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.
,

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

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.

Increase Sales
For Anglow Tweeds
Additions doubling the also of the
present dye room at the Anglow
Tweed factory, Midland Road. and providing
more storage apace by the construction
of a new building measuring
20x40 feet are rapidly noaring completion.
Five years ago the Anglow Tweed
company moved In to occupy a building
which was designed especially for
the work of producing the hand-loomed
fabrics for which this company has
become famous throughout the Untied
Ktutes and Canada. Each year increased
business has necessitated
| making additions to the floor capacity
of the plant. To date the present*
buildings more than double the original
in capacity. '
Starting with two looms (designed
und built lu their own shop) the
company now has 14 looms In constant
operation. The dye room is
equipped with the most modern type
of stAlnless steel dyo tanks and washing
machines. A special laboratory
for developing dye formulaes was constructed
during tho past wlntor. It la
equipped with, the most delicate measuring
devices obtainable in order that
tho production <>' various Ingredients
-may-bo-mlxod oxactly to produce any
definite shado of color desired.
Anglow Tweed's sales for the past
winter far exceeded expectations and
there Is every Indication that the socalled
summer-season trade will tax
the factory to capacity.-^-Southern
