Friday, January 28, 1944 Cunden Man Is Given Cash Award For An Invention SURPASS THE PEAK Kershaw County should and will, within the specified period of time designated for that purpose, meet and surpass its assigned quota in the Fourth War ^nd Sale now in progress. - Its citizens will manifest that fact in the same way th_e^ did in the First, Second and Third War Loan drives by their prompt pledges aijtd purchases of the bonds, which represent not only'^a paying investment for themselves but also an investment in the present and the future of their nation by loaning funds to pay for the production of the ——fighting equipment of its military, forces in their attack and winning of a total and final victory over the Axis. The quota of thif county in the Fourth War Loan, set CiTlUan workora at Shaw Field, tuimbarins aoma 700 men and women, were preaent for apeclal cerenumlea at $614,800 by the treasury department for the national gov- 'Dili emment, is less than a million dollars. That in all probability will be reached and exceeded before the date designated for the close of the bond sale. That every citizen, young and old, in this county dsires and will endeavor to do his full part in that way as he has in all others in helping to wrin the war and hasten the ultimate total victory over the Axis is certain. Thousands of men of this county and many of its women are in the nation’s military service in the war. There must not and will not be any lack of adequate .mecTianical equip ment and other supplies for the military forces of w'hich men and women, the pride of not only this county but all others in the state and nation, are a part in the struggle to defeat the Axis. That is why the Fourth War Loan drive is sure to be met in full and over-subscribed in this as w’ell as all other counties of the state and nation. In other w'ords the national quota which has been as signed for each state and the proportionate quotas of Coun ties wilLbe met with prompt action aird toyal spirit, expressed in pledges and purchases of bonds by each and every county resident, old and young, who thereby will be making a sound and paying investment for hifnsetf and will at the same time be assisting and co-operating in the ultimate and final success of the nation’s wartime military effort, which must terminate in the total defeat of the Axis. .to tta« bssic pUot school’s gym Mon day afternoon for the presentation of cash awards to seren men whose In ventions and saggestions wUl save the government more than 111.000 per year and approximately 8,000 man boors of work.

Bailey of Rembert, was awarded |200 for inventing a heating jacket for Thiokol gone, need for re pairing leaks In gas tanks. It was pointed oot that prior to the invention of this Jacket it was impossible to re pair leaking fuel tanks in planes in cold weather becanse the gun would not work at* low temperatures. At one time, during s cold spell, more than 60 cause the guns wonld not work. With the heating jacket on the gun, repair on planes with leaking tanks can be carried out no matter what the tem perature may be. Lather O. Funderburk,-Jr., of Cam den, also took a $200 cash prise for big modification of a fitting cockpit encloser-latch on the canopy of air plane.

C. McKain and headed by Senator W. T. R^feam as chairman. The committee was well se lected by President McKain, listing as it does the mayor of the City, heads of the two banking institutions, leaders in industry and business as well as outstanding men tn the pro fessional field. Post-war planning is to the fore in every city, county and state in the union, and woe betide the community that is not prepared when the war ends.^ The pattern of Camden and Kerahaw county’s post-war effort must be made now—-not tomorrow—not next week—or next month. There must be no delay in formulating an intelligent program. We have much to be thankful for—and in particular may we' Calf attention to one outstanding advantage thatCamdem / has over thousands of other communities. We are on the “main-line.” By the “main-line” we mean that this City is fortunate in being an important cog in the Seaboard Railway system. We are on the “main-line” of one of the outstanding railroad systems of the nation. Trains between the north and south on this great system operate through Camden. Definitely we are on the “main-line” and we want to remain there. Other cities, thousands of them, are on a side-line. We have ^mething to offer industry—because we are on tne ^‘main-ling.” There is much the Chamber of Commerce post-war plan ning committee can do. We have a lot of faith in the mem bers of this group. We feel President A. C. McKain showed excellent judgment when he named the committee personnel. We believe the future of Camden can well be left in the hands of such a, strong group. .
