m ■■ Well lolke, the grid leaeon le over. ■eai Most of'us sat by out radios on New Years day and heard the Tarious bowl games, llie best game of the day, according to sportcaeters add sport writers, was the Qrange bowl game at Miami when Miami varsity defeat ed Holy Cross by a touchdown made in the final seconds of the game. • • • • The Rose Bowl wasn’t even close, Alabanout running over a weak Tro^n team. Other bowl games came out Just as the experts said they would. * * • • • Oklahoma Aggies defeated St. Mary's, Qrorgia whipped Tulsa, Wake Forest downed South Carolina, Texas downed Missouri and East and West played to a tie game in Frisco.- • « • • In the Alabama-Southern Cal. game is was Gilmer all the way, tl}e Birm ingham lad passing the Trojans dlxzy. The score was 34 to 14 and California was lucky to get the two touchdowns. • • • • The WalM Forest Deacons romped to a 34 to 14 win over the Carolina Gamecocks. i • • • • In the Pee Dee bowl at Florence between Florenc,e High and a picked team from the Fee Dee area, Florence won 13 to < before 6,000 fans. • • • • It was a substitute, a former Miami high player, who won for the Hurri- canes in the Orange bowl. With only a few seconds o( playing time remain ing in the game and the scoro tied at 6 all, A1 Hudson intercepted a Holy Cross pass and raced 89 yards for a touchdown. As lie raced over the goal line the gun ended the game. The extra point was made and the game was ove^. , • • • • Which goes to prove that the old saying that the game isn't over until the last man is out applies to football as well as baseball or any other sport. Holy Cross, knowing that but seconds of play remained, did not reckon with fickle Dame Fortune. They were down at the threshold of the Miami goal and elected to pass. It was a sad sad mistake. Sport writers who covered the game admltt^ that the best team lost the game. « • • • Speaking of basketball—we hope the local high program gets under From tks tklppsFs Dssli way soon. Arthur Robinson, baseball, basketball, football and pool shark, is getting in some fancy licks work ing as basketball referee in nearby towns where the sport has been^in action for somd weeks. • • « s We hope the citizens sport commit tee continues to function and that plans to place the baseball park in shape for high school. Legion and town baseball are carried out.

Belks Department Store is opening an en tire new floor for Womens apparel and ready-to-wear. This will- be on the second floor of their present building and is expected to be in bus iness in the near future. The redec oration of the Court Inn, insld,e and out, has been accompllshel with ex- cellMit results. We are informed that their reserratioh list is full for sev eral months to come. Camden’s cry^ ing need is for more hotel accommo dations. Reservations and Inquiries for extended vis'lts to our charming community have to be turned down or redirected dally. We are in a posi tion to resume our prominent place among Southern resorts with little effort except for the fact that the hotel accommodations are not avail able. This situation is worthy of con siderable thought on the part of our business leaders.* The Camden and Kershaw County Chamber of Com- merce will be glad to cooperate in any ideas or efforts' aldng this line. The consideration of the removal of the South Carolina Penitentiary from its present site in Columbia in dicates that there may be some poesi- bility of the new site being located In kershaw county. The State al- relMy owns large acreage in Kershaw and Sumter counties in the Boykin section. It is quite feasible that the new plant would be placed there in conjunction with the preeent State Farms. Public opinion to the contrary, it has been found that these institu tions usually make quite good neigh bors. Almost every one is ready to talk about progress but what Camden needs more of is people who are ready to act. Back your Chamber of Commerce!
