Cruising Around : if vylth "Skipper" ' j I ^0 IT 0->*- 0- tg~ ~ ^ * ? " ""? ^ ^ ^ ^ ? i One of our esteemed friends, Bill Mt>ore, sailed luto tho sanctum the other <l?y and suggested that we suggest to the city lire department that I he autoa of the volunteer member* be equipped with blinker lights und h Irons. Bill thinks it would mean for greater aaftey when the parade to u tire starts. Theao volunteer firemen who fail at making the tire truck usually use their own car and naturally are in a hurry to get to the blase. Red lights mean absolutely nothing and thereby a hazard Is created at stop light intersections. Yes slre-e-e-e- we think Bill has a good suggestion. Bill sez he notod tho plan in ubo at Winter Haven. Florida and it works swell. * From blinker lights and sirens to ix>7o?let's go to" press. Saw tire* Horse shoe boys take a trimming to a finely functioning'118 Field Artillery tettm from Fort Jackson last week. But the trimming was no disgrace to our lads as they put up a swell game In the face of he^vy odds. Gosh out I can't figure how, the equestrian experts play as wCfll as they do after * riding a horso or "Walking around a circle all day out at the 8prlnguale course. Jaunted out to the Springdale area last week with Mister Sanchez an ???Associated pvp>ss camera man and saw Johnny Ixwlwith toting roodstufTs to the bosses. Moore was doing a marathon around a big circle, leading a nice looking equine. And that Is why I cannot flguje the boys do as well as they do on the hardwood. Walk and ride all day and then play basketball for an hour or so every evening. What men, what men. * ? Quite a few fans saw the game between the Horse Shoe team and the Soldier quint. The fans are really waking up to the fact that we have some nice sport on the menu. That move by the vestry of the Mplscopal church to start thinking of entertainment for the flyers who will be In Camden for years beginning next month Is really,something. Dr. Maurice Clark, rector of Grace church is to confer with the sky pilots of the other chuches of the city with a view of starting a cooperative movement along the lines mentioned. We've heard a lot about the collapse of the tourist business and some of the wise guys speak as if the evil was confined to Camden. Not so brother. We talked to Manager Gore of the 1-ord Baltimore hotel at Baltimore in the ofTlce last Wednesday and he ssys the tourist business just isii't. And Mr. Gore had just returned from Florida whore he found the tourist paomotional chaps tearing their hair. Mr. Gore outlined four reasons for the collapse of the tourist business and his analysis was concurred In by several Florida advertising sharks who also stopped in to say hello. First. Industrial leaders who have* In the past taken the months of January, February and March to vacation In the south, at Bermuda or ou .a sea cruise are sticking on the jobsecond, tiie retired class who are living on the Income from stocks and bonds have the Jitters and are fearsome of what is going to happen to their holdings In the event this nation gets into the war; third, heavy Increased income taxes and fourth-believe it or not?the flu epidemic. + * * ? The Florida lads informed us that the Florida west coast Is hard hit. ven St. Pole being below par by a mile while over In the playground cities of Miami and Palm Beach the tourlat business la off 35 to 40 per cent. , Plnehurat with It* large advertising output la uh hard hit aa any place This office reports <hai Inquiries from Florida polnta regarding Cainden are greater this year than before. We refer to northern tmople now In Florida who want to atop over In Camdon on their way north. ' * * * Say cage fans, did you aeo what 1 huw last Friday night? Darn near a halr-puUlng match at tlinoa. And those heavyweight maidens from down Orangeburg way found that the smaller and lighter Camden maidens packed a lot ,of energy and could give as well as take. . This department would suggest to Coach Small and the others In charge of these games that one official cannot handle a game llko that offered between Camden and Orangeburg gals. Kathryn Myers made a good try but the play was so fast and rough It got out of hand toward the last. 1'vo seen wild games but 'believe you me, the way those gals tore* into each other, did flip flops, tackles and what not was a sight for sore eyos. I looked for.a oouple-otboxlug matches or per^ haps a wrestling fracas several timos. But the fans at it up. They cheered, they roared, they jeered and in general resembled a fight gallery in Madison Square garden, all thirsting for the kill. Yes slr-e-e-e we have to hand It to those Camden and Orangeburg lassies for keeping their tempers. They did a lot of glaring at each other after some violent body crashes or spills, but they went right on playing. And after the game they all got together and told each other what a pleasant time was had by all. Johnny Dedwlth's male chorus, did a nice Job of reducing the Orangeburg lads In the second cage spasm of the evening. The score was 34 to 16 and If our records are correct, the visitors were held to a lone tally, that a free Bhot, in the second half. Without any question the Camden boy? team is the, best this department has seen in the four years we have been sitting In at. these cage parties. And we believe Johnny Ledwith is entitled to a lot of credit for the brand of ball the boys are offering. Got all hurried up the other day when a local man who had gone to Fort Jackson to get a Job said the officials of the c*rpentep3 union demanded $50 before he could sign up. j Where is there any democracy in that, kind of a racket? And isn't it time] the government did something thatj would enable men who want work and, who need work, to get that work with-] out paying $50 to some union racket. t * * Well, to get to more pleasant subjects. ? Had another big crowd at the polo game Sunday. Was really surprised to find so many turning out in the cold. And believe me. it was sure cold out there at the No. 1 field. ? Abe Fennell and his charming wife were spectators at the game, but Abe was busy listening to the big shot of the Newkirk Industries tell the story of his life, to keep much tabs on the game* * It was good old Rubber DuBose who won the game for the Blues Sunday. Rubber's solo score in the sixth and final chukker did the business. Bates To Learn Aernonautics Charleston. S. C.,~Fob. 8. William W. Bates, Jr., of Camden, S.
