Heath) That "preparedness would have " reduced the loan of American Uvea in the world war," vm the declaration ur Adjutant General James 0. Poster In ah address at Legion ball here on Monday night. The bead of tbe South Carolina National Guard declared himself ae being in aooord with tbe movement to place tbe nation on a greater defensive footing and was enthusiastic when be referred to the program to increase the National Guard Quota. a . The visit of the adjutant general to Camden added Impetus to the movement to provide a new armory for Camden. General Dealer referri ed to an armory as a "home" and Stressed the advantage that would ao< , i uh to Camden If a new stroetufe is erected here. He stated that it Would not only provide a better drill ball, but tbis same ball could be utilised for community affairs such as dances, pageants and. the like. It would be 100 by 75 feet in size. Such a building would be thoroughly modern and *' built to endure for many years. The meeting at LegiOQ hall, conducted by the Leroy Belk Post was outstanding as being of genuine import in many ways. Not only did It provide a greater interest In the movement for the new armory, but it also served to acquaint a large number of Camden citizens, not affiliated with the Legion but who were invited guests at the rally, with what is being done in the county by the National Guard. Captain Brevard Boykin with Sergeant Purvis Sanders and Edward lx>rick and a picked squad of khaki dad guardsmen-gave demonstrations in elementary machine gun drills and in the functions of the machine gun. Sergeant Sanders group showed the result of careful and thorough training in the assembling and firing of the gun while Sergeant Lorick drew rounds of applause In his demonstra 'inn as to the fnnrtlnnH nt th*> ^" He literally toOk the gun apart.and then reassembled it without any hesitation or error. ? Another highlight of the garnering was the appearance of Darrell Sam tiers, formerly chief bugler for the South Carolina National Guard, who gave a number of calls on his instrument. Despite the fact that Sanders has not been bugling for a year or more, his command of the Instrument and the tone produced indicated a thoroughness that drew great applaus^from those present. Efemont C. VonTresckow, an American Legionnaire.who' has retired and had been living in Canada and abroad for a long number of years, gave a most interesting description of Legion affairs in Canada and in particular of the emphasis that is placed on the observance of Armistice day. During General Dozier's talk he frequently referred to Major's Von Tresckow and A. M. Brallsford and also to Major William M. Cork, - the latter now connected with the adjutant's office of the state militia. City officials, headed by Mayor Os borne, representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, county officials and state officers were to be seen In the big crowd gathered in Legion hall to welcome the state militia group to Camden. Short addressee were made by Mayor Osborne, County Chairman | Redfearn, Senator Braslngton and others.

The move of the Camden Chamber is in line with the recpnt action of the Columbia Merchants association and has been taken up and acted favorably upon by nearly all of the Chambers of Commerce of the state. The request of the Camden Chamber In regard to the enactment of a suitable law avoids oonflict with any regulations of 'the Interstate, commerce aot In that the Uoense would cover display of goods, war^s or merchandise and not taking of orders. North Carolina now has such a law which has been In operation since June 30, 1937, and has been productive of splendid results. The law In question and which is suggested as a model for South Carolina legislation is as follows: "Every person, firm or corporation, not being a regular retail merchant in the state of North Carolina, who shall display samples, goods, wares or merchandise in any hotel room or In any house rented or occupied temporarily for the pucpose of securing orders for the retail sale of such goods, wares or merchandise so displayed, shall apply for In advAnce and procure a State license from the commissioner of revenue for the privilege of displaying such samples, goods, wares or merchandise, and shall pay an annual privilege tax of two hundred fifty dollars ($350), which license shall entitle such person, firm or corporation to display such samples, wares or merchandise in any county in this state."
