KORNEGAY FUNERAL HOME M A COMMUNITY SERVICE SINCE 1SST* Phone 103 Camden, 5. C. - THE TOWN CRIER ! (BY FRANK H. HEATH) Step right up folks. Who has the nufve to tell Franklyn Uooaevelt what Disraeli told William Ewart Gladstone sixty-live yeara ago. Remember your Kuglish {Hstory. No? Well these are the words. ? * ? ' r "You have now had four yeara of it. You have threatened every corporation and every endowment In the country. You have examined into everybody's affairs. You have criticized every profession and vexed every trade. No one is certain of his property and no one knows what duties he may have to perform tomorrow. I helieve the people of this country have had enough o^ this policy." * * * Many years of newspaper experience makes one immune to a lot of tilings that usually provokes individuals to an outbreak ?kof temper. 1 frankly admit that if there is one thing that gotB my nanny is to have some bird who profits by a program that the chamber of commerce is putting over and declines to give his little contribution to thd cause. Took the lad over t(^ Columbia Friday and started him north via the Carolina Special of the Southern railway. Bless my soul, was I surprised when we boarded the train to find that the chair car was the same that I rode in from Columbia to Asheville when I went north on December 5, 1^36. * ? * A little bird whispered in my ear that the color part of the Carolina Cup broadcast over WIS on April 2 would be offered by none other than Miss Frances Mason. Well, if Miss Mason is as good in broadcasting as her mother, that part of the program will be well taken care of. * * This chap, Vic Lund, who does all of the sportcaBting for WIS is well worth knowing. He's a swell person-1 allty and he knows his sports. j ? While the typewriter keys are locked so far as official new casting of the new filling station and service layout that is to be built at the corner of DeKalb and Market streets, we can say that the completed plant will be one of the finest in Camden. ; ?> V * ? The big dwelling that had previously graced this corner has been moved back in the lot and will be remodeled into apartments. The f-Mt ctand on DeKalb and Market stre-.s will be moved back on Market. A new fruit stand, Just erected on DeKalb near the Wizard filling station, will be opened boou. I The Iowa chap who smuggled a saw lnsldo of a banana Into a cell was evidently trying to help some one give the jailer tho slip. * ' Nowadays nearly everyone is liar-' pooning those who are called the "vulgar rich," but we guess most everyone would love to be one of them, j Ixindon has been plagued with the worst fog in years. Where it came from is not certain, but many people suspect it spread from the foreign I office. * ' Well, 1 see that over in Columbia the House hus passed a second reading of u bill which carries provisions for deleting drinking, murder and dli vorce scenes from movies shown in J South Carolina. I The bill was introduced by E. M. ! McKay, a barber and farmer of Florj ence county, who says "a lot of our I crime in South Carolina starts in our J moving picture shows." * * This same bill carries a limit of one gallon of liquor that an unlicensed ! individual may have in his possesI sion, a prohibition against liquor advertising in periodicals published in i the state and provisions for a referiendurn in the summer primary on the .question of returning the state to the idfy ranks. #_?_r_# They do have funny ideas in some parts of the little old U. S A. Take for instance?if a concern outside of the state comes into Camden to deliver merchandise, there Is no charge, but if some South Carolina outfit seeks to peddle its wares here, the city charges a $50 license fee. Darned if I can see any Justice in that. The same would be true of magazines published in the state being pro? hlblted from printing liquor advertise| ments. What about the magazines (printed outside the state? Blamed If j I ain't dizzy. i You can't win when the breaks are against you. That fact was demonstrated in the final polo game of the j Creed series Sunday. The New York^ ers were virtually handed a goal }n j the fifth ehukker. The decision of i the officials was perfectly legal but , It was a bad break for the Camdenltes. We are compelled to chide the I Camden polo club for uncalled for carelessness In not repairing the rails and steps of the grandstand. The week preceding a visitor took a bad fall. Had he been injured to the extent of a broken bone or strained ligament, the polo club would have had a nice damage action to worry about. In the interval the step that turned over with the visitor had been replaced and nailed down but the lower step with a board missing was still in evidence. Well, we've warned you gang, so if someone gets hurt, don't squawk. * The program of the baBeball group of the American Legion regarding a j rule placing the control of the Legion team in the hands of one man is commendable. Last year there were too j tn&ny cooks messing around the home j dugout to insure good baseball. As a result the season was a bust. * Huan Small will be the coach this year and when we say coach?we mean all that the word implies. He will direct the training of the team and have command on the field. Better still, he, with the official scorer, Will be the only occupants of the dugout outside of the team members. Last year the dugout was the roosting place of at least a dozen "advisors." t ? The Softball season will be getting under way about April 15, and it looks like six or eight teams will be in the league roster' this year. The .girls league will have at least four and possibly fire or six. a Do not foget the big baseball meeting u/iughi. lis for the purpose o f discussing what can be done toward getting a real bonest-to-goodhess baseball park for Camden. All persons Interested are inrlted to attend. a Lancaster to Build a Modern Hospital (From The l.um aster News) A largo and representative crowd of citizens gathered at the Lancaster 'court house Monday morning of this week and listened with close attention to Captain Elliott Springs in detail the completed plans for the new hospital. The project has grown from u comI parutlvely small undertaking until it now calls for a plant estimated to cost $300,000 the speaker pointed out, and will give this section one of the most completely equipped and modern institutions to be found anywhere In the country. More than twentyAve hundred people have made subscriptions to the required fuud and the new institution will be a community proposition open to all persons of this section. Captain Springs speech follows: ladles and Uentlemen: It Is a great pleasure and a great privilege to be able to announce to you today that a hospital is assured for title community, adequate in every respect for our needs and within eusy reach of our pocketbooks. For many years the need of a hospital In this community has neon evident to all. and for the past year this board of trustees has been engaged in collecting funds from various sources to build it. Wo secured a site through the gen-, eroslty of the family of the late Col. R. E. Wylie. We obtained the initial impetus by u promise of help from the Duke Endowment, and now as a most fortuitious climax of our efforts we have been formally notified of tho participation of The Commonwealth j Fund of New York In the erection and operation of the hospital. To obtain this participation It was necessary that the board of trustees obtain $70,000 for the building fund, j and a site. The fund specified that j at least $20,000 must be raised by general popular subscription and not donated by an individual or small group of individuals. In three weeks time $17,000 was forthcoming from this community and we have not the slightest doubt that tho other $3,000 will be obtained before the cornerstone is laid. Also your board of trustees was required to raise a fund to take care of an operating deficit not to exceed $15,000. per year for five years. We have made splendid progress towards raising tlilh fund and lutvc more than $26,000 already promt tied Many of the customers of (ho milt huve madu handsome contributions and more aro coming In dully Wo wilt ulao have the assistance of the l>uke Foumlujtton in carlug for charily cases Tlilh hospital when completed will an area w .^ln a radius of twen dy-five intloh from Lancaster. and wilt bo prepared to accept at least 25 per cout of Its patients free, if necessary The charges for those able to pay will be adjusted In accordance with what other hospitals In this community charge, and what is required to operate within our budget. All the licensed physicians within this area will be eligible to treat their I patients in this hospital and serve on | Its medical staff. The hospital will ; liot employ any doctor or surgeon, I but will provide a full staff of nurses,1 technicians, and a resident interne, i who wilt assist all the doctors prac-1 ' tlclng In It. The hospital will begin operation with fifty beds and twelve bassinets in the maternity ward. There will he a ward for colored patients. There will bo a separate building for a nurses homo The equipment will Include the best laboratory and x-ray equipment with the best facilities for both emergency and general operating rooms. It will be governed by a board of directors or trustees elected by those who contributed to the building or Its' support. Kach contribution of $1" or more makes a life member of the con-! trlbutor and all members will hovo an equal vote at the annual election. One-third of the board will be voted upon each year. This board will In turn elect an executive committee, which will choose the staff and supervise the- financial affairs of the Institution. They will let the contract for the building, In cooperation with The j Commonwealth Fund. The Commonwealth Fund will supply the designing architect and plans, and also will I pay the salary of the Interne for three years. Now as to the amount that The Commonwealth Fund will contribute towards the Building Fund; this amount Is not fixed or limited. The Commonwealth Fund contributes towards the* building of only one hospital a year and It is only Interested in a good hospital adequate to the needs of the community that it serves It will contribute towards thiH project whatever Is necessary to complete a modern hospital with full equipment and it stipulates that this J225.000.00. To obtain this participation and cooperation, the directors must agree that the hospital will be operated so as to secure the approval of the American College of Surgeons. While the area which the hospital will serve is tentatively fixed at a radius of twenty-five miles, It Is within the province of the board to extend his radius at any time and after three years of operation, the board may limit this area to the communities which participate In liquidating the deficit. In consideration of special contributions, the board has already agreed to extend the Bcope to include all of Fort Mill township in York county. I will be glad to answer any questions but, before closing, I want all of you here present to join with roe In giving thanks for that divine spirit which has moved strangers in a far land to offer this great boon for our halt and our latne. In a world now shivering with fear, we of Lancaster are warmed by the love of^our fel-*" lowman, and because of it, we can " look forward confidently to a better life. I ? ?
