'l ie- m-e ?>f the term "we" Is an ancient institution and dates hack to the early days of newspaper writing. It seems to koj naturally and Inescapably with tho editorial or sport column and expresses the personal views of the writer, no matter what the paper's policy may be We've tried several times calling ourself "I" but the effect, wo thought, was pretty flat. There Is not a satisfactory substitute for "we." Alrcade musings ? Why doesn't Camden have a high school band similar to tno Lancaster organization ihac played at the Florida alrcade welcome last Wednesday? Camden Is one of two cities In tho state that does not have a high school hand. Have you stopped to consider what a line hat kground a peppy bund would bo lor I huso JfulUlog football games. ? * Well you school board chaps, why don't you? Director Procter and his fine Dancaster band certainly contributed a lot Of color to the aircade program. t ? Dexter Martin sports a nice rural straw lid. And Klliott Springs had one or thoBo photographic shirts. Those Junior Welfare maidens cor tainly did a nice Job of feeding the hungry and thirsty. ? Our hat Is off to Jack Nettles for his line cooperation and help in making the alrcade event such a success. Joo McKaln and his wife were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Martin In the state piano on a Jaunt from Camden, to Raleigh. They had a swell ride and why not? They were In a ship piloted by an ace flyer. s Canulen will sure get a lot of fine advertising out of the program given at Woodward field. Ninety per cent' of those Florida flyers had never' heard of the Camden airport. ? "Wo thot It was Just one of those: so-and-so affairs when wo were told to make a stop there" said one of the. boys from Orlando. "And were we: surprised to find a wonderfully large and even field, a fine hangar and such ' a delightful reception trotn the peo-i pie." And thus, the real objective aimed j at by the chamber of commerce and she city of Camden, to let this army of flyers know of Camden's tine field and thus build up the field for tint future lias been attained We talked i to a score or more of the 1' lorlda chip- some of whom we knew from a - \ >ear residence in the Sunshine H'ate and we asked them point blank . r tiimend ('atnden as a stopover . r- going l>et w?-?-n' Florida an I h And eai h an 1 v. r> oil" ] us tie y would be glad to d And ao on this day after the hi.: tit. \x o feel just a> happy as Lulu.

I think the defeat of Great Falls tan, be traced directly to what 1 would call "poor sportsmanship" on the part of the Great Falls coach, when he rev fused to let some one run for Moore In the eighth. Moore bus a bad ankle and U would have been Just ordinary every day common courtesy on the part of the visiting coach to permit some one to run for him after he had reached Hist on an error.

If vou study the scores of those nolo 'events In that international series vou will be amazed at the fouls ( committed and the very p? irentage of scores realized on ihe giU shots. If you want my opinion I think the big-wig team was more or old man's party. What the ^ want is some new and younger blood in those matches. * Pet-sonally I prefer the slam-bang, rlp-and-tear. rlde-like-'eli type of game ' offered In Camden than the you-alapme and I'U-slap-you brand, dlslud up bv the big wigs.

F Adams, ttie new manager of the) Kebeis, announced after the game that) a \ )ic of tin- players was in favor of continuing affiliation with the Palmetto league. In today's game Camden took advantage of a first Inning attack of J11-( ters on the pari of tho Rebels and through the medium of a walk, hit and four errors scored three runs. Kershaw caught the Chiefs off .guard In the sixth and combining four lilts with two errors tied up the score with three counters. Blither Taylor, who had occupied the mounds for the Chiefs and had given but one lilt in five innings lost ills cunning and after two runs came in, Seegars was sentin to pitch. J Kershaw greeted him with a single! which added the score that tied the i game. The southpaw staggered 1 through the seventh and eighth frames I with the Rebels making life miserable with their threats. With one down in the ninth W. Parker singled and Truesdale followed with a double. That was the end of Seegars and Moore came in. He fanned J. Parker and caused Hatfield to roll to the pitcher and was out at first to end the game. Camden's win margin of one run came In the seventh when Robinson singled, went to second on Herron's neat sacrifice. Moore was hit by a pitched ball. Cox singled to right field, scoring Robinson and Moore who had tried to come home was retired at the plate. Batting honors went to Hatfield, of Kershaw who hit three for five.

When He j Grows up SOME day thia little fellow and 1 others like him will com* pose the fourth generation to depend on the telephone in their j daily activities. How much they J will use the telephone is unpro* | dictahle, except that their do* , manda will likely exceed today's* I And today's demands on the telephone system are large. The Southern Bell Company served 1,140,000 telephones in 1938, with 18,800 workers who received $26,600,000 in wages. It paid almost nine million dollars in taxes. Each day, an average of 9,582,798 local calls and 130,613 long distance calls were handled. Telephone employes strive to give tho kind of service their customers want. With this traditional spirit of service, backed by continuous scientific research, it is reasonable to expect that the Bell System will still provide the kind of telephone service this little fellow will want when he grows up.
