Mr. Latimer outstanding ini South Carolina ^gion af fairs during the twenty-seven yeats the organizatioii has pre- vailed> was elected as one of the five vice-comm^dexi^af the American Legion It was a deserving honor. a fitting testimonial to a man who has been closely affin^ed with the Legion since its inception. Sam Latimer’s friends are many. It has been the priv- dege of this writer to have been listed among the favored for bver nine years. Our kinship has been more than just friendship—it has been that of brother newspapermen, the fraternity of the “Fourth Estate’’. Sam Latimer’s influence as an outstanding soldier, as a Legionnaire is equalled by the fine example, the untiring energy toward public good that he has welded with his versatile acumen as a moulder of public opinion. He has been a power in the forward prog ress of South Carolina. His ability as an organizer, his fine regard for the things worth while—all tended toward earn ing him the honor so richly deserved and conferred on him at the Chicago convention of the American Legion. South Car olina is proud of Sam Latimer. More Than Just a Trinmung A lady from out of the city, now spending the winter here, informs the Chronicle news editor that she plans to write a letter* to the paper in order that she may tell the people of Camden just how dirty she thinks the town is. She mentioned that she did not believe that the paper would publish her letter, but she proposed to write it anyhow. The Chronicle is not adverse to printing observations from and by its readers, with the definite understanding how ever, that the thoughts expressed are not the thoughts or beliefs of the paper management. The Chronicle is cognizant of the fact that labor is scarce, but we believe that if everybody pitches in and makes an effort to be tidy that the litter or trasih that clutters alleys, street curbing, e\j£n in the business district, empty liquor bottles in lots and alleys, can be eliminated to a great extent. There is no question but that the unkempt vacant lots, weeds along the curbing of many streets, piles of rubbish and debris seen on many sides, gives people a bad impression of “Camden.. It should be corrected. We read in Patrio Patter, a mimeographed state highway patrol publication, that South Carolina will have, when it is established soon, “the most modem and complete police radio system in the South.’’ There are to be nine stations: Spartan burg, Greenville, Anderson, Florence, Columbia, Sumter, Conway, Orangeburg and Charleston. And of these, three— Columbia, Charleston and Greenville—will operate 24 hours a day. This will add further to the efficiency of the patrol, whose record we take pleasure in complimenting. As a sample of what is done, we quote the September record: 274,034 miles driven, 1,724 arrests made, two hit-and-run cases and , the drivers caught in both of them, 2,009 written warnings issued, 544 motorists assisted, 16 stolen cars recovered, 4,877 driver license examinations given.—^The State.
