Human reconversion is pfobably the most important
problem of the poitwar eca. ^ *
Men trained in the mdni^^lla of warfare must be re
oriented to civilian life. they must be shown that
they are welcome back home and that their sacrifices have
been appreciated.
For tfiiat reason, the prdgfj^ of the Kershaw County
Red Cross chapter is more impomnt than ever in the months
ahead. Throui^ the Red Cross,^turning veterans can find
vthe help and guidance so eageaHal to their proper adjust
ment i . '
Already, the local Red CraM “postwar** plans are in op-
evation. ^s^ting men returning to Camden are using Red
Gross assistonce in filing claims dor government benefits, in
obtaining financial aid during the adjudication period, and
in getting friendly advice and cefinsel on personal problems.
Because a war doe8n*t end Irith the last shot nred, and
because a community*s wiar responsibility i8n*t finished un
til its sons have been welcomed back into its civic, social aiM
economic life, people of Kershaw .county must continue to
support their Red Cross through contributions of money and
seridce. >

"American men have been fighting
throughout the world for a long time,’’
he said. "This year they will need
all of the moral support wcr^can give
them. 'The American Red Cross is
bringing home to those men wher
ever they may be stationed.
‘"The task in the next twelve
months will be greater for the Red
Cross than aver before, for not only
must we serve the men in the over
seas sonee, but we will be required to
give Incressing assistance to the boys
coming back to ths United States.
"We know the American people will
respond with overwhelming generos
ity,' knowing that the moneF they

mar School Auditorium
Preliminary plans tor the organics-^
tion of a Parent-Teacher association
in conjunction with the Camden city
schools were announced Tuesday fol
lowing a meeting of a joint Kiwanls
and Rotary.Club committee and the
school anthorities held last Monday.
’The plans calls for an organisation
meeting to be held in the grammar
school auditorium on Friday, March
at 8:00 P. M. It la expected that
w representative of the State Teach
ers association will be present to out
line the organisation and work of a
Parent-Teacher association. It Is also
expected that a prominent educator
will be on hand to speak on the sub
ject.
Several months ago joint action
was taken by the Camden Kiwanls
club and the GAmden Rotary club,
resulting in the appointment of a
committee composed of Henry Sav-
age, Jr., chairman; and J. C. Ewing,
W. C. McCarley, and U. N. Myers.
This committee together with J. G.
Richards, superlntendeht ot the city
schools, are laying out the plans to
get this very worthwhile organisation
under qray hi this city. The commlt-
and the school authorities as well
ss many others have long felt that
there is a very definite, and impor
tant function to be filled by such an
organisation.
It is pointed out that many prob
lems incidental to the public school ,
uystem can be handled only by snch
an organisat^. Specific reference is
made to the' need for more intimate
contact betwem the home and the
school system; the stimulation and
supervision of extra curricular Activ
ities to the end that the pupils spare
time may be oonstnictively utilised;
the realisation of many needs of the
school which money alone can not
provide; a llason between the school
system and the voters and parents so
that a better appreclatkm may be
had of the problems faced by the
school and to aid in the realisation
of the needs of the s<Aool.
It is thought by the committee and
the school authorities that many mls-

thing aa the X-ray, except that no
