GO TO SCHOOL
Let sdhool bells ring. Hats off to American boys and
girls. They have shown a superb readiness and eagerness
to share in the work of the war.
. They have sold millions of War Stamps and Bonds. They
have gathered millions Of pounds of scrap. They have taken
on many home duties sp fathers and inothers can fight and
work for Victory. Many h^ye added jobs on top of 8c)iool
work.
Now the time has cgme when all of us must scrutinize
^rmore-carefully than we have in the past, alh the capaci
ties, energies and time of over teen age young people. More
than ever we need to realize ourselves and make vivid to our
boys and girls the immense importance to them and to our
nation the value of schools.
Every American boy and girl needs the best education
and training the nation can provide. Both for the children
themselves and for the future of our coun^ more high school
training than ever is needed. Education is key to the future.
As a nation we believe that our children should be wiser,
abler and more successful people than we are. We know
our schools can help them to beconje so. .For children our
schools provides the greatest oppbrtunity for development
and adults should help them to give school priority ncmber
teresting fact in connection with t|ii8
venerable city officiars birthday is
that he reaidea Juat bO feet from
where be first saw the light of day
on Oct. 4, 1846. The old home in
which he was born waa destroyed by
fire.
John Wilson started work with the
City of Camden in 1904 as health (rffl-
cer and also special policeman. He
ceased full time activity 30 years
later^ or in 1934, but later after sev
eral years as a painter and paper
hanger, returned to the employ of
the city as sewer. and plumbing in
spector. Today at the age of 79 he
still remains on the city payroll for
the reason that he knows the.sewage
system like a book and when informa
tion of same is desired by the water
and light department, 1^ is to John
W. Wilson they go.
John Wilson was married in 1890
and four years ago he and his wife,
who is Stitt' Itvtng, cefebrafed their
golden wedding anniversary. The cou
pie never bad any children of their
own but some years ago they adopted
a girl who was the daughter of a rela
tive. This girl, now Mrs. H. T. Long
of Newberry, has four children whose
greatest joy in life is to come to Cam
den for a call on Grandpa and Grand
ma Wilson.
Mrs. Wilson Is in good health and
can be seen every day walking about
in the business district
oiM now.
The biggest job of persuading must be done in com
munities whwe boys and girls live. Parents, employees,
church people and neighbors who are closest to these young
people will do the best job of putting across this campaign.

put on one of the most dassling ex
hibitions of carrying the mail we have
ever seen on a Camden or any other
football field. Seventy yards the
backfleld star cantered. For some 30
or more yards ho daneed along Uie
west‘boundary line, pulling the entire
Sumter team with him. Without losing
stride Cox suddenly cut back and left
two bewildered* white clad - warriors
gazing blankly about an untenanted
area. Cox went over the line stand-
Ing up. Again the try for the extra
point was bad. The half came to an
end with Camden leading 12 to 7.
In this half Camden gathered 6 downs
to 6 registered by Sumter.
The third quarter was scoreless.
territory and by dint of sheer pow«.
thrusts worked the ball from the IS
to the 2 yard line.
The balance of the joumey'to pay
dirt waa engineered by the invnders
at the start of tbo^ final period when
Shogart plunged over' from the two
yard line and Commings place kicked
the extra point *and Sumter yas out
tt front 14 to 12.
Then'came the climax which caused
the Camden fane to go berserk with
joy. McKay Norris went over.from
the 4 yard line after the ball had
been carried down from midfield. And
when Cox added his third joy ride
scoring spring of 40 yards to raise
the Ciamden total to 25, the local fans
were in a delirium of joy.
With the time running out Camden
got the baU on a pass interception
when play waa resumed and were
again on the march when the game
ended. Score. Camden 25, Stamter 14,
In this half Camden made 7 first
downs to 4 for Sumter.
Sumter essayed another power march
' hut uRis halted at the Camden 30.
■ Later in the quarter Sumter recovered
