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.
