thia waak with a tew ranuudea abovt
the sport of folt, dedicating saaM to
the new presldant of the Camden
.golf club. John M. Vllllplgna.
Oolf la a game in which a ^ball 1 1*3
Indhea In diameter la placed on an
other ball that If 8,000 milaa In dia
meter. The Object of the game la to
hit the small ball bat not the large
one. ^—
Well ^It iQOka as if the baseball pro
gram in Camden baa taken a noae
dire Into obNrlon. Unless there la a
change of heart on the part of the
Legfcm athletic comnilttaa, Camden
will not hare a Junior Legion team
this year. The same may prove true
of the state leagne team.
Football in Camden became a
peak feature of Camden sports—but
not until nlEht gambs were provided.
It la true that Camden had some out
standing teams for years before llidtta
were Installed at Zemp, Meld, but the
big crowds came wheO night games
were played.
The same Is true of the baseball
situation. No one cares to go out to
the baseball lot and sit In a mis
placed grandstand exposed to the rays
t of Old 8bl. And besides a great' ma
jority of the baseball followers have
to work afternoons.
‘
^ The dty bee offered to give f2,000
to a fund to install lights. That la
more, we are told, than any other dty
in the Palmetto league has done.
State nieatre
r, a c
Seems to ns thaW the school district
should contribute handsomely to a
light fund. The high school team
would use the field daring April and
May and into June. The Legion Jun
ior outfit would use it daring part
of May, all of June and part of July.
A city team would use it during June,
July and part of Augua^ .
We feel sorry for the growing
youth of Camden. The town is full
of parks and some of the parks have
tennis courts—but what courts? No
one who gets miy ehjoyment out. of
playing on courts that are complete
messes. Broken down backstops, wire
all rusted or ripped out. Court' sur
faces like plowers fields.
Up in the park area near the Spai^
ish War .monument, tre saw nurse
maids sitting on an old plank that
waa reatlng- on some boards. What
ever kappenOd to the many benches
that Wylie Sheom had Instafted at
various points throughout the city as
''share your car” seats during the
war? Our guess is that they have
gone the way of the fences ab the
football and baseball lots.
'The. growing boys and girls - of
Camden are its future assets. Good
healthy outdoor recreation is a build
er of strong minds and bodies. We do
not believe there is another city in
South Carolina that is so lacking in
outdoor recreation and sport faeni-
ties as Camden. We ought to feel
ashamed.
Out at the polo game Sunday we
had a chance to chat with Sid Smith,
who returned to Kirkwood field to
witness (he sport that he was so out
standing in nearly two score years
ago. £

“Sam, YouVe’Got
A Beer Bush Here”
Sam and Paulette Boykin telllns
visitors at their beautiful home near
Camden of the neighborhood furorq
that arose when they pruned back a
huge rose bush which nearly ob
scured the front of the house
Sam whacked it down to a three-foot
stump and says it took tour men
three days to clear away the cuttings
. . . Proudly surveying the effects,
he was somewhat mollifidl by toe
onslaught of crittotam from neighbovu
who told him t^ rose both bad been
the pride of that part of the country
for many years. . . . Sam and Paulette
who only recently acquired the house,
prefer to think about the renuBk
one visitor made recently when view
ing the white eap oosing from toe
amputated remains: “Sam, you’ve got

The immediate leaaon from the re
cent Ruslan nsgotlations is that we
mast keep Amertda strong — pkF-
akally, Intellectaally and especially
spiritually. Tkis is the only wuy to
“win the peace.”
WorM Faces and Edueatton
A price must be paid tor everything
we accept In tha case of Uie most
worthwhile things, this price taclodes
eomething nuich more than money or
what can ba purchased with money.
It' includes eacrifice of lime, energy,
thought and prejudices. This will re
quire radical changes in our achoois
aad collages. There is no short-cut to
world peace.
Of course, t^ first thing which our
educators sbomd do to insure world
peace would be to develop a universal
language^ aocompanled by tha teach
ing of a nniversal history. Thara la

attention to musk. All ^ationa runm^

very practical and available stepping^
stone to the moch-needed universal'
language and hiatory.
But 1 want to emidiaaise somyethlng

Musk can convey thoughts without
words and may do it much bettar toan
words. Musk can develop eonfideaae
or fear, hope or disoourngement, hjee
or hate. Musk may not taka toe
