By only a stretch of imagination
can Camden winter colonists who sre
ht their winter homes here for the
season, be styled “Miracle Motorists.”
Tho name "Miracle Motorists” was
applied to tourists in Florida because
of the way they could stretch "A”
gasoline ration into lengthy sightsee
ing tours and daily pilgrimages to
race tracks and night clubs. Florida
citizens solemnly declared, that these
motorists were able to get "1,000 miles
to the gsUon." •
Th^ northern people in Camden
came from their northern homes by
the Seaboard Railway, and at the
close of the season, will return by the
same means. "
I The situation in Florida is a serious
one for thousands of tourists who
"Biotored to the Sunshine State.
Rationing officials In Florida gave
them a determined "no” when these
vacationing motorists applied for ex
tra ration allotments so they could
drive home. The Florida raUoning
officials declared the extra allotments
^must come from home town boards,
ithat they, the Florida offices, have
:no authority to Issue the extra allot
ments.
I This determination resulted In the
I State Senate of Rhode Island passing
a resolution characterizing the Florida
ration boards with exercising a
1 "squeeze play,” with a view of forcing
nothern motorists to sell their cars at
'a loss. The Florida ration administra
tors declared the Rhode Island resolu
tion to being a "bunch of foolishness.”
They also stated that they would like
to bear of an investigation in Rhode
Island of the manner in which mo
torists got gasoline for vacations In
the first place.
In the meantime, railroads operating
ont of Florida to the north report
their freight cars are hauling gasless
gas buggies northward.
Here In Camden the squeese of
gasoline allowance is being felt. Many
motorists who have been using "C”
coupons found that when they went
t for renewal of their coupons that th«j
I had been reduced materially.

Every farmer has a direct, personal in-
terest in the shortage of j)u Ip wood because
80 many pulpwood products such as car
tons, wraps, liners, pads and bags, enter
into the marketing of his own farm prod
ucts.
“Uncle Sam’s pulpwood needs of 14,-
000,000 cords in 1944 are keyed to the in
vasion of Hiller’s conquered Europe. The
\('ar Food Administration is working with
the War Prndiirtinn Rnard and the War
Manpower Commission to increase the
production of pulpwood and other forest
products. ^
“If you-have any time at all in which yoji
could cut pulpwood, get in touch with your
County War Board or County Agent.’

The CbarleeUm High B&ntems are
the Class A high school basketball
champions of South CaroUns. The
Bantams defeated the Sumter Game
cocks in the final game of the state
tournament at Sumter Saturday night
by a wide score. It was the third
meeting between these teams this sea
son, SumtM* losing the first galne at
Charleston by a point but winning the
second at Sumter by a good margin.
The third meeting, a state title affair,
found the Bantams outplaying Sumtm*
In every phase of the game.
Camden Highs went into the semi
finals Friday night, meeting the Sum
ter Highs for-the Uiird time this sea
son. Camden won the first game of
the series here but lost the second at
Sumter. In the game last FYiday
night the Bulldogs were outlucked.
But they put on a last quarter rally
that had the Sumter coach and fans
almost on the verge of ap](oplexy.
Camden took an early lead In the
game but SumtMr spurted and at half
time led 21 to 14. The third quarter
was even but in the final quarter Cox
and Wilson of Camden found the taget
and wJth^'thh Bdlldog guards holding
the Gamecocks to a lone goal the
Camden team were sinking them from
all angles and had closed the wide
gap to a-two point margin when the
gun ended the game. Cooper of Cam
den, was high scorer with 14 points.
In the opening gkme Thursday night
Camden gave Rock Hill a neat going
over 83 to 19. The first half was
fairly even but in the second half
Camden made it a runaway.
In other games of the tournament
Sumter eliminated Sumerton In the
first night’s game. Greenville elimi
nated Dreher of Columbia, and in the
second or Friday night games, Char
leston eliminated Greenville, while
Sumter was winnnig from Camden.

can from the 32 outstanding teems of
the United States, that competed last
year at Madison Square Garden.
Of this season’s 23 games, the Pro
fessors won 12, but the closeness of
the scores In many of the 11 defeats Is
evident in the fact that Southern Air
ways aggregate score stands at 789
points while their opponents totalled
but 701 points.
High point man for the Professors
was Lieut. Frank Bean with 152 points
or an average of 8 1-2 points per
game. Corp. Stanley Hall copped 2nd
place with 145 points, and Instructor
Bill Winn stood third with 117 points.
