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.

upon the trainees abaility to moot
the entrance requirements. Applications
of all trainoes of the camp will
1 be given careful consideration in maklag
the final selections for the award
of scholarships.
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. Knight, one of.Camden's
ranking sport enthusiasts, whether it I
00 nurse i hCTGC ChCV,'",
baseball or the cinema, is leaving for
Europe. If there isn't any war, Mr.
Knight plans on visiting all of the
dictator nations. What a lot he will
have to tell us when he returns next
fall. Bon voyage.

Next we say adieu to Ernest Walton

I Beer helps oven those who do not drink it! To
the tune of a million dollars a day nation-wide, i
beer tax revenue reaches back into every community,
to help pay for relief, for public works,
for education., .and to lift a burden that would
otherwise rest directly on the taxpayers.
To this, add a million new jobs made by beer.
And a 100 million dollar farm market.
How can we keep these benefits... for you and
for us ? Brewers of America realize this depends
on keeping beer retailing as wholesome as beer
itself. They want to help public officials in every
possible way. They cannot enforce laws. But
