accommodations, but I think that
something will develope within tke
next year or so to correct this situa.
tion. 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.

that has ever affected the industrial
life of this community. The fate of
the woodworking Industry Is at stake.
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. River navlgatloo Is
neither practical nor necessary. It Is
nininy a question of providing tem
porary employment of common labor
for a dlrt-moving Job at tha dam 8lt%

workers in our esUMishe^
and all who depend on their puyni&s

more.

The bid for tbe surfacing of High

At a meetinl last Tuesday tbe com
