J Cruising 'i Around 1 ! : ' | 'I with "Skipper" f* I ) h.v i'?? way, it's a far cry from the City" of Flint to doughnuts, or us wo called them' back in 1917. "sinkers," bul just because I like my doughnuts an,l coffee I want to pass the floral donation thlB week to A. C. Drawdy, Camden's well known and expert baThose Drawdy doughnuts have a real charm and we recommend them t0 the most fastidious of doughnut coimisseura; In the first place, the hole is sjptyij^r than the average, and secondly, they taste swell. * ? Some of our motoring friends who do not stop and look have been forced to "listen" at least. The police have been bufy affixing little blue parking infraction tags on private liti3 that are left parked in the "taxi only" areas on Broad street near the postoffice. It will cost you a trip to recorder's court Just as quickly if you park in that zone as tf you left your motor steed in a fire hydrant or street corner zoiio. 9999 Joe Outlaw, the genial and well-liked county treasurer has concluded that the fenders on his auto are jlnxed. At the county fair some individual who did not remain to explain the why and the wherefore of matters made a mess of both rear fenders, and it cost the county official some $11 to have them Ironed out and painted. A few days later when passing the post office a motorist whoso \ iew was blocked, backed out just as joe was passing and blooey!? two more fenders messed up. This time the offending motorist proved to be a real gentleman and directed the w car be taken to a garage and the fenders repaired at his expense. j * The members of the Soutli Carolina Fox Hunters association enjoyed their stay in Camden and had a lot to say regarding the very fine cooperation received from the city, the farmers over whose land they hunted, the donors of cups and others. They declared they would like to return to Camden in the fall of 1940 for another three days of fun and sport. A Camden lady, ofte whose cooperation and friendship has been of valuable import to this writer in the carrying out of a number of outstanding projects, has turned to writing poetry Of course with some folks, poetry writing is akin to yellow fever or jaundice, but this lady, bless her heart, has real talent. Through her usual cooperation and courtesy we are able to present her poem, which site has cleverly titled,- "Topsy Turvy." Here it is? The sun is shining, It's raining leaves, They clog the gutter. Spill over the eaves. They dash across My thirsty lawn With agile ieaps Of a lithe brown fawn. do hide your face You shining sun, And let the needed.. ("col rain come. The world's all wrong. What with greed and sin. The devil's wife Must be beating him. Well, those fighting Bulldogs did it .-.gain, this time at the expense of a tnl-scrapping Chester Red Cyclone atiit?the score being'19 to Q. Ches r made it interesting for the Camlads every second of the game 11h1 if "there was any fancy razzledazzle stufT offered it came from the fl'-et footed Reds. Camden played a strong. heady - a:ne and would have smeared the whitewash brush but for a lucky pass Smith to Cavin that gave the visitors heir lone touchdown in the third quarter. , The work of Bundrick, Cox and Bell stood out in the Camden offensive but there was also some nice work by this lad Sheorn. Camden's defense was something to talk about. * Weil, fellow countrymen, tonight Is 'he night when a cocky Orangeburg outfit invades our shores and we hope there will be lh6.usual turnout for he season. The crowd at the Chester game, while good, did not come up to our expectations. r* It was the first time in our long and varied experience as a sportA.^Tfl* ter that we saw a football game played in a summer-like temperature the latter part of October. It was a veritable shirt sleeve affair with grandstand and bleachers showing big batches of white where spectators sat ? j with coats off. Speaking of football enthusiasm? if you think we have It In Camden, i let me point out the extent of the fever up in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Green Bay is a city of about 40,000 population and the home of the famous Packer grid machine, winners of the world championship in pro football exactly five times. I^st Sunday the Washington Redskins, with Sammy Baugh doing the pass pitching played Green Bay and there were 25,000 people in the bleachers. And by the way, Sammy pitched] six nice passes into the hands of alert ] Green Bay layers, which is some in-) terception record even in the pro league. Green Bay won 24 to 14. t Listen you football fans, let us again remind you that tonight Camden plays Orangeburg and believe you me, it is going to be a nip and tuck battle. tit Speaking of baseball, it sure looks bad for the return of the Syracuse Chiefs to Camden next March. It all depends on Sumter getting Toledo of the American association, Orangeburg getting some other AA class team, Newberry getting one and et cetera. t If Syracuse passes Camden up to go to Fort Lauderdale, Camden still has a chance to get a pro league team, but in a B rated circuit. a The boys who have charge of the interstate game between teams selected from the high schools of North and South Carolina have selected Leo Rhame, coach of the Florence high school to head the South Carolina coaching staff. Wonder why? A wee birdie sort of hinted that the Camden football coach was in big demand by the committee up at Charlotte and when it was found he was not interested that an effort was made to secure Bee Rhame, the coach of the 1938 champion high school team at Columbia. ? The Interstate game, while for a splendid cause, was so hopelessly mismanaged tiie first year and the second year found it more or less of a mess that public Interest seems to have sort of evaporated. The secretary of the Charleston chamber of commerce has asked the president of the state association oi chamber of commerce secretaries to call a meeting in order that the various secretaries may discuss the bringing of class AA ball clubs into the state for spring training. Great snakes, where bis the Charleston chap been the past two years? S .Camden started work on tbls program two years ago and for a yea,r now Sumter ha^| been working on it . has Newberry and other points. Looks as If the pardon came too late : ?if you finow what I mean George West Proves A Frosh Sensation Through the courtesy of our good friend, Dr. John H, Settlor, wo are a hie to report on the doing of George West, one of the outstanding high school bucks of the state last year at Camden high, who is now at the University of Virginia where ito is starring on the freshman team. Although the Virginia freshmen lost to the Virginia Tech freshmen in a hard fought scrap, 13 to 13, the booting of Wost came in for some highly favorable comment. Says "College Topics" of West's play: "The punting of George West was again a wonder to behold. George consistently booted the pigskin forty yards from scrimmage. Two of his punts were downed on the Tech two and six jfyard markers, respectively. '"l^lie Canidfcu (S. C.) ace also demonstrated ills ability to kick under pressure. In the socoiul half he cooly stood in ills own end zone and kicked over the Gobbler safety man's head to the V. 1*. 1. 44-yard marker? a 56-yard boot from the line of scrimmage. -That's kicking!" The only thing about it we regret is that George didn't select a South Carolina school but in as much us lie did go to Virginia, we Join with his many friends in wishing him continued success.?Abe Fennel 1 in Columbia State. SHE HAS $150,0000 AT 84; DOE8N'T KNOW WHAT TO DO Mrs. Mary Smith, 84, of Clogher, Ireland, wonders what to do with the $150,000 inheritance which has come to her through the will of her Halfbrother.
