If so, now is the time to benrin to make plans toward providing an appeal to the tourist traveler. Governor Ellis Amall of Georgia, is going to make his state so attractive that tourists will want to go there. The value of the tourist business is inestimable. Try and figure out what the tourist means to California and Florida. Sta tistical reports based on surveys show that the tourist busi ness amounts to many millions of dollars to not only Cali fornia ifnd Florida but to other states. ' ' What about South Carolina? Our state has mountains and seashore, it has sea and fresh water fishing, hunting and recreational possibilities and a wealth of scenic and historic sites. With the end of the war the automobile will again re> sume its place as a means of traveling from place to place. From the north will pour millions of tourists. The people of • the United-States will travel more than ever. Wh"st about Camden? To attract tourists Camden must be able to provide accommodations, which in comfort and price, will be comparable with what is offered in Florida. This means that Camden must have good hotels, good eating places'and sufficient recreational facilities. Golf, horse racing, horse shows, polo, hunting, etc., which have constituted Camden’s contribution to the recrea tional entertainment of visitors; are not sufficient. The> horse racing program would have to be enlarged and provide for flat races at frequent intervals. Shuffle board courts, good tennis courts, pasture pool areas, etc., are but a few of the features to grace Florida resorts. Aft* alVthere is no reason why Camden should not undertake a program along this line. It will mean years of effort but the results would pay off h'lndsomely. Now is the time to get started on plans—if we want tourists. First of all, we must have a modem hotel. Second we must blueprint a sport program. . If we want to keep Camden on the winter resort and sport map, the time to act is now. ~ ^ A husband who slapped his wife with a five-pound steak was sentenced to 90 days.

G. Sherer, State Direotor, announced in Colum bia. Mr. Sberer said there are thousands of men and womeu in South Carolina who hare some disabitlty or ailment which can be corrected by proper medical attention. These people, he said, are needed in textile miUs, air craft plants, shipyards and other es sential industries, but first must be made physlcslly fit to work. Most of them are unable to pay for medical examinations, operations and hospital ization. It is not only a humanitarian service, but a wartime necessity and “good business" for the Government al agencies to bear the expense of “physical restoration”. Mr. Sherer said. He said those who are accepted for this phase of vocational rehabilitation will be placed under the care of com petent doctors—specialists, surgeons and physicians—and In recognized hospitals. After they have had an op^ eratlon or undergone treatment to correct their disability they will be given trade training if necessary to qualify them for Jobs. “Wherever possible. we_ are uslnA the services of specialists and hospit als in the home communities of clients,*’ Mr, Sherer said. The one-day Job clinic will be held in conjunction' with the U, 8. Civil Service and the U. S. Bhnployment Service of the War Manpower Com mission. Similar clinics will be held in Spartanburg, (^enwood, Aiken, Orangeburg, Rock Hf|l, Sumter, Flo rence, Waite rboro. and Klngstree dur ing the month of April.
