The Kirkwood announces the installation
of a new Hammond electric
organ of the Very latest typo and of
the same design and size as those
used in some of the large churches
and auditoriums of the country.
Buddy Bonds, organist, although
but 25 years of age, has been a Btudent
of music since the age of five
years. His father, a Philadelphia
composer, taught him the fundamentals
of music for .the sole purpose of
understanding and education. Buddy,
at the ago of 11 years, was a sensation
as an organist and It was at that
youthful age that he became organist
and choir master at St. Aloysius
church in the Quaker City.
During his sophomore year In high
school, Buddy established the first
Bymphony orchestra ever to take foothold
in one of *the oldest institutions
of its kind in America. It was at this
Lime that the youthful musician at*
tracted tho attention of Dr. R. Combs,
dean of Combs conservatory of music,
who was responsible for securing the
services of Dr. William Geiger as a
guiding factor for a successful future
for Buddy.
'* After finishing high school Bonds
cpntinued his studies at the Unlvsr*
slyt of Pennsylvania and later at Vlllanova
college. Later he gave up all
other college subjects to enter t&?
musical field. He became affiliated
with the Meyer-Davis orchestra and,
later went under the exclusive man-,
agement of Bob Bennett, well known
musical impresaHo.

Miss Anne Whitaker
Wins Riding Honors ;
i
Cum dim, Feb. ?A Camden girl, i
Miss Anne Whitaker, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Johu Whitaker, Jr.,( ,
Laurens Court, la one of the olght ]
beat horseback riders at Cornell Unl- (
veralty.
Out of aome 7,000 students enrolled
at the Ithica, New York, Institution,
sixty wero in the competition to select
the eight best horseback riders. Miss
Whitaker placed high among tho eight
selected, In fact, it is reported she
was ranked as the very best.
Miss Whitaker has practically llveed
on a horse from her early childhood.
In some of her appearancos at
the Swank Horse Shows she has won
signal honors. Her winning the honors
at Cornell, while occasioning much
satisfaction among her many frlendB
here, was not a surprise, as her prowess
and grace* as a rider has long
been accepted.
ANTARtlC DOGS ARRIVE
DE8PITE SEA 81CKNE88
Radio reports from the Byrd Antartic
expedition tell of the safe arrival
of the "North Star" at Little
America. The first part of the enterprise
was completed without any unexpected
difficulty.
Tho 200 husky dogs and puppies
that are destined to play such an important
part in solving the,transportation
problems of the expedition and
undoubtedly have welcomed .their release
from the stifling holds of the
ship and their opportunity to do useful
work in the frozen places near the
South Pole.
Dogs rarely do well aboard ship.
This Is particularly true of dogs like
Huskies, whose natural habitat Is in '
cold countries, when they are carried j
through* the intense heat of the, trop- J
ics. Those id charge of the dogs on
the present expedition thoroughly realize
this and give much thought to
what foods were needed for this, part
of the Journey. (
That they succeeded is shown by
j letters recently written by botk the
trainers, Richard Moulton and HbHls
I Richardson, to the Chinook Kennels
| at Wonalancet, New Hampshire, 1
j where most of these dogs were raised
and trained. These letters said that
ail the dogs were well and all had
survived the rigors of the ocean voyage,
despite a rather general epidemic
of sea sickness. '
This United States Government Antarctic
expedition will establish breedj
Ing kennels in Antarctica. Contrary
' to general belief, there are no dogs
there?the only life being restricted
to penguins, seals and a few birds.
Many dog owners were surprised
that the same foods were ehosen for
tho dogs when aboard ship?and
when they were In the Polar regions.
Climate apparently makes little difference
In a dog's nutritive needs. These
. foods?all made by the Gaines Food
company?are available in Camden, S.
C? at Whitaker and Company.
