The pal he had grown' up with and gone to school with was killed at his elbow. He felt he had been spared and it had changed his entire philosophy. The destruction, he said, was unbelievable, military barrages and deliberate spitework of the retreating Germans having reduced cities that had stretched as far as the eye could see to heaps of rubble. -^Vater plants had invariably been wrecked. Lines of communica tion were completely shattered, railroad rails having been dynamited individually for miles on end. Roads had been erupted and bridges blasted with explosive charges. “But the thing that got me the worst was the hunger. They say they are getting two-thirds of what they nee^. That isn’t true. They are getting nothing.- They have nothing to eat and no place to live. I’ve seen little children wrapped in old rags lying on the street in every sort of halfway shelter for the night. I have seen them standing on the street plead ing for something to eat, too weak to brush away the flies eating at their eyes.” No doubt the additional half billion that the UNRRA is reportedly about to receive could be well spent. It is to be hoped that it will go through and that it will speed to the places where it is most sorely needed. We’ll never miss that kind of money.—^The State. Six of the* nation’s leading economists recently agreed that the United States has all the ingredients for a sustained period of prosperity lasting for several years. -This IS encouraging. All that is necessary now is for the political and economic leaders of the nation to handle the “ingredients” in such a fashion that prosperity will percolate to the rank and file of the American people. When the effort is made to impleihent action designed to secure the best results, there is considerable disagreement. While evei^body agrees that the nation has the possibility of prosperity for a while, there is considerable divergence as to how “the ingredients”, should be handled.—^Times and Democrat, Orangeburg. ^ The BishopviHe Rotary club, sponsoring organization for the Boy Scout program in that city, is making possible the erection of a club house that is to be used for Scouting activi ties, including Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts. The building, which will be 100 by 226 feet in size, is to be of frame construction and will be located in a pine grove that has been donated to the Scouts by Frank K. DesOhainps, a Rotarian and also treasurer of Lee county. Spurred by the interest of the sponsoring body, Scouting in Bishopville, is on a high plane. Japan Is not ready for democracy until its orator, in re ferring to “this great country,” can put a throb into “great” that makes it a word of three syllables.

Local interest attaches to this item by reason of the fact that Louis H. Newkirk, who is one of the organizers of the company, was at-one time ac tive in the industrial affairs of Cam den. Newkirk launched Newkirk In dustries here and carried on a gigan tic coffee roasting business, featuring coffee for the armed forces and also quite a number of private brands, all of which were named after historic spots or events in Camden history. The venture offered splendid pub licity to this winter resort. — The new company, which has on Its board such outstanding business men of the metropolitan area as John F. Russell^ Jr., Paul T. laccaci, B. E. Haas, Max Nydegger and L. H. New- kirk will act as primary underwriters and agents of close corporations to appreciative Investors, either directly or through select dealers.
