AN D8 Whether or not forest flrex are behig deliberately set or whether they are caused by carelessness "tJhe fact remain? that there are entirely too many forest fires near Camden. In recent weeks much beautiful timber has been burned over and the young trees destroyed on both sides of the Watoree river. Not only were the small trees entirely burner], but many of the larger trees scarred and seared to such an extent that it will set them hack in their growth for years. Another destructive featauuiof the firobug is the fact that he destroys all the leaves and vegetation on the ground which promotes the growth of trees. , The Kershaw County Forestry Association has sip en t a lot of money recently to protect the timber. A large fire lookout tower has been erected at a high cost, and great care is taken night and day to discover these fires during incipiency, but if the land >wners and people who trespass on property do not work in ca;q operation with the Forestry Association their efforts will come to naught. The forests will never be protated until the (ounly \h organized and public sentiment i-v-Onrou-ed against the destructive firebug.

Passover?The Feast of Emancipation Wednesday evening the Jewish people all over the vv >rld will begin celebration of the Feast of Emancipation. known in Hebrew as I'esach or Passover. According to the biblical account this holiday i.? celebrated for a period of seven (lays, and it iobserved by eating unlleavened breads called Matzoth. This holiday looms among the most significant festivals of the Jewish calendar, for the idea of freedom upon which it is based constitutes a basic concept in Jewish thought and a basic cause for which humanity has been fighting throughout its history. According to Jewish tradition Passover marks the anniversary of Hie I'U'ration of the children of Israel front the yoke of slavery.
