Now that maneuvers havo heon completed. Canulon, an well an other cltiea and towns in tho area, has hot>n taking slock ami naturally much strews has boon placed upon iho amount of monoy tho officers and men of the army expended in Iho area. There In also marked emphanln placed upon tho advertising value thnt has accrued from (lie nation-wide publicity that wits front page news during tho uumeuvors. This, according to tho publicity bureau at the Chamber of Commerce, hits been of unestlmahlo value. Probably tho greatest of all benefits derived by tho friendship developed between the people of tho UpwPao,* oj>i\ j,b? .soldiers from rubor <1 parts of the nation, particularly the North. A new and favorable conception of the hospitality of the people of the Carolines, carried away by these soldiers, should prove of the greatost value for many years to come. It Is well known that many thousands of men, particularly from the North, canto Into the Carolines with the feeling they would meet with an unfriendly reception. The renult was exactly opposite; the soldiers from the North were extended evony courtesy and hospitality and found a welcome its cordial as If they were in their own home communities. From remarks nyplc by many of the Northern boys, there Is no question but that a few of them have visions of returning to the Carolines to make their homes when the present war emergency Is over. Camden people should experience genuine satisfaction over the many fine results growing out of the visit of the soldiers to this area. They can table welcome that was given these lake pride In tho friendly and hosplsoldiers. This friendly attitude by Camden should bear rich dividend*.-?

I tx?n the hanks fall tho Job of llnancttig a iwtge part of defense activity?* AUtl at the same time keeping ordinary hu?inox? going on as nearly norma1 a basis as possible. The banks have. luH-n the primary sellers and promoters of Defense Honda and Stamps a work incidentally, which returns 'absolutely no profit to thorn, and ro,duces their individual deposits. Tho banks must accurately advise individuals and businesses who uro confused by the swift changes that tuko place when a great nation switches front a peace-time to a wartime basis of doling business. The banks must help enforce the new installment loan rest r let Urns. And the banks play a major part, In cooperation with the Treasury, in the Immensely complicated matter of freezing foreign credits. This Is but part of the Job. No Industry Is more Important to the successful progress of the nation than banking. And banking Iuih been doing Its work superbly well. There lias been no delay in providing "money for any necessary activity. The highest government ofliclals have praised the banks for their cooperation. That Is one reason why there have been no ?> important tlnaiicial bottlenecks in the way of dofetiie. So, again, private hanking proves Its worth and Its efficiency. It did much to build this nation. It is doing much to protect It now. HEALTH OF AMERICAN YOUTH The percentage of army selectees rejected for physical reasons has been the cause of considerable alarm in seme circles. Commentators have It _ ...use". <Mtr WQL *.<t . prevailing In World War I and have drawn the conclusion that the health of American youth has gone downhill during the intervening twenty-odd yea rs. Here fs a case where statistical comparisons alone provide a false picture of actual conditions. For the draft of World War I and the Selective Service Act of I ft41 were based on very different principles. In 1917, when the draft law was passed, we were at war. The Allies, faced with defeat, were pleading for men. We were faced with the necessity of building a gigantic conscript army in a very brief period of time. Only men who were obviously unfit were rejected. Almost any man who could do work of any kind was accepted and given u uniform. Compare that with the present day. We were not at war when the Selective Service Act was passed, and wo are not formally at war now. The Army had an abundance of time to build Its forces. Army policy, as reflected in the Act. has been to create Ian army which, from the physical I standpoint, will he finer than anything Renews Pleas For | Home Listings Cu in don residents who have cot- i tuges, houses or apartments for runt j are requested to notify the Chamber of Commrece Immediately. While the Chamber expects there j will be vacancies by reason of the removal from Camden of families con-1 nected with the maneuvers the listing wtH he small. However, In the fnc<5 of j the anticipated demand for accomoda-' tions during the winter seast>frrTh"! Chamber hopes to havo a few places j to off.or. The Chamber would also appreciate I a report on rooms to be available. GOOD LIVE8TOCK CARE 18 NEEDED IN WINTER I Winter calls for good care of livestock, sayH County Agent, W. C. McCarley, making these suggestions for December: Animal Husbandry?Craze hogs on j winter forage? barley, oats, or rye. I See that the beef breeding herd has enough cheap roughages and cotton- j Heed meal to prevent Iohh of weight. | (Jive sheep one-half pound of grain daily and all the hay they will cat. See that all classes of livestock have shelter and bedding and proVldo extra bedding during cold snaps. Repair fences during spare time. Kill hogs for borne use. Dairying?Protect dairy cattle from rains. Feed good quality roughages, preferably silage and legume hay, to tho limit of milking cow's appetite. Feed grain In proportion to milk produced by each cow. Do a good job of milking fast, complete, and at regular intervals. Oltfe dairy cuttle access to pure fresh drinking ?Nw<ir.. <* '-.acve <'<?i ?/* ' { internal parasites. Produce quality dairy products. Keep rest barns well bedded for a big supply of manure. Poultry?Make the poultry house free from drafts. Kxamlno the laying flock for lice and mites, as an infestation of either will lower egg production. Feed grain liberally to keep layers in good flesh. (Jet brooding equipment In order. Fight Cattle Lice Practically 100 percent success in controlling cattle lice with powder is reported by cattlemen who have tried . this method, says County Agent W. C. McCarley. It is much quicker, less expensive, and easier on both the operator and the animals than dipping or other methods. Most cattle are affected with lice tiiis time of year and in some herds tlie infestation is so heavy as to cause young animals to become unthrifty and lose weight, the agent explains. Frequently several kinds of lice are present, some so small as to be very difficult to see without the aid of a glass. Treatment consists of dusting the powder along the top of the head, the neck, and back to the tail. A second application should be made 14 days later to kill those which hatch after the first treatment. A pound ot powder properly applied will treat 12 to 20 head two applications. Inlurma- , i I ion on powder of good quality and I It Ik H killing power can be had from lie* county agent's office. ' menial < apacities of men trained for mechanized, highly-involved modern .warfare must be far higher than 'were needed for the mass land warfare of World War I. In short, this time the Army lias taken only ilie j cream of the crop, where before it took all the crop. There is still another important factor involved. Diagnostic technique and facilities have been immensely improved since World War I?thanks , to the medical profession. The doctor of today discovers phvscial defects I that the doctor of DMT could never' hud lb.it m its.df accounts for aj considerable percentage of the f.'J.'C- j . tions. I The tSpth is that Ameruan youth j was never healthier. And Atnetnan! doctors ran be given credit for this condition. The fact that only the tinexl spot inietis are now taken for army service is a reason for eonfl. i|. nee in the Army, not alarm.

Basketball Program Is Progressing Well Plans for the Camdeu trade district basketball tournament to be held here in January and to be sponsored by the Camden Kiwanis club are well under way with twelve teams entered. To date no response has come from the Camden high school basketball teams, but It is assumed that upon the return of Coach Lindsay Pierce, a favorable reply will be forthcoming. So far schools which have entered teams in the tournament are Bethune, Blaney, Midway. Antioch, Central and Baron DeKalb. Cyril Busbee. president of the Kiwanis club, is hopeful that Camden and Hillcrest will enter teams which would give an even bracket of eight teams in both the hoys and girls divisions. President Busbee believes that from the interest shown to date, the tournament is going to he a big success, not only from the sports end. but u!so tinaneially. It will cement a fine spirit of friendship between the various districts in the trade area, particularly as it pertains to Camden. The Kiwanis sport program has att raeted much attention in the state and other communities are discussing the adoption of a similar program. Sport writers have declared it to be an "outstanding step toward closer association of communities".
