You saw them here just the other day—delivering papers, working after school at the filling station, mowing the front lawn under protest, or building a shack in the vadant lot. How many times recently we've heard some dad say, “1 wish I could be right with that boy of mine to cheer him up and keep him from getting homesick.” And, if there’s been a tight feeling in your throat, dad, its only natural. But, even though you can’t go out with that liRi yourself, rest assured there’s a fellow along with your boy’s outfit to buck him up when he’s down-hearted, to take any mewage he wants sent along home, or to just talk. That fellow m the Red Cross field director, sent along with your boy by the American people,, That’s why its important right now for all of us to do our part in the American Red Crews War Fund. Let’s keep the Red Cross at his side! DsTid AlmaiMiar Elliott. 72, dktd M Camden konpltnl Wedneadsf after noon after an Ulneaa of tvo OKNitka.

Corbett, Camden’s grand old man, beloved of young and old, was 81 years of age last FridAy. That even ing Dr. Corbett, one of the first surgeons to operate in the Camden hospital, was a guest at the annual ball of the Cam den Hospital Auxiliaiy at the Sarsfield club. During the evening, the venerable doctor was awarded „Ahe prize for being the handsomest man at the ball. It waw a verdict that was accorded ^the unanimous approv^W^ the many people at the affair. At the risk 6f having an expert in English look ^kance at oiu* use of a grammatical adjunct which we believe is more -fltijim; tlisnwe submit the word ’’beautiful,” J^^in defihlhg^he word as It pertains to the belovect tfocTor, we might mention “beauty of character, beauty of all the fine things in life that go to make up an outstanding citizien, beauty in the things that make for a useful purpose in life—these are but a few. We think that the highest tribute that can be paid to Dr. Corbett comes from the pen of Sam Latimer,'publisher of the Columbia State. This writer called upon Publisher Lati mer last ^tisrday and during the course of a chat, mentioned the birthday anniversary of Camden’s venerated Dr. Corbett Monday morning Mr. Latimer expressed himself in The State aa follows: “Had we known last Friday that Dr. John W. Corbett of Camden, was to celebrate his eighty-first birthday, we would have greeted him that morning with “Many happy returns of the day!” But since we didn’t have the information, we A.
