THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TOWN
If you’d like to live in the kind of town,
like the Idnd of a town you’d like,
You needn’t slip your clothes in a grip,
And take a long, long hike;
You’ll only find what you’ve left behind.
There’s n^ing that’s really new;
. You knock yourself when you knock your town—
it isn’t the town, it’s you!
Real towns are not made by men who’re afraid,
Lest some one else gets ahead.
If everyone worked and nobody shirked,
A town can be raised from the dead.
And if, while you make your personal stake,
’Your neighbor can make one too.
Your town will soon be what you want to see—
It isn’t the town, it’s you!
' FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The recent address of Dr. Maurice Clarke, rector of
Grace Episcopal church before the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs
of this city on the general theme of “Wlhat Camden Needs”
was food for thought on the part of every citizen and taxpay
er who has the welfare of Camden at heart. ^
Dr. Clarke pointed out the obvious diaheaitening lack of
interest on the part of the powers-that-be in the matter of
public welfare. In this respect private enterprise is so far
ahead of the administration that a comparieon is odious.
’'Everybody’s business is nobody’s business” may be an
old axiom, but it serves to remind us that we need a few com
petent, disinterested and well paid men whose sole doncem
shall the affairs of the city, to take over. In a time of pros
perity, such as the present, when the administration does not
unaertake essential services, it is obviously high time that
steps be formulated that will l^d eventually to a consolida
tion and improvement in the municipal government.
Since the old styles of consolidations and commissions
have been found wanting—something new-v-6omd^ing> tried
and true in most instances, should be inaugurated. To wit—
the city manager form of government. "
If ifiiis reasoning is fallacious, screwy, or misleading in
any way, the space for pointing out the fact is open through
the medium of the columns of ^e Chronicle.
Camden is progressive, Camden is growing, industry Is
picking up, CaiMen is building in the American way. But
our public services are woefully inadequate and are lagging
behind. When there is no visdon, when virile leadersMp is
lacking, people eithm* perish—or they do something about it
CRISIS AND THE FARMER
Whenever the people on this earth face a crisis their
thinking gets to fundamentals. Then they worry about ^4
basic necessities of life, about shelter, about getting enough
to eat and drink. *
And at that time the eyes- of the world all turn toward
the farmer.-
It was that iway during the last war and the one before.
It was the same way during the restless peace that came be-
±weem
Today, once again, the *faimer has become a very impor
tant man. Now, with the nations of this earth faced vrith hun
ger and even slow starvation, the farmer is being looked to as
a saviour of humanity and its civilization.
Even in our awn land of plenty there is a tighitening of
belts, a growing concern over future food supplies as this na
tion undertakes to' feefd undernourished Europe and Asia.
The farmer, who, unlike other people has never lost his
touch with earthy things, is the man of the moment. It is in
his hands that destiny has placed the key to the kind of world
that we and our children shall share tomorrow. * f
The world waits anxiously as the farmer goes about
planting his varied strops. The world .watches trustfully as
this same fanner harvests his annual crop of top quality pulp-
wood which will be converted into paper and paperboard to
move his foodstuffs to the far comers of thi* land and to re
mote places all over the earth as well.
The entire world awaits the farmer. He is at one and
the same time, ruler and servant to the people of this earth.^

“Why do I say this? Becatue ‘ in

“In the international ft^d the
greed of a miighty nation and power
Il.tics pr^ail because we too rapid-
Iy'^4|sinte^ated our armed strength.
And. ih^too rapid disintegration of
our forces was largely for selfish
vote getting purposes!
"Thus we need not go abroad to
observe the prevalonce of selfishness.
In the case of our legislators and
administrators the question is not
what is best for humanity and my
nation, but will re-elect me and we
the elector—do not organise and de
mand otherwise.
“And who are we, the electorate,
to cast the first atone? For, among
Us .Is the farmer with 2 and one-half
his prewar Income hoarding grain
and falling to bring it forth in suf
ficient amounts to help feed a starv-
ing world—even when offered a 30
cents per bushel bonus by our gov
ernment. But, Is this worse than the
hoarding of shirts and other clothing
by manufacturers and Industry for
higher prices? Or Is It wona than
when certain Senators try to milk
our Treasury for 90 cents an ounce
on 71 cent silver? Or when LaOuardia
asks the striking miners to mine
emergency coal for UNRRA only ,to
be denied? Black nurkets In meats
and other essentials offer further
evidence of the same nature—too dis
couraging to dwell upon.
“You ask, wherein liee the remedy?
- “Many assert, and among them
some of our greatest? minds and lead
ers, that the'Cure lies only In the
moral regeneration of humanity.
“BSvery professed Christian, in fact
every professed follower of any re
ligion thonld read the address of one
of the greatest preachers of all time,
Harry Ehnerson Fosdlck—^before the
Protestant Connell of the City of New
York—upon the subject of ‘One
World for Religion Too’. In part he
says:
“In one realm after another we
confront this oneness of the world.
Let ns face the fact that this Is one
world for religion too.
“Religion ought to have been the
greatest unlfyl^ force among menr-
one divine power, one moral law, one
famUy of mankind. Instead religion
has been one of the most bitterly
divisive forces in history. One thinks
with sympathy, of that Irishman, sad
dened by the long fend between
Roman Catholicism and Protestanism
in his little Island, who ezclslmsd,
‘Would to God we were all atheisM
so that we could live together like
Christians.' And again Rev. Fosdlck
says:-—‘JSome Jday. _ a book.: mhst 4)a
prepared by Catholics. Jews and Pro
testants, presenting to ^Lmerlcan
youth in the schools the spiritual
heritage of our Western World, not
as propaganda hut as basic know
ledge. If they are to understand gven
where our democracy came from and
what It means.” In his address Rev
erend Fosdlck tells that, ‘One day
Lloyd George, driving thru North
Wales with a friend, said to him,
“The church I belong to is tom with
a fierce dlsphte. One section says
that baptism Is in the name of the*
Father, the other that It Is Into tha
name of the Father. I belong to oiia
of these parties. I feel most strongly
about It. I would die for It. in fact—
but I forget which It Is.’ ”
f“JBut Reverend Fosdlck would not
reArlct a -united moral and splrltunl
effort to only the Christian faiths—
he would also Include such rellgtims
as Buddhism and Mobammsdisai,
which. In the ethical realm at least
he regards as almost Identical with
Christianity.
“It Is 'not difficult to envlskm a
war free world If such a united effort
upon the part of all religion could bs
made to prevail
“The effort along this line could
well be applied first in this Nstkst

Camden Bows To
Sumter In Extra
Innings 8 To 7
Stupid base running and failure to
toss in a relief hnrler to take over
for Caulder cost the Camden pale
hose an 8 to 7 defeat at the hands of
the Sumter State leaguers Wednesday
afternoon In a 18 Inning game.
A crowd estimated at between 800
and 1000 fans saw the Sox mess up
scoring opportunities repeatedly
through base running strategy that
verged on the grandstand order.
Camden started the game with a
rush scoring three runs on two hits,
a sacrifice and two Sumter errors
in the first Inning. Sumter scored two
in the fourth on Gordon’s homer with
one aboard and added the tying run
in the fifth on two hits, an error and
a sacrifice Mow. Tha visitors forged
ahead in the eighth when with one
down Gordon tripled and Bpps doub
led as the Camden iaam blew up.
Camden had seored nms In the flftt
and sixth and tied up the gams in
the ninth on hits by Robinson and
Mims. In the twelfth Gordon again
trlppled after Geddtegs had reached
first on an error. Gordon then seor
ed on Mathis’ single. Camden came
within one of tying the score in the
last of the 12th when Canlder singled
and scored,Cox’# doubla Art
Robinson ran for Caulder.

Following close npoB the' Derby
success of Asiiault, a South CarMlna
trained horse, comes word that South
Carolina horses are making a name
for themselves in the Jump race pro
gram already under way on the lead
ing eastern courses.
The first Jump race of the season
at Belmont Park in New York found
Kent Miller’s War Battle, trained In
Camden the past winter, winning the
iBlle mid a half race over nine hurdlee.
War Battle jcarrled high welgM, 158
pounds,-In a field of six.
War Battle forced the pace all t^
way and taking the lead Just befoiw
the last Jump beat Mat, the favored
,entry from the Mrs. F.- Ambrose Clark
stable by three lengths. War Battle
ran the distance in 2:60 3-5 and paid
17.10.
It will be remembered that Mat,
the dark horse with F. Kratx np won
the Baron DeKalb race at the Victory
meet on April 6. This was a -mils and
a half over hurdles, the same dis-
tahoe and type of race that War
tie Won at Belmont park.
In the Springdale cup race In Cam
den a Kent Miller entryJ Battle
Cruiser finished third with Picture
Prince, a Weir entry second. Lan-
castran. an Ambrose Clark entry, won
the feature race but It was Itettls
Cruiser that gave the spectators the
thrills, leading naarly Gie entire route
and faltering after the last Jump on
a stumble.
