PLEA8E MR. 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.

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.
