The Home Guard came to salute and the firing SQuad fired three volleys over the graves. Taps was then sounded and the me morial affair, one of the most Impres sive in Camden history, was over. Inadvertently, the name of the late John Cantey Vlllepigue was omitted from the list of the honored dead wbp sleep in ”Little Arlington” at Quaker cemetery. Cantey Villepigue was one of the Kershaw county heroes of the first World war and was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. His death occurred only a year or so ago. Interested spectators at the me morial program was an aged colored woman and five little colored chil dren. The woman was Flora Hurst, Th^re is now a patriotic as w«ll as a profit ||^**? ***** . . . . 4to be present wHh her class of tittle colored folks. Flora Hurst’s mother had been a servant in the home of the late General John D. Kennedy and his wife, who was a daughter of Joseph Cunningham of Liberty Hill. Miss Cunningham’s own servants went with her when she became the bride of General Kennedy. The Camden chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy is named after General John D. Kennedy. Flora Hurst resides on Campbell stre^ in this city in-a home that was inherited from her father. She is proud of the fact that she has never lived'-in a rented home. She boasts of the fact that “my roosters always crow on my own yard, my own land.’’ While everyone knows that the farmel* for the Ihext several months will be busy planting and tending his 1944 crops, some of iis may overlook the fact that pulpwood is an important farm crop, just as necessary to the war effort as many field crops. The Department of Agriculture recognized this even before the war. In 1938 it published a pamphlet on “Forest Farming," which had this to say of pulpwood cutting on farm woodl&nds • “When the modem farmer talks of crops, he include^ his timber crop. His farm woods yield him cash income . . . Forest farming is recognized as an important part of agri culture that has been too long neglected ... No farmer can afford to pay taxes on idle land. Timber is a farm crop. It can be made a paying farm crop.” Since 1938 the vital needs of our armed services and war industries for pulpwood have overshadowed the farmers self-interest. motive for cutting pulpwood. Moreovef, most field products are dependent on containers made of pulpwood for marketing or shipment overseas. No farmer should lose sight of the importance of pulp wood while carrying out his 1944 farm program. PEACE AND SECURITY A few days ago one olf our boys died for his country. He was William Brown of this city, and is survived by his father and two brothers, Arthur and Marion. He was killed in an airplane crash in Texas where he was receiving his flying in structions. He is only one out of thousands of American boys who are dying for their country every day, but he is very important to us because we knew him, he lived here in Cam den, he went to the same school we do, we know ihis father and his brothers; so his death is very near to us. Deaths like his are happening all over the world today. Maybe someone you know or someone very close to you will be one of them. Are we going to let these men and boys die a futile death? They are dying so that you may live in peace and security. Should we just stand around and do nothing, just having a good time ok of what they have won with sweat and -blood ? When we look around today and see so many of the boys and girls just playing around when the world is in such a strife, when wihat they should be doing is studying and learn ing to take their place in the New World that those boys are righting and dying for. Well, come on, what are you going to do about it? After they have won the war and the world is free again, we will be responsible for keeping it that way. Will we be able to do it? —^From “The Bulldog,” Camden School Paper. Cassatt News Letter Too Late For Laat Week Mrs. C. L. McCaskill and Mrs. J. R. West.
