Grady Cnllison, chief medical officer. A recent survey made by the Nurs-t ink War Council reveals a shortage of graduate nurses In South Carolina.1 Due to this fact it is especially desirable that thoso graduate, nurses who are available for home volunteer work file their names with the deputy nurse in charge of each county. No Immediate duties are required of those who register, but the council feels that should an emergency arise, it could be adequately handled by nurses on the home front. The call 1 by the armed forces for an increased | number of nurses to serve on active I war duty at home and abroad makes ! Lhe responsibility of the nurses who I ?nnnot enlist in the services much ' greater now than ever before. Graduate nurses of Kershaw county ire urged to turn in their names and -juallflcations to Mrs. Elisabeth N. Mauldin. Camden, nurse deputy.

Listen A Florida paper which comes to the desk of the Skipper at regular Intervals carries an item in a recent Issue which should have much interest to Camden folks. The item quite bowled the Skipper on his beam end. He is still dazed ut what he read. And like all other Camden people, he wonders how it has been possible for a certain Camden resident to hide his talents under a bushel, so to speak. The Florida paper item reads as follows: "Next week the Mount Dora Chamber of Commerce is pleased to present Donald Morrison, famous American pianist. The first half of his .program will be played on the harp chord, the second part on the pianoforte. As he presents the works of the great masters of music he will in an intimate conversational manner toll of their lives and in makeup and authentic costume will impersonate them." Now folks, isn't that something? May we suggest that the next timo our good friend Donald Morrison is in a social group, let some be sure to insist thnt he give a piano selecj tion?or better yet, have him bring lout his hnrpiehorde. "Skipper, that just aint me," declared tiie Camden Donnld when interviewed regarding the above item. "That must, be my great uncle of 1 perhaps my great great grandpappy. j A piano to me is the acme of mystery. | I don't know the white keys and I j don't know the black keys. If I tried to play I would be in the cracks." HAUL IS CROWDED FOR SQUARE DANCE The old time dancnig party that was held in the WPA recreation center at the old armory last Thursday evening was one of the most enjoyed and largest attended during the season. Square dances were foremost on the program although the round dancing was indulged in between sets. A string orchestra from Columbia provided the music for the evening. Over/^SO soldiers from Fort Jackson and ijcores of cadets and other personneiTT^m Shaw Field and the Camden air port were present at the dance.

Of course | Lee could not tell him, but Loe did grasp the whip and shook it menacingly at Dobbin and said, "Now see here, Dobbin, behave yourself."
