Quito a nupiber of renders of this
column have frequently Inquired us to
why wo uso the term "wo" and why,
If one man writes the stuff, doesn't
lie call himself "I?" '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

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. Hu}
not that Great Falls pilot. All of
which was a reason for the Camden
players to gel wrathy and tear Into
the slants of all the available heaver"
Great Falls could summon. Aad 11

Well folks, that widely advertised
perfect polo series for the Weetches?;r
was more or less of a Hop am
much touted perfect team .hat
represented the I . *? A. fell a I.out,
wav shun of being perfection. Back
I,IK an experienced defensive back the
40-goal team that wo have bet u "
i?g about for several months tinned

(>rs when it suffered a lt> to 14 set
hack at the hands of Great Britain s
lMl(..nationalists last buntlay. Or
(U?rse. vou may *ay. the Americans
(iui give away a B'-goal handicap, but
let me say that Is just what the>
should have been able to do. seeing
,he ratings gave each number of tinteam
a lo-gottl ratinK.
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.

Business was never better than it is

to the dopster who slays the bull in

Ij. 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. Allen
Caulder, of Camden, and Truesdale,
of Kershaw secured doubles.

SEABOARD TO OPERATE
EXCURSION OVER WEEKEND
Norfolk, Va., June 26.?The first of
the popular, low-priced Seaboard Railway
excursions to Norfolk, Portsmouth
and Virginia Beach has been
announced for the Saturday-Monday
week end of July 1%1\. Th*r ruana- "
trip fare to Portsmouth from Camden
Is only $J.OO. To Virginia Beach the
round-trip fare is 75 cents higher.
Tickets are sold for specified trains
leaving here on Friday night, and returning
from Portsmouth as late as
Monday night, thus giving the excursionist
as much as three full days for 5
care free rest and fascinating recreation
at the Virginia seashore.
Recreation at the Virginia seashore,
as a whole, serves the most versatile of
moods and gives ono a choice of
many sports?surf bathing and swimming
in the Atlantic ocean or Chesapeake
Bay, golf on flawless fairways;
deep sea, surf casting and fresh water
fishing unsurpassed; boating on skyblue
waters; riding or hiking through
Virginia Seashore park at Cape Hen- ry;
other sports , and sightseeing i
trips to many historic points.
Although each Indian tribe had i
separate dialect, most tribes could
communicate by means df a common
sign language.
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.
