This B.-C. gang may not be the headache that their alphabetical designation adTortisos a core for. Reports from West Colum bia indicate that the B.-C. squad has, a world of pep and that there are some beefy boys in the backfield. ' • • • • Pioroo will havo the call on seven of hie last year's regulars. We have an Idea that the opening lineup will find a lot of these letter chape sit ting on the bench while the Bulldog coach starts a green gang to sort of feel out the opposition. ^ 1 .e_..«_. The football season this year is different in a measure from those In: former years, in that the extended baseball program, which had the fans around here goggle^yed in interest and enthusiasm, was a sort of a hedge-hop to the football season. For that reason we are looking for some- what of a record firstrnlgbter turn out. • • • You've got to hand It to Dick Rich, arde for having the field in the beet shape it has ever been in for an opening game. The turf le perfect. ■ • • • Among the guests of honor at to* night's fracas will be the entire Sum ter High school team and there will be quite a delegation of students ea- companying the team. The Oameoook gang comes over to take a looksee at the Bulldogs, for they know they will face these same , pootches In two weeks on the same field. From ail we can gather, there will be something new In a record for foot- bkll attendance in Camden rung up when the Buiidogs tangle with the Gamecocks. It’s ^ng to be a honey of a battle, with the Bulldogs out to grab sweet revenge for the unexpected mauling received at Bumter Just a year ago. • • ■ • This corner suggests to Chief Alva Rush he make adequate preparations to handle an unprecented traffic prob lem that night. We have it from sev- eral Sumter acquaintaaces that the Gamecock city plans to poll the shades down, lock the front and back doors and all migrate to Camden for a several hours visit. * * * * We have an idea that the many hundreds of Camden and Kershaw county boys who are In the battle fronts of this world war will be sag- • eaety awaiting the Chronicle this fail. ‘ They are alt Interjseted In the footbaH program and If Camden can put on a eweil show and equal the fine play featuring the Bulld^ machine the past three years again this year, well, we have a hunch there will be cheers' for the Gold and Black clear out In the South Pacific and even on the sacred (7) soil of Germany. • • • • And if we can turn the trick on Sumter, those Camden lads in the fox holes and on the sea are going to have a chance to do a lot of good natured joshing of the Sumter boys who are over there with them doing a swell job of cooperating against the common foe. reroQF Roofing Is Available ...Mthin Your MeansI HoofiBig malMiBl is awaiUoM, at a pfioBs, for thasa roofs msad rapairiag or lira raroorasp* LET us ESTIMATE YOUR ROOPINQ JOBI Dent wait til the last minute to repair.

The Pros took an early lead when Lou Brock skirted left end for a touchdown after ■even minuret of play. Youths nf Hig^ Schod Age Urged To Attend School Governor Olin D. Johnston is ap- pealing to all parents of children ol school age to see to it that their ohU- dren are made to attend school this year. This is iMurt ot a nation-wide cant- paign to enforce educational require ments of the nation. In his appeal to the parents Governor JtAnirtott says: "South Carolina, is truly proud of the splendid achisnrements and noble sacrifices made by her sons and daughters in carrying on the varied tasks of the war. I say this with fall recognition of the help that has come from our boys and girls ^ e^KKB age—those not actually in the armed servlees. Mahy have been working and they rightfully feel that this work has been essential. ‘Now we are told by our national eaders tn the Army and Navy, in abor and IndMtry, and in ednealloa, that the most essential work for hoys and girls is that in our schools. They urge that our youth of high school age return now to continue the badlc train- ing so necessary if intelligent, well- trained young men and women are to meet the problems of postwar years. •So IS is with deep nride, with full awareness of what it win mean to many of yea and your families, and with heartfelt sincerity that I urge every boy and girl of high school age n South Carolina to continue to help our state and nation—this time by working in our schools. “Carrying on the fine traditions of Jouth Carolina is your own responsl- )iiity. I feel sure that you will not Tall sh<Ml of that honor.** Modem Bake Shop Given Enthusiastic Welcome By Public • • e The game dlahed up some thrillers. Outstanding was that when Brock of Sampson tacklers, Bllda lateralled Sampson 80. Swarmed over by a flock of Sampson tacklers, Bikda lateralled to Hammel who scored unmolested. • • • Last week the Packers played the Washington Redskins at Baltimore. Because some of his star men were i^t in shape, Lamheau, Packer coach, -<TO not- eaR upon them. Through some good passing by Sammy Baugh the Skins nosed out a win. e • « Sumter High has an all-new coach ing staff. Because the school authori ties did not hand the coaching job to HarteU assistant coach under Mc Millan, when the latter resigned to take over a job at the state university, Hartel quit and accepted a job at Kingstree. • • • We acknowledge word from some of the Sumter High gridders that Sumter will defeat Camden by a 20 to 0 score bn Sept. 29. We wonder. Our guess would be Camden 20, Sumter 12. Chewing Tobacco Rises In Price “Chawin’ Terbac” has gone up.
