Why Not More Minor Camps? ( Hy Abo Ken null lit Columbia Btttto) Over In Camden. whore the Syra( use foam of the Intel national league, will train, Frank Heath, chief public* 1st of the winter resort town. Im all )it-t up over the iilea of attracting? more professional baseball teams to South Carolina for training. We think the Idea is a laudable one and that It deserve# much serious t onsnleratlon. Talk about your new industries, there is one wo could not Kiiiv leap benefits from In the way of dollars and cents, but could also have rtS .ill added entertainment feature for the enjoyment of tourists as well as I he home folk In a letter to Heath. Manager Jack Corbett of the Syracuse club league said that South Carolina has a splendid opportunity to secure a number of baseball teams every spring for training purposes. All that is needed to interest these teams Is for communities to provide ball parks with grass infields, level and smooth outHolds. good hotel accommodations and the willingness on the part of the baseball minded people to spend a few dollars In communicating with the clubs. "All of the clubs In the Eastern leagurt and some in the International are constantly changing training locations." says Corbett "It Is a h'tig haul to Florida for a minor leagueclub and none of them draws enough J to pay off the help." They could savefrom $.".oo to $1,000 in railroad farei and probably draw more at the gate, in South Carolina." Heath. following correspondence, =*= with mg r Corbett believes that t h?? solution to the problem Is to make South Carolina communities J baseball conscious through the organl-j zaiion of a semi-pro baseball league that will take in a group of cities that J aie potential locations for baseball; training camps. To that end. letters have been written to Sumter. Harts-j villi-. Hock Hill. Orangeburg. Newberry. Cnloti and Florence in an effort to ascertain if there is any desire on the part of baseball enthusiasts to j get hack of the organization of aneight club league. So far, the response has been splendid, Hock Hill being the only city to show a lack of enthusiasm because of an affiliation with another league. Cheraw fans, however, have expressed an Interest in the project and that city could j form an eighth member iu the sug-r gpc*?'d loop It Is probable that a meeting will) be held in Camden late in March, tor Hi.' purpose of discussing the tnatter and have Manager Corbett talk j to :lii- group and outline a picture of; the results that would come from-such1 a, move i 1: a semi-pro league were started. ; ii might mcau that some ai_.tlie_citi.es_ -tUrf**"-"-do mo. . hrtv^-aa-pAudate parks u u.l.l si-nse the value of having tnin | nor league teams train there and im-; mediately take steps to put their base.

This pass-und qhool duo gave the Hartavllle maidens a sweet lnsspm in ahiftlneaa and marksmanahlp last Friday evening and led (ho Camden lassies to a beautiful 37 to 15 victory over the vlaitora, who a few week'H back, had nosed them out on the Hartsville floor 29 to 28. It was a sweet revenge that Captain Doris and her wrecking crew exorcised, for they really felt grieved over the bold robbery committed at Hartsville. So enthused were the Camden boys over the performance of Doris-Peggy and company, that they wandered out in the nightcap event and larroped a rather cocky and smug gang from up yonder by a 37 to 17 count. All in all, It was a sweetheart of an evening for the lads and lassies of the- I-aurens street arena. In our humble opinion we believe the gals are headed for a state title and we also believe that Camden fans should take greater interest in this indoor pastime. There was a fairly good turnout last Friday but for some reason or other Camden did not offer any well organized rooting. On the other hand a small but peppy band of Invaders In the west balcony had the cheer leaders and they certainly put over some smart stuff. To get hack to that girl's game. Camden lit out In the first quarter like hounds after a fox and when the whistle blew to mark the end of thy period they were to the fore, 15 to 3. mainly due to the sister-act staged by Mcl-cod and McGulrt and some classy guarding by the backfleld duo. In the second quarter Camden coasted but added five more to their tolalj while Hartsville snagged eight counters. Camden led at the half, 20 to 11. In the third quarter close guarding held both teams to four points each, but in the final quarter Camden pulled her wide open again and seven field goals netted fourteen points while Hartsville was held scoreless. Of the thirty-eight points scored by Camden. McOuirt annexed twenty-seven of them and would have had an even higher count but for the fact she had to leave the .game toward the end of the dual quarter when injured. To the credit of Do. Is Mcl^eod let it be said that she is a teal sparkplug for the locals and her feeding to McGuirt is nice to watch. Camden People Like Big Cheese That it pays to advertise was evid?-n< e<) last Saturday when a mammoth 3'>0 pound Wisconsin cheese was placed on sale The advance ballyhoo on the "big cheese," with the usual weight guessing (on'o;. resulted in a record deman 1 for the merchandise. And it w a-> qui'e noticeable that some of the early buyers of the luscious dairy confeet ion t ame back w ith repeat orders. Tie- Skipper acquired a pound of the cheese and declared that as a name of the state from whence the merchandise came, said state being the ranking cheese production commonwealth In the union, he could put an emphatic O. K. on the product as being one of Wisconsin's b.-st Representative Dunn, of Pennsylvania, has asked congress to appropriate $30.0i>0,00o.000 to "furnish employment and to end poverty" in the I'nited States and its possessions for all time Washington, Fob. 10.?Wednesday night President House volt addressed a nation wide audience on the twentyninth anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. This is one of the most wonderful organisations in the world. ! It is of great significance that the Incident that caused Scouting to be organized nationally in the United States wus the active performance of one of the receipts of the movement? i the daily good turn?by a small mi ' known l^ondou boy. i It was in the fall of 1909 when the Chicago publisher. William 1). Hoyce, was seeking a certain location in the i congested part or London, that a lad approached him, saluted and asked if he might bo of aid. Boyce accepted his service and upon reaching his desi tlnation offered the boy a shilling, i The boy courteously refused the money by saluting and saying: "No, thank you. sir! Sorry sir! ] am a Scout. And a Scout never takes anything for being holpful." Boyce Inquired as to what he meant, and the boy, expressing astonishment that everyone did not know of BadenPowell's Boy Scouts, asked permission to take him to the headquarters of the British Boy Scout association. What he learned of Scouting impressed Boyce so much that he secured and brought with him to America all available literature on the subject and proceeded to take steps for the subsequent incorporation of the Boy Scouts of America, which was effected on February 8, 1910. Immediately Scouting caught on like wild fire. Thousands of boys bfecame Scouts and set out on the trail of advancement and of service to others.! Many outstanding Americans gave the new-born movement their enthusiastic support and actlvo interest. President Taft became Its first Honj orary President?a position which has been taken ever since by each incoming President of the United States. The first executive board of the organization was composed of the following men: W. D. Boyce, William I). Murray, Colin H. Livingstone, George I). Pratt, Frank Pres^rey, Mortimer L. SchlfT, Seth S. Terry, Lucien T. Warner, Lee F. Hajtmer, E. M. Robinson, and the following ex-officio members: Daniel Carter Beard, Ernest Thompson Seton, Adjutant-General William Verbeck and Colonel Peter S. Borrus. Under the leadership of such men the movement went forward, on its phenomenal growth. Since the day of the founding of the Doy Scouts of America in 1910, more than seven million boys and men of our country have been Scouts. This is because the founder of the Scout movement had the genius to outline for youth the picture of the Ideal boy, a picture which appealed to the imagination and captured the hearts of boyhood around the world. Walter W. Head, president of the Boy Scouts, reported that on December 31, the total Boy Scout registration was 1.271,900, a 13 per cent increase during 1938 and an all-time high. The President's flag consists of the President's seal in bronze, upon a blue background, with a large white star in each corner. The design of this seal may be seen in the floor of the entrance corridor of the White House. When the President visits a vessel of the United States, the President's flag is broken at the main the moment he reaches the deck and is kept flying as long as he is on board. When the President is embarked on a boat he usually directs that his flag be displayed from the staff in the bow of his barge. When ho passes a boat flying his flag, vessels of the navy parade the full guard, four ruffles are given on the drum, four flourishes are sounded on the bugle, the National Ant Item is played by the band, and officers and men salute. The flag of the Secretary of the Navy, says the National Geographic society, dates from 1S66 It is not known who designed this flag, with its white "fouled" anchor in the center and its white stars in each of the four corners The Secretary of War ., flag wai authorized in 1897 by order of the Adjutant General's office. It is scarlet, with a white star in each corner and the coat of arms of the Up 1 ted 8tates in the centor. A color is a flag carried by unmounted units. A standard is a flag carried by mounted or motorized units. Ap ensign is a flag flown on ships. John J Hubbard, Native of Wadesboro, N.
