(Contributed) Many are askinx when the first Is- sue of "The Camden News” Is to be maikd to Kershaw county service men and women. The promoters have had many things to Itxni out before the first is sue is ready, but It will likely be mailed o<rt ^y Thursday, March 16th. The orifclti^al plahs called for a nilmeoKraphed paper, but a hitch de veloped when the post office author!- ties declared that overseas Issues must go out as first class mail. That added considerably td the expense. The balance of the cost represents postage, paper, and stencils. The prospective mailing list will be be tween 500 and 600, and if fifty per cent or more copies go overseas, at a cost of each, the oversees postage alone would be $25.00, and the re mainder to various parts of America about $15.00 A new budget had to be arranged to meet this additional cost and the response has been excellent. No per eon Of concern will be urged to spon sor an issue, but they must consider it. a privilege, and on that basis the sponsors are taking a future issue. TTie sponsors of the first issue wll )>e the Rotary and Kiwanls Clubs Howard Speaks, of the Speaks 01 ('o., has asked for an issue. The deJ hydrating plant and Myers garage are to club in and guarantee another Issue. The Beard I..aney Co. will al so sponscor one. f**iiank Shannon of Palm Springs ' California, attended a Rotary meet ing and hearing of the paper was so phased he ask<^ the privilege of con tributing $5.00 towards the expense ’•Billy” King, of Columbia, former manager of The Southern Cotton Oil Co., at Camden, and a civic leader here, mailed a check for $5.00 when he heard of "the venture. Mr. King’s son. Major .MacLean King, a Camden high school and North Carolina State graduate, is now serving in Cnina, and will receive a copy of the paper to read about his old friends. Major King bad the pleasure of dining with Madame Chlang Ka-Shek In China sometims ago. No doubt many citizens of Camden will send in a donation and business firms will want to sponsor issues. Not only ber.ause they wish to do a patriotic thing for our boys in uni form, but because of what it will mean to have 600 boys and girls in all parts of the world know they have sponsored a p:4rtk'ular issue. Those i.s uniform will return to Kershaw county some day and will not forget the helping feature to overcome homesickness, etc. It is likely that several firms will club in for an is- aue. As mentioned, there will 1m* no solicitation but there is an open in- vitation to any individual firm or citi zens to sponsor an issue. The only direct request to be made is one to Flags Given To First Baptist Church A set of ^ags, the Christian and the Stars and -Stripes, were presented to the First Baptist church Sunday by Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Byrd in honor of their son. Pvt. EHbert Byrd, who was recently sent overseas, and by Mrs. Eugene Moseley, in honor of her nephew, Cpl. William C. Little, known in Camden as “Jimmie." who is a gun ner on a B-24, serving in the Pacific theatre of war. Appropriate remarks were made by Rev. J. B. Caston, thanking the don ors for the fine spirit which prompted them to make this gift, and setting forth the high ideals of each flag. In conclusion thfse flags were dedicated to Elbert and Jimmie and to every man and woman from the Camden Baptist church who is in the service. «»f Kershaw. The citizens feel that this is due our boys and girls in uni form. The Committee has received fine (ooperation from the Camden Chron icle and its publisher. DaCosta Brown. He lias offered to print lioth sldee of a page with news and photo graphs furnished by the committee, which will carry as much news as might go into a smaller mimeograph ed paper. Our boys in upiform will not only have the benefit of "The News", but the coverage of the Chron icle as well, Mr. Brown will do this at the same cost as the Committee would be faced with in sending out an individual memeographed paper. Mr. Brown deserves the thanks of the cUizens of Camden and Kershaw County for his generous gesture. If the Committee accepts this of fer. the first issue will go out memeo graphed and the later issues will be printed. If Mr. Brown can have the first isstfe ready by March 16 to mall nut wjth the Chronicle (it will be a special inside sheet) the first issue Pfc. James Boy(% Wounded 3rd Time .Mr. and Mrs. James W.

A TRIBUTE Stepping from his training plane on Southern soil for the first time—a stranger in our midst—John Knight by his friendly sincere manner began to acquire friends. He was a young man of sterling worth, att,cactive per sonality. deep religious connetions, a charming sense of humor, and truly lived “The Golden Rule.” A lover of right, beauty, music, his fellow man. with kindness and strength of char acter ’tis natural that people liked and admlnd him. He knew' how to live and as he knew how to live, so he knew how to die, and we can pic ture Lt. John Knight, who gave his life that we Americans might live, meeting his Ood with the same gal lant. joyous, trusting spirit that marked his short, .but full, interfst- ing life. We. safe at home, bow our heads In humble respect and admiration to LL John Knight and every brave young American hero. “And In the vest cathedral leave him Ood. accept him Christ receive him.” —Contributed.
