Cruising 11 Around with ! "Skipper" There wasn't any luck In the horse shoes last Tbftrfday night. Whatever the Caroline Life cagera carried, rabbits feet or what not sure was more l>otent than what the Horse Shoe cagera could offer. * ? t Those lads from Columbia sure poured it on, staging a rout that waa quite the worst we have seen in many moons. But lest too .much stigma be attached to the local talent, let It be H&ld that -the boys played with a badly crippled lineup. - * Various circumstances combined to make necessary the use of subs, even to calling In cherubic Bobby Bell. The old precision of the Horse Shoe outfit, the sure-flre dexterity and accuracy in shooting, all had gone with the wind. So awful was the oxihtbtion that fully half of the spectators left at the tud ~~ of the first half. ? It was Just one of those things that happen to lite best of sport oomblnar? (ioii8. The Horse Shoe machine was badly out of gear and this was due entirely to the absence of several regulars. * To give you an idea of the blitzkrieg the Carolina Life cagers staged at the Camden gym last Thursday at the expense of the horse shoe lads, take a slant at the score?llOto 35. Ouch. * ? When we read In the Saturday paper that the American Federation of I^abor has expressed sharp opposition to the suggestion that the states of the union provide stiff punishment for sabotage of defense Industries, we saw red. What the heck do they want the American people to do these birds who blow up plants, wreck trains, and commit various other acts calculated co block .preparedness? Mebbe they i would like to have them presented I with a congressional medal of honor.* ? i Just another example of the patriot- J ism of some of the union leaders. The many strikes everywhere in evidence in the nation and particularly in industries engaged in defense construction are glaring demonstrations of sabotage to our way of thinking. This nation needs the loyalty and cooperation of every citizen in the present. crisis and* these birds who advocate strikes at a time like this should be given the limit in punish- j ment. ? 1 State papers have carried a story relative to the new stop lights being operated near Charleston. These are the 8top and go signals operated by traffic and while evidently new to the highway department in the Palmetto state, have ?een used with great success in the midwest for some five or more years. The Camden girls cage team ran wild on the Darlington gym floor last Friday night to wallop a Darlington girls teams 60 to 16. It was the 13th straight win for the Camden maids, who have yet to taste defeat this season. Tho Camden boys again took a lacing from the Darlington boys the score being 39 to 15. According to the metropolitan sport writers the University of Wisconsin cage team takes top rank in the nation this year. Reminds me of the days of Walter Meanwell, that cage wizard who put the Badgers at the op of the heap a number of years In succession. * ? ? ? And out thero in Wisconsin it Is Marquette, whose track mentor, Con Jennings is awarded the plan for the building of teams, that has come to the front with a green track squad ^?

In a recent indoor meet against a veteran Wisconsin track team, the Catholics came home with a 51 to 44 victory. 4 Getting backd to polo for a second, what a game that was last Sunday when the Travelers beat the Yellow Jackets 5 to 4 in a thrilling tilt which went into a second extra period of overtime. On the Yellowjacket team was Peter Grace, Long Island and Aiken six goal star, while on the Travelers team was Cyril Harrison and Brooks Gallion, 6 and 5 goal stars respectively. And it was Harrison who through some fine assists given him by his mates who was the star of the fracas. | Newspaper sport writers from j Columbia, Greenville and Spartanburg were present and expressed amazement at the crowd and were thrilled by the riding of the contestants. * I Good old Joe Bates took a hard swat in the mouth from a mallet during a melee, but after a ten minute in! termission, Bates came back to finish the game and score the goal that gave i the fray to the Travelers. Bates was given a big hand when he galloped on to the field after receiving surgical attention from Cocah Harrison. * * In current events, the war clouds are gathering fast. All we can hope for is a quick victory for England. If wo are unfortunate enough to get Into the mess we will end up with a national debt of at least 150 billions of dollars? And whether we win or lose, we will be face to face with a serious economic situation. Those with money may awaken to fiind It worthless while the great mass of people will find a much lowered standard of living and a severe loss of social gains achieved, according to the Charlotte ; Observer. i . , The hardest blow of the week came when we were told that A. Stanley Llewellyn, a Camden resident for *.ho past 17 years, is to leave us. Not only will his departure, with that of his charming wife, be a real blow to Camdon, it will be a personal loss of great ? magnitude to this department. "Stan" ! is a real fellow, a true friend and a civic builder. While we, and all of | Camden, will regret his leaving, we j are happy in the thought that in hia ' new field, he will have greater opportunity and greater return.

Robin Hood, The Lovable Rogue, Soon Koblu Hood, the lovable. legendary rogue, who robbed the rich to feed the poor, eta lids high among the daring heroes of literature. Clare Tree Major's company of professional troupers who are to rocreate the high adventures of Robin ami the merry men of Sherwood Forest at the High School Auditorium on Friday, March 7, under the auspices of the Junior l*eague are themselves modern day adventurers who dsiily encounter and overcome perilous obstacles which might have stumped the ingenious Kobin Hood himself. Each year, over a million youugnlera in all parts of the country enjoy Mrs. Major's productions of the children's classics. Sitting in warm theatres throughout the nation, wide-eyed and open-mouthed, watching the actors perform with professional smoothness, it is difficult for theso children or their parents to conceive of the hazards the players experience before the curtain rises. Actors, scenery. costumes and properties are transported from city to city by trucks and touring cars. Every morning at seven o'clock, the actors are up and ready to travel. Each day, they cover from twenty to two hundred miles, sometimes playing two and three performances daily. Blizzards, rainstorms and even mild cyclones do not alter their rigid schedule. The children of the nation cannot be disappointed. The curtain must go up on time. Some sort of a record must have been established last season by Mrs. Major's six professional acting companies. In eight months, they covered 287,000 miles by motor, playing from three to six plays In each of 328 cities from coast to coast, before a combined audience of 1,218,000 children; and not one actor missed a c ue, much less a performance. The new production of "Robin Hood" Includes authentic 13th century folk sougs arranged especially for Mrs. Major by Dr. Sigmund Spaeth, noted composer and authority on early folkmusic, who is familiar to radio audiences as "The Tune Detective". Dr. Spaeth spent many months in research of 12th and 13th century psalter and recorder music before he began work on the "Robin Hood" compositions. Mrs. Major's original version of the famous children's classic is opened by a strolling singer who walks down the aisle chanting a prolognc^wk^oh begins, "Now list ye. merry gentleb^m", set to the beautifu 1 melody of ^Le Paradise", whioh has been adapted by Dr. Spaeth, in the exact style of the period. The first song in the actual play, "In Summer Time", is based on another authentic melody of the time, the lovely "Chanson de lat Perronelle", which has maintained its popularity for centuries. Mrs. Major predicts that the hit song of the play will be "Summer is 1-cumen in", the oldest part song In existence.
