K.; Races Will Be Held (Continued from first page) burg, while "Enterprise" owned by Paul K. Mellon and trained by James E. Ryan, and "Replica", owned by Richard K. Mellon and also trained by Mr. Ryan, accounted for two other races. From Middleburg the ngx't stop was at Howie, Maryland and later Pinilico, Maryland, where flat racing predominates. The horses owned by the Harrington stables of Chicago and trained at the Marlon duPont track by Edward Heyward did unusually well, winning up to the present, six races at those two tracks. One of the outstanding Camden trained horses in the race program last spring is "Olympus", a chestnut, , the horse that was beaten only one half a length for the $50,000 "Widener Special", at Hiallah Park, Miami, Florida. "Olympus" showed great promise In races In England and when the war broke out, was brought to this country. He was owned by William Woodward of New York, who had sent him to England to take part In the races there. ! Entries from the Chrlstlanla stables, owned by Mrs. Henry Lunger, of Wilmington, Delaware, was trained by Jack C. Healy, have been contenders at Bowie and Pimlico, and to date have accounted for three races. The steeplechase season has but recently opened up, according to Mr. Klrkover, and horses trained here have done exceptionally well. Horses of various owners, which were trained by James E. Ryan, have been quite prominent as winners, and everything indicates that they will continue to be very successful as the season progresses. Horses owned by F. Ambrose Clark of Westbury, Long Island, and by Mrs. Clark, recently left here for their northern campaign. Mr. and Mrs. Clark occupied the Kendall house during the winter season and only recently left for Westbury. It is of much interest to South Carolinians who follow the steeplechase race events to know that the Maryland cup races held April 25, at Washington Valley, Maryland, was won by the bay gelding "Wlnton", owned, developed and ridden by Stuart S. Janney, Jr., who, on two Saturdays previous, had taken first in the "Little Grand National" and the "My Lady's Manor", thus being ; the first horse to accomplish the ("Triple" in these events. Interest centers particularly in Janney as he will be pleasantly remembered for his expert handling of a Camdon favorite a few years ago, "Hotspur" who went on to fame before he was retired. Mr. Janney, who is a prominent young attorney , at Haltimore, rode "Hotspur" for Mrs. Wadsworth and Harry U. Kirkover 6n many occasions here. His uncle, the late Jervis Spencer, who held the record for riding winners in the Maryland cup, a total of five, bequeathed this horse "Winton" to his nephew when he passed away four years ago.

Outstandingly beautiful were the rhododendron and mountain laurel, and of course the flowers of the magnolia family; magnolia grandIflora, sweet bay, and the tulip "poplar". Other smaller flowers such as colic roots, Virginia flame pink and coral honeysuckle also were the objects of much admiration. Interest In the exhibition was added by the collection of unique and rarely seen natives, mostly denizens of the swamps. Among these were six species of the carnivorous sarracenae, commonly known as pitcher plants und trumpets. In this collection of unusual plants many people for the first time in their llveH saw the famous and rare Veuus fly trap. Mr. Savage states that this plant represents the nearest approach among land plants to animal traits. The leaves of this plant move to catch insects in their miniature rat traps and then digest these insects as an essential part of their diet. Mr. Savage collected his specimens of this plant near Myrtle Beach. Its range is limited to within a few dozen miles of that place. Among the ferns were seen the American ahd Southern maidenhair ferns, resurrection ferns, maidenhair spleenwort, cinnamon ferns, Christmas fern, and several others. Mr. Savage.says that most of his exhibit was garnered from his wildflower gardens at his Knights Hill Plantation a few miles west of Camden, for which garden he has been gathering specimens far and wide for several years. The president of the garden club Is Mrs. L. I. Guion, whose work in garden activities has been outstanding. The chairman of the reception committee of thfer-Wednesday show was Mrs. Reuben Pitts, while the chairman of the flower show was Mrs. Henry G. Carrison. The committee, iu charge of the classification of entries consisted of Mrs. Clifton McKain, Mrs. George Cook, Mrs. Samuel Russell and Mrs. Ned McDowell. The publicity committee consisted of Mrs. John Mullen, Mrs. Gay Baum, and Mrs. Phoebe Schenk. The judges of the show were Mrs. Sadie Gulledge, Mrs. Tom Moore and Mrs. George Thayer, all of Columbia, who were entertained-at luncheon-by Mrs. H. G. Maiwln at her home on Rectory Square following the judging of the flowers. The exhibit of Mr. Savage won the silver bowl, which will remaip in his possession until the 1943 show when it will again- be placed in competition. The sweepstake prize of a silver cup, to be retained for one year by the winner, was won by Mrs. L. I. Guion for the most ribbons. A public hearing in the above entitled matter will be held in the Commission's Offices in Wade Hampton State Office Building, Columbia, South Carolina, at 3:30 p. m., ETW, Thursday, May 28, 1942, for the purpose of determining the requirements of public convenience and necessity in the premises.

The rapidity of construction of these houses can be attributed largely to the Ingenious use of cotton and rubber, the National Cotton Council and Cotton-Textile Institute report. Roomsized rubberized cotton ballon sections are inflated and sprayed with concrete. When the concrete hardens the balloon is removed and the concrete shell is covered with insulating material and an outer layer of concrete. Defense*housing official! say that using four balloon sections, they can erect 100 houses in 60 days and 200 in 90 days. Above, workmen dust balloon with a compound to prevent concrete from sticking to it, and below, is shown a finished house. The house has two bedrooms, living room, kitchen, bath, entrance hall and ample closet space. , I SCRAP IRON I IS BADLY NEEDED I Our Country cannot build tanks and air- I I planes without it.
