It Is a far cry from tho early days of baseMall with Its tough tobacco chewing ball players to the present day when n hunch of llnrrlsburg hopefuls go south to mingln with high society with a capital S. "Maybe the thing that Intrigued .Jack Warden was tho fact that on Saturday, March 29, they are holding the Carolina Cup steeplechase at Camden This Is Irookrsl as one of the greatest Rteeplochaso races of the kind in tho world and now with bombs falling on Kngland the Camden event may well take the place of the famous, Grand National at Alntroe. "A glance at the training camp schedule shows that tho baseball train will not bo In Camden on the afternoon of tho race. They are being shunted off to Sumter to piny an exhibition game but Jack and his pals are staying in Camden to mingle with the crowd at the races. Who knows he may pick up enough To pay for tho entire training trip Why. If 1 had a now tuxedo to wear in the evening I might tempted to go down and put | a couple of dollara on one of the bangtails myself. But as euro as I did It would fall over the first barrier." NICE WORK GIRLS I The Camden High School (Jlrls baskotball team ban won signal honors for Camden high school. And honors to the high school are honors to Camden.

It was the second time In tho last four years that Camden has taken state honors. Twice the toam finished as runner-up. Tho Chronicle believes that school board, the city and the chamber of commerce should show appreciation to Coach Small and his champions by offering a victory dinner. Tho gesture" is due the group. If stroll a dinner Is given, the members of the boys team should he inviteed to bo present. The boys, while not bringing homo any championship, played a good brand of hall all scar on and tho team gave promise for the future.

"REST CURE" SHOULD BE CONTINUED AT HOME Questioning tuberculosis patients, who return from the sanatorium, it is found that some of them, especially the younger ones, neglect continuing tho rest cure" at home, seeming not to realize that keeping what has been gained in the way of improved health ia in most cases a life time Job. The> say, "I don't do any heavy work or exercise very actively." But in connection with reaping full benefit from what has been accomplished by a lengthy stay In a tuberculosis hospital, rest means lying down, perfectly relaxed. Examples of improved cases now] able to work or return to school are ! about us. The ones most likely to be successful in keeping on the job are those, who make a daily business of cot tain rest hours In a properly ventilated room and follow the diet that has a tendency to keep a person physically fit. Should unusual clrcuinstances Interfere with the rest routine temporarily, it becomes .important to take additonal rest hours at night and on the week ends Also when suffering from a cold or other | illness, extra rest with special em| phasis on more attention to general care is indicated It is hard for people, who feel well especially those that are young, to refrain from entering into athletics, and yet the wise among tuberculosis cases will leave ofT taking part in athletic games and other vigorous exercise, unless he has the permission of his physician. Failure to be on tho alert about keeping in good physical trim Is likely to end In another physical breakdown necessitating further sanatorium care with less chance for a good physical come-back. In the interest of preventing tuberculosis and happenings explained above, the Kershaw county tuberculosis association spend a goodly portion of the Christmas Seal Sale fund on an cducationl program.

Old Age Group Is Organized Here F. M. Kasterlin. president of the Old Ago Pension association of South Carolina addressed an overflow meeting in the Kershaw county court house here Monday morning and made reply to tho statement of Senator Henry K Sims of Orangeburg, chairman of the senate security committee that the plan of tho Old Ago Pension association was unconstitutional, unworkable and fundamentally unsound. ' Mr. Kasterlln stated tha^ he , I ad road with a groat deal of interest the published statement of Mr. Sims and his statement that the old ago plan was unsound and unconstitutional. "Suppose, he said, "for the sake of argument it Is? Did not Mr. Sims have to change the state constitution in order to put the tho present old age assistance law into effect? If you want our aged to have a real pension place it on the ballot In the next primary and let the voters of South Carolina show you tho overwhelming majority they will give to a plan that will provide our aged people a pension large enough to provide food, sholter, clothing and medicine. "Why quibble about tho constitution We already have a law broad enough and a constitution broad enough to pay the aged over sixty five $30 a month. ? "If Mr. Sims Is sincero start a fight in the legislative body and incrense the appropriation at least one million dollars to provide for them. We all know that old people in South Carolina are dying for lack of proper food, clothing ami medicine. I believe in paying teachers well for they do a good work, however, I note that the present legislature had no trouble finding money to raise their pay $10 a month. We are also spending twenty-two million dollars on highways and millions of dollars for other things but when it comes to the aged people of our state, who made these schools and school teachers possible, built these highways and now find themselves old and broken and alone in tho world and In many cases not wanted by their own children. You can only find less than two million dollars to provide for approximately sixty thousand people over 60 years of age for them to starve to death on. "Some of these people in need are our best citizens and as chairman of the social security committee it is the duty of 'Mr. Sims -to do something I about it or else quit criticising those who are. "Mr. Sims said If our association would throw Its Influence 'behind practical methods of helping the aged it would justify its existence. Mr. Sims has probably spoken before he had proper information, for that is just what we are doing. Look over the world today and see who are getting the money?only those who are organized and no man, can practice law who is not a member of their association. Doctors, lawyers, preachers, teachers, railroad employees and industrial workers are organized and all make good money and most of them have peusions provided for them. "The poor old people and the farmers who are not organized and have no one to represent them. In states where they have an organized movement such as I am building in South Carolina?such as California for instance, where the movement is strong enough, they elected Senator Downey to the United States senate. The average pension there is more than $30 per manLhTor tho aged. _ _ In our own state where we have no such movement the pension is less than $7 a month and only one person out of three over 60 years of age gets anything at all. Our organization hopes to build public sentiment that will compel our law making bodies to provide a real pension for our aged. I believe the people of South Carolina are willing to bo taxed whatever it :ost to provide a real pension for all our old people. At the organization meeting here today R. A. Purser of 406 Rutlodge street, this city, was named as president of the Kershaw chapter of the state old age pension association. Mrs. L. Gordon. Cassatt was elected vicepresident and Miss Lula Stokes of Cassatt was named secretary and treasurer. The local chapter has started with a membership of, 63 It, is the 54th chapter now functioning In 29 counties of the state.
