CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank our many friends for the flowers and kindness shown us during the recent death of our be loved husband and father. Mrs. Lewis E. Barfield ^2p and family. The manpower sitnstion is really rrltlcal. Several of the larger cities report It exceedingly difficult to find any Santa Clauses. A series of very attractive shop windows, gotten up with the intentipn of showing those of ns at home what a strong and necessary link our Red Cross is between us and our service men, has served that'purpose well if the interest shown in the display is a good barometer. Most of these dis plays show the most important side of the question—what ws send oar msn, both at home and abroad, through the Red Cross. But h must be admitted that the target of inter est was what our boys have sent us. and the display made the big Fashion Shop window look like a comer in a museum. A little of everything from everywhere. Vicious looking hand made weapons, and beautifully gay colored silks alongside each other, jewelry from foreign cities, knives and other weapons from strange is lands, a Japanese heltnat >nd feed ing kit, a headhunter's hsndwrought axe and woodbn shield, a dress of pineapple cloth from the Philippines along with other items—including ‘one-way slippers’—too numerous to list, a grass skirt from the South Seas, and a Chinese child’s silk cos tume. Perhaps the two most beauti ful Items in all the lot were the two silk parachutes of bright silk, the red one. which floated ammunition down to our men, and the yellow which brought them food. This window was of absorbing In terest, and an education to most of ns. Its arrangement represented a great deal of trouble and painstaking care, as each article was tagged for identification, since most of them were things we've read about and beard about, hut never seen. What our soldiers bare sent us makes a varied and colorful picture." What we send our men is not so artistic, perhaps, but more important Kit Bags were on display In W. She ora and Sons’ window. The articlea that have proven to be the most want, ed from the service man’s stand point, along with a sample kit hag. spread out with a background of Red Cross Emblem and posters. On dis play were a small book (detective story preferred?) a deck of cards, rasor blades, candy, and a few other items besidM a housewife. This is a small rolled up sewing kit, contain ing needles, thread, etc., for the man who has to do most of his own mend ing. The Knitting Display in a Smart window, was eloquent of the tons of wool that have gone across the wat ers to keep our men warm. Beside piles of knhting wool of olive drab and dark blue, were an arrangement and efficient looking window Outlook. A lifeslxed model wore the handsome Motor Corps uniform, and arranged neatly about were a folded blankeL a profeealonal First Aid i^t and booklet, and other ttenia used by the Motor Corps in its work of .driving amhnlances end carinf far emergencies. The Nureesf Aid window war in the Camden Beauty Shop. This was very attractive, with a lifesixed model in the blue Nursaa’ Aid uniform, against a auitably patriotio background. *11)18 is one of the moet becoming of all the uniforms—one worth, .trying. The Canteen Corps, which is sup posed to serve food quickly in time of disaster, bad a small but pretty window at The Hat Box. A large bowl of fruit was in the foreground, and aronnd it ware set little card board, figures of Cantean workers in their blue uniforms and caps. TBaue depicted some of tho real dnUea of this Corps. Peeling potatoes, stir ring soup, painting the wall and of fering sustenance to one lone llAle cardboard soldier. Patriotic poatm completed the picture. * Staff Assistanea was represented in a windolw of Ekhel’s Depsrtme^ Store, by a pretty model in a ySiThw uniform with yellow veil. She was seated befofti a desk, with a type writer, a file box and vase of spring flowers. The Red Cross emblem and posters filled In the background, and Dr. Anatln T. Moors of Columbia, wen known tu-<Camden, and a nephew of Mrs. Alfred E. Kennedy of Lugoff. was one of the principal speakers st a sectional meeting of the Inter national College of Surgeons In Birm ingham, Ala., recently. Dr. Moore atated in his talk that in the Civil war over 92 per cent of injured men with compound factures died of teUnns. gas. gangrene or in fection. whether or not ampnUtion had been neceasary, but in the pres ent war deaths from bone Injuries are less than 1 per cent. He described how the new type operation allowed the patient to he out of the hospital in approximately two weeks, with no brace, casts or other necessary support. Previously spinal fusions and hone grafting op erations required many weeks of hos pitalisation, with fully six months of Incapacity. s To Doctor Moore goes credit for original work with the pinning and nailing of his- fraetores. which for years had been cases where the pati ent had to lie in bed for months with a weight on his log. Through Doctor Moore’s methods of nailing fractures with four nails and through the'uBa of a blade-plats, patients with fractured hips may sit up earlier and are hack to reasonable conditions fairly soon. “If yon can keep an~--Md iierson active and going at a normal rate of metabolism, he will have a gdod chance to recover,” he explained. ‘Bat if be cannot move he is likely to develop fatal complications.” Cases Near ^ Are Given Aid a handmade poster detailed some qf of Rm the many things the office OoBS does—from answering thh tele phone to keeping records of all the great volume of work paid and vol unteer workers are busy at night and day. The two leading Negro drag stores held displays gotten up by commit tees of Negro workers. The Thomas Boy Scout News Drug store had potters and-items ^ lated to Red Cross activities, and. well known emblem. *1116 Pickett Drug Store was par ticularly well gotten up, with Red Cross posters in the background, and a gun, a helmet, and a miniature tank, and what is more intereatlng, over a hundred and fifty photographs of our Kershaw County Negroes who are in some branch of the service. This display of photographs is a per manent one, belonging 1^ the owner of the store, and it helped make this window stand out in patriotic inter est to the people at home. Enough thanks cannot be given the merchanta of Camden, who are al ways so generous in offering their space and help, and who, in this in stance, are helping in bringing home to the people some of the many worthwhile thlnga the Red Cross is constantly working at. Also to be thanked, and congratulated are the committees who decorated the win- Troop 54 met Wednesday night in the troop meeting room at the Ma sonic ball. For the opening, Prank Babbitt led the troop in the Scout Oath and Law. A short time later there was a knot tying contest. Bill Savage being the winner. Tbs roll was called by the scribe and the dues were collected by the patrol leaders. Martin Price’s patrol put on a short play after which a demonstration of correct First Aid for serious injuries was given. George Mickle gave a short talk on the Gen. Eisenhower paper drive. C. L. Sbealy also gave a short talk on the paper drive. He also spoke en the hike and the patrol meeting. The Scout Master 'offered a prise to the boy of the troop that got the most over a ton of crap. dows.
