Each will have.^4 ticket office. There will also be gates on the west side back of -the bleacher section which will connect with the fair grounds. At the south end there will be a gate which will be used only when the baseball season ts on and players are using the lockeA rooms and showers of the football plant. The Jights for the arena will be placed on 70 foot poles and there will be four on each side of the field, each pole being back of the bleachers. The plans as prepared by James and Durant call for a modern up to date football plant, one that will be as good If not better than any in the state. \Vhl!e there are and will ^ larger ones, as the Camden plan calls for and area that will comfortably care for about 6,000 spectators, none will be more modem. The area on fiuIL^treet will be Chronicle Sugfettion For Home U Endoned (CcstlnuMi from first pegs) much better than a state institution "The problem isn’t merely that iheeting their subsistence needs," said. “They bare a right to be sear their friends and acquaintances, in order that they may hare frequent contacts with them.

Mr, Durant of the architectual firm was in Camden last Friday and met with members of the citizens sports committee, who had invited John M. Vllllpigue and others to view the plans. ’There is much enthusiaam on the part of all concerned^ over the venture and all realize that this is Camden’s golden opportunity to se. eyre a recreational plant second to none and at a minimum of expense. In addition to the sponsoring of the football stadium plan, the sports com mittee has already started to get the Camden baseball park in condition for the opening of the high school baseball practice season In March. With the prospects of securing lights for the baseball field, Camden is al most certain to have a complete baseball program thls""year, starting with the baseball icltedule of the high school in April, swinging into the Junior Legion program later and completing the summer with a town team schedule. Coach I^ihdsay Pierce of the high school says he is starting his base ball program from scratch as all of his talent are rookies, none of them ever playing anything outside of cor ner lot kid ball, 'ne high school team will be used as a nucleus for a Junior Legion teanu So far as a town team is concerned, there are some good players who have returned from war service and who will be available for a team. Turning to the winter sports pic ture—It isn’t so exciting. While two horse shows, purely local In char acter, will Im held, and it may be possible to offer a hunters trial ex hibition. prospects for the renewal of the Carolina cup classic appear most remote. And right here it is pertinent to venture the opinion that until Cam den gets a modern fire proof hotel, there appears small chance of any Carolina cup event being offered. As yet there have been no Indications that polo games will prevail this son. MILD and MELLOW 8 O’CLOCK COFFEE 2 41c ANN PAGE ENRICHED Mello-Wheat 28.0X.

They would rather live in a smaller institution near their homes than go to Columbia and be thrown with total strangers. That, for many of them, wonld take away their last interest in life, and they would be lonely and miserable which they do not deserve. A county nurs ing or convalescent home wonld be all righL but such an institution to serve two or more counties could be much more efficiently and econom ically operated. ’This method Is,used in maintaining inter-oounty hospitals St several points in the state, and provides far better hospital facilities than a small county can provide for itself.’* Efforts are being made. Mr. Rich ards said, to amend the social seenrity act of Congress so as to permit the' granting of assistance in certain cir. cumstances to persons who reside in public institutions. If this change should be made in the law, the aged and chronically ill could enter a nurs. Ing home if they so desired, and the amount they would receive as old age assistance could be used to pay for the special care they would need. However, if such a change in the law is made, Mr. Richards indicated, it will probably not become effective for several year,, and in the mean time there is no way for such needy persons to secure the care necessary for their well being. An inter-connty convalescent home would provide for them ad for others in need of such care. RICHARDS TELLS BOWLES PRICES ARE NOT SENSE (Continued from first pege) ap- with the price of raw cotton. It pears to me that the group responsi ble for this is the final naanufacturer and wholesale]* of tbe finish^ cotton garment, and that this group should be denied exorbitant profits through your price ceillfig powers. At the present price allowed on al| ordinary work clothes, the cotton ‘ producer should be paid at least 35 cents per pound. To prove this point, I. quote from a letter received from a respon sible constituent who is both a cot ton farmer and a retail merchant: " ‘I plant cotton and also have a farm commissary where we sell cot ton goods. This week 1 received a shipment of men’s cotton pants that cost me 32.07 each ($24.86 per doz.). The ceiling price on tbe pants is $2.98. They weigh 1 lb. 4 oz. (buttons, dye, and starch Included), (^received only 25c for the cotton in tbe«e pants yet I am allowed to make 91c profit on this cotton when sold in my com. missary in the form of pants. It cost me BO much more to produce this cotton tban it does to sell the pants that I can easily see that the two op erations are way out of line as to profit. If the wholesaler and mnu- ;^turer of the pants are allowed to malrer>->^nythlng near one-half the profit tbat I am allowed to make as a retail^ then the old farmer Is get ting a venr bad deal as I see it.’ "FYankly, I do not believe that It will be necessary during 1946 to im pose your proposed cotton price ceil ing. The fact that there is still almost a year’s crop of rauf cotton on hand should ‘ in itself prevent the cotton market from going too high. Mrs. Louis Monte of New York city.
