Extends Thanks
Through the courtesy of the editor
of the Camden Chronicle I take great
pleasure in thanking all who contrib
uted to the success of the Christmas
seal drive of J945 which demonstrat
ed what can be accomplished when
one, or a group, has a mind to suc
ceed.
I also beg to say that a drive Is
only one play In the great task that
lieg ahead.
We are living In an age where we
dare not attempt to stand alone. We
have tried to do our best in the war
which we hope is over, and we are
Just as determined to help hold the
line in the present crisis of reconver-
. alon. We have made a good.play but
T there is still more beyond, and we
'ftjand ready to do,our bit as we are
mindful of the fact that one of the
greatest assets In the crisis we now
face Is the health of the nation.
Very respectfully,
Dr. J. P. Pickett.

Catatpaign Is A
Record Breaker
r
Breaking all records lor voluntary
enlistment, the Army’s current world
wide recruiting campaign baa passed
the half million mark, it was an
nounced recently by Major General
H. N. Gilbert, USA, Director of
Military Personnel Procurement Ser
vice, an activity of the Adjutant Gen
eral’s Office which is charged with
the recruiting campaign.
“Never /before has there been an
active army of volunteers as large
as our present 'R e g u 1 a r Army
strength,” General Gilbert stated.
“Recruiting over one half million men
in four months is an achievement un
equalled in the history of the* Coun
try. “The nation can well be proud of
the young men who are enlisting in
the Army today for it indicates a
kafiA' appreciation by the young men
of qur country in the opportunities
offe^ ny our new Regular Army.
In our new Army, high type, intelli
gent young men have an opportunity
to use their knowledge, ability, am
bition and achievement in technolog
ical advancements to become trained
technicians. The Signal Corps of the
Army recently contacted the moon by
radar, and the Surgeon General'a,
Office of the Army recently dissected
the brain of Dr. Ley, ooted Nazi. In
peacetime the Army is to ^the fore
front in discoveries that effect the
technological advancements of the
nation as a whole.”
“However”, General Gilbert added,
“we have a long way to go to reach
our goal. We must maintain this en
listment rate In order to replace the
men of long and arduous war ser
vice who are being returned home as
rapidly as possible. At the same time,
we must maintain our military
strength to meet our requirements to
support our position in world affairs,
for occupational and clean-up forces,
our own oversecu garrisons, our Air
Force, and for our military establish
ment at home. About seventy percent
of the men, who have enlisted are
those originally entered in the Army
through Selective Service. The re
mainder Is divided between men who
nerer wore the uniform before and
fonner Regular Army men who re-en-
list. Thus our Regular Army will have
the benefit of good age balance,
combining experience with vigor and
enthusiasm of youth.”
About fifty-five percent of the men
now Volunteering have enlia^ for
a period of three years. Thisyis re
garded, as significant becauae^vit In
dicates thft the great majority of
men now volunteering for the Regular
Army plan to make it a career, or
at least to stay in over a fairly long
period.
The U. S. Army Recruiting office

David Williams, Jr., Jack Daniels,
Carl Lightfoot, who played every,
chucker and Cyril Harrison and Mc
Dermott, who alternated during the
six periods of play, out on a brand
of polo that was almost mid-season in
skill.
An Augusta battle line led by Jim
Minnick fought hard but that after
noon they were completely outclasa.
ed. Joe Batee, who was in an Augusta
uniform, got a big hand from the
crowd. Joe was always a big favorite
in years back before the war when he
played with the Camden squad.
Scoring for Camden was Williams
with 8 goalSv Daniels with 3, Light-
foot with 2, and McDermott with 1.
One of the outstanding features of
the afternoon entertainment was the
fine play by play account of the
gaipo over the public address system
by Thomas Daniels of St. Paul, Minn.,
a Camden winter resident, father of
player Jack Daniels and himself an
enthusiastic player. It was by far the
most interesting and accurate play by

Kirkwood l^ld and we reilhember
Chris Wood.' Chris, a good speaker
and a fellow who knew how to stir up
his listeners, was always good but
we still maintain that Mr. Daniels
was better. He knows tbe game and
there's your atory. ’
C!harley (Bubber) DuBoae was the
