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.

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.

i newspaper along with the following
article, la th? son ol Mr. and Mi* '
(.Henry 1). (tasking. of Kershaw, It. '
F. D. No. 2. And their many friends
In the community will congratulate
-them upon the auccesg of their son,
who has evidently ael out"to make
a record In the Industrial world:
"Roy (Jenkins, 20, Kershaw, S. 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. The award
was by unanimous vote of local NYA
project managers and shop supervisors.
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." '
