Leese Ogburn, Frances Rhame iT; ' THE CHRONICLE OF THE WEEK I TTT ? Some years ago a certain man was :aken with a serious illness. But his 3-pirit rose to meet the attack; his faith?faith which never faltered, his hope, that never dimmed, his sincere love for his fellowmen, that kept him from thinking too much of himself, were answered?as they always have been answered^ and always will be answered?and that man is today the President of these United States. Four years ago this country of ours I was stricken likewise by an economic crisis that at times seemed almost insuperable. But the men and women of America are no more^to be downed than was Franklin Roosevelt. We have had a hard struggle, all of us, city dwellers and farmers, employers and employed, bu%we will not admit defeat. And with that spirit, and humbly trustful in the goodness of God, we shall make this country -of- ours a better place in which to live and work than it has ever been before. The Chronicler. * ? * * Editor Camden Chronicle: The article in your last Week's issue by "Chronicler" was most timely and I say "Amen" to all of it. "Chronicler" says truly that "Busi ness is what we make it." ! To my mind the best way for Cam- J den to make good business is through I advertising. We face a grave emer- j gency?the discontinuance of much of I i the advertising, which has been such I a factor in Camden's growth and I j prosperity. Without advertising, j Camden's greatest industry?the win- I ter resort business?is ii} jeopardy. Without advertising Cam<Jer. 's ' I claim to the title of South Carolina's* j leading, winter resort becomes .; an I echo of the past. <> I Messrs. Woodward, Kirkover, Russell and many others have shown their I faith in this sectipn and have , been j untiring in their efforts to help us. I by inventing hundreds of thousands of 0 I dollars here to make this, a peerless I j winter resort. ! I We could make Camden a recrea- I tional Mecca and unless we do cur j part by constructive advertising ?anv den invites not new customers and j new business but isolatipn. I If our home people and merchants will do their part and join with the I Chamber of Commerce in an under- i taking to let Camden's worth be- I known success is surely ours?for j "Business is what we make it. Let's make it good." B. G. S. | Marjie Traxler, Lottie Twitty.

I keep coming back to that Word "balanced" on the back of the Chesterfield package YOU ofteii hear the word balance ?something is out of balance ? topheavy, not on an "even keel."

When these tobaccos are balanced one against the other, then you have a mild cigarette. When they are in balance, then you have a better-tasting cigarette.
