The brain-trusters are putting out some wavfs of optimism and are predicting that the boys are going places and will win at least eight or nine of the 11 scheduled games. We hope they are right • • • • Irrespective of the final score, you <•811 always figure on a swell exhlbl- tlon of play. The Bulldogs have a reputation of putting on a real show in tha.t respect and this year's team will be no exception*^to this rule. « • • • By the way. wt met a newspaper chap from Mullins over In Colunihia last week and Mullins Is going to have anoth«‘r “wond< r team” as he ex pressed it. He pulled that old 1944 argument out of the bag by asking me why Camden was afraid to meet .Mullins last year. To which 1 re plied with the same word that Oen. McAuliffe use^ when the Nazi asked him to surrender. - • • • • ' He told me that Coach Kdgar Cox Is again at the helm up at Mullins, it being his third year. In his first year Cox's team won tour and. lost four. But even at that they won the dis trict ohamplonsh'p. I.,a8t year his charges won the state B title by racking up 11 wins without a defeat or tie. • • • • It might be of interest to local fans to know that Mullins would like to play Camden this year. Not much chance, however, as Camden's sched ule Is filled. Camden and Kershaw county fans are assured of a real football struggle on that^ opening game between the Bulldogs and the Brookland-Cayce team. In fact the boys from West Columbia have the idea that they are going to upset the dope bucket and the first lime in history, defeat the Bulldogs. • * • • A lot of the local fans will toss this , off with a grii\ and perhaps a. muttered •‘nuts,’ but listen to tWs— right fro mthe B.-'C. training camp. Coach .McConnell of the;^R.-C. team has eight veterans ofThe 1944 team back. He has .15 bays out for train ing. His backfield is the same as last year's. Cuv Epps, all-southern choice last year, Is there and will have the help of Billy Belch, a special ist blocking, Bobbey Senn, a 175 lb. artist at passing and punting and a lad wHh lota of speed, and Bun Cun ningham, In the tailback spot.

Few CpiriplaintB' Regisfered From LocjJ Welfare Group Hawe Made Splendid Record For 6 Months Only three fetters of “complaint sud inquiry" were sent to the State Department of Public Welfare from Kershaw County during the six ra Dnth8 ending June 30 according to formation furnished by State Olrec «nr Arthur B. Rivers to the county welfare board. ‘The number of such communications has steadily declined for several years, indicating, accord ing to Mr. Rivers, that the county staff has been notably successful in acquainting th^ public with the re quirements of the public welfare law. “The staff thaj Is careful and patient,” Mr. Rivers said, “in explain ing te an applicant why he is not eligible under the law for the as sistance he is seeking, or why the amount he receives is not larger, will have ftwer complaints addressed tq higher officials than the staff that dismisses the bewildered applicant or recipient by merely quoting the law and regulations and letting it go kt that." A larger proportion of complaints and inquiries are addressed > to the President, the Governor, and mem bers of Congress, but all are forward ed to the state director of public wel fare for attention.
