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.

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.
