Pvt tJulian C. Graham. Sr., of this
city, and S.Sgt WUHam B. Lenoir of
Rembeit, are in the Riviera rest ares
near Marseille, Prance, and according
to report from army headquarters,
they and all the rest of the meh of
the command, are enjoying life to the
full in this famons resorl area.
In particular they like the weather.
For they Ifave be^'on the “torture-
chamber” supply line to Russia, where
the weather was anything but nice.
It seems like a dream to have the
wither so cool and pleasant, said
Pvt Graham. “The Southern Iranian
dessert is the hottest place on earth
for about eight months of the year.
We were there through two summers
and we were beginning to believe we
were really being cooked. When we
first went there the British told us we
would all be dead if we tried to work
at our normal speed. There were
times that first summer when I
thought I’d never live the day out.
but our medics did a wonderful job
and we had no bad after effects. In
the first six weeks the men lost on
an average of 36 pounds. After that
their weight remained constant.”

7116 hearing is going to be featured
by some lively argumehta, especially
pn the part of those opposed to the
dam project. Colonel Carl R. Shaw,
district engineer from Charleston. \s
asking ail interested parties to attend
the hearing and give their views on
■the advisability of improving the
Santee river at and above the Buck
ingham Landing site, which .-is one
mile above the Atlantic Coast Line
bridge between Lone Star and Rimini.
Oral statements will be heard but
Col. • Shaw has urged, lor accuracy
sake, that all important facts and
arguments be submitted in writing or
mailed to him beforehand.
The Chronicle is in receipt of a
communication front} one of the lead<-
tng professional men of the com
munity, who through his scores of
years of residence here, understands
the peril that fMes the areg in the
event the dam is construetd and the
waters of the river backed up
In his letter to the Chronicle J. W.
C. says:
"A call for a public hearing on the
Santee-Ck>oper Buckingham Landing
dam has been issued, the hearing to
take place at the Sumter court houso
at 11 s. m. Tuesday, August 28. All
those opposed to this scheme should
get busy with either orsl or written
Btatententa in opposition to it.
'"This dsm will destroy a great deal
of wild life, and what is more Import'
ant, millions of feet of timber, which
is getting scarcer every day. It is a
farce as a navigation project, as, there
if only one community contlgu^s to
be benefttted and this community is
wall snpplied with fast freight service
by many railroads with their well
managed and expert aervice. It is too
expensive for another hydro-electric
factor, ths larger suppliers of electric
L r
current having already decided that
steam is more economical. The large
impounding of water wlH increase, the
mosquito peril, as they fly and are
blown long distances by our prevail
ing winds which are from the south
west. Mosquito control over such a
large area is doubtful, and very ex
pensive.
“As you may guess. I am oppostnl
to this dam and 1 underst-^nd that the
Chronicle is also opposed to it. If so.
while I^have little or no Influence and
cannot attend the hearing, your paper
Is largely read and does have much
influence."
