_JM?fESC M. hi ? i. , HOTOHTHEREtt U^THE SKIPPER. Our hat is off to Rock Hill. Editor Huckle of tho Rock H1U Herald in particular. Hit. Idea ofr making a snappy drive for lied Cross funds ear-marked him as a genius. Rpck Hill was given a quota of $7,000 by tljo Red Cross. So Editor Hucklo had an Idea. It was a 7-7-7 combination and with tho aid of the mayor of Rock Hill, the Junior league members it went over with a wallop. The idea was this. Editor Huckle did not want to have a long-drawn out fund-raising campaign. He wanted a short snappy one and he got It. With the stage all set, the drive was on. There were no home calls, calls at offices. shops, and the like. The Junior League members got on the phones. The drive lasted seven hours. It was held on January 7. The other "7" which ear-marked the $7,000 quota was more than attained. In fact, the fund went to $10,000 In the spven hours. ? That folks, is my Idea of cooperation in a big way. We nqted a very pithy, Interesting editorial in the Charlotte Observer. This pithy comment mentions the fact that one of the effects of tire ratiom ing will be a chance for Americans to catch up with their sleep. w m m m "It's all very well to talk about the delights of walking but few people will take a ten-mile stroll to a whopee joint and then have to walk back" says the editorial. "There is going to be less gadding about, practically none, when the tires now on cars ore finished. | m m m "One of our foremost habits?racing nowhere to do nothing?may be *cured. Bidljust as many will have to learn to walk again, others must begin to learn to sleep." mmmm' Over in Columbia the other day we ran across Miss K&thryn Kennedy who gave us a merry hail as we rambled down the main drag. Kuthryn is one of Camden's finest gjfls and It is always a Joy and,pleasure to chat with her. * Have been heading a lot of talk regarding the proposed daylight saving plan of the federal government which may go into effect in a short time. Observing that as the time now prevails we get up and have breakfast when the street lights are going and It is dark as hades out" of roods. * * Having an official for the state defense board mention that this time the daylight saving effort is not to effect conservation of electricity hut the main purpose appears to be to permit of workers getting home before dark?and thus avoid the possibility of being caught out when a blackout takes place. * Anyhow, there is a lot of cussing and howling over the idea. Folks It aint going to do a darned bit of good to yelp about the matter. If Uncle Sam sez it had to be, well, just make up your mind that it will bet ? Did you know that under the tire rationing regulations the authorities, such as the county attorney and sheriff are obliged to aid in the program now in effect to the extent of taking steps to arrest and prosecute any cases of "chiseling". So far, there has been a fine compliance with the regulations and it is hoped that these conditions will continue that wpy. * * By the way?this is interesting?if you want to get some idea of what thermite bombs are like, just toss the discarded fir ,tree, used^at Christmas, Into the living room fireplace. Pine apd cedar trees will not offer you the almost explosive. effect that a fir or spruce will do. * * The Russians ca'ptured a carload of iron crosses marked "For presentation after the capture of Moscow". Maybe the Nazis would like to mark the whole Russian campaign "Opened By Mistake".

Wo said Buddy wouldn't last two rounds. He didn't?he failed to survive one round. We based our prediction pn what happened when the Brown Bomber met Max Schmolllng the second ttmo. Fight fans will recall that in the first meeting between Joe and Buddy, ^lud^ dy came near to fame by poling Joe out the ring in the first round. Joe got out of the mesa and came back to knock Buddy for a loop In the Bixth. We had a hunch that Joe would bo set for the kill In the first or second round of the bout last Friday night. 1 Joe donated his share of the purse, amounting to $75,000 to the marine relief group. The Camden Bulldog football team has named Dicky Cox a swell kid apd fine player as captain of the 1942 football squad. The election was made at the annual turkey dinner given to the grid warriors at the Camden hotel last Friday evening. This corner, because of a previous engagement, could not make the banquet, a fact which we regret sincerely. ,We did want to jolq the ranks of & group of orators and aid in extolling our admiration and affection for the boys of 1941. T^e 1941 Bulldogs deserved every fine word that was uttered by Joe McKaln, Dick Richards and John Villepigue. It was one fine team and we want to go on record as saying Dicky Cox will lead another fine gang pn to the grid paths of glory next {all. S Speaking of football, seems to us that this Is a good opporunity to check over the 1942 college football ruliT book and see what next season holds forth In that particular. m ? t i The 1942 college football rulebook remains almost exactly as It was last season, but the governing rules committee clarified a few points and wrote two stern frowns into the text on a couple of practices. One raised eyebrow was directed at officials taking the easy way out in calling both teams off-side and, while the crowd yawned, making them replay the maneuver. ? Advisory coaches sitting in at 'the rules meeting said it is apparent that one or the other eleven is offside and there is a rule that says when one player draws another offside, number one's team should get five yards? backward. The hideout, or sleeper play, where it is screened by substitutions, was also frowned upon and a 15-yard penalty attached for future reference. This type of play comes when a coach sends in, say five players. In the confusion, six players start off the field? only one stops at the sideline and takes refuge in the cluster of chainhandlers, the headllnesman and possibly eighty * O The sleeper play with the wide flanker is pll right?but not under this kind of wrap. ? Gone, too, under the 1942 supplemented rules, is the reVersed-center, which gained prominence last season on Ossio Solem's Syracuse team It was described as the "Y-formation." The new rule clarifications says th^t a player, to be legally on ?the line of scrimmage, must face his opponents end line, and must be behind the bail. i Another supplemental note provides Beware G>ughs ^~ from common com. . ? That Hang On Lieutenant Horton Dies in Plane Crash Kershaw, Jan. 12?Word was received by his parents here today of the death In au airplane accident at Tallahassee, Fla., of Second Lleutehnnt Henry Thomas Horton. 20. of Kershaw. Lieutenant Horton graduated from Oglethorpe university In the class Of 18XH. Ho wiik ix. popular mem. ber of the Jefferson high school faculty for two or three years. He enlisted in the air corps in April 1941, and was commissioned a second lieutenant, December 12, 1941. He Is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ki L.

Camden Gets Even Break In Games r The Camden" high school cagors scored their first win last Tuesday night, trouncing a hard-lighting DoKalb high school group 20 to 14 In a game that packed plenty of good playing. The Camden group, featuring Tindal and Boykln at forward position; Marshall at center and Price and Sheheen at guard, worked harmoniously. The DeKalb boys played hard and with a few more games under their bolts will be able to give a good account of themselves In the Klwanis tournament the latter part of the month. The Camden girls team did not fare as well as the boys, taking a 33 to IS beating at the handh of the DeKalb lassies. The first quarter was a verftable rout as the Busbee maidens piled up a 10 to 0 score. . At the half the score was 14 to 4. In the second half Coach Nelson of the Camden squad got her gang functioning better and they scored 9 points. But the DeKalb wrecking crew were hot and they piled up 19 points. . ^ that in the last two minutes of a half a referee may start or stop the clock if, in his opinion, one team or the other is intentionally trying to delay a game by sending la substitutes. 9 9 9 It also more sharply defined the last two-minute sub rule to prescribe that when the referee has finally find defnltely put the ball into place ready TOr play, no sub can be sent In without bringing a five-yard penalty alone with him. 9 9 9 9 Despite the extreme *eold' last Sunday the polo program was hot. It was p game in which the Issue was In doubt right up to the last second. And again* it was Smiling Charley who tucked the willow into pay dirt in a heart-breaking finish. L : age One of the polo riders who is showing rapid improvement is that fine chap Whit Boykto. It was Whit who broke the ice for the first score last Sunday. ' 9 Good old Abe Fennell, with Mrs. Fennell, ahd the latest arrival in the Fennell family, were at the polo game last Sunday. Abe has been on vacation for several weeks and had one swell time. Toofc in a lot of fine basketball up In the midwest and then went to the Rose bowl game. Bill Harlow, the publicity hound ur at PInehurst, was at the polo field al so. According to Bill, the polo season is somewhat of a flop up at Pinehurst and Southern Pines. Not enough players to make two teams. I sometime think that Camden people In gdneral fall to gjve our pole club_the support It is entitled to. Wc are getting the best polo program Ii the nation right now and Camdet should support it. The boys play foi the fun of the aporl?-they do not get ? red cent. The small amount taken ii at the gate goes to charity and flolt maintenance. I'd like sonieond to tell me when one can find greater pleasuro and on joyment than at the polo field on i sunny afternoon watching the ponici and riders In action on the green turf * When you read in the paper abott the sub-zero weather up north yot can thank the good Lord you are dowi here in sunny Camden. rrV-.-; .1 ' * The pare white curly-haired* coa of the unborn seal Ik one of th< world's most valuable furs.

"Honolulu Lu," with Miss Velez in the title role, is a devastation of explosions of mirthful dialogue and situations, offering her ample oppor tunity to reveal her versatile abilities . and, further, to do a hula-hula with a Spanish accent! A comedy-wise supporting cast, which includes Leo Carrlllo, Bruce Bennett, Roger Clark and Marjorte Oateson, assist the torrid Latin tornado, who plays something of a dual role in the new film. Miss Velez, in the title role of the new Columbia film, swings a wicked skirt, a wicked song, a wicked fist. She is, In other words, slightly terrific! ?As her uncle, Leo Carrlllo oontrlb utes another of his charmingly vilanous performances; Bruce Bennett 2s thoroughly enjoyable as the navy's major romantic threat. \ Charles Barton deftly directed the antics which make "Honolulu Lu" so enjoyable. Two new hit songs, "Hon* olulu Lu" and "That's the Kind of Work I Do," were penned for the film by Sammy Cahn and Satil Chaplin. i ' ? ?
