?Cruising Around <i with ;; 'l "Skipper" Someone Is always taking the Joy out <?i living. The weather man chewed off a big chunk of happiness for I a number of Syracuse fane here in Camden by turning on the showers last Friday when the Chiefs played (tie Durham Bulls at Columbia. I * The Bunny Austin?^Sam Daniels leunls match at the Klrkwood court aure gathered a lot of publicity for I Camden.

I ? * + * Friend Idlly's gamecock who travels under the name of Winston Churchill made the news in some I three thousand AP serviced newspapers All because Mr. Qamecock Churchill was a terror to rats. ?4' I The death of ^Caesar, 41 year old horse belonging ..to Miss Henrietta McWillle Johnson was worth another I nation-wide bit of publicity through I the avenue of the Associated Press. ? * * ? The state highway department did I a nice Job, of repair work on Broad ' street, eliminating several holes I which were the source of much noise when traveled over by hlg trucks. The flight against redk> Interference In Camden Is to continue, acI cording to Mayor McCorkle. And let us add that the sooner the ordinance requiring Installation of condensers on motors is enforced the better will ' I radio be. * * * Notice that Billy Mullen, a member I ot' the Jack Mullen family, is In a baseball uniform at high school. If Billy can play the diamond game as I well as he does on the grid or wood I he ought to be mighty valuable to Lin Smith. * I The victory of Lin Smith's diamond I iwstimers over the Sumter Highs proI vided an Interesting angle to state I high school baseball. Sumter dropped 4 to 2 game to Columbia, that being f th?> same Score Camden defeated I Sumter. So after all, this gang of I ours isn't so bad. Let's all Join the CBC, which means < CumuIoh Roost** Club. The only qualification for membership la a desire to give wholehearted support to the Camden high school ball club and later |he Legion team I'm Just enough of a baseball fan to want to see the sport go over in Cumdoit^ whether It be high school.

So folks, pack up your troubles lu the old kit bag and amble out to'the city ball lot this afternoon. The Highs take on a smart Darlington team here. It'll be well worth the two bits you plank down at the gate. He a member of tho CDC. Fireside musings: ? It makes a mighty difference whether public servants have the spirit of service or the spirit of spoils, it seems to me It makes a vast difference whether men are elected to office because they have an unselfish desire to promote civic progress or because they are selfishly ambitious and desire to promote thomselves . . . . Regardless of what politicians say, do or think about taxes, 4t most be conceded that many small industries have found it , Impossible to exist under heavy tax loads .... Racine, Wisconsin, residents found grim Irony In last Monday's papers. One story told of the Chamber of Commerce being notified that Racine Is among the honor cities of the nation in fire protection, while another story told of the most disastrous fire in the city's history .... This year 40 states have earmarked funds to be used for publicity extolling their merits. A total of over $4,000,000 has been appropriated. These states know that the Influx of tourists Into any state projects Its effect far beyond the hotel keepers, restaurant owners, resort landlords and stores which are usually direct beneficiaries. The money taken in seeps through an entire community. It creates new jobs, makes possible greater spending, filters finally to the smallest business man, far removed from direct contact with tourists. * * * From all we have heard, that new program featuring Eleanor Rooeevelt and promoted by a soap manufacturer will offer only good clean fun. * * Literally speaking tho case of radio reception in Camden has become a sort of "in agin, gone agin, back agin, Finnegan." Last Friday night something happened?no one seems ? to know ? but It happened during a chec& over of the light ' system in Camden dhd lo and behold, the air wm us sweet and clear as a houud's tooth. ? ? This department inado haste to call up manager To bin und the mayor and compliment them upon uttaiulug sue oess by clearing the air of interference that has blocked out all stand aid band programs for several weeks. Saturday evening we sat down beside our radio, turned the dial and wham?the air was loaded with the same, old noise. Again, with a yen to listen to tho nonsense of Charley McCarthy we dialed in again Sunday night?but alas and alack?it was like a dozen packs of tire crackers going off in pairs. ? * ? ? Hut oh Joy?someone must have found the push button again for a half hour later tho air was again clear and \yithout blemish. Well folks, we're keeping our lingers crossed. We hope the source of the Interference will he definitely located and Just as definitely eliminated. If not we're going to sell the radio and buy one of those old reliable gramaphones. Cyril Harrison had two well-matched teams in action at tho polo field Sunday when tho yellows snatched a game from the Nluos by a 4 to 3 score to take the lead In the Sylvan bowl series, * * The crowd was as large as could bo expected In view of the fact that many winter residents who are horseminded have left for their homes in i the north. * The second game In the Sylvan bowl series next Sunday, then a third game on the last Sunday of the month and it looks as if it will be the end of the polo season. Wo would like to appeal to the sport lovers of Camden and vicinity to turn out for the remaining games. The polo club has had a bad season due to the cold and wintry weather during many weeks of the season and the group needs financial assistance to break even. Bear in mind the polo club la a non-profit organization. All they ask is cooperation enough to enable them to make expenses. The players are not paid?on the other hand?they pay to play. ? While Camden ran lrito a lot of tough luck In trying to get a ball club this year to train here we see a pot of gold at the end of the 1^41 spring rainbow. Yes-sir-e-e-e we have a prospect that looks mighty certain. At the riBk of sticking our neck out we would like to say we are for daylight saving. If the state adopts such1 a plan for the summer months there will be no apparent change in the daily routine of life? except ? and his Is the feature I like?it will give those who work in stores, offices or Mher jobs one more hour of daylight md recreation. We have lived in communities where the plan prevails ind It sure is a fine setup.
