A year ago we were all steamed up about a Legion team that material ized and gave the fans a world of pleasure for several months. * * * * This yoar the baseball book hM Ap parently been mislaid, for according to Information, there “aint going to be no team” at the High school. ' • • • • Of. course it’s a hard job to pre pare and maintain a playing schedule for either the high school or Junior Legion teams, but what we can’t get through our beano is that if Sumter, BiBhopville, Bethune, Kershaw, Great Falls and a score of other towns can have ball teams, why in Sam Hill can’t Camden? ■ • • • Camden has one of the best dia monds -and outfields in the state. We have plenty of kids that could be de velop^ into smart baseball players. But we haven’t any baseball en thusiasm. • • • • There Is another angle which may be the answer to the Camden picture. That is the matter of equipment It is as scarce as hen’s teeth right now Where these other high school teams get balls, batsr ote.,- we dont know— must be left over stuff from last year and the year before. We checked ou a number of sporting goods stores and find they Just haven’t anything. « • • • Camden football fans have reason to be a bit scarey right now too. For this reason—unless Coach Pierce of the Bulldog squad is able to find some football shoes, there Just wont be any football. For a fact, we hap pen to Imow that the Camden mentor has visited Charlotte, Columbia and other cities to contact sporting goods Stores and find football shoes. He Has written to all the leading whole- sale houses—and nary a shoe. Un less a miracle happens before next September the Bulldogs will be out plasring in their socks. We note the University of South Carolina pastimers have several games scheduled with Newberry. You can bet that when Rube Wilson pitches for Newberry, there will be a lot of Camden fans in the stand. • • • # • • Miserable with backache? \¥/HEN ▼V VM I I kijiBuyi hmOlDii hsdlv im mM9tMn§ m MpBst...

Participation in outdoor sport activities is the greatest help we know of to keep Young America out of mUchief. We feel that the Camden Legion Post can contr'bute p-eatly to the present move against Juvenile delinquency by sponsoring a baseball program in Camden. The 1944 Junior Legion team here was outstanding and had Coach Pierce had ^tter pitching to back up his de fensive play, the collapse In the last two games of the season, would not have occured. Public Interest in baseball really flared to a new height in Camden. We hare the uniforms and other equipment for a team. We have one of the b^.dlamnpds in the state. If Coach Pierce is unable to take over the coaching, we hare Carl Lightfoot and Arthur Robinson. So I ask—What are we waiting for? Around C^den The death of President Roosevelt resulted in all the radio networks cancelling light and frivolous enter- tainmeht from the air for several days. . • v* • We have an ldea'*i we echo the opinion of a majority of the radio listenmw when we say that so far as we are concerned, that ham comedy and sickening crooning and corny Jokes that clutter the airwaves can remain in limbo forever. It was a treat to hear good music and sen sible ve^logy. • •• 9 The life of any newspaper wrjter is a bMtic one and this writer’s was no exception to that rule. A news man ts on the scene at most stirring events, at the scene of stark tragedg. We have seen people dased with ter ror, confused by fear and excitement, but in all the several decades of our newspaper experience we never have witnessed anything to parallel the stunned shocked aspect of the popu lace as it was last Thnrsday even. Ing when news of the death of Presi dent Rooeevelt became known. • • • •« The people seemed td take the paa- sing of this great character as a par- sonal loss, like the passing away of one in the family. Scores of people who had made plans to attend the movies that night' did not go. They were like the tens of thousands a British broadcaster in New York spotu of lu hR tmiuleast to BHgiaiBI Red Cress Notes Sadie K. vonTreackow RAM THRU many of ns did not agree eye to eye with the late President, but we con soled our littleness in whatever the subject matter was with the pro found belief that the president knew what he was talking about. And we generally found out that he did. ^ - CAMDEN HOME BAKERY ’There was a meeting of the Motor corps at headquarters last Wednes day morning. Mrs. Leon Scfalosburg. captain of the corps, presided.

Some interesting facts that were told by the repatriated American prisoners of war were brought to light when four of them apoke at the Central High Elchool aeditorium, in Charlotte, N. O. They stated that theif meals consisted of one enp of hot water for breakfast, a bowl of wormy soup for dinner, and one or two potatoes for supper. When they were erchanged in January, things were unsettled and they were only re-' eetvlug—enwhalf -food^ 'parcel per week, however, they stated that the Red Cross parcels were' the staff of life to the prisoners. Their morale was very high even though life in the prison camp was monotonous. Bridge seemed to be the favorite pastime The prisoners owe a great debt to the Red Cross and Y.M.G.A. Despite all hardships,' they said the prisoners, as a whole, can take all the Germans can dish out, because they have something to come home to., r I HtARO COP5 BPOUl UP N^OURPOtaR GAMl LASrNIOHt • Smart bome-makers uae our broad, ezcluMwoly.
