Tb« Chronicle hi In receipt of an
. intecesting letter from 8.1-c Harold
J. McNineb. who U stationed at the
TJnited States Naral Air station in
which he discusses the recent plea
of the Skipper for a modern recrea
tional plant in Camden.
And Sgt. Mi'N'inch suggests an en
tlrety new lo<.atiun for a foolball,
baseiball and sports arena. Several
letters received from men in the
service regarding the snggeetion of
The Chronicle eporta scribe approved
a memorial filed in the area near the
Seaboard station. Some thought that
a well laid ont recreation park, sur
rounded by a cyclone steel fence, cov
«rsld with vln€« would make a fine
addition to the nren just west of the
new armory. Others favored the ares
used as a polo field. One writer sug
gested the Kirkwood polo field as the
location for a polo, baseball and foot
ball field.
Bnt Set McNiach has another place
in view. But wall let him tell his
own story. His latter follows:
“Dsar Skipper. I read yonr sports
eolnmn each m<mth with much tntar-
eit and IrSh fl ‘UrnsTUlcr-lir temr-t
was particulariy interested in tha one
in the paper of August k, wherein yoa
offered a proposal-for a new location
for the football and baseball park.
“I would Ilka to put In my own two
cents worth. It a change could be
made and I agree with you fully that
it should, why not consider the field
just beyond the Southern tracks on U.
S. Highway No. 1 on the left side go
ing toward the* Hermitage mill. I
think the land belongs to Moultrie
Bums. There is, or was, s green
house and nursery located there. To
me that is the ideal location for the
sporting sctlvitise of Camden. There
is also plenty of room for a fair
grounds. It is much nearer to town
than the present location on South
Broad street and it is Just right to
draw large crowds from the mill
villages. The two mill villages have
contiibuted greatly to Camden in
sporting talent and they deserve some
consideration In a project like this.
“I also agree with you, when yon
say that sports wfU take on new life
after this war is over and I for one
will be glad to see it. I think this
snggested project of yours, if carried
through. Will mean a great deal to
Camdhn.
‘‘Best wiahes to you,
‘'Harold McNinch.”
