I P Officials Endorse != Safety Crusade Prominent local citizens from every walk of life have heartily endorsed the "Drive Safely" crusade which Is being sponsored by the Carolina Mo* tor Company and its dealers. Commenting on tnis drive to save lives, avoid accidents and prevent injuries Mayor F. N. McCorkle emphasized the fact that highway safety depends on the Individual effort of each driver and points out the fact that this crusade puts every person on his honor to keep a sincere pledge to drive safely. The golden rule of driving Is the basis of the "Drive Safely" pledge which every motorist Is being asked to sign In the "Drive Safely" crusado. If every motorist will observe the rights of others and "drive as you would have others drive," many ucci* M dents can be avoided. Motorists who sign the "Drlvo Safely" pledge will receive an attractive metal emblem which will be Installed above their rear llcenne plate, reading "Pledged to Drive Safely." This will act as a constant reminder to themselves and the motorists in % back of them to observe the common sense rules of safe driving. As a further method of keeping safety foremost In the minds of all motorists, monthly contests are being conducted which will handsomely reward motorists. The April contest offers 75 prizes, totaling $1,000 to South Carolina motorists for the best slogans on highway safety. In announcing the "Drive Safely" crusade, Hughey Tlndal president of the Curollua Motor Company, has emphasized the fact that the purpose of this drive is not to sell merchandise ? but to save lives. Motorists who go to Purol-Pep service stations for the pledge cards, "Drive Safely" emblems or contest entry blanks are under no obligation to buy anything and station operators have been instructed not to solicit business on the occasion of theso calls. In Camden the "Drive Safely" crusade activities are being directed by Hughey Tlndal, local representative of the Purol-Pep Oil Company.

Thla fact la not knowu to Camden realdente, but Ijl^torlo data records that Dr. George Todd, brother In law of tho martyred president during the civil war, was In charge of a Confederate hospital here during the period the conflct raged between the North and South. It Itt not generally known that Mary Todd Lincoln had four brothers and four brothers In-law wearing the gray of the Confederacy during the war. For many years It has been customary to conduct memorial services at the Quaker cemetery and a part of the ritual was the calling of the roll of the heroic soldiers who gave up their lives In support of their patriotic belief in tho right of the Southern cause. And the name of Dr. George Todd was always heard In the roll call. Dr. Todd was an ardent sympathizer of the cause of the Confederacy nml his ability as a surgeon was utilized in the caring for the wounded and suffering. A temporary hospital In Camden was under his personal charge. It WM Viritft to chargQ oMJhe hospital Dr. * Todd met a Camden girl, Miss Mattle LyIes,~who later became his wife. The couple weje devoted and the wife gave enthufftftstic old to her husband In his work ai a surgeon and a doctor. She died quite early 1 in life and was buried in the Quaker cemetery. When Dr. Todd died, he was burled beside his wife. The story that I>r. Todd took up the cause of the South because of bitterness between himself and Abraham Lincoln Is discounted by historians. It is known that the brothers atul sisters of Mary Todd Lincoln i were openly in sympathy with the , Confederacy,, but this fact did not . teud to create any bitterness of feelI lng between them and the sister who i married Lincoln. Lincoln himself, is - said to hfvn nhnri?hnd only the d-ee-pest of respect and affection for the members of his wlfo's family and , have deeply admired their staunch patriotism toward the cause of the South. WHERE ARE THE ACTIVE CASES OF TUBERCULOSIS? i Have you cooperated in the Early Diagnosis Campaign to locate cases of nctivo tuberculosis that may be even at this moment endangering the security of your homo? Two weeks have passed, since the opportunity was offered Camden and Kershaw county residents to make sure their , homes are protected from infection , from some outside source. To date only three domestic servants have come for a tuberculin test and yet in the two negro schools within the city limits have been found recently one hundred persons with positive tuberculin tests. This means that each of these one hundred persons with a positive tuberculin test have lived or are now living in close contact with an active <.as- of tuberculosis. And who are these active cases of tuber, ulosis that are responsible for one j hundred positive tuberculin tests in th< negro sdiools of Camden? To be i sure tluo are workers of some kind i in Camden and vicinity.
