Camden, as well as most all other South Carolina cities have boon Infested by i numerous fortune tellers,clairvoyants, J palmists, and crooks of all kinds. It is thought that a gang of these, unwanted people who have been residing In outlying sections of Camden, parked in trailers and tents, were responsible for one major theft and one minor theft. Sheriff Mcl^eod reports that he has apprehended three of the culprits who fleeced an illiterate white couple In j West Wateree of an amount of about) thirty-eight dollars and the money i was recovered and returned to the! couple.

L CAMDEN QIRL8 TAKE REVENQE | ON ROCK HILL BY WIDE MARGIN i (By the Skipper) That hoIho last Wednesday evening about 8:60 o'clock was not a Nail bomb dropping In the center of our attractive bailiwick, but It. was just the popping of the roof of the high school gymnasium when the hundreds of excited fans gathored there to witness the Camden-Rock Hill cage Quarrel celebrated by a Camden win, 26 to 8. Yes slr-e-e, the gals In the black and | gold took sweet revenge on the Lady Bearcats from up yonder and galloped home under the wire with a neat 26 to 8 victory tucked away. And Incidentally your Skipper blazed in a winner on a wager that Camden' would cop at least 16 points. Pop Small, the clever coach of the Camden maids, outguessed the visit-1 Ipg mentor by several miles and. here's how. Peggy MoGuirt, high-| scoring ace of the Camden team has boen blazing a goal shooting path a mile wide this season and Pop realised that she would be a marked lady. And she was. The Rock Hill guards covered her like a circus tent. But foxy Pop had switched his offensive and the burden of operating the adding machine went to Doris Mcl^eod? beg pardon, Captain Mcl^eod. And Doris proceeded to rain them in. The attractive little blonde loader of the local soxtet was given some splendid cooperation by Peggy McGuIrt and Margaret McDowell, also Nell Corbet t. But 'fftide from this clever bit of strategy on the part of Pop Small the highlight of the evening hovered over three brilliant guards on the Bulldog battlofront. Introducing the Misses Howell, Pitts and Hammond, a trio of dynamite. And they stopped the Rock Hill team cold. A few field goals and free shots in the second quarter and a sneaker in the last second of play? wo question if it should have counted ?and that was all for the visitors. Smarting under a 19 to 18 defeat received at Rock Hill a few weeks back, the only blot upon a perfect record for the season, Camden open-' ed up on the visitors with a burst of speed that put them in the lead 7 to 0 at the first quarter bell. In the second quarter the locals eased up and it was then that Rock Hill managed to register 6 points against 4 for the loculs. The score at the end of the half was 11 to 6. I Iji the third period Camden opened on high again" and raised their total to 19 while applying the whitewash brush to the opposition. And in the final period the Camden total went to ! 25 after four minutes of play. ' Then ' it was that Coach Small began to pour ' in his reserves until the final min- ' utes found an entire team of year- ' lings in action And believe me. they played bang-up basketball, breaking 1 up the visitors set plays again and again, it was just as* the final whis-j1 tie sounded that MeCullum of the vis-1 itors mado a desperate heave and tal- 1 lied the only marker of the last half. Captain Doris scored a total of 14 points for her team. Peggy sneaked away from her clinging vines to post 7 points, while Margaret McDowell alternated chewed gum, did some f swell blocking and smearing of her ( opponents and casually posted four f points We take occasion to make * special mention of this McI>owell 1 youngster, for if we have ever watch- 1 cd feminine dynamite in uction?that 1 kid is a big package. And a word or two again about those three guards. They were mag- * nificent and could qualify for any line * of defense on the Finnish front. Rock 1 Hill was simply stopped cold by the!' fine work of Misses Sowell. Pitts and' Hammond. 1 In the closing quarter the gold and:1 biai k reserves who galloped on to the 1 maples wore the Misses Trapp, Gas-1 kin, Hasty, Ogburn and Caroline PittsI --Hie latter a sister of the stellar ( guard, Mary Pitts.

I hey showed lots of promise ' for the future of Camden prowess on the cage court [ 1 Rock Hill had a game group on the tloor hut the fair lassies from up near; the northern state line were simply)! outclassed, could not get started and! were outsmarted. Boys Lost a Heartbreaker A fine Camden boys team dropped a 19 !o Is decision to a fast-breaking and more acc urate shooting Rock Hill squad It might be said that Camden ex p-rbneed some unusually tough liit k in making the ball behave when doing a rhumba on the rim of the i aee< The ball refused to drop through It was this-fact that led to 'In- Camden downfall Chester Loses To Camden ! he Camden invasion of the Ches< age court on Tuesday was produ.'lxe of two wins The Camden m.iidi n> won from the- Chester lassies 36 to 24 after a whale of a tight game. Margaret MclJowell led the winners In scoring. The first half was a nip and tuck affair with Camden leading at the bell 19 to 15. In tho second half Camden started to spurt and had no trouble winning. The boys game was close-?Camden winning 20 to 15. Ted Dunn and Hilly Mullen were high scorers. Tindal look Howell's place when the latter Injured his shoulder. The game, played on an area smaller than the Camden players are accustomed to, was rough at all times. -1?L. g believes environment mors IMPORTANT THAN HEREDITY By A. Moultrie Brailsford, Major, United Btaes Army, Retired) Plea for the Children's Hortto Camden it* widely heralded as a city of culture and hospitality, unexcelled climate and a paradise for sportsmen of various tastes and Inclinations. But In spite of all of these delightful circumstances and numerous diversions, time out Is taken to organize and contribute liberally to the Associated Charities. One of the most Important of thtaq Is the Children's Home where unfortjir nate flotsam receive proper care until homes are found for them. It Is only necessary to call the attention of the public to the needs of this institution In order to arouse generous responses which the committees appointed to solicit funds will undoubtedly receive. The problem of crime and delinquency must be studied back to the cradle days, when potential enemies are concerned exclusively with shaking rattleB and satisfying appetites. I Most sociologists believe that from that point on is shaped the course that will lead either to respectability In later life or to crime, depending on a lot of factors over which the child has no control. It is a mooted question whether criminality is congenital or la moulded by environment. Both undoubtedly exert Influences, but moat experts In the field agree that environments count for more than heredity. Proper, family relationship, home relationship ?rather than blood, la the most Important factor in preventing delin-i queney. The ultimate aim and desire of those interested in the Children's Home is to save these children from disease and crime, and make of them normal, useful citizens, by eventually placing them in foster homes where they will bo given the same care, training and affection that they would receive from their parents under nor-, tnal circumstances. I Already near on to three hundred Children have been adopted byfaml-' lies of independent means?many from the New England states and middle West. Great care Is exercised in examining into the character and financial standing of applicants for children. I The Children's Home is a model of sanitation. The children are clean, healthy, well clothed and well fed. A well-balanced diet is served according to ages. The Home has its own dairy and vegetable garden. There are large play grounds and recreation rooms. The institution Is under efficient management. All contributions *re carefully recorded?likewise all expenses, and the books are checked ind double checked monthly. The Children's Home is an agency1 vhieh concerns every one, and from .vhose human appeal none of us can ifford to turn aside. -INE ENTRY LIST FOR EPISCOPAL DOG SHOW Plans for the annual dog show ofered by the Sunday school group of Irace Episcopal church, to be held on ho Kirkwood grounds Thursday, rtarch 14, have developed to an exent where those in charge feel cerain the affair will be a success in mint of entries as well as spectator ittendance. The show is to be offered on the urf of the old No. 1 golf fairway vhlch is adjacent to the battery of ennis courts. Ralph Chase will be naster of ceremonies. Already over a score of entries lave been received and this total will irobably be more than trebled during he week intervening before the show akes place. The judge of the Boykin spaniel mtries will be J. Willis Cantey. An)ther Judge being sought is a promii,*nf do** breeder and fancier at Aiken. While this spring dog show is a rhurch affair, it takes top rank among : the Camden events of the kind in that there is a more general entry list of quality dogs. This gives promiso of being more in evidence this year than in previous shows. DAUGHTERS OP REVOLUTION HELP PATRIOTIC MEETING | The annual patriotic meeting of the Hobklrk Hill D. A.
