Mothershed of Kershaw 1m one man who daily thanks heaveu and the war department for the existence of the military police. llo uhuddcrod today at the mere thought of JiiHt how ho and bin throe policemen, alouo and unaided, would Uavu uujuu about tho job of lvauUlUi# the 50,000 Holdiei'H whoae camps now ring this South Carolina town of 2,000 hoiiIh on all sides. The troops are those of the First corps and attached troops of Major General. Charles F. Thompson, First corps commander. They compose one of three crops?the others are the Second and Sixth corps?now on First Army maneuvers under Lieutenant General Hugh A, Drum. The chief was sitting on a Vooden bench overlooking Kershaw's Main streot today, watching the constant stream of army trucks flowing through the town in every direction with Mi' s stationed at every corner to keep it moving. "The traffic is the main thing," Chief Mothershed said. "It's huge? there's no other word for it. Everything from motorcycles and those little bantams, on up to thhke big teu ton trucks hauling the big guns, la rolling through here all the time. "It'8 just a solid mass going every which way?but in some way or other, those MP's Just keep it moving with never a break." Military policemen, he said, "are something 1 never knew about before. "The fact Is", he confided, "I never saw an MP before In my life. But these boys are one Qf the nicest buneh of officers I've ever seen?and they handles traffic better than any officers I've ever seen." "You know," he said "these maneuvers are Just about the biggest thing that ever hit this town. I've been the police chief here for 22 years, and I've never seen anything to compere with It. We'd probably have to be actually at ^ar to see anything like it again." He said the Kershaw (oik "Jiked the1 excitement" of the troop movements and the maneuvers, especially, he added, "when the fighting takes place right here in town." "Last week they were fighting all around us and about all we had to do? was Btand on our doorsteps and watch It?just like a ringside Beat. There was a big hullabaloo when the 'Blues' captured a 'Red' armored car right in the center of town," he said. The effect the troop concentration In the Kershaw area is having upon the Kershaw merchants "Is a whopping big one," the chief said?adding "even at that I guess that's a conservative statement." J'Some-of the soft drink people who Itnew this was coming just moved into Kershaw and filled a couple of warehouses to the top with crates of bottles in advance". "Some of our merchants, particularly the grocery stores, are staying open seven days a week 24 hours a day to handle all the business they get. "The grocery stores used to open in the morning and close at night and on Sundays. But now, since the troops are moving around at all hours of the night and come into town in especially large numbers on weekends, they acarely close their doors." The chief shook his head and grinned. "It's stupendous," he said.?Dave Robinson In Columbia State. Guernseys^Are Sold to Guion, Jr. Peterborough, N. H.?L. I. Guion, Jr., Lugoff, S.

The grand jury wishes to add as a result of its review of this audit that it is the grand jury's opinion that the county's affairs are being very capably handled by the respectivo officers and the tlseal condition Of thu county appeurs in be very good. Comjnlttees of the grand Jury have examined the jail, the chulnguug and the court house. On the basis of their reports we recommend that a new cook stove be obtained for the ch-tingang camp and more ventilation be provided in the kitchen and in the guards' dining room. Wo wish to recommend that some repairs bo made to tho court house. We especially refer to the roof and guttering and the stalnVay and that the walls bo reflnishod where necessary. We wish to recommend that some satisfactory surface treamont bo placed upon tho floors of the Jail In order to keep them in good condition. It appears to the grand jury that the roads and bridges of the county, considering the weather conditions and traffic conditions which have lately prevailed, are in very good condition and it appears that the authorities in charge of those roads are doing everything they can to keep them in as satisfactory condition as possible. We further recommend that the county and municipal officers make a special endeavor to check as far as possible the all too prevailing loafing on the streets and highways, especially around establishments of doubtful reputation. The grand Jury feels that if unrestricted these establishments become possible centers of more serious law violations and that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The grand Jury is especially interested in the education of our young peopl6 and therefore we submit herewith a letter addressed to ua by our capable Superintendent of Education. "I herewith submit a report to you on the work of the schools of Kershaw county. For a detailed report on finances of all school districts I refer you to the county audit for 1941. In this report I would like to call to your attention the matter of school loans during, the past five years, which you will note shows an outstanding debt obligation of $14,500? , 8,500 of (his umounl was a tempora* , ry loan arranged In order to retlro a ( bond Issue of $100,000 for Cannlm ] School District No. 1, therefore $15,000 was the actual outstanding obllga* ( lion. This $6,000 is divided between three districts, two of which made , loans for building purposes, the third for the purchase of a school bus. "All schools are now operating ftt this time with a fair attendance. The ( buildings are all in excellent condition | and are insured with the State Sinking Fund Commission. Every high school pupil of the county is provided with adequato transportation facilities to some high school, and the County Hoard of Education carries a small liability policy on all school busses jmd the children transported."
