I Drakeford's | Camden, S. C. I PARENT8 COOPERATING IN TUBERCULO8I8 CAMPAIGN Parent* of tho students attending t ho Camdeu high school and the Cam* don grammar schools are cooperating in the early diagnosis campaign being conducted by the Kershaw county tuberculosis association with Mrs. Wiley iaheorn as chairman. About two hundred and fifty students of teen age have received tuberculin tests and there have been many requests from parents of children under thirteen for their children to have the test. If the number is sufficiently large, another clinic will be held to accommodate them. In the group aready tested. there were twenty-six positive reactors?twenty in the high school and six In the grammar school. The students with tho positive test have been exposed to a case of tuberculosis somewhere. at sometime, sufficiently long to receive into their bodies some tuberculosis germs. Best authorities on tuberculosis think all positive reactors to the tuberculin test should have an X-ray examination of the chest. Such an examination will show whether or not the tuberculosis germs have caused any disease in the lungs. Those who wish their children to be inculded in the X-ray clinics that are to be arranged for at State Park in the near future should get in touch with the tuberculosis nurse or with the county health department promptly. Dr. Charles P. Osteen, oldest practicing physician Ixi Sumter county, died suddenly of a heart attack Friday at Tampa, Florida, where he was visiting his son-in-law and daughter, Rev. and Mrs. Marshall Woodson. 8CHOI.AR8HIP8 TO BE AWARDED FOR fllUTARY TRAINING John K. deLoach, of Camden, chairman of the MlHtury Training Camp* association for Kershaw county, announced yuaterday that the Command Ing General, Fourth Corps Area, haa allotted four scholarship* to the Citizens Military Training Camp to be held at Fort Bragg, N, C., Juue 15July 14.

In previous years, competition for the scholarships awarded has been keen and trainees selected have made [creditable records in the institutions in which they have matriculated. The C, M. T. camps are direct descendants of the pre-war Plattsburg camp originated by the late General Leonard' Wood. Physical examination during the war indicated that nearly half the young men of the country were physically unfit for active military service. This alarming situation was met by Congress in 1920 by creating the Citizens Military Training camps, which normally provide approximately forty thousand young men annually with proper diet, and exercise amidst healthful outdoor surroundings. These young men return to their homes ardent exponents of the American principles of physical health and fitness. The mission of these training camps is to bring together under healthful surroundings on a common basis of equality, young men from all walks of life, and by supervised athletics, military drill and instruction citizenship to develop them mentally, vranrall v and nhvsicallv. Droinote whole-1 some respect for American ideals, teach the value of teamwork, fit thdm for leadership, and impress upon them the obligations and responsibilities of true American citizenship. Young men attending these camps are no more likely to be called to colors in time of war than other men. However, in a national emergency if they volunteer or are selected for service they are likely to secure more rapid advancement and to be able to defend their country effectively. A candidate must . be ai^ American citizen or one who has taken out first papers for naturalization, physically qualified, and of good character. He must have reached his seventeenth birthday by the day camp opens and not have passed his twentyninth birthday. A physical examination, innoculation against typhoid, vaccination against snfallpox, and a certificate or good moral character are required. Prospective applicants may write "direcT'To "the " C. M." T. TT"officer al Fort Bragg, N. C.. for any information they desire or apply to the county chairman of the Military Camps Association. The county chairman will furnish application blanks and the names of doctors who will give the medical examination without charge. There are five vacancies for enrollment in ithe Citizens Military Training Camp for Kershaw county.

Between You and Me (By THE SKIPPER) A prominent gentleman from I-aiicastor who came to the Camden airport last week to greet Miss Hilda Yen, the Chineae flyers, was untaxed at the lack of telephone facilities between the airport and the city. * The Incongruity of a flOO.OOO airport and hangar and the several dollars a month necessary for a telephone has occasioned many others to comment. Saw the 1939 edition of the Camden high baseball team In action last week against Darlington and was quite impressed with the wt\ys the lads talk it up. The team may not win In all games this season but If the boys show the same pop in all gumes they exhibited in the Darlington fracas, we're foi* them?win or lose. * ? And speaking of that Darlington game, it's u good thing some of the oldster fans turned out else the stands would have been practically empty. Where, oh where, were the cheer leaders and the student fans. 4 / Given as new a baseball park, as there is In the state, an alert team, what more can fans desire. If the fans, especially the student group continue to be conspicuous by their absence no one will blame the ball players If they get discouraged and bog down. There Isn't much Inspiration in playing to empty seats. The way the Syracuse Chiefs opened up their international league pennant chase was gratifying to the Camden fans. It was quite evident thit the Chiefs wero In prime condition when they faced Toronto In the opening series, for they took the first two games from Toronto and probably would have made it three but for old man Jup Pluv turning on the sprinkling can. Speaking of baseball, they had a, meeting here last night for the purpose of organizing a state semi-pro league of six clubs. Full details of this meeting will be chronicled In full' in next week's issue of this paper. Pre-meeting dope Indicated that Che-, raw, Sumter, Lancaster, and Chester were certain to be on hand as replies had been received from those cities. Begins to look as if the Thursday afternoon half holiday program would start on May 4. The grocers, furniture stores, jewelry stores, barber shops and professional offices all J wanted the midweek holidays to start in May. Whether the dry goods and department stores would follow this program la a question. Residents of Hampton street are raising their voices in glad acclaim since the arrival of wagons loaded with screenings with which the street is to be paved. It won't be long now beforp the days of dust storms will bo history. Tsk! Tsk! A lot of speed demons are beginning to push on the accelerator a wee bit too heavy on Broad street and the boulevard is becoming a speedway again. Would suggest to Chief Rush a few arrests might have a salutary effect. ? i Just as we predicted last fall. The | actions or a gang 01 uoys who uiiiiaeu the cement tennis court on Laurons and Broad street for a hockey rink and battered down all -of the wire netting. has put that particular tennis court out of the picture. Our humble suggestion is to have the remnants of netting and the poles removed and let the area be used for skating and hockey exclusively. o Advices from the west coast of Florida indicate Camden's mayor, F. N. McCorkle and his wife, are being given the time of thoir lives by the greeting gang. The Chamber of Commerce notified the mayor and Chamber of Commerce at Sarasota of the departure of the mayor and his wife from these shores and latest reports indicate they are showing the Camdenltes the town right* * Charles G.
