Guess the natives as well as the hundreds of visitors who viewed our parade l^st Friday were pleased with ji We have received hundreds of congratulations and everybody seems I0 agree it was one of the finest, If not the finest, ever offered in Camden. ~ Well, one can't go far off the path of success when, you have such a splendid group of workers as this department had In the planning and carrying out of the affair. * Our public thanks to Henry Garrison who made possible the bringing here of the units froip Fort Jackson. To Mrs. Watts, who was untiring in her efforts, the same to Mrs. A. C. McKaln, Mrs Joe McKaln, Jim Raley, Mayor McCorkle, Jim Thornton, Leon Tobln, M. B. Burns, A. C.

Just to start the ball rolling we'll say Stanford over Nebraska, Tennessee over Boston and Fordham over Miss State Not knowing who will be in the Cotton Bowl competiton, we'll wait until next week tp display our pro-game wisdom. * l oo bad that weun's down here cannot listen to the Chicago Bears? Washington Redskins title game at Washington Sunday.. None of the radio stations reaching this area at that rune of the day carry the game. W ii jot a postcard to W. B. T. and M ! S. and ask them how come tliey 01- r.-iuiss on such a big game. * Officer Mayer, who was acting chief of the Camden police department during the illness of Chief Rush, walked about 18 miles last Friday. ''Gosh, but my dogs hurt" he said as we stopped to thank him at the football game that evening. Nice work brother. /> *Tjr And It was really a fine Job of policing and traffic control that the boys in blue put over that day. * -? ? The Tuesday morning Post brought some disappointing news. It was a if tier from Bill Mayhew, sportcaater ?i" WIS. who wrote to tell this department that he was leaving for Buffalo where, he will be affiliated with Station W. B. E. N. While Bill goes J,? a bettor job;; we're going to miss on;, for Tie was without a doubt one "f the best sportcasters we know of ind b?Ht of all, a swell friend. - Bill's letter will go into our flies as some thing to.__.be cherished, especially when he says "It has been swell knowing folks like you. Skipper. Thanks for everything and the honor of a friendship such as yours". * In reply may we say "So long Dill and the best of luck." * * * We're waiting to see who fills Bid's shoes at W. I. S. We will say for the | good lads in that radio station that they have been fortupate in having j such fine fellows as Vic Lund, Jim Young and Bill Mayhew on the staff. * * 'We dropped In on the boys in Radio Station WIS last Tuesday afternoon and said good-bye to Bill Mayhew. Bill has been succeeded by Tommy Martin, a New York state sportcaster who hails from Schenectady and who bids fare to become a big favorite with the Palmetto state sport lovers. We really felt like sitting up and giving three cheers and a tiger when Boss J. D. Saumenig of the station told us that WIS would carry the play by play story of the Chicago Bears-Washington Redskins pro football title game Sunday, beginning at j 1:30 ofolook. '*? - * We hope that next fall the management of WIS will schedule many of these programs for Sunday afternoon listeners. Such an offering would be a big improvement over the la-de-dah equaling and close harmony that I features the usual high-brow ether dls- j turbances on Sunday afternon. The folks up north, in the midwest and in the west have the chance to listen to the pro games through the football' season. But down here, It is Impossible as none of the stations to be heard In this locality carry the games. . .? -J-s ? .11.11 PRE SCHOOL PLAY GROUP FOR RECREATION LEADERS A district l^reSchool Play Croup Conference for WPA Recreation leaders will be held in Roek Hill on December 3, 4, 6 and 6.

PRO TITLE FOOTBALL . GAME ON AIR SUNDAY Camden and Kershaw county lootball fans will be interested to know that Radio Station W. 1. S. has arranged to carry the Mutual Broadcasting system's broadcast of the Chicago Bears?Washington Redskins national football championship game Sunday. The Camden Chamber of Commerce has been advised by the Columbia station that the game will be given in Its entirety beginning at 1:30 o'clcok eastern standard time, which Is Camden time. This announcement will no doubt be received with general satisfaction on the part of Palmetto state football fans, Who are ordinarily prevented frojn listening In on the play by play account of these thrilling gridiron battles. It is to be hoped that WIS will plan to provkle broadcasts of more of these professional games another year. In northern communities it Is possiblejo tune in on several of the games, every Sunday afternoon during the season. i Bill Mayhew, WIS sportcaster who has delighted South Carolina sport fans and especially those who have been listening to his splendid sport ch$t8 and game coverages over the air, has left the Columbia station to take a position with Station WBEN at Buffalo. While the fans will regret the departure of Bill, they will accord Tommie Martin, the new sportcaster who comes from Schenectady, New York a real welcome and good wishes.
