Camden Must Have
More Cottages
"More houses awl apartments In
the medium price range"
That is tho appeal that kocb forth
from the office of tho Chamber of
Commerce. In fact, the Chamber has
found It difficult to take care of the
demands for smaller cottage and
apartment accommodations within the
$35 to $40 prlco ranger
The demand that comes dally to the
Chamber Is for accommodations of
that price and the Chamber's efforts
to find any have proven fruitless. A
I few places' listed at from $75 up per
j mouth are on the records, but as yet
I there has been little demand for
places in that price bracket. |
The Chamber also has furnished and
unfurnished rooms, but these do not
offer kitchen accommodations and
requests are few and far between fori
quarters where guests must get their
meals out. |
The Chamber of Commerce Is calling
attention of Camden people that
small houses and apartments are need-!
od at once. With tho new air training
school going Into operation in 1
some ten weeks there will be an added
demand for accommodations from
officers and others, In executive
oimcitles, for homes. |
What Camden needs ami needs
badly is a big scale build lug program ;
that will take care of the rapidly in-j
creasing demand for accommodations,
according to the Chamber of Commerce
secretary.

State Patrol Will
Investigate Accident
A "nilracltt" acejdont In which a
speeding auto with ft sleeping driver
left U. S. Highway No. 1, and crgsh<*l
hoadon into a polo supporting ft
high tension lino, la being ittvoetlgftto^
by the state highway patrol.
The accident occurred Wednesday
morning several miles west of tho
city. A inotorlet who came upon the
wreck shortly after the collision loaded
a man and two womeiHnju^MflJfdU'.
and rushed them to ih'o hospital here
Discovery of a bottle of liquid
which one of the wreck victims described
as "dope" in?the pocket of
tho male member of the trio, resulted
in tho highway putrol requesting an
analysis of tho contents. If the stuff
proves to he a drug, an investigation
looking toward the dlseovery of who
is selling It Illegally will result. The
bottle carried no label, but one of the
wreck victims made admissions Wh|ch
will lead to the quicatng of tho party
making the sale.
The three In the car were Hainp
ton Hudson, who It la said resides
In Ulshopvllle. One of his com pan-'
ions gave the name of Dorothy Danv-(
son and said she was employed at the
Lafayette Grfll at Florence. The
other girl refused to give her name.
The man Is about 4(J years of age. the
Dawson girl 20 and the other girl
ubout 23. r
It Is said the three wore enroutc
from Columbia toward this city. The
women, It Is claimed wore asleep and
the driver dozed off long enough to
send his car hurtling from the rogd
and Into the pole. Tho pole whs
smashed off by the impact and live
wires fell about the car. Blue white
sparks leaped from the twisting wires
to the car. How the occupants escaped
serious Injury If not death In
the crash and later from the deadly
current In the wires fit the miracle
of the accident.
Tho front of the car, a coach, was
crushed In like an egg shell where
It struck the pole.
The accident victims when taken to
tho hospital were found to be unhurt,
in fact, tt was not necessary to give
them any extended aid. An attending
physician suggested that tho Dawacta
woman have an X-Ray taken of her
chest but she refused.
Hospital Patient Is
Tonic For Humanity
Raymond McConnell whose pelvis
and left leg were broken in an
accident on November 11, Is one of
the sunshine patients at the Camden
hospital.
MaoConuell, who left Gardner.
Mass., to drive to California aboard
his motorcycle and who crashed Into
an auto while passing a truck near
the intersection of U. S. No. 1 and the
Blshopville road, while faced with at
least three more months of confinement
in the hospital is not railing at
fate.
The writer dropped In on the
sunshine laddlo last Wednesday and
found him chatting and laughing with
others in the ward as If he did not
have a care in tho world.
And the mail?well, he gets the
greatest number of letters than any
one in the institution. Not occasionally,
hut every day.
And his handshake, well, it's sincere.
And it's hearty. A visit and a
chat with tliis New Englander makes
one feel ashamed to permit his own
troubles to put a shadow on life. MacConnell
is a tonic for tired, depressed
and jad-ed individuals. The lad 1st
literally a blues-chaser.
Bold Thief
Steals Auto
While DaCosta Brown, of The
Chronicle force was at dinner around
2 o'clock Wednesday, a thief stole his
automobile which was parked in front
of his apartment at the H. K. Beard
home on vNorth Lyttleton street.
The car was a 1940 Ford Tudor and
bore South Carolina license C 38-428,
motor number .">499008, with white
side wall tires. Mr. Brown reported
the theft a few minutes after it
occurred, but up to this time nothing
has been heard from It. Surrounding
towns were notified by the police
department.

Lancaster high school's famous band
marched and played in the paiade.
Tonight it appeared again between
halves of rhe Camden-Charleston foolball
game in a unique fire drill.- Field
lights were darkened while the band,
In Illuminated costumes, marched and
played a medley of World war -tunes.
Tho demonstration was ended with a
fireworks display.
.. Other musical units in the parade
included the Camden high school band
and the Columbia Boy Scouts' drum
land bugle corps, In addition to a
Thirtieth division band that was
thrown in as a surprise attraction of
the military section of the'processlon.
Besides the band, other Fort Jackson

K. 118th Infantry. Capt. Robert
C. Jeter commanding; and Batery B.
115th Field Artillery, Capt. William M.

Floats were entered from the various
high school areas of Kersnaw
county.
Major E. C. Von Tresckow and
Major Moultrie Bralsford, World war
veterans and marshals of the parade,
rode horseback.
Units from the state highway patrol,
the city police and the. county constabulaTy
.gave Tit heir assistance in
making the'affair a distinct success
The program, in every detail, was
reflective of the fine co-operative
spirit of Camden and was a tribute
to the enthusiasm and resourcefulness
of the Camden people and others who
took part.
The event was sponsored by the
Camden merchants bureau of the
I chamber of commerce. Its success
was largely attributable to the efforts
of Frank H. Heath, hustling secretary
of the chamber, and to the work of a
diligent group of committees headed
(by Moultrie Burns, general chairman.
Camden's Christmas parade was
I another red-letter event sponsored by
this progressive resort under the city
administration of Mayor F. N.
MeCorkle and the chamber of commerce
administration of President
John K. deLonch.

crossings In the middle of a block are

TALKING MOTION PICTURE
PLAY TO BE 8HOWN HERE
The Woman's . Auxiliary of Graoe
ichurqh has arranged to show on
Deceinber 16 In Grammar School
auuitorium one of the most unusual
talking motion pictures ever made.
The title of the picture is "Golgatha",
and it is the first and only talking
motion picture ever made of the famous
Passion Play. This motion
picture presents the immortal story
of the crucifixion /Christ In a spectacular
and impressive manner.
No film ever shown has received the
enthusiastic endorsement of religious
and civie leaders that Golgotha has I
received. Wherever the picture has
been shown, it has brought enthusiastic
praise. 'People in the largest
cities have endorsed it. Ministers,
church people and civic leaders in
towns throughout America jtiave written
enthusiastic praise of this picture.
In addition to its outstanding entertainment
value, "Golgotha" is a marvelous
picture because it does teach
valuable moral and religious lessons.
It brings home to people the importance
of the story of the Christian
religion. And since it is authenlc in
every detail, it Is also Important from
an educational point of view.
