The Town I By J CRIER! i FRANK H. HEATH M | Orchids to the Playmakers' Guild lor tho very fiue presentation of Ooodbyo Again" at the high school auditorium last Friday night. It waa Ub fine an amateur offering as we have ever eat through. In fact, it waa quite out of the ranks of amateurism. see Too had that several score of people who were couretous enough to be J In their seat# at curtain time had to| lose the line* Of a portion of the first j act because of the confusion and j noise occasioned by groups of belated arrivals taking their seats. e e s e To our way of thinking, the 8: SO hour is plenty late enough to have a tlrst curtain, and pardon our saying so. arrival after that hour was entirely inexcusable. ' The only way to check this straggling habit is to refuse to seat anyone coming in after the curtain has gone up. ? Did you see Carl Lightfoot play Sunday against the New Yorkers. That lad is a wizard on a pony and I provides so much color in his riding that he has the whole crowd of rail\ t.. > _ .,..111 l- i ?Mil HO |'UH A 4 SJl iliUl Don Morrison came in to inquire if I could tell him who the shortestlived people on the globe are, and 1 could not resist saying, "Abeaentminded pedestrians." * ICleven million men and women pounding on the pavements of our ci- . ties and riding the rods across tho j country in search of jobs. Billions ofj idle unemployed dollars in the banks. Which causes me to rise and inquire if it would help any to recall Herbert iftniver's "grass in the streets" picture? Or would it? Putting a man in office to bring the country out of a depression is like j sending a dog into a briar patch to ! retrieve a ball. When he brings It 1 out you have a devil of a time getting it away from him. We note by a press dispatch that Wisconsin sent a lot of cheeses to congress. Boy, howdy! knowing some of tho birds personally we'll tell the world that the term "cheeses" Is Lops. * I And back to the best paper in thej south, the Charleston News and Courier. The editor says that It is unthinkable that the King of England orj any member of his family would undertake to capitalize on their stations by writing for a price. A book by the King would command uti oiioi iiiomh Male while talus and stories by the queen would uteau a .fortune lu returns from magaatues and newspapers. The oontraat of the Drltlsh inouarch and hts family to the family In the American white house, says the News and Courier, la shocking to million* of Americans who object to the Roosevelt family oommerclallaing the president's title. e e It Is a source of great elation tor Camden people that the world haa expressed lu a great voice approval of the oplatoa of Bernard Baruch, a | native son, who spoke his mind to the Washington administration In no uncertain terms and with no purpoaa of any gain for himself. There Is oouatry-wide agreement that Mr. Baruch's well-considered testimony means somethlug. A friend spoke in sorrow of a loader's mistaken course. Give credit where credit 1? due. A New Yorker driving a big Cadillac stopped at the Chamber of Commerce office and came In to express his admiration over the cleanliness of tho lllling station at Fair and DeKalb streets. What struck him as being worthy of praise was tho fact that the rost rooms were kept locked and Roys banded only to customers. We checked up and found this station Is a Gulf station, operated by S. Wiley Hogue. And Wiley said the New Yorker was right In his account of the locked doors. The rest rooms are as neat and clean as a well-kept bathroom In a private home. You're welcome, Wiley. The Columbia Record scores a bull eye In the following editorial com meht: "Boutjh Caax^ina may have reached a plateau In Its industrial! zatlon, and its neighbors seem to have the edge on it lm getting new industries, but If so its future and the future of Its citizens are something less roseate than they should bo. How many of the candidates for office were telling In the campaigns how they were going to do everything within their power to bring new Industries Into the state? How many have they brought in? How many prospects have they frightened off?' For over a year now this office has howled its head off at the multiplicity of tax laws that has scared heck out of Industry seeking to come Into the state?and what has it got us? Absolutely nothing: ? " And orchids to the Charleston News and Courier for the very timely inquiry, "In your opinion, are the congressmen and the president more concerned to make the country prosperous and safe or to get themselves reelected?" A BOUQUET FOR "COTTON ED" Senator Hiram Johnson, of California, an opponent of the farm bill spoke In part as follows: "I want to congratulate the senator from South Carolina (Mr. Smith). The senator from South Carolina was alone on the conference committee. He dealt apparently by himself. The senator from South Carolina obtained the one great concession that was obtained In the conference report, found In the amendment that was read by the senator from Oregon (Mr. McNary). The senator from South Carolina haB again enthroned King Cotton. King Cotton Is written * throughout this bill and the bill in every aspect Is written around him. The senator from South Carolina deserves well of his constituency. He has done a faithful Job for them, and for that service they should be ever in his debt. I trust they will remember it In the days to come, even though the other members of the conference committee may have forgotten the particular service that he rendered to his people during that long conference. I take off may hat to the senator from South Carolina for accomplishing the result that he did in this bilL"?Congressional Record.

Wants to Commission | Woodward Airport Knowledge of the fact that iho Woodward-airport Is potentially one of the greatest assets Camden possesses, the chamber of commerce luia taken a^opa to have the airport commlaaion, provided for In a apodal act of the legislature, March I. 1S3H. reatorud to full membership for control of the field. Mayor-elect Francis N. McCorkle haa expressed hla approval of the plan and stales that he will give *11 the aid that hla office permit* to the end that the seven member oominls alon be formally launched and placed Ui control of the destiny of the air field. | From Information obtained by the chamber of oommsroe, it la apparent that travel by air 1* becoming an Important factor for an increasing number of people, and the community that offers the beat airport facilltlea will be the community that will gel the stopovers and ship servicing Camden, according to leaders In the avtutlon held, has one of the largest, if not the largest, airports In the state of South Carolina. The winter colony of the community features a type of people who have the means to own ships and Indulge In the luxury of alltravel. For these reasons It Is apparent that some steps must be taken to have woodward field glvsn care and maintenance. For some nine years, little has been I done at the airport, it has, In tact, ! been a "wasted asset." Several ati tempts were made to place It in comJ mission, but they all were failures. Last fall the chamber of commerce interested a tlyer named James Wood in the airport and today the field Is a scene of dally activity, ships coming In for stopovers, for servicing ami [ for storage. With Wood in the venI turo was a local air-minded enthusiast, Capers Zeinp. Dexter Martin, of the South Carolina Aeronautical commission has taken an active Interest in tho program to build up the field. State aid for mowing the weedB and tall grass from the area was forthcoming, and with help given by the city and county, the field was made safe for the use of planes. Considerable work In leveling up the terrain, renovating the hangar, and the like, remains to he done. The state law provides for a commission of seven, two from the city, consisting of the mayor and one member of the council, two from the couniy,~cdnFlstThg of The county board chairman and one member of the board, and three members at large. When the commission was created the three members at large were H. G. Carrison, C. P. DuBose, 8r., and L. A. Klrkland. These members were named for four years, and at the expiration of that time their successors were to be suggested by Mr. Woodward and appointment made by the pther members of the commission. In the event Mr. Woodward did not name them, the commission, after a slxtyday period, could select the commissioners at large. The chamber of commerce believes j that the provisions of the law, providing for the seven man commission, l should be carried out and to that end j will request the Incoming mayor to name a member of the council, the chairman of the board to designate a | board member, and Mr. Woodward to suggest three men to act as commissioners at large.
