HIGHWAY BKAUTIFICATfON Our progressive neighboring little city of liurtsville is embarking upon a highway bcautificatiort program looking to the improvement! of' the app^iance of the highways leading In and out of it. Hurtsville can pdwaya- be Counted upon to be in the vanguard of any forward movempjiL and in leading off with thi#;worx tt is setting an example that the other towns and cities of South Carolina might well follow. I We believe that there is more nat1 ural beauty in Camden (especially in the residential sections) than in any other city in South Carolina, but the approaches to the city are not such us to delight the eye of travelers along the several highways leading into the city. Nature has been most lavish to this community, but a stranger traveling along our highways passing through would never think so. Our city fathers have tbeen diligent in preserving the beauty of our streets and parks, but it seems that it has not occurred to them, or to any of our civic bodies, that the boa uti float ion of the highways leading through the city would be one of the finest advertisements Camden could possibly have. With the limited support the people have .been able to give it, our Cham\>tv of Commerce has done a lot for this community. We are wondering if this body and the other civic organizations in Camden could not get together with the City Council and map out a Inndscaping program that would result in making some of the approaches to the city less unsightly. Let's think it over, folks, let's talk it over, and then let's do something about it. Sixty-one natives were killed when lightning struck a hut in the Clarksbury district of South . Africa, in which 64 persons were drinkin beer. Three men and a women were killed whOn a four-seated airplane crashed into a hillside 20 miles out from Los Angeles, Gal., during a dense fog.
