Mayor Commends
Efforts of Greeks
?U
Mayor F. N, -MeOorkle has a deep
feeling of pride in the work the
(ireeks In Camden have done toward
aiding their countrymen.
"The Greeks have a deep-seated
jmirit of loyalty to their mother country''
said the mayor "and they are
greatly concerned over the events that
are taking place In Europe today.
"They pre t? be commended for
making every endeavor to help in
the defense of this country, for their
efforts in securing aid, for their
countrymen in far away Greece will
have amoat satisfying effect so far
(IS this nation Is concerned.
I feel that It is a very commendable
effort they are making and it is
my sincere hope that the people of
Camden and vicinity will aid them in
every way possible."
Camden Greeks have (experienced
n marked feeling o?f pride over the
courage, heroism and fighting qualities
of the peoples of the mother
country.
Kev. E. B. Papasizls of the Greek
Orthodox church of the Assumption in
Columbia in speaking of the drive
that is being made by the Greek
residents of SotUh Carolina said In
/part:
' ''The whole world that lives and
believes in the freedom of the human
spirit and has fought continuously for
Its emancipation Is lending its support
to the Greek nation so that they
may keep their birthright of intellectual,
national and religious freedom
from being violated by the ruthless j
philosophies of the European dicta-!
tors." The Rev. Mr. Papaxlsts also
said that the drive (or aid to the
Greeks would continue through what
promised to be "a dreary winter" with
many hardships. '
"The strength inherent in the
democratic way of life and ideals Is
again tested In the conflict of democracy
against the totalitarian Ideology.
The Greek people have rallied to their
just cause against overwhelming odds
and have exhibited their great courage
and heroism In bringing their enemy
to rout.
"The whole world that lives and
believes in the freedom of the human
spirit, and has fought continuously
for its emancipation is lending its
support to the Greek nation, so that
they can keep their birthright of
intellectual, national and s religlou
freedom from being violated by the
ruthlees philosophies of the European
dictators.
"Greece In this great struggle is |
again, beyond doubt, *lhe symbol of
right and the bearer of the torch of
freedom for humanity, and has the
whole-hearted devotion of all liberty
loving Americans.
"The moral and -material support
to our drive from our friends is greatly
appreciated, and in order that we
might help those over there who have
to endure the hardships of a dreary
winter we expect to continue our
drive for war-stricken Greece this
winter.
"To my knowledge all funds raised
in this drive for Greek war relief, are
to be kept, within the statee for
materials needed. ... Therefore by
donating, we are helping a double
cause, our Industries, andj-war-strlcken
sufferers of Greece."**"
Advises Employees
To Hold Jobs Open
Columbia, S. C. Dec. 10?Expressing
the opinion that no employer in South
C-Molina desired to work a hardship
on an employee who had volunteered
f'.'r a year of .military {fairing under
the Selective Service Act. General
Holmes B. Springs, state director,
today urged that such volunteers
rejected as the - result of physical
examinations be reemployed.
With 18 of the first call of 126 white
volunteer registrants refused by
officials at Fort Jackson because of
more exhaustive tests conduces 1 by
regular army physicians, General
Springs began preparing a personal
letter to the employer ' of each man
asking that he be restored either to
his former position or that of equal
responsibility and financial recompense.
. ?
"We had anticipated that several of
the men who would report at Fort
laf-kson would be rejected,^Geh?faT
Springs said, "and had already written
each employer in ^he state asking
that no permanent replacements be
made until It was determined whether
or not the., Kftfflatr&nt* would be
acceptable to the armed forces. The
statement was also given wide circulation
through the state press
. u*r has cooperated so generously
w''h Selective Service headquarters.
M'n writing the employers of those
'acn who have been rejected, I am expressing
my personal belief that it is
only right and Just that they should
"c restored to their former positions

and trust.

commission, Sheriff J. H. McLeod

The "open house" conducted for
four days concluding Monday evening
attracted hundreds of people of the
city and county to the Jail where they
were escorted through the entire
structure by courteous attendants.
The jail and sheriff's quarters are
the finest in the state and represent
the last word In modernity. It is a
matter of pride that a Camden resident,
Ralph Little, was the architect
who designed the structure. Many
modren ideas advocated and suggested
by Sheriff McLeod were embraced in
the plans and today the structure
stands as a monument to Kershaw
county progress. V

Inflicts.
What effect our efforts to eradicate

Here Is a Story ~
For Robert Ripley
When Berdie Jackson, a white man
arrested on a combination charge of
assault and battery and highway robbery
was ushered into one of the steel
cells of the new Kershaw county Jail
Wednesday, a situation to delight the
mind of Robert Ripley was created, i
Jackson, first prisoner in the new
Jail, is a resident of West Wateree
Township. W. E. Kelly, turnkey of
the new Jail is from West Wateree.
Rural Officer J. D. Watson who arrested
Jackson is from West Wateree and,
believe it or not, Sheriff J. H. McDeod,
generallissimo of the county law
enforcement department and chief lord
of the new Jail Is also from West
Wateree.
All in all it was a great day for the
toWnship of West Wateree.
Jackson, who resides near Richland
county line and Sam Huggens, another
white man "residing near the Fairfield
county line are being held for the
alleged assault and robbery on the
person of one Hugh McOallum, a -town
of Dugoff farmer.
Rural Officer Watson exercised
clever deduction when he arrested the
two men, as each was taken Into
custody at his home and the two live
at the extreme points of the county
from each other. Huggens is being
h?M in the old Jail. The Sheriff's
office reports that Jackson has been
in custody before on a liquor violar
tion charge and Huggens was also
arrested and did time on a chain gang
for passing a bad check.

Train In This City
Councilman Jack Nettles haB returned
from Atlanta where he attended
the sessions of the National Minor .
League Association and participated
in a program destined to secure farm j
clubs for .a proposed South Carolina
pro league.
Messrs. Nettles', Laval and "others
who were active in contacting major ]
league moguls to secure farm teams for
(Camden and some five other cities
In the Palmetto state, found the big i
shots of baseball lukewarm to their (
pleas. i
In fhet, it was apparent to the South <
Carolinians that the big league clubs J
are cutting down on farm teams and ,
the outlook for a pro loop In the state _<
looks very remote at this Timer
Mr. Nettles however returned In an
optimistic frame of mind over the
prospects of Camden having a pro J
club for sprlng tralnlng. Dick Porter,
former Syracuso Manager, urged the ;
Harrisburg, Pa., club to locate In '
Camden. In as much as the Charlotte

team has definitely decided to come

parking of heavy -cotton, oil or any

Poses As Missing T
Person Bureau
' The Camden and Kershaw county
Chamber of Commerce is thinking of
establishing a "missing persons" or
"lost and found" department.
Two reeent requests for tnforma-"
lion relative to families living here a
half century ago have resulted in
relatives separated for long periods
of years being reunited.
One request from New York for
data regarding a family living here
some 60 to 60 years ago resulted in a
New York woman getting Information
that enabled her to get her final
naturalization papers. Another missing
person or lost and found episode
resnlted' In thd successful location of
relatives of a woman In San. Antonio,
Texas, being {Raced in contact with
relative# here whom she had not heard
