We cannot afford to falL While It is very true that for many of us the war is over. There is no more anxiety, no more heartache; no more annoying inconveniencea, no more rattoaing, eftepting sogar. But the war is not over for your Red Cross. Nor for those who look to It for aid and comfort. The war is not over for thonsands of our veterans wao will spend the months and years to come In hospi tal beds. When you give to the Red Cross my friends, you give to them. Through some .Gray Lady’s unsel fish service you read to a boy who is blind, write a letter for a boy whose hands have been blown off. Through a trained Red Cross worker you re assure a worried soldier. Find put for him about his wife’s or his child’s Illness and see that they receive care. Ton provide recreation and enter tainment that help wounded veterans fill out'thMr long day of waiting to be weU again. Many veterans, and their tamiliee, need the help, the guidance and as sistance the Rad Cross can give them. Me, women and children in war- ravai^ countries are homeless, cold and hungry. Many of your own peo ple need Instruction and help to over come problems of malnutrition. They receive this help from the Rad Cross. Bvary year in our country, an aver age of hundred disasters, such as fires,“floods, tornadoes and ex plosions destroy property and leave thonsands homeless. Red Cross relief workers are always the first to aid these victims. ’These are bnt a few of the reasons you ahonM glvs ganeronsly to the annual campaign of the American Red Crdss. No matter if yon have already giv en to the Red Cross, you will be do- Ing a noble dnty if you add to yonr contribntlon. Camden and Kershaw connty people have for numy ,gen. erations boasted of their patrk^m, their humanitarian qualities, their desire to aid those less fortunate. They heve always been proud of the exploits of South Carolina’s fineat commnnity in raspondlng to appeals Congressman J. P. Richards is not interested in becoming linked with the Southern Democrats who have lined up prith Republicans to defeat certain measures in the house and frankly da^res that "if Democratic represenCsUves fall for this sqheme they are suckers." Richards, member of the Democrat ic stepring committee, said that he wanted no part in the so-called coali tion of Republicans and Southern Democrats recently formed in the House t^'eombat certain- policies of the administration, including the OPA.. "I am a Democrat and I intend to go along w4th my party whenever I conscientiously can,” said Richards. “When I can’t go along with pro posed le«alation, I shall vote against It as a Democrat -and not as a mem- bar of anv Southern Dmoeratic-Re- The Camden and Kershaw Cham- ha waa nn narf* her Of Commerce has recently con- -iJE. ._j ^ ducted extenslTe Jnveetlgations of de- hydratkm method^ for the Productk)n';?^i;V*f^/S of livestock feeds.

The spring sports program arranged at this resort is at tracting, members of society from many cities and communi ties Throughout the Eastern and Southern states. HundT^s of subscriptions have been received from de votees of riding and hunting for the Victory race meet to be held at the famoius Springdale course, Saturday, April 6. Many states are represented in the flood of reservations al- raady pouring into the office of Harry D. Kirkover, chair man of the Carolina cup committee, sponsors of the Victory meet which will feature six events. Many leading amateur jockeys will be seen in action te the>various races. * The ‘peak program of the 1945-48 season will be ushered in on Satur day. Marph 30, when the Camden horse show, an all-day affair, will be held at the Marion DuPont Scott show grounds. While it is eariy to forecast Just how many fine Jump horses will take part in the various events on the victory Vace meet card, there is reas on to believe that many leading Jumpers in training here, at Aiken and other points will mean a fair sixed field at post time. Following the horse show Saturday, the Camden polo club will stage a line game"^ at Kirkwood field on Sunday, March 81, probably the Devine cup game. An event that packs a lot of interest is the Blpiscopal dog show on Rectorj;^ Square on April 4. After the Victory race meet on April 8, the polo club will offer the first game in the Samuel Russell memorial In- vlt#t|pn tournament at Kirkwood flpld on the Sunday following, Amll 7. The only blight hpon a tine spring sport program ia Camden is the lack of facilities to take care of many hundreds of people who wint to be here for the events. At no time in Camden history has the need for ade quate hotel facUiti^been more keen, ly felt. Only lait ’week a request was received from cme of the most prom inent horse event enthusiasts of the luldwest for accommodations fimn March 24 throuih April 7 had t<k be denied. ’This was unfortunate for the contact would have meant much to Camden.
