SMALL To be just a number among hundreds or to be an in dividual with more sympathetic and interested care? That is the question often when deciding on a hospital. We are fortunate in this county and community to have one of the qualified smaller hospitals at our service. . Although the war demands have touched the Camden hospital greatly, the problems are not quite so hard to over come as they are in the larger institutions, situated in the larger cities. < Under the able management of Manis Baruch and with the cooperation of the directors, plus the capable work of the director of nurses, the dietician and a faithful office staff, the Camden hospital has been carrying on through these difficult times in a most commendable manner. The employees on the whole have been faithful and the ones who have stood steadfast during these changing times can really feel that they also have served their country and their community. To be known by and to know the various doctors and nurses personally is another feature that adds to the qualifi cations of the smaller hospital. The mental attitude of a patient is half the battle for health. With kindly and in terested professional care and with friends and family close by, the battle is usually won.—Contributed. BY ALL MEANS REPAIR IT A prominent industrialist has suggested that the crack in the Liberty bell .be welded, so that jrith its original tone restored so that on the day that victory is’ won ovef'aH' the enemies of liberty, the smybol of liberty can be heard by the miracle of radio across the land and around the world. Before Congrress takes action that will insure the repair to the crack in the historic old bell, it has been suggested that it first restore liberty to the American people by abolish ing the maze of Washington bureaus, commissions, unneces sary government departments, directives, etc. If Congress does that, the American people will rejoice to the fullest for then again they will be able to work where they please, for what they please, go where they want, eat and wear what they want, engage in business of their own choosing, hire whom they please and be given the oppor-» tunity their forefathers had to either succeed or fail in life according to their own ability. LIVELY TIME PROMISED Sirens WUl Tell Of Jap Surrender Miss Mary Holden Completes Training Majnor McCoridn" Plan To Mako PaUic End of War Major F. N. McCorkle. ip an an nouncement Thnraday morning, stated that the entry of Russia into the Japanese war. together with the pow erful new weapon, the atomic bomb, used by the United States, would un doubtedly bring the war with the Japb to an early conclusion. The mayor stated that he had ar ranged to hare the fire sirens sounded when news of the surrender of Japan Is recelred. The sirens will sound with a rising and falling inflection, thus distinguishing the end of the war notification from a regular fire call. The sirens will sound for-a two minute Inte^al at 15 minute intenrals the first hour and thence on the hour for six hours. Cassatt News Items A lively protest will be in evidence when the hearing upon the proposed Buckingham Landing site dam is held at Sumter on Tuesday, August 28. And these protests will be right. The building of a huge dam at the site in question would flood some of the south’s best hardwood timberland, destroy much pastureland, ruin the lumbering^ industry and in general be catastrophic in extent. And for what—ab solutely nothing. The value gained would not offset the damage that would be suffered. Camden and Kershaw county will be well represented at the Sumter hearing and will add greatly to the protest that* will be voiced. MAKES US WONDER A BIT The action of the mass of the British people in tossing Winston Churchill out of office after the courageous and in spiring leader had saved the nation from alien domination is food for thought here in America. Churchill never faltered in his skilled leadership of his country in England’s darkest hour. Now that the Johnny Bulls feel safe and can see greater financial gain through the new socialist leaders, they show their gratitude to the man who led them to victory by giving him the bum’s rush. Makes the people in this country wonder just when we will get somd of those samples of “gratitude;” '* • Mr. and Mra. J. L. Cooper left last Friday for a racatlon in North Caro lina.
