CAMDEN MADE GOOD
Prior to and during tlx* months tho
army maneuvers were In progress In
the Curollnas there was conHldorahlo
discussion as to t ho economic benefits
thai would accrue to the area and contiguous
communities.
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*.-?

| THE BANKS WORK OVERTIME
In ihU national emergency, the
number ami the ei^-ut of tho pro|
bleiu* that banking must face, are ul-j
i m?at limitless.
t I
! 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

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".
