THE THINGS THAT PASS —
, Clyde Edwin Tuck
Though all seems chaos now and^night precails
Upon earth’s wreck-strewn shores and blighted plains.
But alwys after winter’s cruel gales
Comes April with her iridescent rains.
Out of the search for truth hope rises strong.
Out of the longing and the lonelineM
That dawn will break in beauty and in song
Our wounded souls to solace and redress.
For_ hope abid^es with those who watch and wait.
With vi«oh,Th the ebb and flow of years,
In patience and in faith; at last the storms abate
That brought the heartache and the bitter tears.
These things shall pass, the wounding things of time.
And comfort to sustain is found in prayer.
Mankind is blest by lives pure and sublime.
The far reflection of the love we bear.
MONEY BADLY NEEDED
Camden and Kershaw county’s national war fund goal
is $8,200.00.
While admittedly that is considerable money, it is money
that is badly needed to complete the job.
While the war is over and there has been a general tend
ency on the part of the public to regard war funds as being
unnecessary, it is imperative that the present drive be a suc
cess.
The call for help is there. It may vary in some ways with
the appeal in previous drives of this character, but the need
is just as imperative.
The Chronicle believes that Camden and Kershaw coun
ty will meet the test, which means that the quota assigned will
be attained.
OUR GREATEST NEEDS
The Lee County Messenger, a smart weekly issued at
Bishopville, carried an editorial last week that teemed with
good ideas and sense. It concerned, what in the opinion of
the editor, constituted Bishopville’s greatest needs right now.
It was an editorial that could well be adapted to Camden
For the needs of Bishopville are the needs of Camden and
perhaps many other municipalities in this and other states.
Adequate civilian housing, adequate business housing and
last but quite the most important, more -people wdth vision,
ambition and the will to go out on the limb to develop and
encourage the growth and welfare of Camden and Kershaw
county.
As the editor of the Lee County paper states “There is
no denying that these are great needs. There might be some
others that might be as great.’’
The housing situation in Camden is acute—^it is serious.
From all we can learn fronfreal estate dealers and property
owners and especially the many people who are seeking
homes here, there is not one vacant house or apartment in the
entire city i;ight now. People have stored their furniture and
are living as best they can in rooms in private homes.
This situation is going to become more serious as more
and more service men return here and as more and more de
fense workers, who have their roots in Camden and who have
been away for the years of the war, return home.
Regarding the desire to add indust^ to the community,
the Bishopville editor again hits the nail plumb on the head
when he says:
“We feel that there is capital in Bishopville sufficient
to establish home-owned industries. Why wait for some out
side company or individual to decide that Bishopville is a
good place to establish an industry. The business men of
Bishopville—^those with money, we mean—should- have
. enough faith in Bishopville and Lee County to go ahead and
establish some needed industry here. If this is not done we
are afraid that the people who have moved away from here
because of the war, will not find it healthy and convenient
to return to Lee County. Lee County cannot afford to lose
one single citizen. There is no lack of capital in Lee County.
The lack is that it is and has not been utilized to its fullest
advantage.’’
The difficulty of securing the truth, even where news
midi
is free, is apparent in the midst of any election campaign if
the individual happens to read newspapers of different po
litical beliefs.

Smoking in bed may be pleasurable,
but it is also dangerous. Fire's, burns,
burning homes and burning buildings
take a terrific toll each year. So, just “in
case” be certain that you carry a Non-
Ctmcellable Accident Policy that will
protect your income in the event of bodily
injury. Here is a $5000.00 policy that cov-
ers almost every type of accident possible
and the cost is so low you will never miss
the small investment. Don’t wait until it
