LITTLEJOHN WA8 SPEAKER BEFORE CAMDEN ROTARY CLUB ' ? , At the Rotary mooting last Thurs- j day which was presided over by Pros-' ldent Moultrie Burns it was announc-1 ed with pride and pleasure that this club was the first civic, fraternal and social organization In Kershaw coun-, ty to register one hundred per cent: for civilian defense. It simply fur-. thers the ideal of "service above Belt." - -' -i The club's guest was Alfred Kennedy, of West Wateree, Mr. Kennedy being the son of the late General John D. Kennedy, ambassador to China during President Grover Cleveland's administration. R. E. McCarty had the program and since all Rotary ; clubs were celebrating China day, his guest speaker was the Rev. John T.. Littlejohn, of Blshopvllle, who at cne I time lived in China for a few years1 and his presence as speaker was timely and appropriate. Mr. Littlejohn said that the population Of China ranged around four hundred million within an area of four million square I miles. Those who read Pearl Buck's book "The Good Earth" must realize [ that' the land in China Is very good but there is a great struggle for existence. ^ The Chinese make their fertilizer from river mud, and their subsistence crops are rice, wheat, and millett, and a tall grain which the poorer class usese for beading and housing. The chief beverage is tea and the country is the fourth largest consumer of cotton. The speaker said a tradition Is to place food on graves which are made to resemble our potato mounds?the food being placed there for the dead to be eaten on his return and. they worship their ancestors. These of course being Confucius' belief, and their religion Is mixed?being Confucianism, Buddism and Darwism, and thru the goodness and Intelligence of Generalissimo Chian Kal Check and his American educated wife, Christianity is rapidly making headway and they continually look to Americans as their good friends. Rotary suggests, be neighborly with your friehds and friendly with your neighbors and give to Red Cross war fund, buy defense stamps and bonds and help your army, navy, marines and air force stop the goosestepper and the yellow slant-eye. w On Dean's List Of interest to friends will be the announcement that Miss Fraces Rhame's name has been placed on the dean's list at Columbia College.
