BALL FAN Will this bo the last year Camden will have the prestige that accrues to the promotion of an American Legion Junior baseball team? The mombera of the athletic hoard of the local legion post might pin our oars hack for even suggesting that, Camden might be out of Junior com-1 petition another year. Hut unless the Camden baseball fans show more Interest and cooperation this year than In the past two years, we are going to go right out on a limb and predict that the war vets are going to be pretty well fed up with trying to do something for nothing. For that is Just what it means. You know, there Ih a certain degree of prestige and honor to he ascribed to a town that supports a Junior Legion team. It takes money to do It and we think the local Legion post deserves a lot of credit for the perlstent manner In which they have carried on in the face of the lukewarm enthuslasm munfest by loyal sport lollowors. The purpose of Legion baseball is six fold. It isn't in the cards that every team can win. One team in a district or area will be outstanding and win honors. And the others drop Into a Quasi oblivion. But during the period of competition the players on aJl teams have boeu getting some! mighty good lessons in citizenship such as loyalty, obedience, gameness, team play and the like. For that is the real purpose of the Legion program. And for that reason this writer believes that every Camden sport follower should make It a point to support the Legion program. Games will be played either on Tuesday or Thursdays. They will start at 3:30 o'clock nnd we have the assurance of the athletic directors that It will mean 3:30 and not I o'clock. It Is a bit too early to predict just what kind of a team Camden will have. However, w-e are going to crawl out on that old limb again and assert that we have every confidence in the world that the Leroy Belk Host'team Is going to be a fighting, alert, aggressive and well balanced outfit. And if my pronostlcation j proves all wet I'll promise not to bor- ^ row any peanuts from any of you j hereafter. I'll buy my own. , The athletic offipluls have assured us that the field will be kept up dur- ' ing the season. The score numbers ^ will be on the Job und the games willj| be conducted In an organized way and, not in a haphazard manner. | It >o happens thai this writer will 1 have the coverage of the home games I 'cover those games as I would cover ? any other games. If the boys play-. well, they'll receive a nice pat on the back. If they fall down through in11nference or through lack of spirit or Interest we'll have something to say. But because a player makes an error ?well, we're not going to pan any:>ody for making errors of coiumlsjion. -.It s the errors of omission we lo not like. What we would like to put over to be spoiling public of Camden and Kershaw county is that you all diould support the American Legion Junior team this year. DAIRY PR0DUCT8 NEEDED IN FOOD FOR DEFENSE Cletnson, May 26?" 'Datry and De fense' will be an Important farm mot to durlnK the com log month# as tht United States Food-for Defense i>ro gram gains momentum", says C. (> ('unman, extension dairy spec-Hallst Mr. Uushman points out that tht United StatoH Department of Agricul turn urges dairy farmers to Incrbast their milk production by 6 to 8 pel cent no as to make larger auppllet available for cheoBe. dried milk, ovap orated milk, und almllur conceutratoc dairy products needed both at homt and In tho democracies across the At lanllc, The Department hopes t< bring ubout most of this expansion ii the so-called surplus-producing ureui which turn much of their milk intc condensed milk and cheese. The territory in South Carolitu specially affected by this particulai phase of tho defense effort, Mr. Cush man states, is In the area embruclnt the counties of Chester, York, Lancas ter, Fairfield. Union, Cherokee, nnc Spartanburg, where markets of inllb have been created by the cheese fac t'ory locntod at (Chester and tho con densary located at Statesvillc, N. C Farmers are asked to increase their dairy production by more Intensive feeding of cows during the summer and, in some case, by holding culled cows Instead of disposing of them this year. The specialist further points out that the government will support the dairy market for u period ending .tune HO, 1943, through purchaf}^} on the open market as protection to farm prices for milk during this expansion period. Further expansion in this area of the state can bo brought about by now producers, thus spreading tho influence of a new cash income throughout this areu and at the same time contributing to the Foodfor-Dofense effort. Food Is a vital weapon for defending democracy, government authorities assert, and dairy farmers have an excellent opportunity to strengthen the nation by turning feed supplies into food supplies. By dolug this, they will be .working hand in hand with poultry farmers, hog farmers, and vegetablo producers who are engaged in similar oxpanslon programs. B. T. U. Rally Will Be Held The B. T. U.

I ! Telephone 7 South Broad Street I I I Essex Troop Wins Final Polo Fracas ' The ttmh 1 curtalu ou the 1940-11 l>olo season was rung down Sunday ' oy,enlng Ht 7:06 o'clock following a ' twilight game In which Major Donald \ McGrath led his Ksaex riders to a ' 6 to 3 triumph over the Camden Blue# ' captained by Charlie (Hubber) l)uHose. 1 The tlnal game, started at 6:40 p. . in. was something out of the ordinary in local polo circles. So far as la ' known, it Is the only twilight game } ever played on the No. 1 field, or for { that matter, on any held In Camden t or In the south. , - While the new hour had bcuu broadcast through tho press and i radio hundreds of polo enthusiasts p came at the.nsuul hour of 3:30 and . while many of them remained for the 5 late game, the majority, not having . made arrangements to be away at tho I supper hour, were forced to forego E the joy of watching tho ponies and . riders In action for tlio last time tills . season. The closing chukker of the game was played In the gathorlng dusk, the i shadows of which mixing with tho clouds of dust from the dry playing arena hid the players In On murky i haze. It was almost Impossible to follow the flight of tho ball. , Major McGrath served notlco on 1 the Blues that the Troop was out to win by driving two goals botweeu the uprights In the first chukker to give the army a 2 to 0 loud at tho bell, '1 lie yellow clad riders from Fort Jackson were on the offensive practically the entire first three periods when they took a 5 to 1 lead over Camden. But lu the second half the Blues began 1 to hit their stride and outplayed tho ' army riders. However the nmrgln the Troop had rolled up was too great to be overcome and the best the ' Blues could do was a two score rally in the fourth. The season just closed as, according to tfie polo club management has 1 been the most outstanding in Camden polo history. Not only has the attendance during the season skyrocketed to a new high, but the playing was more finished and brilliant. This latter fact was the occasion for Irequent comment from men who can be described as polo experts. As to next season. Cyril Harrison, coach and manager, is to return in November and plans are already being made to open the season the latter part of that month. Considerable work must be done at the polo held. In the face of several near accidents, needed repairs will have to be made to the grandstand, especially the steps. Fences and auto rails will have to be repaired and replaced. The use of the public address system in the play by play description of the game proved popular with the spectators as It enabled them to follow the play and to become acquainted with the various players. Carl Lightfoot, scheduled to play with the Troop in the final game, was on the sidelines because of an injured foot, caused by a fall from a horse. It was the second mishap to befall the popular rider during the season. Charley Robertson took his place on the Essex team.
