I In my talks with experts since the Utsion started, there seems to be Vo lines of thought which am quite fferent. Some feel that early Allied cesses will bring about a “peace re.” This would be especially rlsh on railroads, heavy Industry other war stocks; yet some arket analysts are taking the oppo- posltion. They are Inclined to boUish on everything whether the lies are initially successful or meet Ith heavy reverses. |lt may be that the pattern of this invaaloa will follow that a«t the Italian campaign.

Cox, better known to Camden fans as Dickie Cox, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Cox, Mill street, whp is one of the many members of the Cox family to win fame as athletes. Dickie, it seems, played on the Georgia 1943 football team but is now ^dergolng draining-at Camp liejetmBr “ CT Here is what Pope has to say about Dickie: "Letters from Dickie to this sport base, say he is enjoying every minute of it (meaning his training at Camp Lejeune) but is looking forward to the time when she will be really in the thick of it, and those who know him will vouch for the* authenticity of that statement. For, in the red and black garb of a University of Georgia grldder, Cox was always right in the middle of the fight, right where it was thickest. "Dickie is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James C. Cox, 12il Mill street. Cam- den, S. C. His brother, Hugh (Shot) Cox, ex-Unlverslty of North Carolina gridiron standout, has been offered a contract to play football for the Green Bay Packers, Scouts say that "Shot’s" build and ruggedness should enable him to stack up equally against any man In the pro league. "Hugh is now in Marine O, C. S. at Qnantico, Va. The younger Cox battled Youngstown George Oaraslc for the left guard spot all season, the duo dividing playing time at the post. After the season he was a candidate for the Georgia basketball team and would have seen plenty of action ha^ he not gone into the Marines. " 'I wouldn’t swap the training period I went through under Coach Butts for anything in the world right now. You'll never know how much that conditioning he gave me helped me and all the others who went into the service In or after the footb^ season. It would be nice if we could all come back after the war and play football together,’ writes Dickie." Detroit Lady Iii Praise of (Camden Writes Letter of EBtl|»iasm Orer Queen City of South.
