CAMDEN SHOULD ACT
r * • %
IfYor no other reason than a 'matter of fairness towkrd
^ the many hundreds of boys and girls who cannot go to col
lege but wiho could arrange to stay another year in high
school, we believe that Caipden should have a twelfth grade.
FOrty-four of the forty-eight states in the nation offw
the- twelve-grade- school system.- Four do not-and of -this
quartet, Soruth Carolina is one to still adhere to the outmoded
standard.
South Carolina should be with* the progressive states
and communities in the matter of education. -The State calls
attention to the fact that this area boasts oif some of the best
highways in the nation and then inquires “It would be rather
contradictory, wouldn’t it, to ride on roads that~have no su
perior to attend a school whose course was below, national
par?”
We have no criticism of the work that is being done at
the present time in our public schools, and we do not wish to
appear as being critical of the teaching staff. They are doing
the best they can under the present inadequate system. They
cannot remedy t^e situation—but our state executives can—
and should. In other words, it is up to the state board of
education to make it mandatory on all school systems to be
12 years affairs. - _
Sumter, Spartanburg and Charleston have already taken
the initiative of getting into the front rank of progressive
education. Columbia plans on joining the parade. What
about Camden?
We like the way the Marion Star views the matter. Says
the Star;
“Certainly add it—that twelfth grade in'our high
schools. It will prove to be the only college which will be
attended by many students. There are citizens who always,
in some mysterious way, manage to keep their children in
school, so long as they can be kept in the home neighborhotid,
but who^ are utterly unable to pay the costs of sending them
to collegfes away from home. Doubtless, if a twelfth grade is
added at Marion High ^hool, there will be many students
who will take advantage of it, instead of dropping all studies
for life, at the completion of the eleventh grade. And—let
us repeat *wihat we have said here many times—go down in
the grammar grades and give added emphasis,to the funda
mentals otf education—the age-old stand-bys—the three R’.s—
readin,’ 'ritin’ and ’rithmetic. Entirely too many college
graduates are unable to properly read, write and ‘figger.’
They have trained brains, maybe, but they certainly cannot
prove it by any exhibition of knowledge of the essentials.”

1944: THE DECISIVE YEAR
This New Year we’re beginmng may be the decisive year,
of the war. The Pacific offensive already is under way, aim
ed at tne 'heart of the enemy—Tokyo. In the Atlantic and
Mediterranean, the Allies are poised for a concerted attack
u^n Hitler’s European Fortress, are even now administering
their first shattertng^tdOWsT
In hundreds of ways and on scores of fronts, pulpwood is
hastening the day of reckoning.
Flying Fortresses rain destruction over Nazi Europe;
their deadly bombs contain explosives made of pulpwood. Al
lied (fighters inch their way throu^b"South Pacific jungles;
aiding their advance are supplies packed in paper products
and dropped by parachutes manufactured from puipwoqd.
If you can swing an axe, you can speed victory this year.
Every cord of pulpwood you cut means more smokeless pow
der, more blood plasma containers, more shell casings. Every
cord cut now brings victory nearer. —
As the tempo of our attack increased, so does the need

THE AAF SALUTES THE WAC
, The Army Air Forces, from Generals to Privates, retently
sto^ at attention before a group of proven good s^diers —
the Women’s Army Corps.. .
Busy preparing every mightier aerial blows against the
enemy, officers and men otf continental AAF stations paid tri
bute to the members of the Corps serving with them. The day
was officially proclaimed as “The Army Air Forces Salute the
WAC” day and suitable ceremonies Were scheduled at the
m(pre than 150 installations where Air-Wacs are stationed.
Our Army Air Forces form the moat destructive military
power in history, and their strep^h is growing steadily great
er. At first glance it would seem a bit strange that this force
should single out women, whom Americans regard as gentle
and mild, to praise for helping to make the AAF more devas
tating.
How do women add to the bomb loosed over Berlin?
The answer is that women can do more important work
directly concerned with the vital operations in the AAF than
in probably any other type of military effort. This is true par
ticularly in the training program.
Air Wacs direct landings and takeoffs, give ground in-
strucUon in radio and instrument flying, repair radios, motors
and armament, rig and pack parachutes, btoerve and forecast
weather, and do many other important tasks.
General H. H. Arnold, (]k>mmanding General of the AAF,
and many other key officers have commended them on the
work. The Air Wacs are all volunteers who were‘requested
but not required to enter the service of their country.
“I have been highly gratified with the record of the
members of the Corps pow on duty with the Army Air For
ces,” General Arnold recently stat^.'
All America should be as proud. . «
