The hotel, by the way, is only three blocks from the ball park. And as for tho field, it's one of the best I've seen down that way. It has tho only grass infield I've sepn in that section and that's partlcu Jarly important to us. v "A football field adjoins tho baseball field, and they're going to put five or six slabs there, so our pitchers can work out without any constant interruption. "Tho measurements of the field nearly correspond with those at Island Park. The distance to left field in Camden is 335 feet; to center field, 400, and to right. 325. At Island Park It is 335 to leTt, 300 to center, and 310 to right. "They have promised to put a twenty-eight-passenger bus, modern and up-to-date, at our disposal. They will also provide the driver. "I have arranged to have the American legion Post Leroy Belk, No. 17, of Camden, sponsor several of our ex hibition games. Part of the receipts will go to War Relief activities. "We will have an excellent trainer. I have engaged the trainer at the University of South Carolina for the training season. I believe his namo is Johnson." Jack continued to ramble on, and in summing things up, said it's a much better place than Greenville, S. C., tho local olub'e training site last year.? Harrisburg, Pa. Evening News.

The team entered the . state tournament at Orangeburg \\ odnesday against this same team. 1 While tho Newberry eager* started the game under evident instructions to cover Peggy McGulrt. the effort cam? to naught as the star artist of the * Cait id en ranks shot 22 of the points made by the Jackets and only took part in half of the game. Added to the 8D potfHM scored in a previous game against the satno toam and 20 against Brook land-Cay ee in Columbia, it was uuite in Hue with tho reoord for, not only this season, but in the three pervious seasons. ' The Camden toam used its regulars in the first quarter of last 1| rlday a game and at the whistle led lb to In the second quarter the reserves, took over and at the three quarter, mark the score was 18 to 12. Several regular* went back into the game in, the Anal quarter and tho scoring parade was on again while the Cam-i den guards checked tho offensive ofj tho visitors almost completely. | The Camden boys played a brilliant, game to trample on the Newberryi quintet 25 to 7. The boys put up one, of the finest brands of pastlming they: have shown this season, not only on, the offensive but also on the defense. Newbersy was balked at every effort to soore% the low count of 7 being somewhat of a reoord in this state, if not In the nation. ______ Camden Boasts Pasteurizing Plant | One of the finest, if not the finest j and most modern pasteurizing plants in South Carolina is under construction iHjthe Wolfe building on Broad street'Ki this city. The Wolfe building has been almost | entirely torn down, only the roof be-; ing utilized in the new construction , program. Tho plant is being con- , structed by Ixmis I Guion and will be ( in charge of Hugh McCullum. It will be j known as the "Camden Dairy. I Over $10,000 is being expended in | 'equipment for tho plant and this will be sufficient to take care of tho anti- j cipated vvpansion of the business. The 'initial Reduction will be about 100 gallons of milk an hour, but this is [expected to be increased within ai ! short time as the demand for the pasteurized product mounts, i In a majority of the states of (ho. ! nation all milk that is retailed must be pasteurized, as the process effectually kills any bacteria or germs which raav bo in the raw product. Mr. Guion has the contract to pro- , vide milk at the flying school here ! and one of the government require-, ments calls for the pasteurizing of all milk used in schools or military camps. , ! Tho new plant has been provided ' with a solid cement floor from front j to rear and the walls are finished in a cement that permits of their being ; i washed through the medium of a hot! spray. The very latest in sanitary , i features will bo in evidenco at the j j Guion plant. ; Should the expansion of the plant meet with the expectations of tho o\v*i- i ! Pr. other lines of dairy products such as butler, cream, ice cream, cheese > and the like will be added. Tho building of this modern pas- , j teurizing plant is another forward . step for this city. | The plant will be in operation with- , ih the next ten days. The public will bo invited to watch the pasteurization operations.

To those who followed the progress of the 1940 hunt race meetings in this country due to the consistency with which tho names of Camden and Carolina trained chasers have appeared in the winning columns, event No. 7, for steeplechase type .horses, will prove an excellent opportunity -to see a number of those favorites first-hand.

Roosevelt as one of the rrentcRt. if not the greatest man In the world today, according to Powell Heath, of Nottingham, England. a cousin of Frank H. Heath, executive secretary of tho Camden chamber of commerce. In a letter received from Powell Heath, and mailed. the middle of February, he.says of the English regard of tho American President, "The way he has lead American opinion, step by step, and his timing of each event, shows pure genius. We in England, thank God for the President of tho United States. This is no reflection on Wondel Willkie, who. from tho start, we have liked. We simply could not, however, see Mr. Roosevelt being replaced at this time by anyone." "Mr. Wlllkle's visit?I write shortly after ho has left this country?has Immensely strengthened the bond between our two great countries. The fact that he took tho trouble to undertake the Journey and by the Clipper Route too, quickened the imagination and, when It l>ecame evident that he was here to see conditions for himself, to converse with whom he liked, go where he liked, and tho like. In order to obtain knowledge first-hand before reporting to the Senate committee on the Lease and I?nd Bill, this appealed to us tremendously and put the seal on his popularity. "Although Mr. Willkle came here entirely on his own, as a private person, we do not overlook the fact that he is the leader of the Republican party, and was its candidate In your recent presidential election, and that he Is in entire accord with the president's policy in extending all possible aid to us.
