The writer ot this erticle wldiea to M7 in the very hecinninc that neither ghe nor any one of*the many the repreeente is In the least opposed to the refrigeration plant Wo all eon- aider it a fine thing—4herefore in no way does it enter into the argument The question is the building used' for the Service men being used for anything else. They, in our opinion (and it shottld be everyone’s oi^ion) deserve our first consideration. We, I mean the greater number of citisens, were in no wgy notified or approached about giving up the build Ing, and were shocked when we were told arrangements had been completed for rettttng It The government releaaing it Is no argumMit of defense at all. We re> gretted very much when the govern ment took it over, for it was never meant for the air school which had its various clubs. It was started by one ot our most loyal cHixens, a merch ant, who, I understand, was not even asked to the meeting. It is an easy decision to make by those who have comfortable homes and easy chairs and baths, and no loved ones in the war. This building cannot be replac ed anl has served many thousands ot our homesick, tired, lonely soldier boys. Boys seeking a little rest from crowded camps, cities, etc. Boys on their way home from battle, weary, hungry and longing for a touch of homellfe until they can reach their destination. Boys on maneuvers, or on a few days leave, from various mlliury duties. Letters received by the ladies in charge can testify as to how many it has given a lift to on their way to war—along with a pleas, ant memory of gentle hospitality to cherish. The fact that this building is owned by the town makes it a greater shame for it does seem a small thing the town can do for those who are giving up everything. We have always thought our council represented us as to our needs and wants for the progress of the com- munity, and if a decision is doubtful, that we would at least be asked to meet with them for an opinion. I un derstand thiUi^er theTe_ wag, an. ob- jiictloh mii^ to their decision in tois matter, a second meeting was called, and no one asked to it If the women of this community— and I feel sure a maicn-ity of the men— amount to nothing more than a vote on election day Bien it behooves us to let that day go by with os remaining comfortably at home. It is my honest opinion that all concmned should know our feelings In this matter'. \ Women oTthe Service ClMter. Jvnknr iliaseball Fh^irm of 1944 Best Hi History Camden Awakena To Pro- novncod faitereat In Groat National Game. The Junior Legion program of hase- ball which has Just come to a ckwe in Camden has been the most successful (lie LeRoy poet has ever spon sored. Camden awakened to the fact that baseball is one of the most thrilling 'and interesting of sports. That is proven by the fact that it is the national sport FOr years Camden has preferred a football menu to any Bilttg -else in the sport line, same keen Interest for the gridiron sport still prevails but the past month las demonstrated that there are hun dreds of enthusiasticJwseball fans in the community. Again we want to call attention to the IMS Junior Legion season. There isn't any doubt but what the LeRoy Belk Post will again sponsor a win ning diamond machine. The Poet has done such a magnificent }ob this sea- son that the public will give approval to any program that will add interest and greater fiancial return to the Post another year. And (or that reason we again suggest that tall light poles be erected at the proper places on the baaeball field and that next spring the lights used on the football field be transferred to these poles and that Camden have night baseball next year. We say without fear of contradic tion that if night baseball is offered the Camden and community sport lov ers that the grand stand and bleach ers will be filled at each game. Too much cannot be said of the fine work that Dr. Carl West, Arthur Clark, Wiley Sheorn and coaches Lind say Pierce and Art Robinson have done to build up the baseball program in Camden and KM'shaw county. If lights are provided next spring, there is no reaeon at all why the Camden high school cannot put a high class team in the field and go after state honors with just as much suc cess as featured the Junior Legion program this year. And in the meantime friends, why ■not have w few -more gamee of baset ball this summer. What say? R^Kvt et Sail Cc^rvatioB IHrtrict Ptft ni CARO OF THANKS I wish to express to my friends in Flat Rock township my sincere thanlu for their kind support (or magistrate in the recent primary election. While not enough to place me on the win nlng side, I deeply appreciate the support given me.—Q. R. Clements, Bay War Bbnds aiid Steaqpg At the suggestion of the Preeident of the United SUtea, the soil oonserv- tlon districts law was passed in lfl7 in South Carolina after 'it was de trained hy the State LegislatHre that (arm of the State are am<mg the basic assets of the State and that the preservation these lands is necessary to protect and promote the health, safety and welfmro of its people, and that improper land use praxes caused and are contributing to^a more and more serious erosion. One by one Soil coaservaden dis tricts. after a favorable vote by*:farm- ers within the boundary of the dk- ^^Urlot, were organised. The whole Wale of South Carolina is now organised into soil conserva tion districts. The quick succession of the organisation of 21 soil conser vation districts and the response of farmers, who have availed themselves of the assistance offered by the dis trict in planning their farms so they might obtain the best returns from an economic standpoint as well as a soil saving one. indicates that farmers have profited by experiences and ob servations from demonstrations of the- U. 8. Department of Agriculture in the early days of “trial and error” in erMioB control Md that they have advanced to the stage of determining the advantages offered by. the dis tricts to be an asset to farmers. How can soil conservation districts help the farmer with his problem? The districts are the instruments through which farmers may receive assistance from agricultural agencies, state, federal and local, in stopping the wastage of soil and water, in pre paring a map for their (arms showing a classification of land according to use capabilities, and in furnishing a table of recommendations as to crop ping systems and engineering and other practices for each class of land, in planning their complete farms for conservation and in putting these plans into effect In fact, soli con servatlon districts in this State have for their objective proper land use for the purpose of conserving soil and moisture and the practices with which to do this job are set forth in a work idaiijanjl program which is drawn ^ by the supervisors with the hdp o; technicians of agricultural agencies cooperating with them. In South Carolina, each soil con servatlon district has as its govern ing body a board composed of five supervisors, three elected by vote of farmers within the district and two who are appointed by the State Soil Conservation committee, which com mittee is compoeed of the Director of The"ExlensIbn, as chairman, the Dlrec FOR SALE--rA few nice fresh milk cows for best offer.

Supervisors of soil conservatlmi dis tricts are farmers, themselves, within the district. They are not, necessari ly, men versed in any particular phase of agricultural sciences. It is their duty to work by precept and example with farmers In an attempt to conserve the soil and to maintain its fertility, to promote the district idea and to acquaint farmers, through cooperat ing agencies, with methods and prae Uces beet suited to do this job. The district, therefore, is an organisation of farmers, by farmers, for farmers, where they all work together in the prescribed democratic way to promote a better agriculture. Increase the in come of Tanners. fhereaee crop yleldi, conserve the toll, maintain its fer^ tility, and reclaim idle and unproduc- live lands. District snpervlsore have as great a reeponsiblllty as any other group of agricultural leaders have ever borne. The stress of the times makes it all the more important that each super visor recognise the full meaning of the responsibility he has accepted and the power vested in him by virtue of the office he holds. Ehich district supervisor should help plan for the production of Tood- and other agricul- tural products needed to help win this war, but he should keep in mind that, while we need to nse every resource to Increase production. It must not done by sacrificing the eolT upon which the life of this nation depends, not only for the period of the war, for the security it will bring for all time • Supervisors of your district will be glad to discuss with you the operation of thw4iatriot «b4 your (arnr problems and to help you In obtaining techni- cal or other assistance offered by co operating agencies through the dis tricts.
