In " Interest Of ?
New Star Itnute
Itccnjitly a strong petition was filed
will! the postal authorities by FosW*
' master H. B. Taylor for the establishment
of Htur Itoute mull service bensct'ii
Chester and Kershaw whereby
mail now arriving on the southbound
train from Rock Hill at about ton
o'clock in the morning would reach
Kershaw much earlier and with more
(crtainty of arrival upon its schedule
time. ?
A number of times recently the
train has been Irregular in its arrival
with the result that, if it was delayed
more than an hour, the carriers on
the rural routes' emanating from Kershaw
would have to take their departure
without whatever mail might
be on the train for dispatch by their
routes.
On last Friday, J. C, Cuttino, chief
ilerk of the railway mersive in this
division, whose headquarters arc at
^-Charleston, came to Kershaw to personally
inspect the situation. He was
iit?'i at Great Falls by Postmaster
Ta\lur. who accompanied him on his
rounds of inspection and acquainted
him with the advantages to lie had by
ih" earlier arrival of mail at the Kershaw
office. Not the least of which is,
thai, if It "should arrive earlier, 'itne
. i.ough would be given for Jhe more
important totvh(L-giveo attention and
receive reply by this earlier train upon
its departure from Kershaw.
Of course, no Information was giv. n
out regarding the prospects for
obtaining this much desired service,
hut it was evidence of the fact that
it is receiving prompt attention and
it is hoped here that it will be established
at an early date. Lancaster
and Heath Springs would also be advantaged
thereby in the event of its
establishment.?Kershaw Era.
South May Become
Newsprint Source
Predicting that it is only a question
of time until a comparatively large
part of the newsprint paper the
I'r.iii (I States now imports from other
ontries will be produced in the
South. Professor Gordon I). Marchworth.
director of the school of forestry
of the University of Georgia,
painted a hopeful picture for the
future of professional foresters in the
South in a radio broadcast from Atlanta.
Though forestry is an old profession
in Europe, it is comparatively new
in the United States. The number
of students enrolled In undergraduate
forestry courses increased in 30 years
from about 50 men to nearly 4,000.
H. O. Stabler, associate regional
forester for the Southern region of
the United States forest service, who
participated in the radio program with
Professor Marchworth, declared that
he believed the outstanding need of
the forestry profession in the South
at present was the adequate financing,
equipping and manning of a strong
school of forestry, comparable with
sectional forestry schools In other
parts of the country to attract and
train foresters for work in the South.
Emphasizing timber as a renewable
natural resource In contrast with minerals
of oil, Marchworth and Stabler
agreed that the future of foresters In
the South hinges in a large measure
en the practice of sustained-yield
management by owners of lands that
produce timber. *
"A man who owns 100,000 acres of
productive timber land," Marchworth
-aid, "may elect to establish a sawmill
and cut all the timber within a periocU
of 15 to 20 years. Instead of a shortterm
operation, this man may build
i plant that will handle the annual
lire-determined cut on an all-time
basis, with a permanent community
"rowing up about his development
that need never fear the fate of becoming
a ghost town, such as one
finds scattered throughout the cutover
pine lands of the South.
"Lumbermen and foresters concede
Hie South to be the best timber-producing
spctlQp in the world. If sustained-yield
management is practiced
on a large scale, the South will offer
interesting opportunities for wellfrained,
capable foresters."

Biblical Drama to be
Presented Tuesday
"The First Commandment," a Biblical
dramatization, is to bo presented
at high school auditorium Tuestlay
and Wednesday nights, April 21 and
22, under the auspices of Circle One
of.(he Lyttleton Street Methodist
church.
"The First Commandment," as has
already been announced, is a dramatization
of the important events leading
up to and connected with the
giving of the Ten Commandments.
A complete list of characters and
sponsors will be found on the back
page of The Chronicle today.
The story of the production begins
with the story Of Joseph. In actual
dramatic scenes on the stage, Joseph's
being sold Into slavery, being
made lord governor of Egypt, and la-j
ter being reunited With his brothers,,
are all portrayed in an intensely interesting
uiui dramatic manner.
The complete story of the deliver-!
anee of the Israelites frpm bondage,
the coining of the plagues', und the rejoicing
In the wilderness, is given
right on our own local, stage, every
detail authentic.
The climaxing scene of the prodtption
is the actual giving of the]
Tei^ Commandments by Moses to the*
Children of Israel. The closing scene,
done in a beautiful blue light, is aj
portrayal of the nativity, or the birth
otfU'Chrtst. Although this story is;
known to every one, it is given in an
unusual manner that will Isold the uudience
spellbound.
The grand finale of the production
is something that will alone be well
worth the price of admission. The J
entire cast of characters appear on
the stage, while the choir sings the
Hallelujah chorus from "The Messiah."
Never before has there been
such an array of authentic and beautiful
costumes grouped on the local
stage.
"The First Commandment" is not
only spectacular entertainment, but
it has real educational and moral value.
Every individual In this community
should see it, if for no other reason
than because of the newness of
the production and the fact that it Is
entirely different from anything that
has ever been produced in this community.
v
A tremendous crowd is anticipated
for the production. "The First Commandment'
will be presented at the
high school auditorium and the performance
will start at 8:15. Don't
fail to be there.
