ODE TO THE BAZAAR
I igjten folks ami you ahull hear
a rare event as time dfuws near.
Tis the annual fair for Father Burke
^ ('s sure a duty we cannot ahlrk.
Mary's hall should bo your goal,
you'll be amaaed, well, bleas my soul,
B,\t all the things on aalo you see,
We'll bet it makes you say ""oh (lee.",
filings so protty, things so sweli,
^ Things to eat, perfumes that smell, j
mings to suit most every taste;
^fl'tiituTS <iulte stunning, things quite i
j chaste.
Cood old Tuck Is there to smile
Chase the gloom and cheer beguile.
Father Burke with kindly grin,
suggests the tjvheel of fortune spin.
This great event will leave you gusp
iTetty gifts your hands are clasping,
Something old and something new,
Nothing here to make you bluo.
.Mark the date with glaring chalk,
.March 19?now please don't balk.
You're going there and that's a fact,
II)o not argue, show some tact.
j We note by the press that several
bright boys (?) over in jthe legisla
turn are again advocating the susI
pension of enforcement of the motor
vehicle safety inspectlbn law.
? * *
Opposition to these "bright (?)"
ideas is offered by none other than
Chief Highway Commissioner James
IS. Williamson, who asserts "because
I we are at war with Japan is no rea
sou to kill more of our people here."
I ? * *
We suspect that the two represen
tatives who are seeking to have the
safety inspection law thrown on the
I ash heap are Indulging in a bit of
politics. Their reasoning on the matI
ter smells of childishness, or in the
I slang phrase of a New York east side
tough, "just plain nuts."
* * * *
Scarcity of new automobiles, tires
and other accessories were cited as a
reason of the law of suspension. Any
I individual with two per cent intelliI
genee rating should realize that new
I automobiles and new tires do not
I figure directly in accident toll. It ia
I the aged Jalopies which are the cause
I of highway accidents. Safety inspecI
tion provides for these jalopies to be
prepared or else keep ofT the highways.
In other words, defects such
as poor brakes, faulty head-lights
and other items due to carelessness
in automobile upkeep are the cause
if accidents.
* * *
Just because some of these legislates
have a few friends who are operating
vehicles which should be In
:ho junk yard Is no reason for the
motoring public to be endangered. j

Chamber of 'Cammerce secretaries
of the South Carolina State Secreta-j
. I
lies' Association met at the Wado
Hampton hotel in Colunibia recently
to discuss the role of Chambers of
Commerce in the war. The discussion
Was presented by I,. I\ Dickie,
manager of the Southeastern Division
of the Chamber of Commerce of
the I'nited States. It was set forth
that this was the time for the umost
unity of business actions, that all business
should work together, stand
together, and abandon differences. It
was further developed thai all business
organizations should give the
right-of-way to war ? activities, and
that Chambers of Commerce in all
parts of the country should center
their attention on the war effort.
? ?
It was pointed out that the Chambers
of Commerce of South Carolina
are equipped to do much of the work
which must be done.
* ?
The cooperation that the Camden
Chamber of Commerce received from
Congressman J. P. Richards when a
plea was made for greater WPA labor
requirements at the Camden airport
was in keeping with the usual alertness
of the congressman. At tho
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
directors last week, the secretary
was authorized to write to Congressman
Richards and explain to him the
need of more labor requirements at
the airport here. There is a wealth
of work to be done and the Chamber
felt that the defense program was
being held utf by the lack of sufficient
laborers. Tuesday morning a
letter was sent to Congressman Richards.
* * * *
Wednesday morning the Congressman
wired acknowledgement of the
letter and on Thursday morning another
wire came advising the Chamber
that all WPA labor requirements
at the Camden airport will be satisfled.
That, iadies and gentlemen, is
real service.
Readers of this column know full
well that the writer assumes all responsibility
for utterances - therein.
Our viewpoint does not in any way
reflect the viewpoint of the Chamber
of Commerce or the Public Relations
Bureau^ As an Individual, we have
the right to think as we please.
ROSES and THORNS 1
i? ''
Hey Mr. Ross, you're the police
commissioner. Why not have the
boys in blue check on the skips at
Lyttleton and DeKalb streets. Tho
way the lame-brain drivers are batting
through the red at that corner
is a shame.
? ?
Say what you please, the job that
Joe McKain. Don Morrison and Jim
Raley have done at the ball park is
something to crow about. The plant
never looked finer and we'll bet Lee
MacPhall will be mighty pleased. He
arrives here in a few weeks.
The infield and outfield tooks like
a park lawn. And Don's renovating
and rejuvenating process in the club
house has made that place attractive
in a big way.
By the way, some hoodlum broke
the lock off the door of the club house
several nights back. This corner will
give a $6 reward for Information that
will lead to the apprehension and conviction
of tho culprit.
As soon as the baseball season Is
over, the softball program will get
under way. With the war taking
nearly all of the boys away, we hope
to have several teams made up of
business and professional men. The
"war-time" now prevailing will enable
the playing of two games each
evening.
As a matter of fact this summer
recreation idea has the whole-hearted
approval of the federal government.
The administrate*0 leaders
who foresee a long, hard war olw>ed?
believes the morale of the people can
be malntaiucd at a satisfactory level
through the medium of outdoor sports
utul recreation.
?
The Virginian#' horse show, offered
last Saturday at the J. North Fletcher
stables, was Juat about as classy an
affair ofTered in local equestrian circle#
in history. While below-free#ln*
temperature in the morning caused
guum doubt as to liuw many UtlOPle
would brave the blasts of King lloreas.
by noon the temperature . was
at a comfortable pitch and a bright
sun was shining. Everything went off
line-- so hats off to the committee in
charge.
Speaking of indoor and outdoor
sports, the Chamber of Commerce
has been going all out 100 per cent
in a new und most embarrassing
game. It might bo called "Lookln'
Fqr What Ain't." And that is Just
what it is. Saturday the Chamber
was called upon to supply 15 couples
with rental accommodation#?apartment
or house. And not one on re*
cord. ?
k
Wo think Camden people are passing
up a great, opportunity. They
want to have tho local ulr field expand.
for expansion means more cadets.
more Instructors, moro mechanics
and all these mean bigger payrolls
und bigger payrolls means moro
dough In tho pockets of Camden business
men. But the expansion Is limited
because Camden does not offer
sufficient accommodations to take
care of the Incoming citizens who
seek to take up housekeeping.
What a difference in Sumter. There
the hammer and the saw is heard on
every hand. Some eight apartment
houses going up and over a hundred
new homes. Sumter people are budding
them In order to provide homes
for officers. Instructors, machanics
and the like from Shaw Field.
^ Sport Potpourri
BY THE SKIPPER ;!
i
We hope every Camden fan 1 will
make an effort to attend as many of
the ball games to be played here in
March and April by various pro
teams, as possible. If we can show
the Toronto team management that
we have an. interest In the team by
turning out for these home games,
we stand a good chance of having the
Leafs back again next year and the
year after.
And we would, like to hear from
some of the fans who would be interested
in helping transport the
players to Columbia, Sumter and
Rock HiU for games. Eight or ten
cars will take the team and the car
owner and driver will have a chance
to see the games.
* ?
By the way, did you see the polo
game Sunday. Well, it wasn't so hot.
Some of the players played good ball.
But others were away off form. It
wasn't until the final chukker that
the action got the fans excited.
Brooke Gallion, Baltimore player,
did a brodie from his pony in the
first chukker. The speediest action
of the afternoon came right after Mr.
Clalllon hit the ground. Ralph Waldo
Chase, who has been doing a swell
job as defense coordinator here and
who has Just completed his first aid
course, was down the steps from the
broadcasting stand and out on the
field headed toward the scene of the
aocident in exactly nothing flat.
*
As It happened, Ralph was not
needed, but we do feel that hi#
speedy reaction to the call of duty
should be extolled In this sport potpourri.
Lion# Suspend Temporarily
Due to the fact that so many of
the Lions Club members are taking
training courses, or are already engaged
in active work In Civilian Defense
work, it was decided at the
meeting on February 16, to suspend
meetings for the duration. Thi# step
was felt necessary so that all members
would have more time to devote
to active work in the Increasing
need of Home Defense.
The Judge explained tha ta divorce
was tho proper procedure?if she was
sure that was what she wanted.

Farmers Urged
To Save Lespedeza
Urging Kershaw county farmers to
sow annual lespedeza on grain during
February and March, Warren
Duncan, soli conservationist of the
Lynches River Soil Conservation District,
says that in so doing farmers
can make a practical contribution to
the Food-for-Freedom program.
Annual lespedeza makes ideal summer
grazing, he explained, and since
milk, and other dairy and livestock
products, are the foods most urgently
needed both in Britain and here at
home, grazing crops will play a vital
part In the food-for-freedom program.
Mr. Duncan went on to say that
more hay and grazing than has heretofore
been available will be needed
if farmers are to meet the goals established
for these products. He also
points out that good grazing will
lower the cost of producing thesd
products.
Seeded on grain in the spring, lespedeza
is usually ready to graze about
June 1. The lespedeza may be grazed
until fall, and after the seed has
ripened, grain may be planted again,
following a light disking, or in drill
furrows. The following Bpring, a volunteer
growth of lespedeza that can
be grazed during the summer appears.
By this system, two crops can
be produced annually on the same
land, and the soil is covered at all
times and protected against erosion.
Mr. Duncan points out that lespedeza
seeded on small grain does
not necessarily have to be grazed.
Used in normal crop rotations and
turned under for soil improvement,
(lespedeza still offers an opportunity
to contribute to the food-for-freedom
program by keeping the soil in condition
to produce larger acre yields
of crops farmers might be called on
to grow later.
Farmers are cautioned, however,
to select areas suited to the production
of lespedeza. Most heavy types
1 of soil which have a good clay subi
soil are adapted to ths production of
l this crop bat in no case should annual
lespedeza be planted on soils
having a deep sandy topsoil, such as
l Norfolk and sand or loamy sand. ?
