side of the field. 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

I wnll apply to the South
Carolina Tax Commiaaion for
a license to operate a retail

graded and surfaced with cinders and
then parking areas will be laid ouL
'The unsightly woodyard at the com
er of Bull and Broad streets Is to be
eliminated and will be used for a
parking addition. The squares at each
corner described in the Kershaw deed
as park areas will also be converted
Into places for the parking of cars.
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.

these aged people. 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.
