Mayor McCorkle Is
Optimistic Over Future
(Continued ri\>rn first page)
sent, Mayor McCorkle told of Calflden's
plans for the observance of
Christmas.
"Camden as well as the entire county
of Kershaw," he said, "is all excited
over the Christmas festival scheduled
for the afternoon of November 29.
It's going to be a really big-time spectacle.
We have about 20 floats entered
in a parade, and with several
bands, children in costume and. of
course, the grand old man himself,
Santa Clans, our parade should prove
a real treat for the children and, J
might add, the grownups as well."
Mayor McCorkle also talked about
the progress Camden is making by
way of permanent improvements and
such.
"Camden is elated over the promise
of the early construction of the new
Wateree river bridge, the contract for
which will be awarded December 3.
The atmosphere about Kershaw county
was still ringing with our cheers
over that great development when
we were notified that Camden was
to be mado the site of an army pilot
training school!
"These developments," Mayor Mo
| Oorkle went on, "reflect the progress
which has been in evidence in our
city the past several yea re. There
has been more building in the past
two years than In any pervious quarter
of a century. Scores of new
homes, new business houses, stores,
industries, street paving, installation
of the very lateet traffic control
system?all of these things indicate
that Camden is definitely on the
march. Rome wasn't built In a day,
they say, but that's because Camden
folks, weren't doing the Job! You just
watch Camden grow."?Saturday's Columbia

FOUND AT CtKMSON
Cleweon, Nov. 13- A perfectly sound
United States one dollar bill with no 1
man-made strings attached, has been
lying on a study table lu a Clemaon
'College barracks room for upward of
a month. Accessible to 2,800 cadets
who roam the barracks at will and in
a room the door to which is never
locked, the bill remains untouched.
Cadet Theo Tslpopoulos, an electrical
engineering sophomore from
Charleston, placed the hill under a
piece <>f plate glass on the table as an
experiment and to date he is uo
poorer. * ^ j
No effort is made to prevent whomever
would like To pick the bill up
from doing so, but a neatly jointed
reminder beside it says: "Thou Shalt
Not Steal."
