen Flowers, assistant secretary of the Chamber of Commerce Is compiling a list of the girls who wish to play.
