PEACE PROBLEMS
“Olr,~wHen can men get back again to problems such as these:
Will bass bite best on worms or frogs, or east or west the
breeze?
When'can we meet again on streams to argue, anglerwfte.
To just what sore of pretty fly the rainbow trout will rise?
Time was—now long ago it seems—when none, with need
to earn,
Were perch and pickerel plentiful, was oft our chief concern.
And this our greatest problem was, on many a summer day.
When none of us had a bite; should we go home or stay?
'Not now, until the war is won and peace is ours once more,
Are we to spare the time to drift and dream, away from shore.
We’ve graver problems on our minds 'till Hitler comes to
terms.
Than this: Are black bass taking frogs or hungering for
worms? f —^Edgar A. Guest.

CHRONICLE IS PRAISED
The Camden Chronicle, along with other of the news
papers of the nation, has received from Secretary o’! the
Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., commendation for the pap
er’s support of the Fifth War Loan drive which broke all
previous records.
In a letter of congratulation and appreciation Morgen
thau thanked the papers for their unselfish support of the
drive. He cited the fact that greater advertising and edi
torial support had been forthcoming on this drive than on
any previous one despite the difficult paper shortage.
The Camden public schools wUl
open for the 1944-46 school term Tues
day, September 5, according to J. G.
Richards, Jr., superintendent. ”
In an announcement this week Mr.
Richards cautions students to com
ply with the health laws ’in regard
to vaccination against small pox. He
also requests that all pupils must be
entered on the first day of school

COTTON MARKET PAYS DIVIDENDS
A« one of the worthwhile achievements of a finely
organized Meix^ants association in Lancaster, the establish
ment of a cotton market is cited as being outstanding. In
fact, the Lancaster News states that this cotton market pro
gram is worth all the money that has ever been expended on
the merchant group. A total of $376,0(M) was paid to farmers
who sold their cotton at Lancaster last fall. Practically every
check was‘cashed in Lancaster and naturally most of the
money thus received was spent with Lancaster merchants.
Now the Lancaster Merchants association is busy seeing to
it that the city ‘has as good a market this fall.
IT CANT HAPPEN HERE—BUT IT WILL
Those-Southerners who keep insisting that “it can’t hap
pen here’’ would do w«ll to familiarize themselves with what
has happened in Philadelphia in the strike of employees of
the Philadelphia Transportation company.
When the Fair Employees Practice committee, appoint-
^ by PreMdeht RooseveTt to’ prevenl racTal“3iwrimihatibn,
ordered the Philadelphia Street Railway company to put on
eight negro motormen, and the company complied, the white
workers all went out on strike. The strike was completely
effective and not a street car moved. War workers were
unable to get to their work and production of w.ar materials
was delayed. The agencies charged witl\ the conduct of the
war naturally began to howl.
Well, what happened? Was there a demand that the
President’s Fair Employe,e8 Practice committee withdraw its
demand upon the company to appoint negro motormen until
later when war production was not so important, and then
iet-tbe issue Joe fought out at a-time-when it would not affect
the war? No—-all of the blame was placed on the white
workers who had walked out.
And then what w«s done? The United States Army was
ordered out to force these employees to return to their work-
an(J the leaders of the strike were placed under arrest.
Don’t fool yourself that “it can’t happen here.’’ It can
and it will if we sit quietly by.—Lancaster News.
Yes, war bonds are the best investment in the world.
They pay dividends in safety and 4he light to live as we
please.

By the Center Reporter
It is so pleasing that on every week
end of late there has been Camden
citizens who visited the Center to In
spect its attractive setup and its
equipment. It is hoped that many
others will oome and see for them
selves just why Cam#en should be
proud of this project. Among the
visftors this past week-end were
several from out-of-town who were
high in their praises of the Center.
The number of visiting service men
using the Center this past week-end
was large, as has been the usual oc
currence since the closing of the avia
tion school here. A check-up showed
that a large portion of these men are
constant week-end visiters tO„Camden.
They like Camden because of Its
graciousness and peacefulness. It is
this peacefulness that the boys re
turned from overseas are seeking. You
can not tell who all of this class are
because for reasons of their own, Aey
hanrnr
their purple heart bars, but in the Cen
ter one can easily spot them by the
strained look on their faces.
Ice cold punch was served tp all
visitors Saturday night at the usual
dance dnd Sunday during open house
hours. A large number of club girls
were present, but even at that the
number was not sufficient. New girls
are registering every week and old
ones, who have been negligent in their
Center duties, are returning, so it. U
hoped there will soon be enough pres
ent to help entertain the service men.
