TWO ‘^nookie” Hunter Writes Letter To Southern Airways Calvert School Ndw In Operation At the Court Inn Former Awiatkm Officaiil Meota Many An^ajk Lada “Orer There” Camden people who were acquaint ed with A. R. (Snookie) Hunter dur ing the days when Southern Aviation was in operation at the Woodward airport will be Interested in the letter that he sent to Prank Hulse of South* ern Airways. Here is what “Snook ie” has to say: "Dear Frank: July M. *46 “Guess you will be surprised to bear from me after so long a time, but as you know I am pretty poor about this letter writing. I haven't been here too long, but am now getting settled enough to get down to g few letters. “'Thought that you would like to know that I do believe that half the India-China division is made up of old Southern Airways boys. No kid ding, 1 have seen more boys over here that have worked for the company in the past. Just to name a few, John Ransome, who used to instruct at Decatur; Logan from Atlanta, Owens from Decatur, are here at this base with me; C. C, Webster, Harold Smoak, Fred Stafford, Holder Watson, Charlie Brotherton, qnd a number of others are scattered out around here at other bases in th«‘*-valley. 1 also, saw Prank Poe and Horace Howard in China last week. They are not getting a lot of flying time and 1 think that-we are doing much better toward that 760 hours here in the valley. Most of the boys, like myself, dre flying C-46s. but a fjsw are on C-JO Booms and C-64s. •'All the fellows I see over here have a lot of questions to ask about the company and 1 sur4 do wish, if possible, you could send ‘'The South- emslre’ so that I could kwp up with some of the things that are going on. I forgot to mention further up, but ran into one of my old Camden stu dents here at this base. He must have bad a bit of bad luck as he has been missing over the ‘Hump’ for about two weeks. Guess maybe he didn’t get out, or he would have walk ed into some place by now. “Coming across I saw Frank Wood ruff in Natal. He was making one of those long boat hauls. "I had a letter from my aunt last week and she tells me that you have moved Into a new home in Birming ham. 1 guess you are still too busy to have much time to stay in it. “Well. Prank, sure did enjoy work ing for you and Ike for the last ten years. Did get a lot of experience and it sure is coming in handy over here. If you get time sure would enjoy hearing from you. What is Camden doing and have you gotten any new alrporta lately? “I am working in operations here between flights and it does take up a little of my time, but we do have a lot of that. This ’Hump’ flying does get pretty had at times and especially now with this Monsoon weather and you do get plenty of instrument time. "Guess I better close now. Wish you would give the rest of the family my regards and say hello to all the fellows. Will try to write more often and if you have time wish you would do the same. , “As ever, Snookie.” TMl CAMDKW CHHOIIICLl,^AIIDgl^_jOtgM_S^ Mrs. J. BUkadejr Z«mp Director oi Ififfa School Educatioaal Unit Announcemeot is made in this issue of The Chronicle of the opening of the Calvert School of Camden under the personal direction of Mrs. J. Blakeney Zemp. The school Is located at the Court Inn building. During the week be fore last decorators bad been active In - the rooms to be used for school purposes and everything was most attractive when the school was open^ ed Monday. Mrs. Zemp is an experienced In structor, haiirtng had much success in the prteatO' school program in past years: ^e is being assisted at this time by Mrs. Joo B. McKain, also experienced in the art of teaching. The Calvert school is thus desig nated by reason of the use of the Calvert school system, one of the best in the educational field otda;r. This systeni originated at Baltimore. The school is accepting pupils of all ages, but the majority are of the primary and grammar school years. There is no kindergarten program as this age group is well provided for at the Magnolia school, conducted by Miss Sarah Wolfe. Mrs. Zemp will, 1^ there is sufficient demand, add a high school unit to her school. Plans Drawn and Site To Be Selected Immediately (Contiiiued from first page) cent driveway just east of the latter building. ^ ^ At the present time the producers who exhibit and sell at the market work on a percentage system, the small percentage extracted from their sales going toward the running xe- .penses and maintenance of the mark et Miss Fewell will have the new project operated on a stall rental basis. The new building will cost about $10,000 to construct, this price to in clude the counters or stalls. The government pays 02 per cent of this cost Miss Fewell went on to explain that the farm womens group is anxious to have incorporated in the present plans, a cold, storage room for eggs. This undoubtedly will be done. As to when the new market build ing will be erected and when it will be opeped for service Miss Fewell was not able to Itate. However, In as much as the present plans, drawn some six years ago and approved by the state and federal governments, have not been altered, she expects a mlntmum of red tape and hopes that the new market will be in operation early next summer, if not in the spring. Mayor Gets Mad-- /(Continued from first psc*) ‘ caling at his office were told in no gentle terms that any more com plaints or traffic infractions would find some of them without a business. "I’m fed up on this constantly re occuring bickering and of having to listen to complaints of cursing and swearing in that taxi parking area,” he said. “If 1 hear any more or if I hear of any more traffic violations, the oRenders are going to be out of business.” The taxi ruction was featured by the near wrecking of a post with a telephone stand when Burnie Hinsoqfs foot slipped on a brake pedal, the cutting away of a curbing to permit of a driveway into the parking ares, insuliation of a new jmle (or phohe service and removal of others. Wlmn the city announced that taxis msuTd be permitted to park in front jof the Hinson area, the latter waxed wrathy and threatened to secure an injunc tion.

TORTE Here’s Work For the Future want every South Carolinian to know our future plans. For South Carolina and the Telephone (Company have been working closely together for inany years. “^VTiat’a coming up?” Quite a lot —the greatest expanskm program in the history of the telephone in South (Carolina as soon aa materials are avaiUble. It means spending millions of dollars to provide telephones for all who have been waiting for them. Thia is one of our first jobs I A greatly expanded telephone program for our fanner friends is also in process. Expansion of long distance service is being scheduled too. It will include the installation of coaxial cables to handle more calls with speed and con venience for you, and provide more facilities for that excit ing visual art — television. A mass of construction is to be done and a new service to motor vehicles is also in the olBng. What does it all add up to? For one thing, it means more opportunity for the returning veteran, for all South Caro linians. It insures an adequate telephone system for South Carolina and ^t is essential to t^ state’s growth. Each gives impetus to the other, as our friendly relationship has in the past. More work for the futoreu That’s what.it means, when yon analyse it, and South Carolinians have a kTiax*k for getting ^ the heart of things. They like to see the marshalling of Me^ Money and Materials; that American combination ^fhkh put South Carolina out in front, and keeps it there. Ys^ there’s prosper!^ in work.

Texas, given less than a year to live because of A malignant infection which had seised him, is going to the famous Mayo clinic at Rochester, Minn., where every effort will be made to save him. And the Texas boy will make the jaunt via airplane. In that connection. It is interesting to know that Mack A. Stogner, son of Charles O. Stogner, West Hampton street, who is presi dent of the Pepsl-Cola Bottling com pany of Fort Worth, offered to fly the stricken child to Rochester in bis owv private plane. While the parents of the boy have not accepted the former Camden man’s offer, they are giving serious consideration to it. Billy’s dad is employed in the pro- duction-control department at Convair and the employeee of that plant made up a purse of $1000 and gave to him to meet medical bills. The company gave Ihe father a two week’s vaca tion on lay and also a check (or $50. Camden To Have Enlistment Dffice (Continued from first page) is doing a thing either way. 'The Camden high school team, after win ning a championship last year Is meet ing with reverses this year and as a result a lot of cheap sporta are belly aching. Outside of the shows at the theaters, Camden night life is just the same as It has always been, awful ly unexciting.
