“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.”

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

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.

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. And prosperity means

Five year old Billy (Jeorge Miller of
Fort Worth. 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 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. There seems to be just
as many liquor stores and all doing
a big business with prlcea higher than
any place I ever stopped in.
‘”1110 one thing Is just the same Is
the nice ferns. I’ve been looking at
the girls going by and they sure are
pretty. They blush beautifully.

call him by name. So when he pulled
himself erect and headed foi; one of
the transit buses at the corner, I told
him to drop in an see me' someday.
I hope he does—for I want to know
his name.
Major Karl E. Nuessner, South
Carolina District Recruiting Public
Relations officer at 1703 Main street,

Uon.”
