BEZELIA SHIVER, Administratrix. Camden, S. C., April 18, 1942. m. ? i i HI?WWII i I I II IIHIIPj Seriously Friends, Listen To Theo (By The Skipper) Listen Mr. Motorist. We have repeatodly referred to the tire situation and the fact that the tires now on automobiles are positively the last tfif be available for several years. How many of the motorists actually sense this faotf No doubt it la a gloomy observation, but nevertheless when the present tires not In use give out your Jalopy will cease to travel and probably be placed In storage in the family garage. We repeat again that this situation is coming and as no miracles can be expected It is going to hit all motorists. The only exception wtll be military and essential civilian needs and unless a synthetic rubber picture takes on a brighter hue even the present list of ellglbles may be cut down. So many motorists have the false Idea that after the war the rubber problem will be better immediately. This is not true. The destruction of processing plants in the present war xonea will mean that It may be a year or years before the tire situation becomes normal. Rotary Notes At the Rotary meeting last Thursday which was presided over by president Moultrie Burns, the program was in charge of Rueben Pitta, and Rueben felt that every Rotarlan should be advised about the affairs of the city of Camden and in order to do this he had as his guest Joe McKaln, a member of the city coun. oil.. At the out get Joe acknowledged (hat he was neither an orator nor financial wizard and as a member of the city council, he welcomed any criticism of a constructive nature and ^ras glad to give out to the club some ^Cacts about the city finances. He told us that the total assessed valuation of all property was one hundred and flfty-niige thousand five hundred dollars, with a total collection of taxes being around fifty thousand dollars of which twelve thousand is delinquent taxes and a olty budget of one hundred and ten thousand dollars with a sinking fund amounting to seventy-five thousand dollars, all of which la In liquid investments except eight thousand dollars which Is in real estate. The largest parcel being the old armory. He also said two hundred thousand of 6 per cent street Improvement bonds will be recalled next July and refunded at probkbly 2 1-2 or 3 per cent, which will mean a large saving to the-tax payers over a period of 20 years. Joe's figures were interesting and infprmatlve and were received with much\ applause. Guests at the club were Mrs. Joe McKafn, Jack Vllleplgue and Rotary Ann Mrs. Rueben Pitts. What are you doing to make possible that extra tankf that extra plane, that extra gun. Buy plenty of war stamps and bonds. If you don't you're just not playing the game. The Rotary club urges you do this, then help the Red Cross. .1. snamWMBEWWSWSaS??asap ? Cotton Textiles By The Millions Enough cottou shoots ami pillow ouhoh to tuck IS times tho entlro population of Camden Into bod wore purchased last year by Tho Tullmau Company. Its total bed Uueu Inventory, announced In Chicago today by Frank 8. Hlek, general storekeeper, would bo sufficient to glvo clean sheets and slips to each of the 5,747 men, women, and children of Camden every night for 190 nights. Pullmau owns 2,342,185 sheets and 1,881,387 slips, worth about 82,000,000. This uulque view Into the operations of the sleeping car company, which was probably the largeat user of linens in the world before the war expanded the requirements of the artned services, was offered to the cotton industry which In 1941 sold more than 8260,000 worth- of sheets and slips alone to Pullman. The' total estimated value of all linens In the Inventory report was put at 82,571,000 and the uunual laundry bill In recent years has exceeded 81.500.000. With the price of cotton higher now than two years ago, Pullman expects to surpass Its 1941 purchases, pro. vlded Its increased ordera for linen are not curtailed, Elck pointed out. Often called "the world's greatest housekeeper," Pullman playe host to more than 40,000 travelers nightly. Its fleet of cars, now numbering 7,000, has represented a rich eource of Income to the cotton induetry slued 1859, when the first sleeping car was put on the tracks. There are nearly 8,500,000 separate pieces of linen on cars or In company storerooms and laundries, the report showed, and the average Pullman carries with It 160 sheets and 120 slips when' K leaves on each two-night trip. Recent large-dcale movement of troops in sleeping Cars have quickened the linen turnover, but Rick said that soldiers have slept in clean linen every night on their trips, without neoessiating any restrictions on normal passenger service. cXrd of thanks The family, of the late J. W.

C? who didn't know the difference between a lathe and a planer a doxeu weeks ago, today was awarded the title of Florence's "NYA Youth Worker Moat Valuable to War Production". "The award resulted from a city wide survey by officials of the National Youth Administration and gives Gasklns place as runuer-up for state and national titleu.

Presentation of the award was made by Alex Brunson, director of NYA Residence Center ut ceremonies , attended by 160 NYA youth, and lepresentatives of various plants engaged in war production. "Young Gaskln applied to the NYA defense project at Florence a month ago without any previous Industrial experience, but with a firm determination to see action on the nation's industrial front. Assigned to the NYA (machine) shop, he quickly learned the operation of lathes and planers. His versatility, personal qualltlee, specific skills and aptitude won him the award. "Roy Gaskln is one of 250 NYA youth gaining war production experience and training In Florence shops", said Mr, Brunson, In the past month in Flotapce and throughout the state several htthilred NYA shop-trained youth h^ve been drafted by Industry to man the machines of war production," Our workers are prepared to step Into tadtntry because the new NYA training System Is patterned after the production methods of war Industries."
