He has signed and unsigned Larry Staloy so many times of late that our record sheet looks like one of those rIcW-twMee puzzles. But Stan's a swell guy ami we know that the triple entente-consisting of genial Bill Owens. Babbling Beck Russell and DeLuxe Stan are utilizing every strategy and string jerking known | to man, to build up a team that can take the Kendalls in the all-important little World Series. And if you don't believe me, ask Gabby Plyler, the yes-man of the entente. ? Nurse, nurse come quick, the kittens are playing with my beard again. Has thou seen the new school bus? I'll never fc-get last Saturday night when I climbed into the spic and span athletic vehicle in front of the Camden Hotel and saw the smile on the fuce of Coach John Villeplgue as he sat back of the wheel. It was beautiflc And rightly so. For the bus is a beauty and will fill a long-needed want in high school athletic circles. * Jack and Charley brought it down from Indiana without as much as scratching it against the rocks on some of those mountain roads. .. f %'? T- - ? ^ Things I heard on the street. A lot of $25.00 a week punks who look down upon WPA workers and relief clients ought to stop and think about their own lot for a minute. They'd find that the only thing standing between them and a WPA pay check is their job, and instead of looking down upon persons in those unfortunate circumstances they ought to mutter to themselves, "there, but for the grace of God, go I.* Well folks, however, the war turns out you can't call the Chinese "yellow any more. A new patent covers a phone permitting the speaker to see the person to whom he speaks. If Its the wrong face, he must try again. j "Republicans Promise Program of Recovery," says a headline in a newspaper. "Go easy you Republicans. Have you forgotten the chicken In every pot, etc?" Back to Camden. The Kershaw County Fair which will be held October 10 to 16 inclusive, is an enterprise that will receive the support and patronage of every county resident. * * Tough luck the Wolves were crippled for that Friday i^lght game with the Kendalls. Had Clarkson Rhame, ace hurler and George West, who went to the 8partanburg.Birmingham long distance batUe at Sumter, boen In the lineup the battle would hare been a real one. The Wolves fought gamely, but Without a pitcher to use against the slugging hornfets. they were powerless and the Mill hoys won In a walk. The Kendalls Increased their lead by two games over the Wolves. During the week the Kendalls had a Monday assignment with the Merchants and on Wednesday were scheduled to battle the Essos. On the dope sheet the Hornets should take the Merchants but would find themselves hard pressed against the Essos. TJe Wolves have one game during a week, that being this afternoon with the Merchants and here again the dope favors the' Wolves. Let us pass the orchids to that Merchant crew for their . gameneas and sportsmanship in the face of tough breaks and apparently lnsurmountable odds. The boy. , never ? wk and ara on tha t,me* .. i ! And a nice bunch of posies to Beckham Ruasall for some awaat mm plring last Friday night. Not that Beck had any close decisions to pass upon, but he was Johnny- on- the | spot when the Wolves sought to stall in the third inning In the hopes that darkness would end the combat before the regulation four and a half innings had been played. "Play ball or get off the field" yelled Beck and By Gosh, he meant It. There is a wave of complaint over the failure of the umpires In the Legion Junior games to "speed 'em up". In the games between Spartanburg and Sumter the play dragged on leaden wings and in the game Friday between Spartanburg and Birmingham, the crowd sat some three hours under a blistering sun to see dragout exhibition of pastlming. The umpires have the right to speed these games up and the proper officials should see that they do it. If you ask me, there is plenty of room for a heck of a lot of improvement in the handling of these state and district title events. A good friend stopped in to state that he did not think the new softball diamond and park should be placed near the number 1 highway. Later on we bad a friend remark that "someone had remarked to him" that it should not be placed near the railroad tracks where it could be seen from passing trains. Introducing Jake Haynes, who Red Granged to the title of Camden's Galloping Ghost last Tuesday ere. What a picturt, * what w picture. That grand old man of baseball, football and tennis making that spectacular seventy yard dash down the greensward after a- sensational interception. % e e And Elmer Nolan, hero of 1936 Camden football history, now a wee bit corpulent about the middle, but still having the old kip and ginger in soiTiclent volume to race forty yards for a touchdown. These boys love football so darned well that not a single one wanted to be taken out of the game. Well, we set a national record anyhow. No other teams got into action on the gridiron, as early as the Bears ssd Uhlans. ' ; j ? !?"< . Large Fund Ready To Fight Mosquitos One of the most Intensive battles against the Anopheles mosquito, the so-culled malaria pest, ever conducted in the aoutheust will be started soon In Kershaw county on an enormous I scale, as the result of the approval of a 9300,000 project by the federal goveminent. Announcement of the project's approval was made by T. M. Hall, Federal Supervisor of Mosquito Control in Kershaw county. The appropriation approval climaxes months of earnest effort by interested parties. Shortly after F. N. McCorkle took churgo of the city government aH mayor, he requested Mr. Hall to prepare a sketeh showing all the ditches and swampland? within the city limits. It ana Mr. McCorkle'a Idea at the time to get a mosquito control campaign under way. Mr. Hall's efforts went beyond the boundaries of Camden, covering tin- entire county. On April 25th he submitted the sketch and data to Washington. On July 11, the government turned over 9G0.000 for the campaign and on August 16 notice was received that an additional 9300,000 would be available. This means, according to. Mr. Hall, the increasing of the present force of 200 men tn *?fin u-ithln a iimnlr. Of the amount named, the sum of 960,000 will be expended In Camden, which If judiciously and skillfully I used, will give this city a marked relief from the malaria insect. Mr. Hall announces that the work will involve the draining of all swamp land, grading of all ditches to permit proper drainage, filling in all low places, In fact, as nearly a complete eradication of mosquito places as Is possible. In order to make the move a success, Mr. Hall states that public cooperation will bo required. Reports of all places where water accumulates and remains for more than seven days should be reported to him or to Tucker Boykin. At the present time drainage of swampland near Kershaw, is being carried out. Near Bethune there is a ditch four miles long and eight feet I de? p being given attention by the labi overs. Seventy-nine "borrow pits" in | the county will be filled up. The health department, through i the energetic efforts of Donald Mor; rison. newly appointed health ini spector. has made a survey of the fine highways, large areas through which they pass are rendered unfit Battle fronts for the fight against the breeding places in Kershaw county will bo under the supervision of Mr. Hall. In Camden the city board of health, consisting of Harold Fun derburk, Dr. Carl West, Dr. Oeo'go Rhame, L. Jones and Hughey Tlndal. tho city council health committee consisting of Commlsaiomers Clyde Massabeau, Charles Vllllplgue and Jack Nettles, and Health Officer Donald Morrison are all ready for the Intensive campaign. I city and Is calling the attention of citizens to the need of preventing water from stagnating In tin cans, barrels, etc. All these are prolific sources for breeding of mosqultos. State and county highway departments will be forced to either drain^ or fill "borrow pits" along the highways These pits are made by digging out material needed for fills and other construction work With no drainage provided they have become breeding places for malaria mosquitoa. Areas from which soil has been borrowed should either bo drained or graded.
