/ •T^V & Clinton, S. C., ThursiSay, April 7, THE GLUTTON CHRONICLE Dillon, S. C., is a commun ity that, in part, owes credit for its economy to the trav eling public, in addition to tobacco and other indus tries. For many years, trav elers have streamed down the East Coast on U. S. Highway 301, ^heading for Florida, and they have stop ped at motels and amuse ment attractions in the'Dil- lon-Latta area. Now, with the coming of Interstate 95, which will be the busiest north-south route on the East Coast, Dillon and its surrounding com munities need to find new ways to attract the tourist to their area. The traveler rushing down 1-95 to his des tination in Florida or else where, is going to show little interest in Dillon or any other town, unless there is really some attraction or special recreation area that will stimulate his imagina tion or puriosity. For a long time, of course, Dillon has been the nome of “South of the Border,” one of the South’s most unusual tourist attractions — a com plex of motel, restaurant, gift shop, and amusement facilities. It has for years at tracted many of the north erners headed lor Florida, who have been struck by its clever and unique advertis ing. Curiosity gets the best of most travelers. , Dillon has many possibili ties for building its tourist economy, which include the tobacco market, tobacco fields, historical sites, and Little Pee Dee State Park, which is not far away. All of these can give the city a well rounded appeal to travelers, in combination with new mo tel, restaurant, service sta tion facilities, which are al most bound to come as 1-95 nears completion outside DiL ion. Of course, tourist develop ment takes time, money, and a great deal of organization on the part of civic leaders, but Dillon has the potential and the location. Many other communities would probably trade places with Dillon, as far as ‘‘being in the right place at the right tiijie.” Dillon Has a colorful and interesting history, and the town could develop its poins of interest and historical sites into a guided tour for visitors. Steps were taken at one time to do this, in con nection with the county’s Semi - Centennial celebration “The Golden Land,” which was held in 1960. ' “Golden Land” was writ ten by the well-known pag eant writer, Kermit Hunter, ad it portrayed the area’s history and development. In connection with it there were special days — Agriculture Day, Industrial Day, . and School Day, highlighting special activities for these various groups. Someone could easily take the concept of this ‘‘Golden Land” cele bration, and possibly develop it as an annual event for the county. Towns in other parts of the country have done this with less potential. Dillon is a fine, growing communiy of civic-minded citizens, and they surely will see that their community does not miss the great po tential of the tourist indus try, as the busiest Interstate Highway on the East Coast goes by their ‘doorstep.’ Someone has said, “many a traveler has never seen to bacco as it grows in the field, and would love to have he opportunity to pick it him self.” Dillon couid take this to heat, and make their community a center, includ ing tobacco museum, visits' many other activities that to the auction, in season, and would be unique to folks from other parts of the nation. The Dillon area is on the brink of a new era—and its people and leaders can, to a great extent, determine what the future will be. IppcrRottti © THI UPPER ROOM NASHVILLE TENNESSEE THE WORLD'S MOST WIDELY USED DEVOTIONAL GUIDE Read John 10:14-18 “Look and see if there is any sorrow like my sor row which was brought upon me.” (Lamenta tions 1:12, RSV) It is recorded in the Gospels that the' Lord often visited the garden of Gethsemane with His disciples. But how dif ferent His last visit was from the others! What happened in that hour is a dark mystery. We think of it only with fear and trembling. His disciples did not understand it. Even the most faithful fell asleep because of weariness and sorrow. Mark reported that Jesus “began to be greatly 'distressed and troubled.” Luke wrote about the Lord’s agony, how “his sweat became like great drops of blood.” Body and soul, Jesus was'burdened with the sins of mankind. He struggled with dea'n, man’s last enemy, and needed God’s strength to be able to finish the immense task of our redemption.. ; Let us remember fhat it was because of us and for us, that the Lord of glory suffered. Offering our lives to Him in gratitude can be our only response. PRAYER Lord Jesus, we worship Thee for Thine infinite love and obedience to the Father. Accept our hearts and lives as our meager gratitude for Thy sufferings. Give us grace to be wholly Thine in life and death, and to pray, as Thou hast taught April 24,, 1897 — Journalist William W.l Price reported to work at the Washington Star with a new beat—The White House, becoming the first of ficial White Hou^e reporter.
