eouiracl toy the new steel and con.oU,
bridge over the Watereo river
ftrought veal rejoicing to the peoples
I at Camden and Kerahaw county and
#ill he received with acclaim by
thousand* of motorists who like to
travel l\ ? N?- 1? tho Bttfe rout? be'
,wvon the northeastern states and
Florida.
? if
A linle blnl has whispered to me
that this ia only one of aevoral picasI
ant surprise? that may be placed on
,he Camden progress menu during the
next soyeral months.
i Are we or are we not a roal detrtor
racy? When you read in tho prose
I of tho dogmatic control of American
; worker? by a email group of union
i leaders, you begl? to wonder, teepeetally
when you find out that some of
B th$se leaders are futhless racketeers
and are foreign born.
# ?
For instance, we who listen over
the air waves, have thrilled to the
music of Charlie Barnet's orchestra.
B Churloy has been off the air and also
j out of phonograph recording just because
he Incurred the Hi will of Jlrnmio
PetriUo, foreign born head of the
musician's union. Just because Charlie
I wanted to change his booking agent
w Petrlilo expelled him from -the union
j thus making it Impossible for him to
' work further as a musician, a business
he has devoted his life to.
And out west is an aeroplane plant
the union orders a strike of thousands
of workmen who were engaged in
building airships for defense purposes.
Wonder how long Uncle Sara
will fool around with the labor agitators.

1; is interesting to read that Miss
Cornelia Truesdale, the attractive
Kershaw girl, who won tho right to
reign as Miss Kershaw County at this
department's first festival event back
in 1937 when Camden staged its brat,
sale* festival was the queen of the
Christmas festival at Charlotte yesterday
Miss Truesdale attends QueensChitova
college at Charlotte.
* *
We congratulate ' Miss Truesdale.
She certainly is a beautiful girl and
deserves the honor of being selected
to preside as queen at B^ch.an outstanding
event as the^^Charlotte
festival.
* * * *
The windows in the downtown district
which have been given over to
the Red Cross trims are most interesting
and beautiful. The Fashion
Shop. Smart Shop and The Outlook
store all have attractive displays.

Heard a young lady sing at Grace
church Sunday and was sorry that every
music lover in Camden was not
pivsin: to enthuse over this sweet
voir.-, it happened during the singin^
uf an offertory Sunday morning
and .ho way in which Margaret SalJiioud
carried the solo part was beautiful.
The young lady sure has a futii:
with a voice like that.

i i*t learned that l<eq Little, manag
r of the Camden theater has booked
"The Rampants We Watch" for Mon<l.iy
and Tuesday and "Boom Town"
f<?r Thursday and Friday. Folks, be
-tire and see these pictures. You'll
Mover regret It. We know because
we've soon them, and plan to sit
C. nigh them again.

The reference we made to a litflo_.
bird whispering about big things to
< :i:e for Camden had to do with tho
i-t.'iy that broke this mornipg In the
press relation to the securing of an
aviation school for Camden. It means
this folks?an investment of a quai ie.
of a million with a yearly payroll 01
approximately $400,000.
* * * *
. Hats off to the small group of pluggers
who have worked for months on
that project. And many thanks to
Dexter Martin, state aeronautical commissioner
who had Camden in mind
for airport activities for many years.
. Hope we'll be getting into polo soon.
A year ago and a year before that we
had a game on turkey day. How
about getting started Mr. Harrison?

CHRISTMAS SEALS
Help to Protect Your
Ho me from Tuberculosis
Oil the morning of November 25th,
when mail carriers begin their rounds
from the postoflfice in Camden and
other Kershaw County towns, their
bags will be weighed down with
Christmas Seal Sale letters, about
seventeen hundred of them, each containing
two dollars worth of Christmas
Seals, and so bights ''here the
thirty-fourth annual drive to raise
funds for the year round .tuberculosis
program.
The general chairman, Mrs. F, D.
Goodale, explained that two dollar letters
are being sent to every one on the
mailing list, because there is no accurate
way of telling just how many
seals various people will want to use
on letters, cards and packages during
the month of December. A supply of
two hundred makes It easy for every
one to have enough and those needing
less than two hundred may return
those not used along with their
cheok made payable to Oliver A. Rice,
treasurer.
"The bright happy faces of thel
three children on -the 1940 Christmas]
seals are so attractive," continued Mrs. I
Goodale," that people Just will not be1
able to resist their appeal, 'Buy
Christmas' Seals to Protect Us.' "
People not on the mailing list will
be given a chance to buy Christmas
Seals from a worker In his or her
community. The county has been
divided according to voting precincts
with a chairman and a group of coworkers
in charge of each precinct.
For the first time in the history of
the Christmas Seal Sale in the county,
every man, woman and child old
enough to do so, will be given a
Chan<T to buy Chrsltmas Seals and
along about January first thousands
will take pride in saying, "I contributed
my part toward the sixteen hundred
and fifty dollars that will keep
our tuberculosis nurse on the job
every day during 1941."
During the week Just passed and
continuing through the middle of next
i week, the Kershaw County Traveling
Dibrary Unit will be co-operating with
the Christmas Seal Sale Committee in
delivering to schools supplies to be
used in this year'b Christmas Seal
Sale.
The packages contain a large Christmas
Seal Sale poster for each class
rooau. so mo Christmas Seals and
bangle pins. School children throughout
the county will be given a chance
to buy either a bangle pin or several
seals for their own use according to
Mrs. Kathleen Watts, school . chairman.
None will be sold by them to
udults explained Mrs. Watts for each
community has a chairman with several
co-workers to give adults a
chance to buy.
Superintendents and principals are
requested to sot aside a certain school
day as Christmas Seal and Bangle
I>ay, and on this occasion to seo that
every student, who does his part
toward raising the Christmas ,
Seal Sale quota, for his school Is
decorated with appropriate ceremony
Some of the schools will have plays or
programs from the teaching material,
"Crowing Healthfully" which has been
provided by the Christmas Seal Sale
Committee.
Each year school children contribute
a goodly sum toward the Seal Sale
fund. This time it is expected that
they will go well over the top because
parents aro bolng asked to let
children buy either a bangle pin or
several seals for his or her own use,*
thus taking part in an educational program
that leads in future years to the
kind of citizenship that tackles community
problems, such as tuberculosis
prevention, in a constructive way.
Willliam Brownlee has Just about
completed his plans for the most
thorough canvass ever made of the
colored people's business district for
contributions to the annual Christmas
Seal Sale. ^
There Is to be a chairman for each
and every group of workers, barbers,
hotel men and Vomeri, grocers, ~
restaurants and cafes, pool rooms and
billiard parlbrs, wood yards, doctors
and dentists, insurance agencies,
beauty parlors, blacksmith shops,
truck drivers and delivery-men, undertakers,
cleaners of stores, office buildings
and banks, mail carriers,, taxi
drivers, filling station operators and
employees. Even the industrial workers
will have their own chairman.
Brownlee is known as a person who
puts things over so it Is fully expected
that he and his co-workers will more
than roach their share of the goal that
has been set, namely two hundred and
fifty dollars.
