Cttaton, S. C, Thursday, September 5, 1968 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE ' Haev you ever visited Sumter and Francis Marion national for- esst in our state? In 1962, over 680,000 did. and yet there are many who probably have never even thought about what they are and where they are located. Many of the visitors to the for ests went to picnic, some to camp, munt or fish, and many just went to enjoy a day in the outdoors. The Sumter National Forest is located in the upper part of the state and is divided into four dis tricts—the General Pickens Dis trict, the Tyger, Enoree and Long Cane. In the lower part of LOAN STRONO The first home loan by a savings and loan associa tion was made to a lamplighter in Frankford, Pa., In 1881. The home is still standing. Thanks a hundred billion! This month the savings and loan business passes the 100 billion dollar mark in assets. We are proud to be a part of it. The savings and loan business is built on the right and incentive of human beings to better themselves. Its 1 assets have grown from the thrift of its 36 million savers who are building sound financial futures for themselves. We join all savings and loan associations in saying to you, our customers, “Thanks a hundred billion" for your confidence in us. FEDERAL Saving and Loan Clinton, South Carolina Today savings and loan associations make more than a million home loans a year... more than all other financial institutions combined. the state, near Charleston, the Francis Marion Forest is divided into three districts—the Santee, Witherbee and the Wambaw. The Francis Marion has nine recreation areas within the three districts. The Huger Recreation Area, for example, is enjoyed for picnicking, fishing and other group activities, and for boating enthusiasts, there is a ramp per mitting launching into Huger Creek, which flows into the Coop er River. From here you may take a scenic boat trip to Charleston. The forests are roamed by deer hunters searching for the elusive buck. Many wild turkeys may be seen as they court, strut, feed, and dust themselves. A day could be spent wdhder- ing along the nature trail in the Guilliard Lake Scenic Area un der the large swamp hardwoods, seeing the many wonders of na ture. Bird watchers, especially, could spend an interesting day watching the many species of birds found there. Many of these recreation areas, such as Huger, Elmwood and Is lington Oaks, were developed on the sites of old plantations and the giant live oaks draped with Spanish moss along the shady lanes are still * beautiful sight. There are also many recrea tion areas in the Sumter National Forest. In the Piedmont at Par sons Mountain Lake, swiming, boating and camping are favor ite sports. The Long Cane, En oree and Tyger Districts are used heavily by week-end visitors for squirrel and rabbit hunting. There are also quail, deer and turkeys to be found. One of the popular activities, attracting men, women and chil dren, is the trail ride on horse back which follows winding trails and old roads for a scenic trip through the forest. There are sometimes 100-150 riders in this party. In the General Pickens District there are more than 100 miles of trout streams. The Chattooga and Chauga Rivers are quite a challenge for trout wishermen in the cold turbulent waters. If you would like to spend a day—or maybe a week-end—en joying life in the forests, why don’t you plan a trip to the one nearest you. Your esrvice station attendant would be happy to give you a ma pand help you with the best route to take. SGT. YOUNG NASHVRli TfNNESSU THE WORLDS MOST WIDELY USED- DEVOTIONAL GUIDE Read I John 3:1-11 There is . . . one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. (Ephesians 4:4, 6) When I was a small child, I liked to sit on my father’s knee. A cousin about my age came to visit us, and my father took her up on one knee with me on the other. I felt that my special right had been invaded and lost no time in voicing my childish objection. Patiently, my father explained there was plenty of room for us both, and that I should be kind to our little visitor. The Fatherhood of God is big enough for all mankind. It is a rich blessing open to all. None of us has exclusive right to it. Moreover, we cannot claim for ourselves the Fatherhood of God and deny the brotherhood of man. Ourt Father’s concern for each of us is not lessened by the fact that He is deeply concerned for all His children. The gospel is for all mankind. He loves us and, through His Son Jesus Christ, has commanded that we love one another. PRAYER Dear God and Father of us all, we are grateful for Thy great love and mercy. We thank Thee that because of Thy fatherly concern for us, we may attain salva tion. Give us brotherly concern for the salvation of presons everywhere. We pray in our Redeemer’s name. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY God’s concern as our Father is that we look upon our fellowmen as brothers. Florence Pedigo Jansson, Writer (Virginia) Agriculture Dept.

Marine Recruiter Trained Two Local Men In Navigation Staff Sergeant Ernest Young, local Marine Corps Recruiter, brings with him a part of the al most 188 years of Marine tradi tions every Wednesday when he visits the post office here in Clin ton. Operating out of his main of- 1 fice at 2 East Washington Street I in Greenville, Sgt. Young visits Laurerts County every Wednes day. He visits the Selective Ser vice in Laurens between 11 a. m. and 2 p m. and then travels on through Clinton and finally to Joanna. Any person desiring informa tion on the life of a U. S. Marine is invited to contact Sgt. Young on his weekly visit through Lau rens County, or by contacting him at his Greenville office dur ing the rest of the week (Phone CE 2-4111. Prior to his arrival in this area as a Marine Recruiter, Sgt. Young served at the world's larg est Marine Corps Air Station, Cherry Point, N. C. Here he per formed the duties as an instruc tor in aerial navigation. As a Marine navigator he serves with an elite group numbering no more than 200, and is also one of a few that holds a commercial navigator’s rating. Having been in the area only two months, Sgt. Young feels that he is already a part of the community. On his first visit to this area he discovered that Clin ton was the home of two Marine navigaotrs. This is an oddity in itself considering the small num ber of navigators in the Marine Corps that two of them come from a town the size of Clinton. What further adds to this is that Sgt. Young was the instructor that put both of these men through navigation school. The two young Marine naviga tors mentioned are Cpl. Dwight L. Moody and Cpl.
