THE CAROLINA CUP AND CAMDEN
The large attendance upon the Carolina. Cup day
events Saturday 'was most encouraging. After all such
affaim mean the outlay of considerable mortey, and
the main source of revenue must be the gate receipts,
through generosity of public spirited enthusiasts made
g ossible the renewal of the famous steeplechase, and
as played an important role in sustaining it.
This is a wonderful affair that Camden offers
each year. It is becoming to be to spring what the
Carolina-CIemson game is to the fall. Competitive
•port is, of course, the reason for the gathering in both
instances, but it Is the setting that makes them dif
ferent from the usual run of events.
. It required the full cooperation of a good many
people to make arrangements for Saturday's 'races,
and to all of them credit, but we are sure none of them
would feel slighted if we picked out Harry D. Kirk-
over for special compliment. He knows how, and he
takes great interest in the perfection of all details. To
him, we tip our hat.
Remarkable it is that in the 15 years of modern
steeplechasing at Springdale there has. been on ,8cct_
dent to a spectator within the enclosure. This shows
arrangements have been made well. This record be
speaks the work of officers in handling traffic, and
evidences proper precaution to protect visitors from
“the charging horses, and so on. This is one affair, at
least,, where overjoyed crowds do not bulge onto the
field or track as the afternoon wears on. We wish foot
ball fans would be as careful and considerate.
Last year’s attendance was probably over-esti
mated. But not so this year. It is very hard to say how
many po.nplp, see the rac_e8j the crowd is so scattered,
but 15,000 is a conservative figure for 1947. And what
a well dressed, gentile, decorous assembly it was and
what a gracious host was Camden?
Now for next year. Perhaps by 1948 it will be
feasible to resume the Carolina Cup, itself. We should
by then be sufficiently away from the^ war, during
which so few steeplechasers were trained, to have
worthy competition for this historic trophy. We hope
so, anyway. But if it can’t be arranged, the day will
still be attractive. For it is more than racing that
makes those Who enjoy Camden on Carolina Cup day
look forward to going again.—^The State.

By M^NB NETTLES

Mrs. B. W. Heath Has
Interesting Story In
Ladies Home Journal
The Ladies Home Journal for
April, Just out. carries as one of
its leading features an article by
Aloise Buckley 'Heath (Mrs. 'Ben
Heath) of Caihden and St. Peters
burg, Fla. Mrs. Heath, daughter of
Mr.‘and Mrs. Wliitom P. Buckley at their winter place, “Mostly Hall",
of Camden and 8haron„ Conn., is
now Tlslting her parents at their
winter home here.
The article, interesting and well
written, tells of the busy day of a
young housewife, who most cook,
clean up, and tend baby, to fill her
time from early morning until late
at night. For 14 hours, she says,
the housewife has work on her
hands‘but nothing on beV mind
attending.
is to get something on her mind ••uah.rawr m*
and "the question Is, what?" She
narrowed the field, and finally dis
cusses the radio serial or, as they
are called, the soap -opera, and
comes up with a good Word for this
form of entertainment as an escape
for the over-worked housewife who
can listen as she toils. To tell more
would not be fair to those who will
read the story themselves.
This Is Mrs. Heath’r first story.
In fact, the first time she ever of
fered one for sale, but the editors
of The Ladies Home Journal have
indicated they would like to hear
ffom her again.
