wm We Have
A Service Center?
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'. \

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?

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

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.
