Cruising Around with "Skipper" Tonight's the night. Monetta n, Camden In the basketball classic of Cie goaaon. And right here in our own front yard??the high sohool gym. Camden defeated Monetta several weeks ago at Batesburg-Leesville by ti narrow margin and the gals from down yonder contend it was because they were over-confident. And so the return game was arranged. Monetta won the Glass G title again at the state tournament and as the Camden defeat was their first by a South Carolina team in some oight years, they want to make amends and take Camden here tonight. ? m The defeat of Camden by Anderson in tho state tournament was expected ?at least by this department. Chester gave Camden a real battle only a few days before the tournament and yet were easy victims to the Anderson outfit In the semi-finals. ...? * c Anderson had a fine team, better than Camden last Saturday at Orangeburg. As to whether the maidens from over west could have toppled the Gold and Black of Camden had Captain Peggy McGulrt been in fighting form is a question. It would have been a hard close quarrel with the winner nosing home hy^ the narrowest kind of a margin. * Camden has reason to feel rather chesty about th^e 1940 edition of Gold and Rlack maiden cagers. The team lost hut two games all season and one of those defeats was wiped out In two subsequent games with Rock Hill.. 0 Music lorvers will find a wonderful treat at Grace church tonight when the church choir, augmented by singers from other churches will offer Steiner's Crucifixion. Maurice Clarke, rector of the church will be in charge. * * * That Wisconsin car that pulled Into Camden late last night carried sev[oral bundles of happiness for the writer of this department and his better half. Ben,- Sari and Bobbie Came down from Milwaukee to spend Easter and remain for the "cup." * The officers and directors of the South Carolina Fox Hunters association, although admitting their 1939 bench show and field trials here last October were tops In every way, selected Florence as the scene of actlv Hies next October-. --Seems-the gang was obligated to go to Florence this year, but "we'll be back in Camden in '41" they chorused. f * A week from tomorrow and the bigi gest day of the year in Camden will have arrived. It will be Carolina cup day and we hope that every merchant in this man's town will have a flag out to make the town look gay and alive to the thousands of visitors, who will be on deck. o ? Down in Aiken this week they had an Oriole day to observe tho first game of the training season for the liaklmore Orioles.' Tho whole town dosed up, stores, offices, city offices, filing stations and everybody turned oni for the game. Fine work, Aiken. The Camden horse show, like some 2:< others given by this group, was a big success. And the weather man dished up a perfect day. Oh for a day like that for the running of the '"cup" next Saturday. - ? + ? Attention, Mr. and Mrs. Catndenl We think that a basketball team that won a state A title and was runnerup for the title on two 9ther occasions ?all In three years, is entitled to recognition. And for that r pa son we rise to inquire as to whether there would be any objection to giving Captain McGulrt and her Black and Gold Camden high school? basket**!* a dinner at which Mayor McOorkle, Coach Small, Principal MoFadden, Superintendent Richards, John Villeplgue, Dvnwood Smith and other* who* are interested in the remarkable record ; ?3 of a really remarkable team can got up and say so. ' - * ") And stj, Mister Mayor, and honora-| bl? menders of the city council, let's! give Captain Peggy and company a dinner one of these evenings. Another reason we feel quite cocky about our girl athletes is that four of them were piclted on the all-state A' team. Capt&in Peggy MoGuIrt and Doris McLeod, the latter captain last year, with the Misses Hammond and Sowell, guards on this year's team, all mada the coveted, all-state groups.^ Personally, we believe that Margaret McDowell rated a nich In the hall of fame. That girl is a whizz on the wood. ? CAMPAIGN FOR EARLY DIAGNOSIS GET8 UNDERWAY A campaign for the early diagnosis of tuberculosis is getting well under way with Hey. A. D. McArn acting as campaign chairman. j About this time each year, the Kershaw County Tuberculosis Association inaugurates an early diagnosis cam-' paign for the protection of the oouuty's citizens with special stress being laid upon the welfare of thoae between the ages of .fifteen and twentyfive years, for it 1b in this group that tuberculosis take* its heaviest toll. Tuberculin testing has been done in five of the larger schools during the past month. The seventy-five positive reactors to the tuberculin test will be giyeU opportunity to get an X-ray examination at clinics to be held in Camden durlug the last week in March or at clinics to be arranged tor at state Park. ? "The Kershaw County Tuberculosis Association," said Rev. McAm^ "is carrying on the early diagnosis campaign with funds raised in the reeont Christmas Seal Sale, at which time' approximately fourteen hundred seventy dollars was raised to carry on the program." ' I Camden Boy Named j Clinton, March 16?Harry Y. McSweon of Ilefuniak Springs, Fla., has been elected president of the Presbyterian college student body and Btudent council. Powell Fraser of Brunswick, Ga., wes named vlco president and Hugh Gettys of Camden secretary-treasurer of the council. It is reported that 75 per cent of all the gasoline used in the United States annually Is consumed by passenger vehicles. Radio Leads In Farm Homes . A recent survey of ftfrm homos uslug rural electricity Indicates the type of electric appliances, usually purchased by farm families. The #urvey covered about 60,000 farm homes. The ten appliances in most geueral use teu months after current was received wore: Hand iron, 84 per cent; radio, 82; washing machine, 60; refrigerator, 22; toaster, 31; vacuum cleaner* 111 hot plate. 19; motor up to ohe horsepower, 18 and oream separator, 14. During tho second year aftOr the juice was turned on refrigerators advanced from 22 to 20 per cent; vacuum cleaners from 18 to 27, per cent) and hand irons from 81 to 88 per oent. One farm In ten was using electrlo lights for poultry houses. About one farm in six had Installed an electrlo water pump. Attendant sanitary facilities were iustaUed by 6 per cent und bath tubs and showers by 9 per cent. In discussing rural electrification with prospective farmers the county agent and other workers have found that most people think of securing electricity for the purpose of lighting the home. Tho above survey shows that many farm homes are making use of the electric servhnt to do many more jobs about tho place than just to furnish lights. There are many other practical uses to which people in this county will soon bo able to utilize their current such as brooders for baby chicks, hotbeds for plants, toasters, percolators, and heating pads for the sick room. The people selling electric appliances now even offer an electric blanket which can be used on cold nights like those recently experienced, which are regulated to certain temperatures throughout tho night without the burdensome heavy weight of a lot of quilts and blankets.
