HOT Oil THE KYI
^THE SKIPPER.

| \\v it-It ashamed last Tuesday at
I (he pitii'ully small number of citizens
prescnt at ilie armistice program iu
I liaiiip""1 Square. It was quite tho
I must impressive we have ever witI
neasi'tl and all Camden siiould have
I ^en on hand to witness it.
*
i Armistico day 1941 had more sig
Blliraate than those of many years
I back. It should have been a holiday
I affair lu re, tho same as it was in
I oiaity other communities. All stores
I and offices should have closed and
I the employers and tho employees of
I each and every place of business
I should have been present at the ter|
einony.
I ?
I When we heard business was busI
peuded for armistice programs in
I practically every community in the
I war maneuver area, we felt chagrined
I and ashamed at our own Camden.
j
I Speaking of war maneuvers, solI
diers and the like, we want to pass a
I big hunch of orchids to P. N. McI
Corkle and his local recreational deI
fense group. Since htzzoner took
I over the direction of the soldier proI
gram, affairs have proceeded without
I confusion or hysterics. Convoys are
I met and the men taken care of withI
out delay or confusion. Thank the
mayor. Dewey Creed and Don Morrison
for this. Entertainment features
work with the precision of a
Swiss watch. Thank Mrs. I)ess
Goodale, Mrs. Trlxle Schlosburg and J
Mrs. Gaskin for that. Accommodations
and information are provided
by the information booth presided
over by Mrs. James Porter?and it's
a nice job she is doing.

A story In this week's issue of the
l Ctaro&tcle tells of the flue progress
made at Grace Episcopal church the
past year. Which is a nice pat on the
back for the minister.
*
Tills year's every member canvass
of the Grace church parish will he in
charge of Henry G. Garrison and Mrs.
John Villeplgue?which means success.
* ?
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to
the family of Mrs. Emma Cantey
Villeplgue, whose recent death came
as a shock to a sorrowing community.
Heffrllfe was a book <^myr could read
and profit by. It was inspirational.
*
Hotcha!! Up in my old home town
in Wisconsin a boy is registered in
the home economics class in the high
school. Apparently ho is fortifying
himself against the possibility of
marrying a bridge-playing wife who
can't find time to both cook and play
cards? Such unions do happen, on
occasions, but~not often.
A newspaper Triend of mine whose
work obliges him to listen to many
radio news and entertainment programs
complains of what he terms
"bad radio manners"? He refers to
commercial ballyhoo between programs.
He says he cannot understand
why there should be so much
boisterous shoutings and such fierce
insistence and repetition to make
people buy their wares.
* ? *
How true, my friend, how true. And
the ^rac?K-e has grown worse Jately |
uuntil it is the main blemish on a
combined sales and entertainment
service, which is, In the main a useful
public business. It does seem
strange, because the whole tendency
of business procedure in other forms
is toward quietness and courtesy.
Surely the business interests of whom
the announcers speak can not profit
hy having their wares Wared in private
hoiuea in the manner of the
old fushtoned torchlight vendors of
anako oil.
? * *
Hello patrolts? were you among the
many awakened hy .the clatter of gun
fire lust Sunday morning before daybreak
when a gutig of Hods or tflues
(take your choice) in passing through
this fair hailwick indulged in a little
battle practice. There was machine
gun and rifle fire but the deep sharp
blasts that seemed to rock the beds
iu homes wus due to the uncanny
ability of the drivers of tanks to cause
the motors to backfire.
f f #
Anyway it was fun while it lasted,
even if our slumbers were disturbed
and we got up, dressed and heuded
for the trenches.
If any of the Camden fans would
like to see the motion pictures taken
at the recent Bear-Packer game in
Chicago in which the big husky Bear
machine was humbled 16 to 14 in a
game that was described as being a
wild and wooly affair, we can secure
the film, providing Brother Leo Little,
theatrical magnate, is agreeable.
What say Lee7
*
My Gosh! With the NorthwesternNotre
Dame game on the air, also
other big time games going out on
the ther Saturday, the two Columbia
Radio stations had to both pick on
the Carolina-Furman game to broadcast.
Wouldn't you thing that the
program managers of these radio stations
would get together and toss up
a coin to see which one would broadcast
a game of national interest?
m m m m
That gang of huskies from Saluda
really powerhoused the Olympla
Highs of Columbia at Melton field last
Friday. The dope favored the
Olmpias to win by a neat margin but
they never had a look-in.
Prior to the game this corner had a
leeter from Coach Simpson of the
Olmpia tam, who said that if his team
won he would like to play Camden
here in Camden.
For the benefit of our readers,
Olypmia is a Class B team while
Camden has an A rating. While we
do not care to appear to be casting
any disparagaging remarks anent the
Olympia team, we believe that a
game between Camden and some unbeaten
A class team would draw a lot
more spectators?that is?providing
Camden's slate is clean. (This is being
written before the Charleston).
m m m *
However, all this chatter about a
post-season battle is just so much
space filler. Wcf do not know
whether Coach Johnny would entertain
the idea of a post-season game.
Certainly not if the Bulldogs are
bumped-off by Charleston or CJaffney.
* *
Well, anyhow when you folks read
this, the Charleston and Gaffney
games will be history and we'll all be
turning our thoughts to what we are
going to give as Christmas gifts.
* m m m
Not listing Thursday home-coming
game with Gaffney the Bulldogs have
gathered 188 points in nine games as
against 26 points scored by opposing
teams in the same number of engagements.
Of the nine games played
the Bulldogs smeared the whitewash
six times. Parker High of Charlotte!
scored against the Camden rercrves j
while Harttjville was the second team '
to score. Then Charleston came
along and added 14 more.
We are glad to note by the Charleston
Press that the sport writers were
frank In their conception as to the
relative merits of the Bulldogs and
! Bantams.
?
From the story in the News and
Courier it was very evident that only
th? horn closing the game prevented
Camden from scoring. Too* bad we !
did not have Dad Anc oBykin on
the Job as timer. We have worked I
with Dad for years now at polo games
and that chap sure knows when to
r+fig the bell.
Well, her? goes for a high dive.
We're actually going to try and pick
the winners of tomorrows guinea.
That is, u few of them at least. For
instance we name (Mcinson over Furman.
Citadel over Davidson. Duke
over N. C. State. Mlamia over South
Carolina. Alahania over Vaudorbtlt,
Tennessee over Kentucky. Army over
West Virgo la., N'orthw ostein over
Illinois and Minneaota over Wtscousin.
Notre Dame over Southern California.

.The heat of them lose. That fact,
was born out when Stanford took a]
sweet licking last Saturday and is I
probably out of the Rose How l picture. I
liven that Texas gang went into |
ecllspse. Right now the Gophers of
Minnesota and the lads from Notre
Dame look the best in the nation.
Minnesota cannot accept a bowl bid.
nor can Notre Dame, so it looks as
if some second-rate outfits will quarrel
oh New Year's day.

That polo game Sunday saw K;iby|
Tupper snatch scoring honors with
four markers, it was a good game despite
the 9 to -1 score. A big crowd
of British. Canadian. Chinese ami.
Turkish army officers were on side-1
lines to watch the.play. Also United
States army officers, including gener-'
als and what-nots. j
Louis And Baer
Will Meet Jan. 9
New York, Nov. 13?Heavyweight
Chumpiou Joe Louis has been paid
princely sums for fighting, but his
wage scale is skidding to the vanishing
point.
Within a few weeks ho will be
inducted into the Army to fight, if
necessary, for $21 a month and now
he lias agreed to fight for Hie Navy
for nothing.
A 15-round title bout between tho
champion and Buddy Baer, the big Californlan
he beat in six rounds last
spring, was announced last night for
January 9, in Madison Square Garden.
The profits will go to the New York
auxiliary of the Navy relief society
and IjOuIb will receive nothing more |
than his expenses for staktng his
heavy weight'crown, the most valuable
bauble In sports.
Rear Admiral Adolphus Andrews,
commandant of tho Third Naval District
and commander of the north
Atlantic Naval coastal frontier, announced
the match, which was arranged
for him by Promoter Mike
Jacobs.
Aside from hte fact that Louis will
be donating his services, the financial
arrangements for the champion's
20th defense of his title was not disclosed.
But Ancil Hoffmun, Baer'a manager,
said in Sacramento, Calif., that Buddy
wouLd receive hte customary challenger's
percentage after taxes and a
10 per cent cut for the Navy hud been
taken off the top. In the past Louis'
challengers have received from 12 1-2
to 20 per cent.
'APPOINTMENT FOR LOVE' WINSj
IMMEDIATE AUDIENCE APPROVAL
That pair of lnfallibles, romance
and comedy, streamline across (he
Halglar theater screen with the opening
of "Appointment for Love", a nay
and moving modern comedy-drama
which accumulates keen added Interest
through co-starring the talented
and eye-arresting Charles Boyer and
Margaret Sulla van.
The Universal film makes an unqualified
bid for complete approval of
the family as well as the adult trade.
It will surprise In that, whereas Boyer
and Miss Sullavan have been largely
occupied with heart-throb . drama of
late, they here turn their talents delightfully
to comedy-drama almost
pure farce at times.
Development and backgrounds of
"Appointment for Love" are thoroughly
modern, the play's theme taklnp a
firm grip on the problem presented
when husband and wife are confronted
with the burning question of
... _ : : :?:? :?t . . .. ,l* - ?
whether career their separate ciirccrs,
moif accurately shall i'oiihi
before or after their domestic lite and
affairs. Naturally this presents a perfect
sotting for complications and misunderstandings
which. under tho
astute production guidance of Hruco
Manning, the able direction of Wllllanf
A. Seite.r, and the skilled characterizations
of a dozen stellar performers,
reaches unusual heights of dramatic;
fun-makingProminent
among the talent galaxy
arrayed with the stars are Kita Johnson,
portraying a clever Broadway
actress with a romantic yen for Boyer;
Eugene Pallette, as* Boyer's confidant
and paly-producer; liuth Terry,
'as an uninhibited modern playgtrl and
Reginald Denny, in the role of a glib
adventurer intent upon breaking up
the marriage. All give polished performances.
