Purchase of 2.000 American puck mules by Italy, presumably In event of a war with Ethiopia, would create a h.iIouh shortage. of the anirnale for (lomcHtic uhc, dealers here said today. Inquiry on the price of that number wttH made by Italian dealers lust week at thin market, International center of the borae und mule trade. t J. J. Searcy, president of the St. Louis florae and Mule Commission Co., aaid there wan a scarcity of the type of mule wanted?a ahort, aturdy, Ileavy-boned Jack able to carry heavy burdens over p re carlo u a mountain tralla. i "We could aell all those now available in the domestic market." he aaid, "particularly In the south, where the smaller animals are used." Albert Kayaer, HO, former Communist member of the relchstag. has been sentenced to death by a Berlin court for Communist activities constituting high treason. i Sir George i'aisii. British economist, told an audience at Oxford, England, that Italy "In no Hinall measure, la acting as she is today because of the distress of her people." r LETTER TO MAYOR AND COUNCIL (Continued from page one ) Finally, part of the (treateel benefit of audi a program would be the stlmulation It would give properly owimth of the city to lands* ape their own grounds Happily this proposed landscape cosmos would not tieeessurlly stop with the city limits, although of course, work done at the city's expense would necessarily do so. In the past the Camden Garden Club has done splendid work In the environs of Camden towards the heautillcation of our highways, if this work is continued, the plan could In- extended for miles beyond the city. Also, by a rece?| act of the Legislature u conservation commission was provided for Kershaw County. The primary object of this commission is forest tire protection and the stimulation of reforestation. However, for the first few years this commission will probably not need ull the funds provided for this work. It would seem logical that any surplus funds should be spent in beautiflcation. These surplus funds might lie used to extend bridle paths from the city limits to outlying places of beauty, such as (he Lloyd Woods, the Hpringdale Hare Course, the Indian Mound, etc. You who are the trustees of our hard-earned tux money may wonder whether you are justified in spending a large sum of this money for such a purpose. For many of us, sufficient answer to this would he thut "Beauty is its own excuse for being." It woujd be foolish, though, to think that answer sufficient for the majority of the tax payers. Probably the majority, then, would want it Justified in dollars and cents. It is submitted that the program can be justified upon these grounds. In the spring thousands of people attracted to Camden to attend our races. At such times, It might be said that we have gotten our Customers In our shop. It would stand tu renson that It would be good business to so attractively display our merchandise that buyers would do business with us. If we can make Camden so attractive to these visitors that they will return again to Camden and perhaps eventually buy property here, the expense of this program would be an Investment?a splendid investment. The new tax revenue so created should more than pay for the program before many years have passed. Looked at from another view, we may liken Camden again as a store, ' i ?p??mmrnm? 1 nn a chain store if you like, as they. are notoriously past-master* at mert chaiidisfiig. Then regard our beautiileution program uh the/ "leaders" which these stores place iit proifiiudit < positions to attract buyers." It Is said I that these stores frequently sell these, .leaders ut u loss and yet us a wholej Kuin enormously by them. Could we not regard' this beautlilcatlon program | in the su|ne light and so Justify it as " good business?" ( Hundreds of Iowiih spend large : stints advertising to attract people. . Camden lias the advantage over these j towns of getting large number^ of t people to come here without this ad* j vertlslng. To many of us, It seems that this advantage Is being wasted? ! that we are not capitalizing it. Is It j not a far better plan to spend our money for advertising through the j creation of permanent beauty rather i titan througli ephemeral and costly newspaper ads? No doubt a moderate amount of newspaper advertising Is beneficial hut It lacks this double benefit. No one will dispute that the largest contributing element in the beauty of Camden was the foresight of those early citizens who lalfl out the streets and parks and who planted the now monumental trees that border them, many of which it Is sad to note are already passing und not being replaced. We should require of ourselves this same foresight that Camdeu niuy always be the place of beuuty It now | Is and if possible make It an even ' more beautiful place for our children than It is for us. We of this genera; tlon could build no grander uud noble) speaking monument. | Recently this matter was discussed at a meeting of the Rotary Club and | the plan was endorsed without a dissenting vote. Respectfully yours, Henry Savage, Jr. i This letter was published with the ' request that all who read It and have | views upon the matter communicate I them to their representative in City Council in order that public sentiment | on the matter may be determined.
