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.

"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.

The Iowa chap who smuggled a saw

' 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.

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.

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.
