The Revelers, world-re nowned male quartet, found an appreciative audience among the Camden Com munity Concert members Tuesday night as they pre sented the curtain-opener of the season's three concert performances. The concert ranged from a mus ical grouping of four of Shakes peare's most delightful songs, to a medley of fresh tunes from the current smash hit, “South Paci fic.” Spirituals, old favorites, and smooth translations rounded out the program into a well- rounded evening of music. The quartet, which haa in concert in every state of the U. S. A. and in practically all provinces of Canada and foundland, was composed of well trained voices, sack ©{ which ‘ and equipment haa been quickly broken, Mrs. Boykin said, “That is Just one instance of the need for supervision of the play grounds.

The order went forth from the office of the city manager Tues day afternoon and involves park ing violations in yellow marked zones and particularly in front of the post office. Quite a num ber of motorists who have “snitching” by parking in prohibited zones nea and alley intersections found themselves being penalized by stern-faced police officers who were deaf to the pleas for “Just one more chance.” For some time past citizens who have occasion to visit the post office in the evening have had to park their cars at soma dist ance from that building because of all spaces being bccu ‘ can of people who were ing the movies. Some of the more negligent motorists even left their cars In zones where parking is under the bra at all times. These found that it cost them $2, where as those who parked over the ten minute period in front of the poet office got by for $1. Chief Rum, in instructing his staff in regard to the order from the city manager stressed that in the future arrests will be made for all violations of the parking id traffic regulations. Driven of trucks who have been accustomed to pulling up in front of stores to make de livery of merchandise found that ghey were in conflict With the law also, the chief having ordered that all deliveries must be made at back doors of business houses in the future. The only excep tion is where there isn’t any back door, such as liquor stores. In the long list of offenden who felt the whiplash of the new order the big majority accepted the penalty with grins and said ■rtWMiiteing about “never again” but there were instances of rebel lion. The police however wax* adamant in their determination to enforce the provisions of the law and none escaped payment of fines.
