A PERSONAL WORD
Before coming to Camden, 1 was assured by friends
elsewhere who had formerly lived here or who were
well acquainted with the town that I would find it,
in the words of the Chamber of C^ommerce booklet,
“a good place to play-work-live”. The cordial wel
come that has been given me on every hand convinces
me that these friends knew w'hat they were talking
about.
T have come here to be a part of the town and
county. I want to contribute all that I can in my
humble way_to their progress. -- ,
I have the utmost confidence in the future of
Camden. I have a feeling'that great things are in
store for it and that a great era is about to dawn for
ih If I can be of any service in helping to bring this
about I shall be very happy.

A VERY COMMENDABLE PROJECT
Announcement that the new steel fence sur-
' rounding the north end west sides of the Kershaw
county fair grounds will be beautified will be re
ceived with very genuine pleasure on all sides and it
is to be hoped that there will be a generous response
on the part of the public to the request for the dona
tion of cuttings.
The area around the fair grounds can be made
most attractive if the committee which is appointed
to carry out the proj^t is given wholehearted sup
port Tliere are many visitors to' Camden who come
here for football games and the fair and other events
held at the fair grounds who do not see much else of
Camden. The beautification of this area will make
^em form a most favorable impression of the city
and fill them with a desire to see more of it.
. BUILDING MEN
In a sermon to the football squad of the Camden
High School last Sunday night Rev. O. F. Mont
gomery, pastor of the First Baptist church, stressed the
fact that while all Camden is proud of the fact that
the high school has a winning team, it is even prouder
of the fact that it has a clean team, one that does not
play dirty football.
In this respect as well as in its winning qualities
the present team is living up to Camden tradition.
Camden teams have always been noted for their
splendid sportsmanship. They have demonstrated
that a team does not have to play dirty football in
order to Vrin games.
It is good to know that a Camden High product,
one of which the town is justly proud has been carry
ing on in the true Camden tradition. Hugh Cox, who
played brilliantly for Camden High and later for the
University of North Carolina, is now coach of the
Tarlboro High School football squad and the Daily
Southerner of Tarboro took occasion the other day to
pay him a very high and deserved compliment.
In an editoftal the Tarboro paper said :
‘Today the Daily Southerner will caat aside its custom of not
meptioninK persons by name in its editorial columns and pause
to pay tribute to Coach Hugh Cox of the Tarboro High School
eleren, one football mentor who places the building of men above
winning football games.
“Ehirly in last night’s encounter, a Tarboro player was ejecied
for what was termed unsportsmanll&e conduct, or In other words
}ust plain cussing. At half time the Tarboro coach delivered the
usual football oration, pausing to reflect on individual players. But
be also took considerable time to demonstrate with his team cn
their attitude on the field, warning them ‘the next man who swears
on the field will be.,tossed off the team'.
“And the local mentar wasn’t Just bluffing. Earlier this season
ho dropped a man who broke training rules, a man who meant, a
great deal to the chances of the team. Yes Coach Cox realises the
real importance behind high school athletic teams lies in the build
ing of character, the building of wholesome citizens, the building
of Christian men, able to meet the challenge of the world without
flinching, without wavering.
“He is to be commended for his actions. In these days when
football ranks first on most college agendas and schola.stic ability,
all too often, ranks second, the coach who brandishes a high code
of ethics is indeed hard to find. To that man should go the plaudits
of the mob, the praise of the sporting public. In that man is found
that rare gift, true sportsman blood.
“There is an old saying, whose author we’ve forgotten, which
includes these words, ‘When the Great Scorer comes. He’ll count
not the games we’ve won or lost, but how we played the gAiiie’.
All too often most of us are so intent upon winning that we forget
all about a cod^ of ethics. When we lose we are hard losers.
We give no quarter during the game and we concede none after
the final whistle has blown.
“Athletics, particularly those played In high school, are meant
to build that competitive spirit, but at the same time also f*ve
root to the backbone that builds real men. A business man who
reaches success through hard work is one of whom we can all
be proud. But a man who reaches success at the expense of his
neighbor, his friend is one to be scorned. To clinb fh the heights
of success by stepping on others is to compare a thief with a
practicing Christian.
“FYonr little episodes like warning against cussing on a foot
ball field are built great men. Those who abide by the rules are
the best players. Those who insist upon that code are the best
leaders. Yes, Tarboro can indeed be proud of iu Coach Hugh Cox.
a builder of men.”
And Camden, likewise, can be proud of Hugh
Cox and proud of the fact that Camden football play
ers are generally noted for their fine sportsmanship,
something that is instilled into ^em in their high
sehool.
JAYCES HAVE GONE A LONG WAY
The Jayces have added much to the City of
Camden.
One of the latest additions is the huge welcome
sign to the City of Camden. This billboard is con-
s^cted just this side of the overhead bridge. It is
quite an attractive piece of work and adds much to
entrance of the city.
The organization was again successful in the
Santa Claus parade which they brought to town last
year. This was such a successfur project that it is
being sponsored again this season by the Junior
Chamber of Commeree.
^ .AUibe present time the jmmben this^oung
erganlzation are being instrumental in promoting a
dty management plan. The Junior Chamber of Com
merce has done well—Wt with them success in all

have attracted," said Douglas
Montgomery, president of the
Tuberculosis aasociation. “Re
quests for material regarding these
progranui have come from all sec-
tiona of the state, including Caro

have sought Information about or-
ganisatioD ot the. program, about
methods and promotion procedures,
and about record forms used.” Mr.
Montgomery farther stated that
such requests have become so
numerous that ttfe State Tubercu
losis association has volunteered to
