Rvory assistance to Britain outalde of war." Kvory paper has been requested to print the patriotic call. Doctors for Britain The British Red Cross han asked the Aid erica n Red Cross for 1,000 young doctors. Ho pressing la Britain's need for more medical men, BUpport of thla undertaking has been freely glvou by President Roosevelt and Government officials directly connected with our own medical defense programs. Prom Washington has gotto out the request for Selective Service Boards to give special consideration to volunteer doctom jiubject to military duty with our own troops. Our doctors who uro willing to serve Britain In this'way, and who meet (he rigorous requirements, will bo eligible either for duty with the Royal Army Medical Corps or tho civilian units of-the Kmergonpy Medical Service. As officers of the RAMC, they may choose where they will serve, whether it be Glbrallor, Cairo or Bnwua. Tbelr task will be to work side by side with British doctors in tho treatment of military casualties. Those who elect to servo as civilians Will be fTsblgned duty with "KM3 lit Hospitals and first aid stations in bomb-wracked areas on the homo front. Great Britain's medical profession is lighting dcith and injury against Insuperable odds. On tho homo front in Kngland ami Scotland doctors arc working days without rest. Bombing of population centers has heightened their task, limiting the number free to serve at the front. On the military front?-from Gibraltar to the Middle Kast?the fast movement of troops has created acute problems for Britain's Royal Army Medical Corps. In former wars medical officers attached to troops were a bio to handle large numbers of casualties in base hospitals. Today tho British doctor at the front travels virtually on wheels, picking away Jo a new theater of war. With the limited facilities of mobile units, more doctors are needed than in previous wars. Aside from tho humano aspects of I sending doctors to Britain, this contingent of American doctors will return to America with invaluable ex- ( perlence In the modloal techniques of modern warfare. Their knowledge and skills may bo noeded some day in tho defense of our own shores.

POMEROY'S GARDENS A TREAT TO FLOWER LOVERS The April meeting of the Camden garden club was held at tho home of Mrs. Robert W. Pomeroy, Monday afternoon. April 14. The business session was given over largely to discussion of the regional meeting of the Sandhills district of garden clubs which was held tho folI lowing Wednesday at the Court Inn. The program for the afternoon consisted of a series of moving- pictures shown by Dr. Robert W. Glbbes, of Columbia. Among those pictures were those of Kdlsto Garden, owned by tho city of Orangeburg; Swan Lake of Sumter, and his own lovely fall garden showing many varieties of chrysanthemums of gorgeous colors. The last series of pictures shown were taken during the recent visit of Dr. I Gibbcs to Guatemala, and gave much I of the topography of tho country as well as the life and customs of its natives. During tho social hour the guests were Invited Into tho dining room I where delicious refreshments were j served, with Mrs. W. S. Ralnsford and | Mrs. R. B. Pitts pouring tea and cof| fee. j Nothing can give one more exquisite pleasure than a stroll on a beautifully kept lawn In the late afternoon. Mrs. Pomeroy's guests were afforded this pleasure which was greatly heightened when suddenly* crno found oneself in a lovely hidden garden built around two large mill-stones In the center of a dense group of pines. An iinviting wrought iron bench is near and extending in all directions are bricked walks bordered with Ivy, which also covered much of the entire ground. All plants in this garden were brought from woodlands and placed In their natural habitat. Here one could sit and enjoy an utter peace und contentment listening to the songs of the many birds Invited to linger there.?Mrs. G. H. Baum, publlctity for Garden Club. Bundles For Britain Plan Aid to Hospitals Tuesday, May 6, will be Bundles for Britain Hospital Hay all over the United States and here in Camden the lopal unit of Bund lea for Britain are planning on having small banks placed in many public places where the public may deposit coins for the fund. The picture of the hospital situation in Kuglund is ghastly and there is need of a generous response from Americana to give immediate aid to tho many institutions which have suffered as tho skies rain death and destruction, . In England, May 6, ia known as Hospital Da,y. On that date for many years the entire nation joins in raising funds for the voluntary hospitals. In spite of war, threatened invasion and nightly air raids England with incredible heroism plans to hold as usual this year their annual hospital day. instead of pretty ' debutantes in Spring frocks collecting on street corners this year there will be brave English girls in tin huts and gas masks who know that these hospitals must continue their humane work. But and this is a very Important point? -there is very little money In England now -and that is whore wo fortunate Americans must lift high tho torch for these hospitals. in many communities in this country tho hospital fund day will bo in the nature of a tag day. In Now York famous stars of tho stage and screen have volunteered to collect funds. Here in Camdon the local unit of Bundles for Britain will place the small banks about tho city, in stores, theaters, b^n^s and other placos where generous big-hearted Americans can deposit their contributions so that British hospitals may continue to function.
