Camden has been given the op
portunity of being V the training
camp for the All-America Girls
Basebajl league.
The Camden Newt Service on
Wednesday 'received an inquiry
relative to the league taking over
the Camden baseball park for
ppring training activities of 200
girl athletes during the month of
April.
Camden waa recommended on
the All-American Baseball league
by Wilton Garrison, sports editor
of the Charlotte Observer, who in
a letter to the News Service stated
♦hat such a program would be the
hlegest from a publicity standfiolnt
♦hat (Tam'den had ever put before
tho public.
He called/attention to the nation
wide scope ofj the All-America
Vague and how the games were
broadcast by radio and television
lad pictured In th© news reels. The
‘raining -activities here would, he
nolnted out, feature news stories
by name sport writers of the na
tion, news reels pictures, etc.
The News Service turned the
•etter over to the Chamber of Com
merce and Mrs. Kathleen Watts,
cxecutlvp secretary, stated that It
would have her immediate atten
tion.
The fact that some 200 girl
players would come here appears
It this time to be the big stumbling
block to a successful fruition of
the plan, for the reason that Cam
den is not in a position to house
♦hat many, unless private hop^s
were utilized. One baseball en
thusiast suggested that the bar-
tacks at the Sontbem Aviation
school could be used, but here,
ngain, it is pointed out that the
barracks are without the necessary
(.quipment, such as bedding, etc.

At the annual meeting of the
Sons of the American Revolution
held in Columbia, Dr. John W. Cor
bett, Dr. Carl A. West, Col. Slg-
mont C.’“vonTreackow and Dr.
Francis Eugene Zemp (native of
Camden) were named to the state
board of directors.
General Charles P. Summerall,
president of The Citadel, and for
merly chief of staff of the USA,
was elected president and Gover
nor J. Strom Thurmond was elect
ed vice president.
A. Herbert Foreman, president-
general of the naUonal society was
the guest speaker at* the luncheon
and urged that Americans act on
‘principles of tolerancy, loyalty
end freedom In winning the peace’
and that subversive Influemc be
sought out and el!/ilnated wher
ever found.
Mrs. Foreman and the wives of
•he members, most of them mem
bers of the D. A. R., were invited
*o the luncheon In the Hotel Colum
bia and were complimented by the
speaker as "Big Sisters” and asked
to cooperate in bringing husbands
i-nd sons In the S. A. R. orgnnlia-
♦lon. The alms of the S. A. R. and
'he D. A. R. are the same, "Ameri
canism and a truer, finer America
and world."
