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..

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."

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.

Report Of
Camden Hospital
The report In detail of the opera- (
tlon of the Camden Hdbpital for 19119 ,
in too voluminous to bo used here but ,
a few facts from it will be of interest ,
to the friends of the hospital and to |
the public. While the hospital has,
been crowded at times, all have been ,
well taken care of and uo one turned |
away. The Increase of cost per pa- ,
tlent day of $8.04 for 1989 over that j
of $2.97 for 1938 has been caused by
Jnoreaso of food costs and Increase of |
salaries, due to requirement of more
Kraduate nurses on the staff, Remandmi
by the American Medical Association
aud the American College of '
Surgeons.
The average bed occupancy per day
was 39.2 in 1938 and 39.3 in 1939, ]
which Is about the frame as the bed
occupancy in the North Carolina and <
South Curollnu hospitals, whoso statistics
are kept by The Duke Endowment.

in 1938 was 86,505; in 1939 88,695. (
The receipts for maintenance come j
from pay and part pay patients, with
donations from The Hurdell Fund,
Tho l>uko Endowment and a few personal
donations.
iielow Is a condensed statement of '
comparison between 1938 und 1939. It (
Is a fact that few realize, that a free
| patient costs tho hospital per day
.about double whut the pay patient ,
costs.
