HOT Off THE KEYS JtyVK. SKIPPER. [ Well, now that the football season I, over and tho "In the Huddle" eolH uiuti must be tossed into the ash can, we at'' going to have to think of some Bother caption to take care of eques ,, basketball and other wiuter I * Afi : i period of elation over the manner in* which the Camden football B tg]ent routed a wrocking crew from I Caffnev. we are going to settle down B ,h|3 tine Saturday afternoon and try B sod di*h tip some dopo on tho serious B tide of life. You'll pardon us if we B get a bit facetious at times. m m m For instance, wo noted in the headB lines the past week some Interesting I items. A Durango, Colo; movie house I manager packed his theater by giving B each male person a free kiss from his I favorite usherette. An Ohio church I committee slips a dollar into one B hymnal each Sunday to stimulate atI tendanc e. A Nashville preacher does a roaring marriage business by re cording the ceremonies free of charge B and presenting each couple with a souvenir disc. I # ? B Gosh all hemlock?what do you I think would happen If a tavern offerI ed a kiss from Its waitresses to its cus tomers. The chances are some re lormers would cheerfully recommend | the proprietor bo drawn und quartered. What would happen If a dollar hill were (dipped into a couple of sandwiches each day to stimulate food trade. Some one would probably file charges of every count from mayhem to counterfeiting. f ? ? The women's bowling champion up in Wisconsin got a divorce because her husband's activities made her nervous and impaired her bowling skill. We'll bet the husband got tired of hearing the old lady boast.? ? # There is an old saying that the only certain things in lifo are death and taxes. The only difference these days is that death isn't 15 per cent tougher each y.ear. ? u ? California and Florida take notice please. A recent compilation of health statistics shows that Connecticut is the healthiest state in the Union. Rhode Island is second and Wisconsin third. * Now to be real serious. When one man in a national emergency rises to defy the legal authority of the United StateB government it is something for all us Americans to think about. John L. Lewis lias defied the national defense board. Thereby he has precipitated a climax In the effort of the President to develop American production without Interference by labor leaders on questions of Jurisdiction or personnel. The suggestion thut fed. oral troops may be brought Into the situation and perhaps the mines soiled recalls the short work which the late President Theodore ltoosevelt made of a similar situation when John Mitchell was the mine worker's president. Perhaps we shall tlnd whether I'nclo Sam Is still the boss of his own household. And It ib very possible thnt John f, TpwIr wttrttnrt Thrtt TTu* kid gloves of Franklin 1). ltoosevelt really conceal a mailed fist. # ? ? That church organization down at Toledo, Ohio, that burned Moin Kumpf Hltoler's book, may have done so as symbolical evidence of their determination of Naillsm, but there never must, grow up an ambiguous the idea that this is a book-burning country. Burning books is a Hitler method Inspired by the same feeling that closes protesting mouths. Camden got ft big dose of the maneuvers over the week end with thousands of soldiers pouring into the city from the several camps" Of the "Red army located adjacent to the city. Saturday night the Invasion started and it grew to huge proportions that night and to even greater on Sunday. ? # For the first time in history Sunday became as any other day of the week, with stores forced to open Sunday afternoon and evening to cater to wants of tho Invaders. Some of the grocery stores, dime stores, and the like report a rushing business and this was truo of drug stores, and tho like. Hong lines of soldiers awaited a chance to get into the theaters. All centers were Jammed, games, and the like being In evidence in church hall, and the like. Trucks of the army lined the curb an all streets, even in the residential sections. There were few parking places for civilian autos. Traffic moved with funeral slowness and in some Instances to a snail's pace as traffic officers and military police made every effort to avert a complete block-1 ing of movement. Sidew'alks became milling masses of khaki clad visitors. The polo game in the afternoon attracted a big crowd. It was our good fortune to contact a group of soldiers from our old home town in Wisconsin and did they enjoy the polo game? They did. m m m 9 These Badger state lads were the sons of the world war boys of 1917, all old and true friends of this writer. We lot a big kick out of entertainnig the young men. t ? ? We know now how a sardine must feel when he Is packed in a can. The Rutledge street armory was just that jammed Saturday night. 9 m m m Camden hospitality was not found wanting. All emergencies were met. And in this connection we want to quote from a letter received Sunday from Major Samuel It. Turner. 29th Infantry division, who wrote from Fort Bragg as follows: "On behalf of the officers and enlisted men of the 29th Infantry Division may I express our appreciation for the wonderful treatment accorded our soldiers during the week-end spent in your community. Speaking for our soldiers I can truthfully say that the hospitality extended to them by the citizens of Camden has been a revelation, and is an experience the men will long remember. Please extend our thanks to the members of the committee who so earnestly and untiringly volunteered to perform the enormous task of affording adequate and wholesome recreation for our officers and men." MATHER BAFFLES KINGSTREE, 37-0 Mather's Eagles crushed the Tomilson eleven on English Field, November 21, 37-0.. With a fiery spirit by the sensational quarterbacking of Rodolph, who passed and smashed to the first marker. the Eagles began -their second string of victories. Again, charging vigorously, the Eagles quelled a potential Kingstree drive, 8-0. " In the last half, with consistent drives that baffled their opponents on every play, the Mather team scored at will. The rampaging midget quarterback kept on the move, and the game ended with the Eagle "blizters" deep in the opponent's territory. All Hall; the Minnesota Gophers who reign aa America's greatest foot, ball team. The Gophers smacked clown a courageous Wlacoualn team last Saturday to ring up ft 46 to 6 win. It was the 17th atralght for the Minnesota eleven. Notre Dame alao finished with a clear record, bumping off Southorn Cal 20 to 18 In a ding (long battle. ? Michigan and Ohio State tied for second place honors in the Big Nine by playing torn 20 to 20 tie. All of which points to tho fact that the bowl guinea do not represent thu elite of football prowess. Minnesota does not play any post-season games, nor does Michigan, Ohio State, Notre Dame and a few others. V * By the way. our own Bulldog llnq coach is one of the coaching staff for tho north-south Palmetto state fracas December 12th in Columbia. Lindsay Pierce is the name folks. m + We really hoped the Bulldogs would schedule a post-season game, but Johnny knows best and we are content to rest on our laurels. But for that unfortunate Charleston game in which the best team lost, Camden, would have had an unblemished record and undisputed leadership in the state title claims. As it Is. we have to divide it with Charleston and several others. We hear a lot about au unbeaten1 Newberry High team. Shucks folks, that team had an ice cream schedule. 9 t 9 Shu nuff! Tho South Carolina Gamecocks took a 7 to 6 beating from Miami university last Friday but that ain't nothing to what is going to hap pon tomorrow when the Enright laddies face the Penn State Lions.

No Shortage in Stamina THE needs of the defense program decide how many Buicks we can 1 uild for you in 1942. But there js no limit on how well we may build with the materials at our command. So we invite you to look .upon this car not as you would any ordinary new model, but as an unusual vehicle built to square with unusual times. Check into the strength we have forged and hammered and wrought into the frame, the chassis, the drive. Look into the everlasting comfort which is provided in soft, all-coil springs. Dig into the engine, and see how resourceful engineering has stepped up the efficiency of valve-in-head design with Domite pistons and FIREBALL compression ? how it also enables you to conserve fuel while actually getting more power through Buick's exclusive Compound Carburetion.j You may have little interest normally in things like connecting rods and main hearings and wheel rims. Hut it is of utmost importance now that Buick knew how to strengthen rods for heavier duties without increasing weight ? that Buick found a way to oil-finish crankshaft journuls so as to double bearing life under equal loads. Little of this special ruggedness shows iq the suave outward look of this trim and steady-rolling Buick?-the beauty you see there is merely the garnish ori the solid substance beneath. But examine such structural details and we believe you'll quickly discover one fact: While there may be a shortage of cars and of materials from which to make them, there's no shortage in stamina in the car9 Buick builds. And what is more important in |^^any car these days? m BUICK BUILDS ffl " FOR DEFENSE Our a*alf(nnwntt flu Utllriff Prrtii & ff'hitnry txiitf-in-Pwoii aircraft en# In cm fur ilcjvn**' use. >f Available at flight extni co4t on Bukk Special' mode la, standard on all other Series. fc CAMDEN MOTOR COMPANY 1119 Broad-8tr??t ?
