He had been through the hell of the Italian campaign.
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.

liOuis Newkirk At
Head of Large
New York Concern
From New York comes an an
nouncement of^ the formation of New
kirk and* Company, Inc.. 60 Wall
Tower building.
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. They may
purchase and retain the controlling
proportion of the securities of such
companies and may be instrumental
in the management of such corpora
tions.
Already the corporation, through its
advertising agency, Albert Frank
Guenther, Inc^ has been active and
will release certain information rela
tive to advertising for which the
company has already made the
usual financial appropriations.
Red Go8s Notes
Sadie K. von Treeckow
ThU is the month for Junior Red
Cross workers to get bnsy. Ehiroll-
ment of every school chUd in the
county is the goal. It means much to
be a member of the greateet youth
organization In he world.
Christmas is Jost around the cornMr
and the Juniors do not want a single
man in Uncle Sam’s uniform to go
unremembered. PrecMits must be
made. The American Red Cross is
sending a million dollars worth of
supplies overseas to brighten the holi
days for men in hospitals and forward
areas. ’’Christmas boxes will be drop
ped by parachute or drawn by d<^f-
sled if necessary,” says the bulletin.
The Red Cross will have a finger in
the pie, too. when Christmas dinners
are served in military and naval hoa-
pitals. Many dietitians* aides started
baking fruit cakes last fall.
A meeting of the central South
Carolina camp and hospital council
.took place at Fort Jackson Wednes
day to plan for Christmas Mitertain-
ment for hospitalised veterans in our
camps and air bases. Col. and Mrs.
von Tresekow, M. H. Heyman, Miss
Fannie Fletcher attended the meeting
and enjoyed the lunch at the officer’s
club, furnished by the canteen corps
of the Richl%nd county chapter.
