Harry Klrkover, Mrs. Cyril Harrison and Mrs. , Belcherget the season's orchid award for putting on a real sporting event. * Smiling skies and a balmy temperature brought out a large group of divot diggers at the Country club golf classic last Sunday. * ? Golf has become the outstanding recreation In Camden this season and will continue to top the list of best sellers for the duration. * ? When Judge Ralph Chase saw one of his prize bow wows In the ring at the I^entep dog show In Rectory Square last Friday aflternoon, he Immediately went on the lam, calling iu Harry D. Klrkover to work In that particular class. Ralph certainly knows his Judges for Mr. Klrkover Is one of the best judges of dogs we know of. Later Mr. Chase enlisted the service of Mr. Gustavous Kurby to pass judgment in an/ther class boasting a Chase entry.* \ And the dog show, like some six others held over the last seven years, was a "howling" success. The entry list was large, It featured some outstanding pooches and there was a big turnout of spectators on hand. The affair was In charge of the boys of the Episcopal Sunday school and they really put it over. ,m And wearing that smilo that Is familiar to all Camden was Dr. Mauriio Clarke, rector of Grace church, wi.o was delighted over the public r. >p >nse to the effort of his boys. We always like to see Dr. Clarke happy, fnr if "hero was ever a person who deserves happiness, it is none other than this moro-than-friend-of-niine.

Roses and Thorns If you're real good perhaps torno day I'll tell you tho name of the sweet young thing here In Camden who came Into my office and said she wanted to do war work. When I aaked her what kind she said: "I want to be an air raid siren." Camden in to have a now club?a real honest-to goodness aggregation of fine fellows. Tho name of the club la to be "The Cranky Bachelors." Father Edmund Burke of the Catholic pariah, is slated to he the big wig and will carry the burdonsoano title of "Chief Uykabasar." * A little bird tells me that some of the names likely to be seen on the Foster will be those of Wallace Edward^ Oliver Ric4, Judge Mendell Smith, Lawrence Whltaker, Moultrie Brallsford and others. An excellent illustration of unjustifiable qulbbliug in furnished by the case of David Glnsburg, general counsel for the OPA, who was deferred as an essential worker and now is being commissioned an army oaptaln. * * * Critics have 'tried to infer that there was some draft-dodging Involved. That Is silly. He not only was in a category of men who have not been called for service as yet, but was rated as essential both by the first director of the OPA, Leon Henderson, and his successor, Director Prentiss Brown. At his own request, however, he was allowed to resign and ask army service. .. * * A man of Ginsburg's ability Is much to valuable to waste toting a rifle. Men with a fraction of his capacity are wearing captain's bars and even major's oak leaves. Why all the fuss because the army plans to make sensible ubo of his capacities? Meat rationing will probably be tough on most Americans but not as tough as it is in France and other occupied countries. * * * One thing about the war?it made us forget all about the forgotten man. Germany, Japan and Italy, it is reported from Berlin, have reached complete agreement on "cretaion of a new world order based on justice and guaranteeing eternal world peace." The kind of justice Illustrated In Poland, Belgium, France and other places? * The last winter really was a tough one. Even the Milwaukee weather man has announced he will retire. Unless you are able and willing to replace that boy at tho front keep on buying bonds and give him a chance to come home some day. The nation is roady to agree with Chairman Doughton of the house ways and means committee, in connection with his argument against the Ruml tax collection plan, that our soldiers are not requesting the forgiveness of a year's duty. Can he carry, that argument through on all activities which are directly concerned with the war and over which the federal government could exercise control? The last World war was fought to end all wars, so possible this one Is being fought to end rationing. Some day the politician is going to discover a substitute for that overworked alibi of "Have you something better to offer?" Many a candidate seems to be in favor of everything that has general public support. There is plenty of land in the City of Camden to give everyone a chance to plant a victory garden this year. A regional war manpower commie-1 sion official says that strip-teasers can't take it off. It is assumed that he is talking about time. Now peanut butter sandwiches will probably regain the peak of popularity. Look! Listen! Live! It's impossible to know whether the grade crossing accident illustrated here resulted because "three's a crowd" or because the driver had only one hand on the wheel. The official description of the accident says "a roadster,* driven by a young man with two lady passengers, disregarded lowered crossing* gates and drove through them into the side of a locomotive. Fortunately they were not injured, but the automobile was damaged." The National Safety Council la conducting1 a special campaign to stop these accidents, which every day delay 38 trains a total of 22 hours?a heavy drain on the nation's war transportation effort Driver-carelessness is the cause of almost all grade crossing accidents, according to the Council. To help win the war ? to save yourself and others needless suffering?the Council asks you to bo sure the track is clear before you start across. Scouts Commissioned By President F. D. R.

The Skipper Is Hot And Bothered About The Dinner Problem Ponders Over Matter of Giving a Dinner For Guests. For a furl folks, or per hups 1 might say murtyros, this question of giving 11 dinner for guests Is really a real cross word puzxlo. Not that 1 have any idea of giving a dinner, hut a lot of folks have ideas and they insist on calling my office to find out what can ho done about this and that. So when a local lady who does a lot of entertaining called up Saturday to Inquire, "what about getting meat enough for a dinner party of twelve?" she really had me stumped. That is something a news writer and Chamber of Commerce secretary does not like, lie doesn't like to be stunipvd by some silly question regarding beef roasts or what have you in the meat lino. So ho proceeded to do some telephoning. OPA experts declared that technically, the only way meat can bo bought for guests Is to have them buy it themselves and bring It to the j party. This wouldn't be so bad if the menu called for chops, but If ! the group wants to cook a big roust, apparently everybody will have to go i to the butcher shop together, ench I buying a piece of roast, and ask the J butcher to leave it all in one piece. The trouble Is that, technically, no one is allowed to buy meat with the ration books of anyone outside of his immediate family. There are a lot more wrinkles In the program. If you go to a delicatessen and' buy sandwich meat, you have to give liLm ration coupons, but if you have him make up the meat into sandwiches?and It is part of his regular business to make sandwiches ?you don't have to give up coupons on the theory that the transaction is equivalent to eating In a rostaurant where no coupons are needed. One of the most unusual features of the program permits, for the first two months of rationing, bargain sales of meat at reduced coupon costs determined by butchers or other dealj era on their own initiative. They can cut poin/t values in this manner If they are over-stocked with some products that are In danger of spoilage. Most popular meats were pegged at 1 eight points per pound, but the average is Bix, due to the fact that OPA set some '"bargains" of Its own at one point per pound for bacon rind, pigs oars, and fresh pigs feet.

Public Cautioned To Beware Snakes The Impression that cold weather eliminates the hazard of encountering potsondus reptiles lu the swamplund areas seems to have boon refuted during the past winter in view of incidents in which the deadly rattler has figurod. In January, during a particularly cold spell, Edwin (luy and James Sweet, while hunting on the J. L. Ouy farm east of this city, chanced upon a large rattler, which they killed. Only laat week Robort Pate, who resides opposite the Marshall church on tho Kershaw-Lee county line ten miles east of Camden killed a rattle snake that was six feet long and had fourteen rattles and a button. The huge snako was discovered by some negroes working in a field. They notified Mr. Pate who secured his shot gun and killed the snako which was found colled near a briar bush. County Ranger Smith, who rescued Ike Addison, 80 year old negro, who was lost for si xdays In a swamp, found a largo mocassin near the urfconsclous man.
