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.

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.

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.

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. Jimmy Chan-

ed to 61 prospective bidders a
notice of invitation to bid on the
construction of floodwater retard
ing structure nomber 7, of the

L. T. Yeargin is constructing
2200 feet of drainage ditches on
his beef cattle farm two miles
East of Barksdale. The Soil Con
servation Service technicians
helped Mr. Yeargin lay out the
ditches and ACP cost sharing
will pay part of the construction
cost. The District’s dragline is
being used for digging the ditches
which will drain approximately
20 acres of bottomland.
Joe Holiday is working this
week in completing the clearing
and cleaning up of 20 acres of
bottomland on his beef cattle
farm on Lick Creek. Joe plans
to get this piece of land in shap

put in 1500 feet of drainage ditch
