Through the courtesy of Mrs Kmily Guy and Miss Margaret Burnet, the play was repeated for the students in the high school. j Another worthwhile contribution of local people to the success of the Christmas Seal Sale is the patch work <juiit made by the young women In the NY A sewing room to decorate one of the windows at the bowling alley. The fjuilt has worked into it In beautiful patchwork style the family group of a nineteen century mother and hei'two small children for whom she is lighting a Christmas candle. The colors and design typify the group in the sketch on the 1938 Christmas Seals The young women who put the thousand of tiny stitches in this piece of needlework became so interested that they voluntarily asked for some Christmas Seals l?e brought to the sewing room for them to buy. If these young girls buy a whole sheet of seals it will mean a five cents per capita purchase Should every one in the county do this well, there would be available for next > ear's program $1,635 Ob Miss Charlotte Boy kin, treasurer. will be glad to receive your contribution toward the fund for $2/>o0 00 the Tuberculosis Association desires to raise between now and December 24 so the light of hope, 1 encouragement, opportunity for gervice and chance for recovery may be )?ii rn I *? i? f/vr t hnou u' b <?<>/! y??

C. ^>0 Between You and Me (By THE SKIPPER) Wonder how many of the football fans ever slopped 16 realize* that In the last thirty four gamea that Cam den Bulldogs have played, they have been defeated hut twice. If that lan t a record l*yi Sea Biscuit. f t f t And we might state further that in the past twelve years the ouly teams that ever defeated the Bulldog* were ultimate state title wiuuera. That amlle that Jack Nettles Is wearing theae days Is duo to the basehall meteor that hit tne town last Thursday. Kroin the minute thoae big shots from Syracuse gate their OK to the local baseball pasture as a trainlug camp. Jack started U? grin and it is now a fixture, *. . And when passing the orchids around on this baseball business, dou'l forget that J. 11. Zemp was the chap who made the first t^mtact with the Syracuse gents. Now all we have to do la build a fence around the park and fix up the playing area. It's going to cost some mazuma to put up the klnij of fence required but take It from me fans, this is an opportunity that knocks but once and I would suggest we open the door and let the visitors in. It IB about thtr biggest thiiJg 1" sports that ever hit this town. Wo pause at this time ladles and gentlemen to make the following announcement. The high school graduating class of 1939 Is going to have a real honest-to-goodness annual, the first 1 am told, in C^indeu High hitory (Correct nie if I am in error). The students are going around now getting advertising to take care of the expense. Personallly I think the idea is line and 1 hope the youngsters put it over one hundred per cent. lk.rk to football again?the Columbia wants a bow! came over in Columbia on January 2. The name Sticc- -' '! :s Sui-'sryam ?- * 1. No* wanting to throw any "water on thu C.luinbia aspiration- tor a bow game, frankly we think the bowl idea has become a genuine joke. For instance take a slant at the "bowl games" already scheduled Hose bowl. Sugar bowl. Cotton bowl, Sun bowl. Prune bowl. Eastern bowl, and in addition the East-West All-Star game in Frisco and North-South game at Birmingham. Of all the above mentioned, the Rose bowl. Sugar bowl and the Cotton bowl are swell programs but the rest?well, there Isn't much left to pick from after you grab off the six teams playing in those three saucer events. t I * All kiddin' aside folks?when the sport scribes all over the nation begin to get the giggles and wax sarcastic over the steady increase of bowl events. I am in favor of laying off and we hope the state will accept the suggestion. The Camden football fans who jaunted to Charlotte Saturday to witness the annual Shrine benefit game between the so-called all star high school teams of North and South Carolina witnessed a farcical contest in which a well-coached North Carolina group scored an eaay victory over a courageous, but poorly-coached Palmetto state squad. The score was 19 to 0. ' V. The more we ponder over these Shrine benefit games, the more we are Impressed with the fact that the setup Is wrong. If they want a natural" charity attraction that will draw a record crowd why not select the state championship high school teams of North and South Carolina. It would be far better than the present arrangement. w m Our thought for today . . . . Why I -todi in Hampton Park0 And with a swimming pool a concrete saucer fof i the little tots to wade in.
