Friday, May 26, 1944 NEED SELF CONFIDENCE Every community in South Carolina, in fact, we might take in more territory and say “the nation,” is giving con siderable heed to the after-the-war future. In other words, post-war planning. And in that connection, we want to call attention to an editorial, which appeared in the Aiken Standard and Review under issue of May 17. This editorial, bearing the caption “Ne^ Self Confidence,” discusses a situation which prevails in Aiken and which we frankly admit, applies to Camden. — The editor or the Afkeir paper bases Tiis editorial upon an editorial which had pre^ously appeared, in the Laurens Advertiser. The Chronicle believes that the Aiken and Laurens comment is worth while and submits it (herewith to our readers: - . . “As we see it. The Laurens Advertiser hit the nail on the head, when it says, ‘What we need, if anything, is a renewal of our self-confidence.' And that is also something to think about in Aiken. “Most everyone realizes that the South has a wonderful, future and that this section of the country is heading for a boom time of industrial growth and business expansion. But it can be made a bigger and better and more penhanent growth if we all pitch in and do a certain amount of planning and investing in the old home town and not put too much stress on getting outside capital to do the job for us. “Of course we want all the manufacturing plants we can get to locate in this immediate area. But, wihat we have in mind, is a number of small entyT)rises that can be pro moted" and operated through local stock subscriptions, thus showing our faith and self-confidence in our own ability to be real community builders. “As we see it, what the Laurens editor has to say on the 'Subject is worth reading and analyzing, for Aiken like Lau rens has plenty of money here at home to build up the com munity, if we get busy and start something. “Here is what the Laurens editor has to say. We quote: “ ‘The Advertiser approves thoroughly the theme of G. B. Sheppard’s address to the Chamber of Commerce, as brief ly reported elsewhere in this paper Mf.“ Shep^pard" TIayed7 as the reporter put it, the NOTICE , Notice li hereby glTea that porta- ant to the proTitloDB of SecUooi 7721 of Volume IV of the Code of Lows of South Carolina for 1942, and any amendmenU thereto, the ondertlcn- ed will njpply to the Secretary of State on or after Saturday, the Srd day of June, 1944, for the israance of a charter to a corporation whose name shall he “Thomas and Howard Company of Camden.

The only flaw in it was that he proposed that we quit running to the ‘Great White Father’ in Washington and in the same breath proposed running to some little white fathers like the delegation and city council. “ ‘Mr. Sheppard did not lay blame for the ‘tendency’ anywhere but he might have added that it results from the virus injected in us by the New Deal. “ ‘Builders of the Laurens Cotton Mills, the Watts Mills, the Laurens Glass Works, the Laurens Hosiery Mills and the ^urens Oil Mill, not to mention a host of other enterprises. -didjh’t dream of WashiiigtOTr"Wheh~thev wehTdowm into their pockets to build those enterprises. “ ‘What we need, if anything, is a renewal of our self- confidence’.” In Russia, along the bleak northern front, great cakes of ice clutter the rivers.
