KENNEDY WANTS CAMDEN AND COUNTY TO TAKE ACTION (Continned from first lace) am heartily In favor of a goTemmeot project to deepen and stral^ten the Wateree river and the construction of lateral dams up and down the ment of the Wateree river. This is river in order to permit navigation regretable as Camden and Kershaw and flood control. In conference county would benefit immeasurably if our river bottom lands were con verted into sate farming propertied. This could be accomplished by the construction of lateral dams along the river. I am also convinced that straightening and deepening the river with the District Army engineer in the fall of 1940 we were told that two plans of Improvement had been submitted, one for power develop, ment and the other strictly for navi gation and flood control. It will be very much interested by us beie if A. C. McKaln, former president of the Camden and Kershaw county Chamber of Commwce, secretary of the Camden Rotary club and promi nent in Camden civic affairs for many years, has rounded out over 12 years as manager of the local J. C. Penny company store. He will have been with this otitrtt.indlhg organization 13 years in August. 1945. ‘Renovations which have been, .in progress at the Jocai Penny store for the past six weeks have- Just been complete. The store has been mod- v««rnized and stream-lined in a most effective manner, and with the com- plete repaintiiiK of the Interior, it presents a most attractive appear ance. All of the show cases, counters and tables have all iM-en resurfaced while a new and modern arrangement of shelf background- with department designation has eliminated the ne cessity of having merchandise dis played over the shelving, thus adding to the spaciousness of tho interior.
