REMOVE CORNER OBSTRUCTIONS
' Camden could do well to emulate the city officials at
Lancaster, who have ordered property owners to cut shrub
bery back a distahce of 200 feet at all street intersections.
This does not necessarily mean that hedges, bushes, etc., must
be eliminated entirely. It means they must be cut down so as
not to be more than 18 inches in height. , Jt can readily be
seen that the measure is not only for the purpose of public
safety but also to insure, the cutting of weeds and growth that
tends to detract from the beauty of the community. It serves
to prevent automobile wrecks as it eliminates blind comers.
LETS HAVE ENFORCEMENT
The news item in last week’s Chronicle relating to the
use of Broad, Lyttleton, Fair and Mill streets as auto race
tracks appears to have hit a popular chord of approval, judg
ing by the many complimentary remarks made to staff mem
bers. A prominent resident of the city informs us that he
cannot speak for the residents of Broad, Fair and Mill streets,
but as a property owner on Lyttleton street, he cannot say
enough in protest of the laxity of traffic regulation. “There
is no effort made to keep within the speed limits,’’ he stated.
“Some day there will be a fatality and perhaps then the police
will clamp down on these speed demons.’’
“FROZEN” ASSETS
“Frozen” assets used to mean property that couldn’t be
converted into cash. Sometimes it was a polite excuse for
not paying bills.
But times have changed. The remarkable advance'of
the last few years in developing new pulpwood products is
giving a brand new meaning to the term. Frozen assets may
everywhere soon be expected to mean the meats, vegetables,
fruits and dairy products that the American public will be
storing up in their own homes against a rainy day.
It has long been known that deep frozen food could be
preserved against quick decay. Yet it took wartime research
to find a form of packaging that could preserve these foods
against each other and against deterioration.
Pulp and paper chemists did it, developing a special
type of paper that is waterproof, taintproof and impervious
to changes in temperature. By first packing foods in this
paper, deep freezing became a practical method for keeping
them indefinitely, without losing any of their original taste
or goodness.
Experts today are predicting that the time is near when
deep freezing units will be as much a part of the average
home as an ordinary cooking stove.
Deep freezing is just one of the many miracles resulting
from expanded wartime uses of pulpwood. It is one of many
hundreds of reasons why the pulpwood industry is annually
becoming a more important asset to this community.
Already we are beginning to feel the effects of the
stepped-up postwar demand for pulpwood products in the
intensive recruitment campaign for woods and mill workers
now being conducted by the pulp and paper industry and the
U. S. Employment Service. And no matter how it’s looked
at, the top quality pulpwood you cut today becomes “un
frozen” assets in your pocket or bank account tomorrow.

Miss Florence Padgett, general
field representative American Red
Cross, met with the executive com
mittee Friday, Oct. 19, at 10 o’clock
at headquarters, to discuss the annual
budget of the chapter in reference to
the campaign for funds in March to
ci^rry on the work of the organization,
national and county. She also con
ferred with the chairman of the cam
paign, Commander Shannon Heath,
who has formulated a fine committee
for the program. She has been busy
in disaster areas and stresses the fact
that the reconversion period will be
one of the greatest times of service
for the Red Cross and that the peace
program is a call to duty to volun
teers. In many ways the real war
service of the Red Cross has just be-
gun. Home service will hold the lime
light for probably a year,< whereas
home nursing, nurse’s aides, water
safety and nutrition will be close
seconds.
Army,'Navy and all hospital nurses
have given such overstrained service
during these terrible war years that
they must have a rest. Yet our vet
erans and civilian hospitals, clinics
an4,^h6alth agencies must be • served
and serviced and only the nurstfs
aides can fill this need. There is no
nobler service. College girls and
young marrl^ women will find this
corps most 'interesting. Enter your
name at headquarters.
Mias Jennie McMaster, Kershaw
county T. B. nurse, was a welcome
visitor at headqu&rters lately.
Sgt. Norman H. Gaillard of Wll-
liamston, was selected as the official
Red Cross model for posters as “the
very embodiment of all the traits pos
sessed by our fighting men.’’ He Is
very modest and wants it understood
that “it was a military order.” The
artist, J. P. Whitman, was so pleased
with the choice of Gaillard that he
wishes to model him for all subse
quent posters of servicemen. Gaillard
was injured while at Camp Pickett
in 1944 and his company left for
Europe while be was in the hospital.
He is 29 years old and worked in a
textile factory in Greenwood.

It’s O.K. if the laundryman laughs ’till his sides split, but
why must he wear our ah.irt at the time?
“In the year 1944,” says a statistic, “105 million knives,
forks and spoons were manufactured in this country.” Why?
