Appeals To Citisenry To Refrain From Absenteeism (Continued from first page) but tin fronts so thut we may continue to onjoy.tho rights of u free people. Mr. und Mrs. America are you go Iuk to be guilty of absenteeism? As bus been stated, absenteeism, as Is used now, means absence from a Job essential to tho war effort. It should be the purpose and the determination of every resident of Camden and -Kershaw county, irrespective of race or creed, to see that there is not a single case of absenteeism In tho Rod Cross War Fund effort. The writer has in the past several weeks, had almost first hand knowledge of .what is going on behind the scenes In the present War-Fund oathpuign. Wo have listened to tho reports* of women who have been engaged In this great canvas and wo are Justly proud of tho people of Ko;shaw county. For Instance?we can tell you the names of people who Ijave saved for many mouths In order to do their part In contributing to this glorious cause. We have viewed word pictures of the almost empty larder in some of the homes; wo have listened to tho story of tho family of Bill Jones, staggering along on tho, barest of wage; wo have seen so many things that have caused our Adam's apple to do strange tricks, and we have been proud-?so proud?-that these folks are Americans. Those /oiks are really sacrificing to givo to the Hod Cross. We know of one instance which reflects so many more.' where the dearest, sweetest elderly lady handed tho Red Cross worker a five dollar bill. We have known her ever since wo came to Camden und have loved and admired her for her beauty of character and sweetness of personality. She always smiles although we know full well the handicap under which she staggers In the brave effort to carry on. When we hear of people like that, we feel very proud that we are Americans. To the good people of Camden and Kershaw county let me appeal to you to give, give ai\d then some more. Let us make the 1943 War Fund Drive a shining example of the patriotism, of the men and women and the boys and girls of Camden and Kershaw county. Sincerely, Skipper. REESE B.

(Samfott Hmttg IMjnp "w"'" , ^ * TELEPHONE 149 **' ' . ^ - - - A Letter From Africa This Is h letter written to his uncle, Mr. John T. Nettle*. Sr., by his nephew. Ffc William (Hilly) Lindsay. w4?o Is "somewhere In Africa," and should he titled "Why Censors Get (Jruy." Somewhere In Africa 2 February, 1943 My dear "Uhk." 1 undertake to forward my grootntgs only after having checked with the rules and regulations relative to censorship that are in effect here. First of ail allow me to put you at ' ease by stating in clear undeniable truth that we arrived here safely as do all of the people that reach here. Before wo left where we were for (tore, we hadn't the slightest Idea that i Our trip would ultimately find us arriving here, from there. However, after we left where we were, in what we left by, and after traveling a glvou number of days that cannot be confused with the number of nights, we found ourselves arriving here and our transfer complete. The weather here Is Just as It is today. In fact the weather Is as It should bo at this time of the year In this country. Now that' makes It quite unlike the weather where we were before we came hero. Now without being imprudent or divulging the exact location of our assignment, the land and the air here are just as they should be in this paVt 1 of the world and not to be compared ( with the type found In that hernia-' phere where we wore formerly. The mention of distance is taboo, but may your anxiety bo relieved in the knowledge that from there to here (one i way) is exactly the same as it is from here to there (one way.) Concerning our clothing, we wore obliged to bring along all that we ! wear hero as what is worn hero wo never wore there atul what is worn here tnkos the pla^e of what we wore there. Yes, you nro correct-in concluding that you peoplo there and wu people here are wearing clothing that is not similar. The time hero is the same time that we had t^iere. only It differs somewhat. That is to say, the time we left there was like the time It was here but it is not the same time. In other words, the time is like the time that t>hey normally hanre here while the other time, while you have time, is the same time that you would have there at the same time. I might Bay that the inhabitants here understand the language they speak quite well. Their mode of dress is just the thing you would see if vou were to see them in snapshots taken here. Rut no photography is permitted, so no snapshots. Their homes are not like the homes we left behind us, but here we shall remain until we go somewhere else. Well, now you know (hat we are where we are, safe and in good health. With all my love to 'Auntie" and the rest of the family, I remain. Your favorite nephew. 1 Bill. PVT.
