DO WE WANT TOURIST?
Doee Camden want tourists? 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. ~ ^

Physically handicapped persons who
need surgical operations or artificial
appliances before they can hold Jobs
in war industries #111 hare an oppor
tunity to enroll for such serried at
the Vocational RehabllHation employ
ment clinic to be held at Rock Hill,
on April 16. 1945, Mr. P. 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,
