This H!ja title affair and when the. gun ^lli(i8 for the finale the coveted own Of Champion will rest either Ka?i?>y or on Camden. H nom nil that we can gather from of the sport sojrlbps of the tte hm ?ame Is a natural In that ,00110 will venturp a dead open and bat opinion as to what the result [going to be. The remarkable show ^ 0t the two teams has been such Jit It has the so-called sport critics p hand and foot--up in the air? to apeak. Kauioy la reported to have a hoavy fast team. From all I have been Kle to glean the up-staters will have decided edge Q.n Camdeu^H|.y^h.t H,t we believe that Camden will show rtH being more alert and with a more precision. No matter how look at itf it Is going to be one tell game and your guess Is Just as ood as mine as to what team will Hperge a victor. 1 have a lot of oDfldence in this Camden machine ad look for precision and stratogy bring home the bacon.

Anyhow, that's my vote." the other sport writers on the comBtte with Rogers are Scoop Latimer the Greenville News, Banjo Smith the Columbia Record and David of -Greenville. --V Betters hate been mailed to the iches of South Carolina and they e being requested to mail their noni itionA of the three teams, or thlrty rco 111. n, to olther Latimer or Smith B November 20. The idea is that ? sport writer's committee will bo : twenty-two players from the ac l playing group, golfing in reserve Htrin playeps to draw from in case of the twenty-two cannot* accept. The coach to fee. named by the Hort writers will select his two aft tuntn from other head coaches. Only One-Choloe Blue is the logical choice of the Brt scribes tor head ooach of this ht&r outfit.

Heath) Camden muuleal aud stage talent acered a big hit at the Court Inn dinner dance last Thursday evening. The stage show , presented during the dinner hour featured exceptional talent on the p&rt. of the entertainers gnd drew salvos of applause from ithe several hundred diners. Miss Phyllis Karesh headlined an ftlhstar bill and her. tap dance specialty was comparable to the beat ?c fared by professional artists. The young lady Is talented and should attain marked recognition as a dancer. Miss Charlotte DuBoae, teamed in' with Dixie Boykln, offered their. te-! terpretatlop of artistic ball room dancing in a manner to arouse much enthusiasm. These two' artists possess real grace and their execution of difficult steps was graceful and carried an eXQulsite tineas. | Bill Rhame, as Fedor EsBolltovlcb, the fainhus baritone quite took the house down with hla Russian rendition of "Dark Byes." Bill has a fine voice and his mannerisms smacked of j*eal professional art. Miss Dorothy Creed, Introduced as the mystery ^luea singer, was giveii a thunderous ovation when she finished her singing of "Afraid to Dream." She also sang lp a trio number with. Bill Rhame and L. S. Mayer, and their offering of "Star Dustl1>h the Moon"| drew rounds of applause . George Rhame, Camden's tireless news scribe teamed with Nick Gettys! In a trombone and trumpet duet, scor-' ed heavily with Tommy Dorsey's theme song "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You." ? j Last buf? not by tfny means the least was oqr own Don Morrison, the town crier In a graphic description of the Japanese-Chinese war. His theme song was "Can You Hear^Back .. , I L. The Palmetto Swingsters furnished the musical background for all of the entertainment "numbers and for the dancing that * followed the dinner, j This Is a . distinctly Camden unit and you may toko it from me, they hro good. "Bud1! Zemp as trap drummer, knows I>1b sticks; L, S. Mayer knots' how to let his digits wander over the' strings of biB singing guitar; Johnny' .Mullen,. same day a football great, is a veritable artist on the clarinet, I while Nick Gottys knows how to bring sweet noteu, from a trumpet, j This Is also true of Doug Wooten, anlothfr trumpet artist with the group. GCorge Rhame can coax sweet "notes from that difficult Instrument, the I trombone. And as another drummer of the group our hat is off to Hank [Brothers. ?And tho leader and pianist, BBhn Schlosburg, knows his stuff in both of these departments. The "little maestro" * deserves a million pats on the back for giving Camden an orchestra that the com&unlty can well be proud of. And we stand back of everything we have said.

Red Cross Drive Opened for Members With red and white banners afloat, store windows brightly decorated, and people hurrying about the city streeta gaining subscribers* * Camden opened its Red Cross membership drive on Armistice Day* and will keep her workers busy until Thanksgiving Day calls a halt to all activity. And where does your hundred pennies go if you take a membership, and what does it accomplish once in the hands of this all-embracing organisation? There are many, many placep to whlch R to*? l""*1' end Just aa many people that it may help. A few ot your pennies may And themselves In China, where American money is good, and in the hands of some peasant, rendered homeless and hungry by the war.' And k tew more may go into some flooded area ot Amsixdca, and into the purse of a flood sufferer whose home has been washed away. ' Some of your coppers will go toward correspondence which locates a child who has lost his parents whereabouts, or toward reuniting a husband and wife, who have, through unuBual circumstances, been unable to find each other. The Red Cross yearly carries on a "lost and found" service of its own.' A little of your money will go toward bandages, or medicine, for some person brought into a first aid station nlong the highway, needing quick, thoughtful attention If his life will be saved. Still more of it will go toward ? the teaching of first aid, or toward teaching a class In life saving, and through these classes, saving many lives. In your own community your pennies may help a child suffering with pellagra by providing him with the yeast he needs to Btart on his way back to health. Or they may go toward giving gl&Bses to some young* person who has n$ver seen clearly and correctly, or to some old person whose eyesight is failing. Again your money may go toward helping a World War veteran, incanacttated and unable to work, or toward keeping him in a hospital where he will receive needed treatment. And so we see, that in Jolnitig the Red Cross, we are joining an organisation which has need of our membership,'and in "giving our money towards enlarging this organisation, we are giving money which is not wasted. 1 LONG TIME CITY ATTORNEY FALL8 AND BREAKS HI8 LEO For many years City Attorney L, A. Wtttkowsky had sat in safety In a veteran swivel chair in his office. But the chairj after giving years of faithful service, went haywire Wednesday morning and Camden's long time city attorney is at the Camden hospital with a fractured left leg. ah ironical fact that the veteran official has been instrumental In drafting safety regulations for Camden highways and byways, only?to fall victim to a refractory chair which he had used for many years in his own office. ? So 'far as Mr. Wittkowsky can explain, he was seated at hi* desk and having occasion to. swing around to reach ImIa Wwf nearby* the chair tilted suddenly and before Mr. Wittkowsky could make a move he was on the floor with a fractured leg ? the break being between the knee and hip. , SfcC ; -_~+ This is the se.cond time that the attorney has met with a leg mishap. Seven years ago he fractared the knee cap ojt h*8 rte&t Jos Mr. Wittkowsky has been head of the city legal department for some thirty-yoara and daring that period conducted the affairs ot the office In such a manner as to reflect credit upon his legal ability and good judgment. Hi* many fHenda regret hli misfortune and hope he will soon be on the nsad to recovery. ? ??< !? r~ -' -M - ' - ^ -> BUY TICKET8 HERE ?W - -* , - - . - ,i-i* ?*.
