Pickett Extends Thanks Through the courtesy of the editor of the Camden Chronicle I take great pleasure in thanking all who contrib uted to the success of the Christmas seal drive of J945 which demonstrat ed what can be accomplished when one, or a group, has a mind to suc ceed. I also beg to say that a drive Is only one play In the great task that lieg ahead. We are living In an age where we dare not attempt to stand alone. We have tried to do our best in the war which we hope is over, and we are Just as determined to help hold the line in the present crisis of reconver- . alon. We have made a good.play but T there is still more beyond, and we 'ftjand ready to do,our bit as we are mindful of the fact that one of the greatest assets In the crisis we now face Is the health of the nation. Very respectfully, Dr. J. P. Pickett. i*NI yoTmnuniS^ TNI riNIST 8ILVIRSIATI a IS BACK FOR KEEPS This is good news for those who have been waiting so long to buy their set of Community.

ArmyEnfistment Catatpaign Is A Record Breaker r Breaking all records lor voluntary enlistment, the Army’s current world wide recruiting campaign baa passed the half million mark, it was an nounced recently by Major General H. N. Gilbert, USA, Director of Military Personnel Procurement Ser vice, an activity of the Adjutant Gen eral’s Office which is charged with the recruiting campaign. “Never /before has there been an active army of volunteers as large as our present 'R e g u 1 a r Army strength,” General Gilbert stated. “Recruiting over one half million men in four months is an achievement un equalled in the history of the* Coun try. “The nation can well be proud of the young men who are enlisting in the Army today for it indicates a kafiA' appreciation by the young men of qur country in the opportunities offe^ ny our new Regular Army. In our new Army, high type, intelli gent young men have an opportunity to use their knowledge, ability, am bition and achievement in technolog ical advancements to become trained technicians. The Signal Corps of the Army recently contacted the moon by radar, and the Surgeon General'a, Office of the Army recently dissected the brain of Dr. Ley, ooted Nazi. In peacetime the Army is to ^the fore front in discoveries that effect the technological advancements of the nation as a whole.” “However”, General Gilbert added, “we have a long way to go to reach our goal. We must maintain this en listment rate In order to replace the men of long and arduous war ser vice who are being returned home as rapidly as possible. At the same time, we must maintain our military strength to meet our requirements to support our position in world affairs, for occupational and clean-up forces, our own oversecu garrisons, our Air Force, and for our military establish ment at home. About seventy percent of the men, who have enlisted are those originally entered in the Army through Selective Service. The re mainder Is divided between men who nerer wore the uniform before and fonner Regular Army men who re-en- list. Thus our Regular Army will have the benefit of good age balance, combining experience with vigor and enthusiasm of youth.” About fifty-five percent of the men now Volunteering have enlia^ for a period of three years. Thisyis re garded, as significant becauae^vit In dicates thft the great majority of men now volunteering for the Regular Army plan to make it a career, or at least to stay in over a fairly long period. The U. S. Army Recruiting office in Camden la found in Post Office buement and la open Monday and Wednesday from 1 to 4 p. m. J. P.

An Augusta battle line led by Jim Minnick fought hard but that after noon they were completely outclasa. ed. Joe Batee, who was in an Augusta uniform, got a big hand from the crowd. Joe was always a big favorite in years back before the war when he played with the Camden squad. Scoring for Camden was Williams with 8 goalSv Daniels with 3, Light- foot with 2, and McDermott with 1. One of the outstanding features of the afternoon entertainment was the fine play by play account of the gaipo over the public address system by Thomas Daniels of St. Paul, Minn., a Camden winter resident, father of player Jack Daniels and himself an enthusiastic player. It was by far the most interesting and accurate play by play report ,-jire have ever beard at Kirkwood l^ld and we reilhember Chris Wood.' Chris, a good speaker and a fellow who knew how to stir up his listeners, was always good but we still maintain that Mr. Daniels was better.
