The Dis trict Suppressors have disTri-' buted informational material to churches throughout the county. “It is fitting that a week be set aside each year to re mind all people that soil is a precious gift from God and that it. warrants their best in Christian Stewardship”, said Ryan F. Lawson, Chair man of the Laurens County Soil Conservation District Su pervisors. J. B. O’Dell, Work Unit Conservationist. A Soil Stewardship Week Statement by D. A. Williams, Administrator Soil Conservation Service Today, there is indeed a “crisis in the countryside” — or rather, two crises. One is the continued wastage of the land through erosion and im proper use. The other is the result of man’s partial suc cess. This is the crisis of com placency about conservation. Why this complacency? Perhaps it is because t(he need for increased conserva tion measures does not im mediately strike ihe eye. The supermarkets are full — to day. The dust may not be blowing — today. And so we concern ourselves with the big headlines — wars, space, missiles, murders! These are serious matters indeed. But, we lose more of our land every year to silent erosion than we have ever lost, or shall ever lose, to a foreign foe. Where is the bat tle cry for this? What happens to the erod ing lands in Missouri and Montana affects us more di rectly than our landing on the moon. Where are the pleaders for this? And — no matter what weapons of the future we develop — the mod ern army in the world still travels on its stomach, still depends on the bountiful earth we take for granted. Do not misunderstand me. Our activities around the world, and out of it, are very necessary. But I will firmly believe to the end of my life tJiat there is NO work mor£ important, now or for the fu ture, than conserving our en riching our own land, the ba sis for our life, our living our national wealth. , Yet, we lose each year, through erosion and other farms of preventable dam age, about 500,BOO a6res' of formerly productive land. The bulldozer and the build er taken another one and one- third million acres of the best land every 365 days fof high ways, factories, housing and son on. Our rivers continue to flood and destroy homes and hopes. Our water supply runs short, becomes polluted, erodes the land.

GAYNELLE HAIRSTON DOUGLAS, Executrix, Route 1, Laurens, S. C. April 23, 1966 A28-4p-M26 of our land disappears, our population and that of tne world increases. Yes, our supermarkets are itill full. Our time has not run out. But quite literally, the sins of our forefathers are being visited upon us. We cannot afford to be as waste ful in the future, if we desire our children’s children to in herit an affluent America. We must plan 'more intensively, farm more wisely, care more urgently. And we must make sure the city man under stands that, what happens in rural America affects him im mediately and profoundly. We call our land “Grid’s country,” and it is. Let us clearly acknowledge it is our job to keep it that way. Farm ers an<|^ ranchers, as the chief sriil stewards, have the heaviest^'responsibility. They, of all people, know the con- servati'qh job is far from done. Thirty percent of our land being properly treat ed. What about the 70 per cent? As we acknowledge Soil Stewardship Week, let us in deed thank God for this coun try, and for the thousands of dedicated people working to keep it rich and bountiful — especially the officials and cooperators of our 3,000 soil and water conservation dis tricts. And then — let us get i off our knees and go back to Work.

AprU 19, 1966 ^l-4c-M19 The pleasant community at mosphere, combined with a delightful climate, are major selling’ points in attracting senior citizens from across the nation to Camden, South Carolina. Camden .has long been known as a retirement cen ter, but it is also versatile enough to appeal to indus try, tourists arid young peo ple. ’ The historic community is the oldest inland town in South Carolina, beginning in 1732 as a settlement along the banks of the Wateree River. Qua kers from Ireland settled here in 1850 and named the town Fredericksburg. It was later called Pine Tree Hill, for its location, and finally renamed Camden, after the British Lord, who championed,' the cause of Colonial rights in England. Some 12 battles of the Amer ican Revolution were fought at C»mden or in the nearby area. The most famous are the Battles of Camden and. Hobkirk Hill.. The town was considered a key in the South ern Campaign, of the Revolu tion. Cornwallis was head quartered here for a time, and such famous generals as Gates, Greene, Tarleton, De- Kalb, Marion and Sumter made never-to-be-forgotten history here. The fine climate and ex ceptionally good soil under all conditions make Camden a national center for race horse training and other equestrian activities. It is the home of the Carolina Cup Race, an outstanding steeple chase event held each Spring. About 300 horses are trained at Camden each year. Wat eree Lake, only a few miles from Camden, is one of the state’s fine recreational areas. Navigable frit’ 22 miles, Wat eree offers fishing, boating, ■■ water skiing and otter activ ities Some of the other fine rec reation opportunities besides water sports include hunting, golf, horseback riding and to \ ai nis. Home of many golf tour naments is Camden Country Club’s fine year 'round course. Another fine golf course is the Green Hills GoH and Country Club near Lu- goff. Historical toirts of Camdeft are a pleasure, with the many markers leading the way, and detailed guide maps available on request through local mo tels, restaurants or the local chamber of Commerce office. Such famous patriots as Washington and ■' Lafayette were hosted as visitors in Camden, and a cedar tree at the Kershaw > County Court house bears the inscritpion: “The Lafayette Cedar, planted during his visit here March 9, 1825.” Washington visited Camden in 1791.
