Is a superb Job that engineers have ine In creating a truly miracle city what was a foul-smelling marshad in Flushing. just as we expected, the restaurifs and hotels In America's biggest ty went haywire on accommodation es. The eating places on the fair ounds sky-rocketed prices so that i ordinary hamburger sandwich unir a French name and with some ncy sauce on it was listed at $1.50. 10 .smallest steak was two bucks, ad so on. Well slree, the yelp that went up used Boss Whalen to issue a sharp prim&nd to the proprietors of eatg places and hotels and as a result ere was a cut of about 15 per cent. 1 that It Is Just plain highway robiry and burglary tossed together. There Is one nice thing about the ir and that is?you need not be raid to eat food on the fair grounds, reryone employed In any eating or Inking place there is first put rough an Intensive physical examiition. Even cashiers and doormen restaurants are blood-tested, flngerloted and assiduously checked for ty trace of disease. Too bad every ty in the United States does not rce local restaurants to do likewise. Read in the paper the day of horrible insurance rackeT in Philailphia where thirteen women, all blows of poison victims have been urged with homicide. The husbands ere so slowly poisoned that even e doctors were fooled. Which retods us of the old saw?"the female the species is more deadly than le male." K i Lnyhow, we would suggest fo husids that it might be a good idea rerrain from telling your wife just r much insurance you are carryShe may come to the conclusion i are perhaps worth more dead n alive. * i'ord comes from in New York that laid Ross, prominent golf course hltect will come to Camden to cast eyes on the local eighteen hole f layout wit!* a view of effecting iew arrangement of hazards, fair's and ^greens. In other words, mi this eminent golf architect ofi his idea of what Bhould be done, golf course will step into the hall 'ame?provided the Ross plans are ried out. js he money is available for the Job we venture to predict that work be started within a short time, rass greens on a Donald Ross golf rso seems to me to be Just the it tonic to balance the winter pro gram iu Camden. r The rejuvenation of the golf course has been made possible by, the generosity of a group of northern people who hhve winter homes lu Camden. And here Is another bit of Interesting news to be wafted through the window screen this week. Camden may have a tine modern restaurant before the 1989-1940 winter season rolls around. Have you ever wondered how mpny people follow the baseball career of the Syracuse Chiefs? We would venture to say that fully 200 people in our bailiwick turn to the sport page wheu they grab the paper In the morning. And they look for the game results in the International league. The work of organizing a six club /State league Is a tedious affair to say the least. They had another meeting here last Thursday and finally got the rules And regulations lined up. Representatives from Camden, Sumter, Lancaster, Chester and Hartsvllle were on deck. There is hope that Darlington will enter the loop to make It a six club affair. Camden will play on Thursdays and Saturdays, according to the tentative schedule. Now this is a good one. Happened to hear an argument between two men the other evening regarding the origin of the song "Dixie." Seems they differed to the extent that quite a little j bitterness was to the fore, due to the fact that one of them insisted that , "Dixie" was written by a Yankee. I m m m m j As I had chanced to read^ about a ! year ago something to the effect that j Dixie was a Yankee creation I decided to check up on the matter. " j And from , none other than Frank Moore's "Rebellion Record" comes this very Interesting data: ! "So common has become the error j that this is a Southern song and re| lates to Southern institutions that I I must be pardoned If I break the en! chantment and relate the facts. The } real truth Is that Dixie Is an indenei gous Northern negro refrain and was a common tune around New York before the war. It happened when slavj ery existed. One individual named i 'Dixy' owned a large tract of land on Manhattan Island and had quite a | number of slaves. "Because of the Increase of the Abolition sentiment there was an emit i gratlon of slaves to more secure secj tlons. These negroes that were sent j away, many of them having been bo'rn j there, looked back to their old home, j with regret, because they could not j Imagine any place Just like Dixy's. . . "In those days negro singing and . minstrelsy were In their Infancy and j any subject that could be wrought Into a ballard wad eagerly picked up. This was the case with Dixie, It originated in New York and assumed the proportions of a song there. e ? 0 "In its travels it has enlarged; It has picked up a note here and there, a chorus has been added to it and i it has become an elaborate melody, j But the fact that it is not a Southern ; song cannot be rubbed out, the falj lacy Is so popular to the contrary." 8inco Juno, 1925 No baseball fun needs to bo told that (Columbia Ixiu Gehrig, tbo man who for fourteen years dominated tho American league with his big bat. sat in the Yankee dugout tlila woek for the first time since Juno, 1926, breaking a consecutive game string of 2.120 games. There wus every characteristic of a Greek tragedy in the afternoon. YVally l*ii>, whom Gehrig ousted on the June afternoon fourteen years ago, was in the stands to watch Lou lose his battle with time the shadow. The kid who played in lx>u'a place got throe for four, including a double and a homo run. The Yanks won their first game Jn four starts by 22-2. A lot of courage was shown by Gehrig in running up his amazing total, and more was in evidence when he asked Joe McCarthy to bench him 1 uesday. Tho cheers that went up as the big man walked over to hand in the team lineup were not for Gehrig, the first baseman. They were for Gehrig the man.?Greenville Observer. ? ?

To get Sold In Camden by DeKalb Pharmacy Spend The Day With Tuberculosis Nurse C'om?\ let's spend a du> with the tuberculosis nurse during the earl) diagnosis campaign. At G ;tu a. in. Hho has breakfast. At 7 10 she Is! ready to go to 0110 or the rural com ! munltles 10 tneu^aoine children, who are to go to Statu Park for an x-ray examination These children go to u school where half of those given the tuberculin test .were positive reactors. When she arrives at the school, some of the children ure already there waiting?others can be seen in the distance coming to meet the bus that has been provided by the school district to take them for the examination. After waiting tlfteen minutes for any late-comers, the nurse goes over the list of those whose parents 1 had promised to cooperate, to see if' the homes of any absentees are near enough for a quick trip to find out If the children are going with those already present for the x-ray. A telephone call is made to the owner of one plantation, it is learned that no definite information can be obtained, but it is promised that a check up will be mudo during the day und the child be sent to meet the bus on another day, if the parents are interested. Then the nurse drives to a nearby plantation to see about an absent boy, living in a home where there has recently been a death from tuberculosis. His mother is sitting on the porch very unconcerned and pokes out to the car as she sees the nurse Approach. She states that the boy had to do some farm work that day, and any way she did not have quite all the money. If (his mother had let It be known In plenty of time about the shortage of funds, there 1b a possibility that the nurse could have helped raise the shortage. Next, the nurse, knowing there will be two vacancies In the appointments for the day at State Park, phones the principal of a school having some patrons so Interested In the early diagnosis campaign that they had sent to the school money for their children's x-ray examination to be arranged for % at tho earliest possible time. "Yes," comes the answer from the principal, "I have right here in the offico money for several students whose parents want them exnmlned and If you say so, they can meet the bus In Camden at ten minutes past eight." Everything works out nicely and a few minutes past the appointed time, enough children leave on the bus in Cannier to fill all the appointments that wert made for that date at State Park. Then tho nurse returns to the office finish her report for last month because the executive committee ol the tuberculosis association Is to meel In the afternoon. But she finds that in her absence, the mother of a boy who has already been x-rayed and found to need special care has been to the office, requesting a visit by the nurse right away. Off she goes to endeavor to explain the situation to the mother?allay her fears for the prej sent and ask that the other members , of the family come in for a tuberculin I test. After leaving this home, she goes to take the temperature of a school child, whom the doctor says must he excluded from school, If he Is running a temperature. Then she comes back to the office to attend the meeting of the executive committee, where plans are to be made for raising seventy dollars In order to be able to accept the ofTer of a loyal supporter of the tuberculosis program who will match this amount to keep the association from having to do without the service of the nurse for a month in the late summer. ' After the meeting, she goes again to the home of the boy, whose temperature is to be taken, for this service ' is to be rendered twice daily at 4 ' and 7 p. m. for four days. Following 1 all this, she gets supper and attends I a meeting, where she makes a talk 5 to a group of young women on "Widening the Horizon." > It was assured contributors during i the 1938 Christmas Seal sale that evM ery contribution would help to keep :\ shining throughout the year the light : of Bervice to those having tubercu' losis, to those who are contacts of i tuberculosis cases and that protection would be thrown about every II home in the county through a contln nous educational program.
