PORT OF VARNA (
U ' i ..
Captured Town W?? Onco Thriving
8o??lde Resort
Varna, now possessed hy tl?o Ger- j
man invaders of Bulgaria, has had, In <
recent yeurs, two distinct aspecth. i
The southern part of Varna is a thriving
Black 'sea poVt, while Its eaotdrn
section prosents the appearance of a j
moat popular seaside resort, says a ,
bulletin from the National Geographlo
society.
"The cosmopolitan appeal of this
Atlantic C-lty <>f the Balkans was reflected
In the menus of different resort
hotels which offered Bulgarian,
Hungarian . Bohemian or German
cooking," the bulletin adds. "Only
since the first World war has Varna
become a popular watering resort.
"The Danube river has extended an
Invitation to vacationists in a vast
hinterland, adding to the broad appeal
of seaside resorts the pleasures'
of a trip down the scenery rich Inter*
national waterway.
"Around the quays clusters the old
town, Its crooked streets and general
plan doubtless reflecting influences of
the early aeUlojUQUl which dates back
2,.100 years. The broad avenues and
regularly lald-out areas surrounding
the shipping center represent tho
growth of tho city in comparatively
recent times. Varna's population today
is about 70.000.
orlng Rumania connect at llucurestl
(Bucharest) with tho railroad from
Varna that crosses tho Danube. This
is the only railroad that crosses the
lower river, using the famous bridge
at Cerna-Voda, Rumania. Together
with the approaches and the stone
causeways across tho neighboring
marshes and meadows this great
structure is fully fourteen mllos long.
"Tho port of Varna also lias direct
connection with Ruse (Iluschuk), Bulgaria's
principal Danube river port.
The building of the railway to Sofia,
with many branches connoctlng with*
other towns, doubled tho population
of Varna In twenty-flve years and
made it the principal Bulgarian port
on the Black sea.
"Under normal conditions, Varna
carried on trade with the Black sea
ports by all the principal steamship
lines, and also with Italy and ports of
the eastern Mediterranean. Significantly,
a cable connects with the Russian
port of Sevastopol, Crimea.
"Not until Varna began to lose Its
shipping business did it develop Its
resort possibilities. With the loss to
Rumania In 19111 of southern Dobruja.
which brought the Rumanian border
within thirteen miles of Varna, tho
port was shorn of tho trade of a vast
/ area of rich agricultural land with its
wheat shipments. It gradually yielded
first place on tho Bulgarian coast
to the rival port of Burgas to the
south. j
"What effect the restoration of [
southern Dobruja to Bulgaria, last
year, will have on Varna's volume of '
trade will depend largely upon the '
chajiged situation following tho war." '

50A8T GUARDS TELL
OF 8HIP8 8EIZURE
Columbia, Muy 3?-The United
Rates Coast Guard's own story of
itfonts leading up to the recent aelsiiirus
of German und Italian ships in
American harbors was told lu un
Interview today by Wen N. Criswell,
administrative officer for the office of
government reimrts In South Carolina.
'Hie ship Hohuros, said Criswell,
wero ordered after coast guardsmen,
In making a routine check of tho
Italian inerchantmaif Vlllarporosa in
the harbor at Wilmington, N. C., discovered
that the vessel's water pump
had been smashed, rendering her a
hulk In the way of other shipping In
tho harbor.
Mr. Criswell told how tho VlUar-l
perosa had been ordered to a new
berth because of crowded conditions
In tho Wilmington harbor. Because
tho vohsoI had steam engines and considerable
time would have been required
for her to got up sufficient
steam to move under her own power,
A tug was pressed Into service.
After tho ship was moved, he said,
the Coast Guardsmen boarded her to
make suro that she was snug In her
now berth, It was discovered that she
had been crippled. Tho captain of
tho Wilmington port?who Is a Coast
Guardsman?flashed his report to the
Coast Guard Commandant In Washlngton.
?
Then, he added, the acting secretary
of tho treasury, with the approval of
President Roosevelt, Issued orders to
take over all Italian and German ships
in American harbors.
Criswell pointed out that In tlma of
war or whenover the President declared
an emergency that warrants,
the Coast Guard becomes a part of the
Navy.
Mr. Criswell was Interviewed over
radio station WIS in a program arranged
by I^awrence M. Pluckney,
state director for the office of government
reports.
HUSKIE. PAL OF YOUNG
FOLKS PASSES AWAY
"Husklo", the big bulldog owned by
Don Campbell, Lafayotte street Is
dead.
You'll remombrr Huskie. He was
the bull seen trotting down the Main 1
street dally with a bundle of dog
meat securely wrapped and tied In his
mouth. N
No matter how many dogs approached
to sniff at tho parcel of
meat, Husklo was all business and
kept on his way from tho market to
his home. There in the backyard he
had the supreme satisfaction of unwrapping
the moat and eating It. He
lias never been known to unwrap tho
meat on the way homo and lie has
been carrying It for 12 years.
Huskie was a great pot. beloved by
all the neighbors, young and old.
When Just a puppy he accompanied
tils master to tho store and market
and It was at this time that the
butcher wrapped up a few bits of
meat and gave to him. For twelve
rears Huskie never missed a day
when he trotted down to the market,
tot his meat, trotted back and ate if.
Hiiskio died suddenly. Members of
In- family noted he was 111 and sum
nioned his master. When Don Campboll
reached the side of the dying dog
Huskie looked up at him, and if dogs
can smile, Huskie smiled?and was
gone. It seemed as if Huskie knew
that all was well with the world when
he saw his master and the rest ol his
loved friends around him.
Ye sir e-e-e we're going to miss
Huskie.

MORE FEED MEANS MORE EGG8
TO INCREASE DEFENSE FOODS
Plenty of feed for farm poultry
flocks means more eggs, and more
eggs help assure ample food supplies
for this country, Great Britain, and
other countries resisting aggression,
County Agent McCarley said today.
Keeping the masli * hoppers full, he
said, is one way farm men and farm
women can help in national defense.
Prices are good, and the Department.
of Agriculture .will support the
market at an average of about 22
cents. Chicago basis, for the next two
years, he pointed out. Feed supplies
are abundant. Commercial poultrymen
already are feeding their flocks
to get the most iKjsslble eggs, so that
extra eggs must come from special
feeding of farm hens.
"Feed plenty of mash, either homemixed
or commercial, and all the
grain the hens will clean up at night" he
siid. "Keep fresh, clean water
where the hens can get it easily at all
times. Wet ma>Ti is an excellent
appetizer. It. should bo fed in aj
crumbly state, and ortco started, must
be kept up. Kxtra eggs will pay for
the udililional work."
Kee.s are an idoal means of turning
Kver-Normal Granary reserves of
corn and wheat into defense foods, ho
pointed out Production can be maintained
by better fe'eding. Powdered
or dried eggs keep well and take little
storage or shipping space in proportion
to their food value. A case of 30
dozen eggs dries down to about 10
pound 8.
"Give the hens all they'll eat this
spring ". McCarley said. "Don't make
them rustle for their food. Feeding
for more eggs is a real opportunity for
farm men and women to aid defense
and add to their Incomes."
Whatta Man!
"Compan-eo. ateenshun!" bawled
the drill sergeant to tho rookie squad.
"Compan-ee, lift up your left leg
and hold It straight out in front of
you!"
By mistake, one soldier held up his
right log. which brought it side by
side with his neighbor's loft leg.
"Aw right!" shouted tho sergeant
when he noticed this. "Who's the
wise guy over there holding up both
legs?"
Ninety-flve patches were required
to repair damages to wings of an
airplane caught in a hailstorm in
South Dakota in 1939.
More than threo-fourths of all
manufacturers' excise taxes paid to

Beautiful garden! cannot be obtained and maintained without proper
feeding of the plant!.
A little attention paid to the proper
fertilization of flowers, shrubs, and
other ornamentals will frequently
give great satisfaction in hotter and
more lasting plantings, Many flowers
arc rapidly growing plants and
therefore must l>e assured of a plentiful
supply of plant food to take carc
of their needs during the intense
growing period.
The application of a nitrogen fertilizer
will produce a rapid and lush
growth. The use of this fertilizer on
new beds frequently gives gcWxf rtr*
suits for a year or two. Then the
plantings do not do so well, to the
disappointment of the gardener.
What he does not realize is the drain
on the phosphate and especially the
potash in the soil made by the plants,
most of which are removed each year
as trash or prunings. A number oT
growers use l>one meal, which takes
carc of the phosphate, but potash is
often very much the neglected child
in the fertilizer family.
With the tendency to use large
amounts of nitrogen to get large
growth, the use of potash is particularly
important. These two plant
foods complement each other, and
each does best when used in proper
ratio with the other. The potash balances
the rapid-growth-producing
qualities of the nitrogen, and gives
the planf strength, vigor, and the
ability to resist diseases and unfavorable
weather conditions.
A flower growing on a rich bed
often starts off with a. fine growth,
makes a big plant, then bends over
and produce# a disappointing, small,
and dull bloom. Roses winter-kill
and suffer from black spot in the
summer. Bulb plantings do podrly
after the first year. The cause in
many cases is unbalanced fertilization.
The proper fertilizer to use varies
with the plantings and the soil. In
most cases, a complete fertilizer
should Ik* used. This is one containing
nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and
potash. A good general purpose fertilizcr
is one containing the nutri
cuts ill a l-Z-2 ratio, hucli analyses
as 5-10-10, 4-8-8, 4-8-7, and similar
Krades fall in this class. In many
sections, a potato or tobacco fertilizer
makes a good Hower fertilizer, In
the analyses, the first figure refers to
the percentage content by weight of
nitrogen, the second to the phosphoric
acid, and the third figure to the
potash, the analyses always being
given in the same order. In buying
fertilizer, more attention should be
paid to the analysis than to the brand
' name, since it is the content not the
name- that does the work.
* Fertilizer should be used during
the spring and summer. When mak,
ing new beds, it should be evtyily
spread after spading, but before
working down the soil. In old beds
the fertilizer should be spread before
workup thciti up, so as to mix
the fertilizer well with the soil, and
prevent burning the seed or roots of
the plants. A good rate < ( application
is 3 or 4 pounds per 100 square
feet.
On plantings of roses and other
perennials, the fertilizer should be
spread around the plants several times
during the season at about half a
handful to the plant. Care should
be taken that very little or none of
the fertilizer comes in direct contact
with the plant. The plants should
be dry when the material is spread,
and it is a good practice to water
well after applying the fertilizer.
Complete fertilizer should not be
applied after Labor Day. In order
to harden perennials and make them
go through the winter in better shape,
it is a good practice to apply one
or two applications of a fertilizer
such as 0-10-10, or 0-14-14 during the
fall.
Questions relative to what can be
done about evergreen planting* turning
brown are often asked. This
browning usually is due to a rust organism,
and so far no effective direct
remedy has been found. The best
thing to do is to fertilize as suggested
for perennials, so as to increase the
general vigor of the plant.

SOUTH BROAD STREET CAMDEN, S. C.
Secretary Makes Report
Chamber of Commerce
(Coutinued from first page;
that courteous and attentive servcle
to all visitors wins friends for our
community. That haH always been
our objective. We volunteer to help
the tourist* who call on us. The
memory of helpful service Is one to
linger forever. No matter how widely
travelled a man or woman may be,
they are ill at ease when In a strange
town. We have sought to make the
nauie of Camden mean friendliness
and' courtesy and 1 believe we have
accomplished It.
Many other benefits and advantages
occurlng to the community dunlug
the past year can be cited. Suffice
to say that Camden by Its affirmative
action will bo on the "main line" In
the years to come. Sincere thanks
are extended by this office to the city
council, the many merchants who
have cooperated, to Dexter C. Martin,
state aeronautic commissioner, who
made oiy air school possible for Camden,
to the Southern Aviation school
officials for the fine plant 'built, to the
Columbia State, the Charlotte Observer,
Charleston Nowa and Coqrier and
the many other papers who have given
space to our promotional releases,
to the radio stations who have given
freely of time for Camden exploitation.
especially Station W I S at Columbia.
The issuance of a city directory,
preparation and printing of a new
map of the city, tho buildup of the
polo program to an unprecedented
degree, the publicizing of the horse
show, hunter trial, cup races and
other equestrian features to the extent
of making each a big success
from the standpoint of public Interest?these
are but a few of the
activities the Chamber has been
Identified with.
We have cooperated on tho matter
lof community, state and national
defense, attending the various meeting
held In connection with the same.
Have also attended the metings held
in connection with Organized ^Business.
Inc.
The organization of a local defense
council and the inauguration ' of a
defense survey are two other matters
on the action record.
I am happy to report that the city
has appropriated $2500 to the
Chamber for the year just starting. I
am hopeful that our membership
drive ttiis month'will add at .least
$1200 to this figure. Through contacts
-I have made In the past several
weeks I have already secured approximately
$800 for the membership
fund.
During the past year your secretary
personally collected $700. It Is
my sincere hope that the membership
drive this year can he carried on with
dispatch and over a period of not
more than a week.
May I express my thanks to the
members of the Board and particularly
to President John K. deLoach to
Mayor F. N. McCorkle and to Lee
Mays for their advice and cooperation.
I am hopeful that our cotton festival
can ho held the latter part of
September or early in October this
year. However, the army maneuvers
to be held through this area may
make It necessary to consider a
change. Last year's combination festival
and Christmas parade was I
believe the most outstanding affair
of its kind offered in Camden in many
years. f
For some time past I have pondered
the advisability of formulating a
credit bureau here. I have had some
experience In this kind of a unit and
while the national credit association
does not regard communities of less
than 15,000 population as being able
to meet the expense of ? 1
functioning bureau. I am to oon,
with some of the merchants to **1; 1
tain If the plan is feasible huTi 1
credit bureau of the kind I have it 1
lulml requires a full-time clerk a, 5

I would like to state that 1 beUev*
we have an excellent merchant* '
ganlsatlon now functioning. At, u. I
Kaln, one of the member* of n,*
board is the president. Jack Mooi! !
Is vice president and Dallas Ih>o u J
the secretary-treasurer. 1 have bean
at the meetings which have been held 1
and I am Impressed with the euthus- I
lasm that has been in evidence. I b?
lieve that the membership now'totals
some 50 merchants. I
l*ast Monday I attended u confer- 1
ence in the office of the governor at '
which uewspaper writers from the !
counties In the area to be included !
in the army maneuvers next fall were I
present. The Governor called the 1
writers together to urge them to I
educate the public through the col- fl
umns to the press to the necessity of
giving all aid to the war department 1
program, especially as it* relates to 1
the trespass rights necessary for the
vast scale movements of the flnt 9
army. Inasmuch as a local contact
man, working with an army contact 9
man were named to arrange for the 9
trespass rights, that part of the confoenco
had no direct obligatoin from 9
this office. However it was pointed
out by the Governor and other speak- 9
era from the army that some 67 million
dollars would be expended in this 9
area during these war games. It will
bring feature writers of newspapers, 9
press services, magazines, observers 9
from foreign nations, thousands of
people from all over the nation who
will be curious to see the fighting
units in war maneuvers. In short, the j
Governor pointed out that South Car- 9
olina has a splendid opportunity to 9
sell itself to these visitors. As. he v
stated who knows but the experience
of being in South Carolina, of njeet- -1
ing her people, of seeing her fine 9
cities and countryside, may mean the *9
return after normalcy of many to j
make their home here.
' ?The U. S. No. 1 highway will be ]
the main artery for the operation of 9
troops and we must reconcile our- J
selves to the fact that the tourist -9
traffic will be routed away form No .1 9
during the maneuvers.. However 9
these maneuvers will be over before 9
the Camden winter program gets j!
under way.
The Governor pointed out that .9
there will be ample police protection 9
offered during the occupancy of com- 9
munities by the soldiers. Military r
police will work in conjunction with 9
local police authorities in preserving f
order. .
What I believe Is of some concern 9
to us is the necessity of providing re- 9
creation for the soldiers. Right now 9
we are faced with the problem of ;9
providnig recreation for t helped eta at f
the flying schools. The churches |
upon our suggestion have already sB
undertaken a good start in the right 9
direction. But there is a great deal 1
more needed. We must arrange 9
dancing parties and the like for these 9
cadets. This office is now working
out a recreational schedule which fffl ?9
take in the flying school group, also 9
the 165 engineers now camped at the 9
fair, grounds for a several months ]
period, as well as our own group of 9
boys who wish to play outdoor sports. J
The members of this engineerng 9
company impress me as being a fine I
type of lads. > I spent several hours J
with the commanding officers and j
made contacts for them in the matter I
of food supplies. Also for barbering a
and the like. We are to workj>utJL9
recreational program with them this J
ALL DOGS I
MUST BE VACCINATED]
Every person in the City wlio owns a dog j
or dog's must have them vaccinated if they |
have not been vaccinated this year or suffer the 1
consequences. A complete list of all dogs
in the City has been made by the Health Offi'8
cer, therefore none may expect to escape. .
The work will be done by Dr. T. B. Bruce, B
II, Veterinarian, at his office on Lyttletoft*
Street, Monday and Tuesday, May 12 and 13.No
dogs will be permitted to remain in thel
City unless they have been vaccinated. Be surga
to bring your dog the first day, if possible. Th<||
fee will be 90 cents for each dog.
