THE MCCORKLE ADMINISTRATION
At some (line durfug the 208 years
existence of the city of Camden. Its
progress may have been bo bIow that
It could have been likened to the vll*
luge in "Sleepy Hollow".
Not bo during tbe present administration.
Commonts reaching uh
from folk far and near picture Camden
In It's moBt progressive era.
Mistakes have boon made In the
McCorkle administration. Honest
mistakes, ltut the mistake of doing
nothing w'lH n?t made.
This newspapor has observed with
keen Interest the tremendous effort
that has been made to make Camden
a clean, progressive and up to date
City. The kind of city In which good
people want to .Mvo.
Camden now Is such a city. Much
credit for It's business progress. It's
newly paved streets. It's now enterprise*
and It's added charm and
beauty is due to the untiring efforts
of it's Mayor and City Councllmen.
May Camden's progress continue.
May the present Mayor and City
Council continue In office. To make
a change would be a colossal mistake.
8LOW DOWN FOR UNCLE SAM
Now that Mr. Ickes has found that
gasoline must bo conserved In the
Enst because of a shortage of transportation
facilities, we're learning a
lot about gasoline consumption which
many of us haven't known before.
We've always realized that It took
more gasolene per mile tu go 70
miles an hour than to go 40 miles an]
hour, but with a big taukful of gasoline
In the enr we're apt to think
much about It. If were In a hurty
and If the road Is one of those big
highways that Invites speed, we
haven't worried much about using
a few extra ounces of gasoline.
Rut when we are told that we use
r>6 per cent more gasoline per mile
when driving 70 miles an hour than
when going 40 miles an hour, that's
something worth thinking about.
That means for each dollar wo spend
for gasoline, wore paying 50 cents
addltonal for the pleasure of speeding?and
to a lot of us It lsn t worth
that.
It Is quite possible that speod laws
will bo more Btrlctly enforced than
over before In the Last in order to
cut down our consumption of gasoline,
it is also probable that we
will he taught to consider speeding
unpatriotic. Rut whatever means are
used to educate us to slow down and
save gasoline, most of us wont object
too vehemently when we realize
ihal it also means a substantial saving
to our pofk.'tbooks.
It l? estimat'd that private pas
senger curs In this country travel about
r?0<) billion miles a year and
consume over 30 billion gallons of
gasoline. JOven a 10 per cent cut in
consumption, duo to loss speed, would
mean a saving of 3 billion gallons?
which Is moro than enough saving
to take care of the problem which is
now one of Mr. Ickes major worrlos. j
Gasoline prices are apt to increase.
Now taxes on gasoline may cause an
additional boost In the price. But
wo can offset those Increases, so far
as our own expenditure for gasoline
Is concerned, If we go slower as
prices go higher.
The chief objection to speed always
has been from the danger viewpoint.
Speed Is the leading cause of
accidents. This new Incentive to
stop speeding may, in addition to aiding
the gasoline problem, also result
In the saving of many lives.?ChesterHeld

Defense Bonds
Sales Increasing
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen*
than has announced that the sale of
Defense, Roods passed the billion dollar
mark on July 31, 1941. It will
be recalled that the campaign for
the sale of these bonds has been in
effect for the months of May, June,
and July, 1941.
The most pleasing part of these
salog Is that the sales of tho Series
1^( Bond, tho "people's bonds" were
37 per cent greater In July than In
June. This Is an Indication that the
savings habit is spreading rapidly
among the American people.

Personal Loans
Three years ago following the *
lead of many other banks we instituted
our "Personal Loan Department",
loans which are repaid
monthly for a period of six, twelve
or eighteen months.
To this date we have made 692
loans assisting in many ways we are
told, the salaried man or woman,
the small property owner, white
and colored, the factory worker, etc.
and certainly from our point of
view we have found the service
most satisfactory and a contributing
factor to our steadily increas*
ing volume of business.
