Wisconsin City Aided In Night Football j The tmcceSH that haH been attendant upon night football In Camden for the paHt two years bus been pass-1, ed on to Fond du Lao, Wisconsin, af city of some iiO.OoO population, mainly through the efforts of tiie Camden' News Service and Superintendent J.| V t?. Klehards. Jr., of the city schools. I For years. Fond du !>ne lias occupied a hiKh ranking in the midwest j for athletic prowess. It boasted oT | powerful football, basketball and1 track squads. It excelled In tennis. | golf and other minor sports Hut foot1 ball did not pay in Fond du Lac because names were played on Saturday afternoon, permitting only of stu-| dent attendance, as Saturdays in a' large Industrial center is the busiest of the week. Fond du Lao boasts of a fine stadium but there were no lights to enable football games'to be played at' night, Some members of the board i of education decided the field should be lighted and games played Friday nights. Hut there were some members on tiie board who put up vigorous ob-j jeetion. claiming that night games, would lower the morale of the-student body. On the board of education was aj newspaper writer, one Carl H Key-| ser Hack a few years Keyset- worked on a desk next to that of the present Camden publicity director. Keyset wanted night games and he started a campaign to put football on a paying basis through grid battles un-1 tier lights ! I town here In Camden came word of the fight Keyser was making. Frank II Heath. Camden publicist, I who had it speaking acquaintance wiiii ihe success ui mgiit lUuibais lu?re. wrote to Superintendent Richirds and requested a letter expressing his views on the night game. Mr. Richards made Immediate reply, the latter was sent to Keyser who submitted it at a board of education meeting unci enough votes secured to provide for night football. Some of the points emphasized by Mr. Richards In his letter were as follows: "The results of night football have been highly satisfactory from every standpoint. The Interest and enthusiasm of the football fans has been greatly increased as shown by the very great Improvement In attendance. \V<? feel that the Institution of night games under the lights has had (he effect of increasing the spirit and loyalty of the students of the high school This is reflected in the increased Interest in the school activities. both regular and extra curricula Contrary to the opinion of many people. Instead of lowering the morale or the young people the opposite effect lias been distinctly noticeable. "All circumstances surrounding .and connected with night football games in Camden have been highly pleasing to the school authorities At no tune have there risen any difficulties of a disciplinary nature and certainly there has been no reason to believe any mistake has been made. "Another very Important matter, which should receive consideration by any one considering the installation of lights for football games is the evident decrease in the number of Injuries in night games We have watched very carefully from this angle and are convinced that Injuries are less frequent In night games than in af-j ternoon games. .1 1 WANT8 E88AY8 ON "PROUDE8T | SMALL TOWN IN AM ERICA" ( It* Camden " Tbo Proudest Small Town In America," aud If so, Why! i The Chamber of Commerce, upon request of Bob Hume of Bazooka fame, wants to know If Camden Is eligible for a high honor of being the j r r rouuosi small i own in America."!

TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF KERSHAW COUNTY: In my announcement as candidate for re-election to the office of Sheriff of Kershaw County, I have based my appeal for your vote upon the record I have made as your Sheriff. What I have said with respect to my record is fully substantiated by the reports of the Grand Juries every year since I have been in office. I quote from four of these reports, including report of the Grand Jury at the 1938 Summer Term, as follows: "FALL TERM 1935 We wish to commend Sheriff McLeod and his Assistants for the splendid work they are doing in enforcing the law.?S. L. Crolley, Foreman. SUMMER TERM 1936 We commend the Sheriff and his forces for their work in the enforcement of the laws of this County.? N. P. Gettys, Foreman SUMMER TERM 1937 We wish to express our deep appreciation for the spledid work of the Sheriff, his Deputy, and his force of Rural Policemen done throughout the County and particularly for the amount of delinquent taxes that has been collected.?N. P. Gettys, Foreman. SUMMER TERM 1938 We note with much satisfaction the great reduction of crime in this County. We feel that in a large measure the credit for this improvement should go to Sheriff McLeod and his Rural Police force. For instance. there has been no intentional homicide in Ker shaw County since October, 1936, and other crimes all down the line have been correspondingly reduced. We feel that Sheriff McLeod should also be commended for his zeal in behalf of the County in persuading gnrlty persons in offering pleas instead of putting the county to the expense of trial. The Sheriff has been able to save the taxpayers of the County a great deal of money in this way.?A. C. Drawdy, Foreman." All auditors' reports have commended me for the manner in which 1 have handled and turned over funds belonging to the County. I have conducted the office of Sheriff in such manner as to reduce the expense of Court procedure to a minimum. I have handled the tax executions placed in my hands, ~ I believe, efficiently, and at the same time in such way as not to work a hardship upon those unable to pay* At all times I have done my best to conduct the office of Sheriff oi Kershaw County for the benefttJ>f? and in the interest of, all of the law-abiding citizens of the County. To a continuance of these methods, I pledge myself for the next lour years if 1 am re-elected.-. I have tried to be the sort of Sheriff the good people of Kershaw County want. If you sure satisfied with' my record, VOTE FOR J. H. McLEOD FOR RE-ELEJCTION FOR SHERIFF OF KERSHAW COUNTY. . Political Advertisement 6
