There is no question but the tourists are going to return to the highways and that w« can look for a big motor movement through Cam den on TJ. 8, Highway No. 1, beginning in a few weeks. That Is going to be a big thing for our tourist homes and restaurants.” Said a local church leader! “Our prayers for peace, prayers that were offered up by the many millions of God-fearing Americans, have been an swered. Our faith has been Justified. God has been good to us.” And the young lady who had only a few weeks ago walked from the marriage altar on the arm of hw life pcutner: “Oh goody, now we can get an electric Ice box and stove.” It was Indeed an interesting ex perience to listen to the many and varied reactions to the war’s end. I could roll back the pages of time to that Sunday in 1941, when covering a polo game at the field near the Sea board sUtion - and chatting with a group of English cadets, we were stunned by a voice coming from the radio of my car: “Pearl Harbor Is be- lag bombed by the Jape.” ril never forget the expression on the faces of those British boys. One of them, a handsome blonde lad, you'll proth ably remember him, looked at mq and said: “That means America is in the war.” And the iMopIe of Camden today realise what it meant to the world to have the Americans come Into the war. It presaged victory for Allied Arms. England was being beaten to her knees. France was through. German arms were triumphant Then Japan made the colossal error of his* tory. That sneak attack at Pearl Harbor. America, ill-prepared for war. arose in anger. Three and a half years later, the forces of the United Na tions, led by Americans, In arms, in planes, in ships, In^ ammunition and food supplies, had beaten Germany and finally on Ang. 14, a new national holiday now, forced the unconditional surrender Japan. Old Glory never looked more bean- tHM to Gamden - eyec than U did Wednesday of . las* week. Many busl ness men had gone to their stores 'te tidte out their curb dacs. The grand old red, white and Mue whipped h* the breese atop the city hall, the poet office and from other Maffs. It meant more to all of us than qver before. And out of that Tuesday night of cheering, •. screaming, kissing, back slapping, Camden has settled down to face the future with a grin and a determinsklofi to do in peaoe Just what was done In war—^in. An elderly man, who is near four score years in age, slapped me oa the back as I met him that Tuesday evening and said: “Skipper, do you know that tomorrow’s morning jMiper will not have any bad news. Isn't that something to be grateful about.” Yes Indeed, John Wilson, we nope tihak the day of bad news, et.iiewa«eC death, destruction and carnage is past We have won our objective, we hope— that ot world peace.

Tbers are about 80 woodworking oon- cerna In and around Sumtar alone. Tbe annual business of these wood working plants maintains abont 82 per cent or more of Sumter’s population. Blghty-flve per cent of tbe raw ma terials used In tksae plants during the past 28 years baa come from tbe river swsmpc. Tbe last remaining stands of hard wood - timber are in the Santee, Wateree and Congaree river bottoms. The proposed Buckingham Landing Project will destroy the moet import ant area, by snbmeiglng' all tbe fertile Congaree and Wateree valleys, timber and farms, and many old landmarks, schools, churchst, homes and ceme- mrfes will be forever wiped out Not only will the original stands of timber be destroyed, bat tbe future growth win be oat forever. Timber is a growing crop, the only seif-re placing natural resource. When oil and mlneras are once removed from tbe ground, they oanqot he replaced, but wood grows on forover. Hard- waods are slower growth than Pliia but MDsl guBB, oaks and othM* spselas grow vsry rapkly and by selective cut ting a sustained yield can be harvest ed perpetually.
