Coppers Rout Steaks
At New York Cafe
Ous Michiotls, proprietor of the
New York Cafe, was host to the Camden
police department at a steak dinner
in the cafe Tuesday evening.
Thick, luscious, sizzling porterhouse
steams?one for each of the blueooats,
were the piece-de-resistance of
the menu and when the minions of
the law had cleared their, platters of
4he steaks, Ous followed with a choice
of roast pork or roast beet Some of
the lads took both.
Anyhow it was a real feast?what
with fine salad, shoe-string "taters"
and a lot of other "fixings."
The blueooata did foil Justice and
if a tew, a very few, almost wept
because a full capacity prevented two
pieces of cherry pie, they were to be
excused.

Polo Clubs To Play
Cool Springs Plate
The first game of the Cool Springs
pluto series will be played Sunday afternoon
at the No. 1 field between the
Cool Springs and Mulberry teams of
the Camdejj polo chib.
With the attentfiuvot J*t the polo
games showing up In an" astonishing
manner the past two week ends, the
polo club has decided to extend the
season to complete the Cool Springs
plate event. This means at least two
[more Sunday games and in the event
of the first two finding the teams
deadlocked, a-third game will be
played.
The Town foursome took the Sylvan
bowl series by annexing the game
last Sunday by a 5 to 3 score before
a- crowd that was of mldeeason proportions.
Polo club officials were
surprised and pleased over the eplendid
attendance. Parties from Columbia,.
Newberry, Rock Hill, Charlotte,
Chester; Sumter and Blshopvtlle as
well as from other cities and towns
were seen in the polo area.
The game, while not as exciting as
the one the Sunday before packed a
thrill a minute in the final chukker
which saw C. P. DuBose bring the gallery
to its feet with as spectacular
a goal shot as has been offered In the
No. - arena in many moons.
BuBose had carried the ball out of |
a flurry of riders and uncorked a |
pretty shot toward the Yellow goal.
A second crack at the willow caused
the head of the mallet to fly off Intent
on getting the ball Into pay dirt
DuBose took a follow swing with the
bare stick, hit the ball and it went
over for a score. The crowd really
did go to town in cheering the husky
rider. Town
opened the afternoon program
by annexing two counters in the
initial frame. Goals were rung up by
llghbfoot and Tapper's ge gee. DuBose
counted for the? Blues. In the
second frame Clybnrn of the Yellows
scored and In the third Tuppor registered
a marker. The Blues were
blanked In both these chukker*.
In the fourth chukker Burns of the
Blues scored the lone goal of the period.
in the fifth Rtfbertaon of the.
Yellows wan the lone scorer. Then
in the sixth the Blues added a third
score on DorBose'B fancy shot.
Tupper** counter In the third chukker
was made after the bell? the
ball being in play for fully a minute
before It went out of bounds via the
goal route.

John W. Pope, Jr.. representative
of the Merchauts Mecantlle Agency
of Washington. P. C., has been busy
for the past six weeks In the Camden
and Kershaw trade territory, assisting
business men In organising an up
to date credit system. More than one
hundred business Arms in Kershaw
oounty have sponsored the organiratlon*.
according to Mr. Pope.
There are four Important features
embodied in the Byetem, and at a minimum
cost, covering a period of two
years. The first feature is a Credit
Rating Hook, containing the name
and addresses of Kershaw county people
who do a credit w charge account
business, also names and addresses of
people in the tradiug tone. Information
will be exchanged with any town
or city In the United States. All this
is made possible through the home ofdoe
at Washington, P. C.
The crftdlt buying public is assured
| a square deal, in reporting their standing
as to their paying habits, and no
Injustice can intentionally be don?,
Mr. Pope said. All subscribers will
have the free use of an adjustment
department being operated from the
National Headquarters in Washington,
D. C. A V
All money owed by delinquents Is
paid direct to the merchant or to
whom it is owing. The department
is operated along friendly lines, ?up-,

time giving information on the credit i
of persons who move into the county. J
Th? Credit Experience Guide will j
be ftmrtebed to the subscriber? of
Kerafeqff^eonnty wijtbln the next few
months. Records made by those who
buy wn credit will 4?a*e sufficient Mm#
to arrange their credit rating standing.
' ? ?".
Not only does iMs service furnish
present credit ratings but ii so organized'
that the business men will be
constantly informed on the changing
ratings. JVor example. In the event ?.
customer through some unforseen
emergency finds it impossible to meet
an obligation promptly he can make
satisfactory arrangements with hie
creditors and.is en J?ted. ..Then,
he does meet his obligation*, tble
change in his record is likewise
promptly changed, said the representative.

Rotarians Hear
An Able Speaker
"Community progress hinges upon
tho growth of tho local business .
whici) supports economic life" declared
Frederick N. McDonald, industrial
and development engineer of the
South Carolina public service authority
In a talk to members and guests
of the Camden Rotary Club Thursday
noon at the Camden hotel.
Mr, McDonald,. together with several
other distinguished officials directly
connected with the Santee Cooper
Hydro-RlSCtrio project, appeared at
the Klwanis Club with R. M. Kon?
nody, Jr., former Camden mayor and
now executive assistant of the Public1
Service Authority.
John M. VlUeplgue, Rotary entertainment
chairman of the day, turned
the Hteetlng over to Mr. Kennedy who
gave. an Interesting talk relative "to
tho Santos-Cooper project and Ijrier
extended an luvitatlon to the Rotary
Club to be his guests at the project,
suggest bus that tho regular weekly
meeting be held in one of. the mess
halls at the scene of operations.
Mr. McDonald's talk was productive
of some excellent suggestions for the
guidance of those In Camden who are
Interested in building up the community.
He pointed out In partlouiar that
efforts to bring shout general eco*
nomlc Improvement are falling short
of the mark mainly because of the
disregard for the faot that the wellbeing
of a nation, region or state la
but a reflection of the progress Qf
the communities which comprise It.
Ih pursuing prosperity the speaker
stated, own communities have expended
enormous amounts of money and
effort in surveys, plans, conferences
and conventions, seeking to devise
programs to attract outside investments,
to bring In hew Industries, to
obtain governmental aid. "All of us"
he said, "have been looking to every
possible source but ourselves to build
our prosperity. Our earnest talk ha*
brought forth "encyclopedic programs
of needs and reams of wishful objectives."
A
"But," he went on* to stake, "there
has been a total lack of effective
machinery fitted to the limitations of
Individual capacity. We, need to get
something done by doing the simple
things we can do ourselves. We need
to build our own businesses and to
utilize for ourselves , the opportunities
we are'trying to sell to others.
"We need," he continued, "to hold
our boasting of the ocOaslonal new
payrolls we have "brought ln? until
we take count of the businesses and
local Jobs we have lost. We need to
utilize our community spirit to better
our own and our neighbors' business,
and to measure community progress
by our net gains in employment
and local profits."
In pointing out the solution to problems
of this kind, Mr. McDonald
mentioned the program of the com-J
tminlty development Institute at
College of Charleston which Is being1
sponsored by the Industrial bureau
of the Charleston chamber of commerce
and by the South Carolina
Public Service Authority. This group
Is for the purpose of emphasizing the
i community as the key to state prosj
perity and to extend guidance and Instruction
to civic groups seeking community
development.
The two point program of the In-,
stltute Is the promoting of a program
divided Into two parts; first, "Quit
Talking," and second, "Build Our
own Prosperity."
The extension of community Interest
to the fate of our home business
man can be made ie produce profitable
results by simple and practical
measures which will catch many
stumbling enterprises before they
fall, and will !<? lor*l agriculture
and business to become more staple,
to expand, to increase employment,
and to capitalize home opportunities,
v Officials of the Camden and Kershaw
county chamber of commerce
who were present as members 6t as
guests of Rotary were keenly interested
In Mr. McDonald's remarks and
there is every reason to believe .that
a local business aid clinic will be organized
in Camden under the sponsorship
of. the chamber of commerce.
Following the talk of Mr. McDonald
motion pictures of the Santee-Cooper
operations were shown. These proved
very Interesting and practically
the entire Rotary group remained over
the regular period of time to witness
this educational feature.
Notables connected with the Santee-Cooper
program who were present
with Mr. Kennedy were L?. F. Harza,
of the Harza Engineering company;
Frederick McDonald. Industrial engineer;
W, J. Cormack, educational director;
<?; M. Bruce, project engineer
for the WPA and Frank HaakelT photographer.

R. M. Cooper, executive of the project,
