_ CAMDEN. SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1938 NUMBER 40
I SANTA CLAUS LANE OPEN INC.
I EVENT OF BEAUTY AND MELODY
[ 0a.nttt Claus came to town Monday
afternoon an<f visit will bo r?"membered
by young and old with tho
pleaHHHto.st of memories.
[ For Jolly Saint Nick came in a
[ ili|gh which had been placed on u
huge truck drawn ' by four white
mUieB. On the??leigh and surrounding
it on all sides were toyB?irom
dolls to bicycles.
As Santa Clans came down Broad
street he was under escort of many |
beautiful little fairies, elves, gnomes
yjd other characters out of a fairy!
tale story book.
The cortege swept down Broad
i street aa far as the office of The
Watereo Messenger, when it swung
back to DeKalb street and thqp right
on peKalb to Hampton Park, where
hundreds of Impatient kiddies andj
imllink parents were in waiting to
give the fairies and Santa Cluus a
noisy and Jubilant reception
Simultaneously with the appear
wee of Santa dans, Santa Claua I
Lane burst into brilliance as a turn!
0f a master switch poured illumination
into thousands of colored light
bulbs. Overhead was a canopy of
[ light while on every pole and post
where Christmas trees were In evidence
were tiny colored globes of fire.
As Santa Claus came on to the platform
another Bwitch turned on hundreds
and hundreds of lights in the
tall commanding community tree
nearby while a flood of sunshine was
let loose from the hlgh-poweron noon
lights that were focused upon the
platform.
There were children from Camden,
Bethune. Blaney. Cassatt, Westville.
They came from Lugoff, Pontiac
Charlotte Thompson?in fact from
every section of tho county. They
came by bus and they came by auto.
It seemed as if every ,child in the
county was on hand to cheer the arrival
of Santa and the opening of
Camden's most beautiful Santa Claus
bane.
It was 5:20 o'clock before Santa
Claus and his escorting elves, fairies,
the three wise men and many other
; characters so characteristic of the
Christmas period, arrived at Hampton
park. During the period of waiting
a public address system provided
a program of Christmas music. The
playing of the carols over the loudspeaker
appealed to the crowd and
all joined in singing the numbers.
The program in the park, an account
of which will be found elsewhere
in this paper was entertaining
and reflected much credit upon Mrs.
Kathleen Wfttts, whq had arranged It.
I West Named On
All-Southern Squad
- (
George West, sensational Camden
Bulldog football ace, drew the nod
for a place on the all-Southern prep
squad selected by John "Red" Davis, .
chairman of the board of all-southern ,
sport writers. '
West was the only Camden player
to receive a first team selection. Two ,
Columbia players, Leltner and Wall- i
ing and one Spartanburg lad, Tinsley,
'were the other South Carolina stellar
lights to be placed on the team.
Camden fans have seen West, Lelt- <
ner and Walling in action and have .
heard of the prowess of Tinsley and '
-nil agree IMt" the" "boys'earned the"]
honor of being named on the allsouthern
squad. It was the twentieth i
annual selection and the talent was i
taken from the ranks of high school i
..teams in twelve southern, states. ? .J
West gained recognition to the hall i
of fame because of his beautiful pass- 1

to the park, where hundreds of
men. women and children from the
city and county were waiting to extent

Dykes.
Ben. Edna and Emily Team, dressed
in the garb of the Wise Men of Old,

hundreds and hundreds of spectators
along the line of the parade. Their
costumes were skillfully adapted and
to add to the picture they had secured
"The Most Imperial," a billy goat,
who had been converted Into a camel
by the addition of a hump on his back,
said hump being made out of straw.
Then pext in line was the Old
Fashioned Girl and the Dutch Girl,

Reports on Seal .
Sales Are Slow
Naeh mull brings additional letters
with money for Christmas Seals to
the office of Miss Charlotte Hoykln,
treasurer. Hut, up to dHto only ubout
four hundred of the fifteen hundred
letters mulled have been returned.
Can It be that so many of thorn have
been laid aside and forgotten, while
the possibility of extending the tuberculosis
program during tho next
twelve months Is hunglng In the balance?
Now th^t there are only ten
days till Christmas and everyone is
beginning to buy gifts there will be a
real need for seals so the association
is hoping that most every one will decide
to use the onus that will mean
so much to those whose welfare
should be considered as time goes on.
No! far from Camden Is a father?
whoso wlfo and three small children
must be X-rayed frequently to Insure
safety because the father has active
tuborculosls. A mother from this
county hus been at State Park for
many months, because of this the
home is at least temporarily broken
up. A young woman and her brother
In anothor part of tho county have
spent almost two years In bed, while
their younger brothers', health must
bo carefully watched, all because of
tuberculosis, which could have been
prevented. "It is in tho Interest of
these and many others too numerous
to mention here, said Harold Funderburk,
president of tho Kershaw county
tuberculosis association, that tho
Kershaw county tuberculosis association
wishes to reach tho goal of two
thousand dollars to carry on tho program
for another twelve months. "A
well-planned program," continued Mr.
Funderburk, "will prevent similar
tragedies, as well as give protection
to each man, woman and child in the
community."
Come, let's get out the Christmas
Seal letter and mall a check today!
New Club Room
To Open Soon
The management of the Court Ino'^
announces the opening of their
unique and entirely new club room,
"The Corral," on Tuesday evening,
December 20.
. The Corral is Just as coxy and informal
as the name implies, from the
spilt rail fence with galloping horse
figures on either side that guide one
to the entrance, to the red checkered
curtains and table covers.?
The horse motif has been well carried
out. On each table Is a miniature
horse supportingc A table lamp
and around the walls, the paper of
which is cream and , brown adorned
with tiny cowboys and bucking "bronchos,"
are plywood figures of gallop- ing
horses. The windows are attractively
curtained with white shades also
bearing the horse design.
Tho modernistic lighting system"!!"
designed to give a soft glow to the
Corral and the large red brick fireplace
lends to the Informality of the
place. The dance floor has been
sanded, and. waxed, to-a smoothness
that will please dancers and renovations
to the bar Include new lighting
and a "brass rail." An orchestra will
play for dancing three times weekly;
Dinners are served nightly until 8:00
o'clock.
Many tea dances and other parties
will be held at the Corral during the
holiday period and the new club Is
bound to become a popular rendezvous.
