His nibs asserts that Um man in. the booth across the street hss been in structed to do a little collecting from these traffic Tiolators. « « • • Seems that people t^ho drive down town tp post main in the evening have to park a half block from the post office because of the hoggishness of some motorists. • • • • “What's the use of dreaming Dreams of rosy hue What's the use of dreaming, dreaming Dreams that never will come true?" • V • • " « That little ditty is dedicated to the brave lads of toe citlsens sporto committee, who lost out in their ef fort to put Camden up in the raaks of progressive cities threugh the building of a modern football stad^ium here, * * * * . A meeting of some thirty or more citlsens was held at the recorder’s sanctum last Friday evening at which an architect fropt; Sumter explained the plana he had drawn for a football stadium that would be In keeping with toe prestige of Camden football. • • • * A majority of those present liked toe plans, liked the idea, but the big objection was “where do westet toe cash?” • • • V And that appears to be toe stumb ling block to toe whole plan. The sports commRtee had a flne idea and we wish it could have been poasible for it o have been carried out. Other cities and towns, some of them smaller and Camden, are building new stadiums, baseball plants, etc Camden reafly needs.a new football arena, as the prese'nt affair is about the poorest in the state. • • • • We think the sports fcommlttee should be given a hand for their in tentions. Now they are throu|^ whlcimeavea toa proMrar of BM flat-' ball field rl^t in the lapa of the school trustees. Something must be done with the bleachers at the fMd before another season rolls around.

Right now we are on toe toboggan—listen to what Humphrey F. Finney, editor of The Maryland Horae and field secretary of the Maryland Horse Breeders' SMociation had to tell this writer and Harry Klrkover last week. Says llr. Finney: “In toe years before the war, the trend of toe fine horses was to ward Camden. This year it is toward Aiken.” And until Camden has q snltable hotel where followers of toe eqmes- trnin programs may come and stay, the trend will be away from ua. Camden Ci^rs Battle In State Tonmament BhdieCbaJlI Program Emla Marclk 2~—Tlioa Spring Grid Practice Starts The Camden high school team is entered in toe stlte touniament that is to bo held at toe Sumter high school gymnasium on Thursday; Fri day and Saturday. Feb. 28 and March 1st and 2nd. The Bulldog maple plodders have had a fair season so far. but are not envisioning landing any touma- mmit title. Last week Tuesday, the team swamped the Cheeter cagers at Chester and then jaunted over to Bishopville where the* Dragons of that community banded them a 43 to 20 trouncing. This week Tuesday the team entertained the Sumter Oame- cocks here and tonight they journey to Summerton for a rettirn match with Summerton High. Next iSiesday night Chester plays a return game here, and on the Fri day following go to Darlington to play. The schedule comes to an end with toe Bulldogs taking on Bishop ville here on Feb 26. Following toe state cage jneet% Coach Lindsay Pierce will start his youngsters off on a three weeks spring training football prt^^ram. And during toe last week in March, the baseball candidates will take over. As Pierce has stated before, the baseball program will start from scratch, but it is believed that there is a chance to put a fairly good team In the field. ' By toe way—^we know now why the hoped-for Thanksgiving day home coming game between Camden and Sumter did not materialise. Coach Pierce would have liked to play t^e Qmecocks on turkey day but it seems that for some twenty years the Thanksgiving game between Sumter and Florence hat been a traditional event, and the school trustees of the Sumter Highs could not see their way clear to making any change.
