pressions can be deceptive. Cam
den is more than that, much more.
Within easy walking distance of
the main intersection there is a
colony of Uvlah estates that are
something to gawk at. There is
nothing like it south of Ocean Drive
In Newport, R. I., and Newport
does ‘not have the wisteria, nor
asales.
For the most part these estates
are owned by Yankees or Dam-
yankees. There still is a subtle dif
ference. In illustration: Leon
Scblosburg, the inn keeper, #as
asked about the quail hunting pos
sibilities in the Camden area.
“There is none,” be said, 'the birds
are plenty bat the Damydnkees
have posted all of the land.
"This is a resort town, but not in
a flamboyant manner. The horsey
set hibernates here. It is done with
out chrome and neon signs. A Tan-
kee named R. L. Barstow out of
Boston, a city in Massachnsetts,
started it in 1898. Camden has had
polo ever since. The ball players
who are the Providence Chiefs
watcl^ Camden play polo in open-
mouthed adoration every Sunday.
The polo players spend their even
ings watching the Chiefs play ex
hibition baseball
Camden, like most of the United
States, had a hard winter. Carolyn

way.

Chiefs have trained in Camden.-At
the beginning of last season they
were housed in Coart Inn. which
dispenses bospitslity la the grae-
ious manner for which the South
is Justly celebrated. The hitch was
that the clamping of IS pairs of
leather heels along the ancient cor
ridors made for noises which were
displeasing to the ogier gneats
who. had come for a rest.
The boss lady of Court Inn sug
gested that ail hall players he
equipped with rubbers to ease the
situation. The Chiefs found it more
practical to move to the Hotel Bars-
field where Leon-Wants-to-See-Tou
Schlosburg greeted them with open
arms.
The Hotel Sarsfleld was then in
a state of renovation. The 1947
Chiefs had it pretty good, but not
like now. There was not so much
as a dining room then. There is
now, complete with a menu and
prices like you would find in a big*
city. The ball players do not have
to scan the prices. They run their
forefingers down the list until they
find steak or roast beef and sign
their names,to the checks..It is as
simple as' that. No other bush
leaguers have had it so good. And
the food, like .the wisteria is won
derful, except**for the coffee. But
then, the coffee is bad throughout
the Sottfti, inclttding New Orleand.
In giving'the Hotel Sarsfleld the
"New Look,” Leon Included a main
door of i^ass. His door is kept
scrapulously clean, so clean that it
Is invisible. Casualties to date em
brace two traveling salesmen and
George Bishop. The dynamic Mr.
Bishop never goes any place except
in a bnrry. He was paged off the
street take a long-distance call.

On Friday it wan announced that
the doPont interseta had selected
Camden as the site tor a 120,000,000
plastk^Idant. JCvery strmi in town
sounded the glad tidings. The enter
prise will bring 10,000 new faces
to Camden, more thim doubling the
city’s population. That means a
larger police force, more school
teachers, more seats in the ball
park, a larger watm* supply. How
does Camden face such a crisis?

For the family which has but one motor
car—Pontiac is an extremely wise choice.
First, it ir big and beautiful. You can
drive it anywhere, any time, with the cer
tain knowledge that it wrill be admired. It
also gives you the comfort you want, and
'need. It is safe, too—because it has big,
sturdy brakes —and remarkable balance on
toms and curves. It provides the perform-
