STAND ON THEIR RECORD
The Chronicle haa a deep Interest
hi the official announcement that
Mayor F. N. McCorkle la offering for
reelection at the March primary.
An added element of Interest features
a report from authoritative source
that the six counctlmon In office will
all ask re-election.
Thin Is as It should be. The city
officials, a majority of whom have
served during the punt two administration
periods aud all of them during
the lkat two-year regime of
Mayor McCorkle, have doue a apteudid
job. ,
In the preseut period, with a war'
of unheard of magnitude now gripping |
the entire world. It bohoovos the citizens
of America to consider wisely
and woll. The Chronicle believes
that It would be the height of folly
for Camden citizens to make any rad
lcut changes in tho present administrative
set-up. The group of mou who
have guided the destiny of the com-i
munlty for the past several years
have given of lime and effort to do j
what The Chronicle believes, bus J
been a splendid job. As pointed out, .
the administrative process of the past j
lew years has been marked by pur- ^
pose and determination and we think i
the results have been most striking
and satisfying. |
The Camden of today is a decided j
Improvement over the Camden of five
or six years ago. Camden today Is i
a modern and alert community.
Much has been accomplished in Im-(
provements. beantlttcatlon and In
growth. The superior progresslveness
which has featured the udmthls- ^
trative program of the past several
years' has been an Incentive for a
like spirit on tho part of business- j
men in general. The business district!
for Instance, has experienced a veritable
"face-lifting." New stores, new (
shops, attractive nnd brilliant noon
signs. flouresceut lighting in stores, ^
shops and offices, ull these aro -but
a few of the visible effects of pro- (
gress.
The Chronicle can point to many
Instances of intelligent and construe-,
tlve administration. Tho now base-l
ball plant, one of the best In the j
atato, miles of new highways, the ad-.
' dltion of a purchasing unit, all con
stltute an accurate definition of modern
progress. '
This same administration haa al-[
ready paved the way for many addl-1
ttonal improvements. The extension ji
of the sewage system to provide re-j I
lief for the business houses nnd I
homes east of Mill street; the construction
of more pavements, tho i
building of sidewalks and the repluc- I
tug of many inadequate water mains, t
together with provision for water maiu I
extensions in other areas of the city, t
all this?Is due to the present group t
of city fathers. Considerable credit I
is due the city for the handsome new i
armory on United States Hlghwa} t
N'o. 1. Kxtensive improvements to
the city abbatoir. installation of mod- <
,?rn traffic lights and street mark- |
i11Kh. ono hundred per cent cooperation
with various civic and charitable
groups, cooperation with the recreational
defense program during
the maneuvers, paving of Green street
and other highways near the Public
Itelatlons headquarters of the First
Army?these are but a few of the
-mbstantial Items which have characterized
the administration of city af- ^
fairs. /
The Chronicle, with a sense of
esponslblllty as the mouth-piece of
die citizenry of Camden, with the fuure
of the community foremost In 1
ts thoughts and with a keen desire '
o have Camdon "carry on" In the fulire
as In the past firmly believes 1
.ho Interest of our city can beat be '
icrved by the continuance of the pre- 1
?ont administrative forces.
In these days of storm and strife, 1
*'o most emphatically cautiou the
public not to rock the boat.

Chamber Plans Real
Estate Exchange
The Camden Chamber of Corn*
merce la contemplating the establishing
of a real eatate exchange in connection
with the operation of the
Chamber. Thia atep la being taken
upon the auggeatlon of the federal
government.
The rapid expaqtton of Aviation
School in Camtyfep baa created a
heavy demand for accommodationa
auch aa houaea and apartmenta. To
inaure the continuance of the expauaiou
program at the flying field, adequate
and modern accommodationa
muat be aaaured.
At the preaent time, Camden baa
about reached a point of saturation
ao far aa suitable accommodationa
are concerned. While there are sQme|
vacant dwellings in the community,
a survey by federal houaing officials
showed that they are not adequate
in that they do not have a proper
heating and plumbing equipment. I
The Camden Chamber of Commerce
has for several years maintained a
bureau for the accommodation of people
who aeek to locate here either for
a few weeks or permanently. This:
bureau carries a Hating of homes and i
apartments and also rooms, these
listings being prpvlded by real estate:
agents and property owners. Karly |
last fall, the list of the Chamber of
Commerce was exhausted. In view of
the dally request for living quarters,
the Chamber has given an affirmative
response to the government for the
inauguration of a real estate exchange.
The bureau will be a nonprofit
venture and its success will
hinge upon the cooperation of real
estate agencies and property owners
who have places to rent. It will go
a long way In avoiding duplication
of effort and should prove a great
value i^o home seekers aud also to
the officers of the Southern Aviation
School.
The Chamber, in order to carry
through the project, will expand their
present listing program and-monthly
report on accommodation conditions
will be sent to the Federal
Housing Administration. Copies will
slso he sent to the Southern Aviation
school.
"The establishing of a real estate
exchange is no more nor less than a
survey of available housing facilities
in Camden" said Secretary Heath of
the Chamber of Commerce.
"In a measure the survey will be
to gather data from which to determine
whether Camden is entitled to
be declared h critical defense area."
The city will have to show a shortage
of housing accommodations for
persons employed in defense work.
Declaring the city a critical defense
area would entitle contractors to
make application for priorities on articles
on the critical list to be used
in construction and repair of homes.
Real estate and building firms will
be asked to cooperate in the survey.
Proper cards will be issued for the
registration of vacant property. Steps
must be taken immediately to have
adequate housing for all defense
workers and that local contractors
and persons employed In the building
trades can attain a maximum of employment
for the year.
