[HOT Oil THE KEY* Jy THE SKIPPER. ' Greeted by a torrential downpour 1 of rain and a blistering humid aftermath. featured the return of yourprodigal from the far away reaches of Wisconsin and Illinois, whore for the past two weeks we had reveled i? weather that was about as perfect , a? oue could desire. Yes sir, for a fact every morning found the mercury around 25 and at the ball games we witnesseed, we found a coat was a mighty comfort?ble garment to have on hand. At the nigbi games, a sweater beneath the coat kept the chill off. * But the weather man got even with u8 We left Chicago in a veritable cloudburst and it rained all the way hack. Just imagine?traveling the mountain roads of Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina, with the rain coming down so heavy windshield wipers were useless. <.i * Npar Mt. Vernon, Kentucky; the storm washed out a culvert on U. S. 25 W and when a greyhound bus went down Into the hole, traffic was tied up for hours. You can imagine your Skipper cutting loose with a few choice cuss words about that time. ' * But we hail a fine vacation?outside of a wrecked car and we saw a iofof interesting things, for instance, scores of towns smaller than Camden with recreational areas featuring a swimming pool, wading pool, softball. tennis, hard ball and other sport layouts. Took some pictures of the swimming pool at Park Ridge, 111.; and hoping the sight of them will Influence some one to build a similar pool like it here In Camden. * One of the first persons I met after arriving home was Clarkson Rhame, who said he wanted me to help him out with the all-star football game. And we agreeing to do that In a generous manner. Recalling that we wrote John Villeplgue a week or so ago and suggested steps be taken to plan for this big charily' football classic. The game will probably bo played on August 15 and will be held as usual at Zemp stadium at 8 bells in the evening. So friends, when planning your future calendar of events, jot down that date as being one you cannot afford to miss. * From football to boxing?let me tell some of you folks who have been hiking so big about this colored lad, franklvn. who lives in Chicago. One or two local experts' spoke of Franklyn ;?* being 'the fighter to take thd crowu from Joe Louis. While I did not Franklvn battle in a recent bout >u Chicago, some of the sport writers who did, told ine he is a badly ov. i i .iti d pug. Some second-rater daw i him into submission. * * \Y;>h some one would suggest to the folks up at Hendersonville that their Milage would be more popular with motorists if the traffic was .speech up on the main drag. While we all know that the folks living in thai bailiwick have one foot in the sravt- ind the other on a banana peel and have to move slowly to avoid having a stroke, it sure is heck on the tourist, who seeks to go through the town. . I c By th?- way, has Jim Raley been ill* Sunday morning when we came downtown to get the daily newspaper, the down town streets and sidewalks were messy and dirty. Quite a contrast to the usual spic and span apPearame. # Som,- of the sudden thoughts that cani<* to me while piloting the Jallopy through the winding roads of tfce Cumberlands, Big Smokies and Blue Bidg.- mountains are lnterestnlg. For instance, looking over the figures I Hod women are wearing fewer clotheg; what with Bob Hope an<f Edgar Bergen entertaining the drafts*. it appears that all you have to do to get the best in entertainment la t? Join the army. ? v We had lunch la' ,one Kentucky cr .. _ town which advertiser* It la the only town In tho United States without a powder plant. I note by the press that to build aluminum plants, President Roose; velt says we need more dams. - We suggest that he hang around until the tax bills come in and he'll get the dams. * Well, it sure does seem that almost oyernlght the Red menace has become the white hope for democracies. We think we're some pumklns In polo down this way. But listenChicago, Milwaukee and some of the other towns up*that way are putting polo over in a big way. A national polo tournament was held last week at Stillwater, Minn; with teams from all over the nation. Chicago had a team that was really sensational but the players were business men who could not be away from their offices for less than half a day. Do you know what they did. Yes sir, for a fact, the team, riders attired in their polo outfits, took plaue from Chicago at 4 p. m. arrived in Stillwater at 7 p. m. and played at 8. After the game they returned the | same way and reached Chciago at 1 a. in. And we are glad to say they won. * By the way, we really* felt bad when we learned that our Junior Legion team succumbed and that the final series In the district found Rock Hill and Great Falls battling it out. Well, better luck next time bbyfc. ~ ~"'~ <* Up in Milwaukee feverish preparations are being made for the American Legion national convention 1u September. The convention committee is really going to town in putting out data regarding all the good things the Legionnaires may expect when in the Wisconsin metropolis. . One of the real appeals is that regarding food. For if there ever is a place where good food abounds on every hand, that place is Milwaukee. No Where can you discover such a variety of good food served with uniform excellence and in almost unbelievable abundance. Perhaps this is because Wisconsin people have kept alive the tradition of cookery of their native lands. When the Legion lads return. Xronr the convention they will be raving about sauerbraten, bratwirst, Muencher Kalbshaken, Apfel pfannkuchen, speckbraten, sauerkraut and the state's 72 different kinds of beer. Believe it or not, the aroma of Wisconsin pork sausage broiling over a grill at a picnic is nothing less than heavenly. If you haven't experienced planked whlteflsh, fresh from the nets of Lake Michigan fishermen, or a broiled lake trout, you sure have missed something. Serving fish along the' Michigan or Superior shores of Wisconsin is an art whether broiled in the finest kitchen or in a pot on the heach. The worst joke I heard on my trip was "Hitler may swallow up every country in Eurpoe but not the north of Ireland. Because if he did he knows he would get ulsters of the stomach." * And in conclusion for this week may I mention a sign in front of the Hunter street Lutheran Church at Logan, Ohio" which seems to carry a wish that is always general in the hearts of every good church goer these hot days. The sign reads as follows: ^ _ "Sunday sermons .short and snappy. Preacher hot and people happy." It is signed by Rev. Amos L. Heyde, pastor. * * * And when we inquired of a bystander nearby what a short and Bnappy sermon was, he said "Fifteen minutes".* Amen, amen, amen.' ?

No one realises the fine work Ben has done with the Scouts than the writer. In addition to this fine Job, Ben is a swell fellow and this department is going to miss his cheery hello very much. ? < . One of the most cherished greetings we have received In some time came by post Wednesday morning In the form of a card from Mrs. W. J. Mayfleld and mailed from far away Hawaii. "Mother Mayfleld", as we have become accustomed to referring to her, by reason of the great affection in which she is held by young and old for her countless acts of benevolence and philanthropy is really one of Camden's first citizens. First in affection, charity, and ^in being foremost in all efforts for good. Truly she has our sincere wishes for a fine vacation trip and the happiness of being with her son. .

Can Your Peaches For Home Use Crop reporters are predicting the biggest crop of peaches thia year since the record breaker of 1931. lly even the most conservative estimates. they say, there'll be plenty of peaches for all uses this summer. I'eaches come In white and yellow with olinK and free stones,v points dnt Miss Margaret Fewell, County Homo Demonstration agent. ."Usually It's personal preference and the way you intend to use the peaches that decides the kind to buy. "There's little difference In food value among peaches except In vita* mitt' A value. But yellow fleshed peaches outrank the white varieties on this score. The yellow-fleshed ones are rated as a good source of vttumin A. According to 'homo economists. in the United States department of agriculture, a medium-sired dish of yellow peaches will supply about one-third of the vitamin A an adult needs for a day. This vitamin, or course, Is needed by both grown-ups and children for good nutrition. "Except for the very early ones, clingstone peaches usually are not eaten fresh. They are, however, especially suitable for cooking for pickling, and for commercial canning. "Most home canners prefer midseason or Into yellow-fleshed peaches. Some of the well-known varieties of this class are Elberta, Salwey, Late Crawford and Smock. For those who prefer to can whlte-fleshed poaches, Belle, Hiley, and Champion aro throe varieties that fill the bill. "Peaches aro one of the easiest fruits of all to can at home," hays Miss Fewell. "And complete directions for canning them, with exact processing time for different altitudes may be found in Home Canning of Fruits. Vegetables, and Meats, Farmers' Bulletin 1762 of tho U. S.

Fall Gardens Urged For Farmers Now Is tHo time for all good farmers to set out full gardens and coino to tho aid of themselves and their country. B. l*. DeLoache, Supervisor of the Farm Security Administration for Kershaw County, said today. In this day of rising prices, the farmer has an opportunity as never before to prove his value to his country-?and it all comes down to to tho matter of planting fall gardens and living at homo, Mr. DeLoache said. "The low income farmers has In his hands the chance of helping his country not only in the world crisis hut also In a dangerous situation at home," the FSA supervisor pointed out. "Prices are rising. The country Is alarmed by the danger of inflation. And the farmer adds to this danger every time he spends money to buy things he should produce for himself. "Prom July 1, 1940 to July 1. 1941, tho price of fat back meat wont, from 9 to 16 cents, bacon from 20 to SO cents, eggH from 19 to 33 conts, lard from 7 to 11 cents, butter from 28 to 38 cents. The farmer should produce these things and other foodstuffs for himself, and evory time he does?not do so, but goes Into the market to buy them, he penalizes himself and his family and addH to the demand which in tho end will force the prices h 1 i 11 higher. "Living at home on tho part of every person who can do ho becomes today therefore a matter of national obligation. It mftkoH available more foodstuffs for national defense and defense of the democratic countries. And it is also a boost for the general welfare, by helping stop the rising spiral of prices that hold so groat a danger to everybody. "Practically everything that the farmer has asked has been done. Ho is to get parity prices for cotton, which means 15 to 16 cents. Farm Security families have obtained loans to buy livestock and chickens, to feed themselves, to sell and to add to the defense requlremetns. The farmer is helped to pay for Improving his soil. "And now the gate is open tor him to help himself and at the same time to help his country In return for all these benefits. Now is the time for him to prove his owu resourcefulness and courage, to prove that living at home can be done and to laugh at high priceH." The time has come, Mr. DeLoache said, to set out fall gardens, rain and weather having come to the farmer's aid in this repsoct. "If FSA families, and other farmers as well, take advantage -of all thene opportunities, "he said, "we shall see In this State and the South a degree of security on the farm that was never reached before." 10 rdiwe rw T i\n Misery of \j \j JLf 666 ?
