Tho New York World's Fair la open.
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

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.

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
