ybe Bulldogs returned to tlielr na
live hearth last Saturda>1^ The boys
spent t€n days at Camp Mondamhi
near Tuxedo, N. C.. and are In rug
ged shape to get down to the final
crueling workouts bertre the opening
of the football season next Friday.

There Is a lot of guessing on the
.part of the fans as to Just what kind
of a team Camden will have this com
ing season. 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

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.
