The announcement that the flying

of others about the country were be
ing shut, down October 1, did not oc
casion mneb surprise In. Camdsn. It
hM ^en a belief that many more of
the prtUsyy and basic schools will be
closed this year. While Shaw Field
officers continue to decry reports,
that the big Sumter county ImsIc field
will be closed within the year, reports
persist that the days of the training/
program there are numbered.
a number of the basic lis)ds have al
ready been shut down. <
poslte side of the plant from Ike so-
called freakish growlh is a <’place in
the surface which might be likened to
an opening. This gives tbe eggplant
all tbe characteristics of a pitcher.
