Organization Much Enkhiiaiaam Festuroa Or- f uinatioii Mwotiiif In Gram mar Sdbool Auilitorhim Camden stepped into the ranks of progressive cities having parena- teacher organisations on Friday, Maro^ 1st, whsa a meeting of organ- isatioa was b^d tn tha audltcrlnm of the Camden grammar school. The meeting largely attended and featured by much enthusiasm was presided over by Henry Savage, Jr.. Mr. Savage introduced Mrs. Holmes Scott, fifOk district president, who outlined the program of the Parent- teacher orfaniatkm. When the election of officers was held. Mini John K. deLoach wm nam ed president, Mraj Edmund T. Quy, Tice president, Mrs. Hubert O. Wil son secretary and Oeo. Ryan, teas- urer.

Kennei^s Bills Favor Teachers Of Entire Stole Representative |L IL Kennedy, Jr^ of Kerehaw eonaky bm 'ftb^rdu^ thrae Mis into thy^'^konse he| whleh wtl improve the status of teachsre of the state under the ru- tirement act ' One bill win increase the member^ ship of the Retiremdnt Board by the appointment of two additional mem- b^ who must be teachers actively, empoyed in the public schools of the state.'At present, the teachers have no representation on the board and Mr. Kennedy believes that they should have a voice In the operation of the system. 'Another bill removes the present distinction between “teachers” as de fined in the retirement act and “ejh- plOyeee” as there defined. At present Mr. Kennedy feels that there is dis- ciiminatlon against the teachers un der the provisions of the Act and his bill will remove it. Yet another bill provides for the inclusion of all teachers In retirement benefits regardless of whether their compensation is paid by the state or by the school districts or counties. Under a mling of the Board the “supply” or “excess” teachers are denied membMuhip in the system. The bills were all referred to the education committee of the House and Mr. Kennedy bellevec that they will rabelve favorable action In both committee and the House. .Services to nccupalion forces, ser vices o <he thousands of hospltsiixed sed'diers and sailors, and services to veterans — "the three continuing battle fronts” of the American Red Cross — were not diminished but highlighted and intensified by VB Dey and VJ Day, symbols of war’s end for the ’nation.

At the close of hostilities' it had nearly 9,500 work ers overseas engugsd in welfare, hoc- pital, club, and canteen work, be sides more than 9,000 in the United States.

Redfeam of thia aaember of the Senate com- sKMlnted to tain aa definitely pa poaalble canse of the heavy increase in tatgl accidents on the highways of South Carolina. The other members of the committee are Senators Mays of Greenwood and Frank Thompson of Conway. The committee is of the opinion that uncontrollable speed is the main cause of fatal accidents. While more accidents are recorded in the cities and towns, the majority of fatal ac cidents are on the open roads of the countryside. Tkis tact is believsd to pi^ove that'speeding plays the most Important part In the tragedy list ings. In discussing toe Investigation the committee of the Senate is maklhg Senator Redfeam said that the aa- toundiag increase to the number of accMonts should be a warning to all motorists to exercise more care in the operation of their cars. Entirely too many innocent people are being maimed or killed because of the care lessness and reoklesa diivtog of mo torists who seemingly have little re gard for their own lives, much Mss the lives of others. According to accident records, over nihety-five per cent of all traffic accidents are the result of just two things, carsless and reckless driving”, said Senator Redfeam. A ooateuiplated Increase to the number of hlidiway patrolmen and empbasla placed on law eofmvement on the highways should go a long way In cutting down on the accident toll. Senator Redfeam Issued an appeal to all Camden and Kershaw county motorista to exercise more care and better Judgment to the operation of their Traffic officers from city, county and State headquarters will Im called on duty Sunday to handle t&e record (^wd that ia anticipated at Kirk wood Field to watch the polo match between Camden and Savannah, Ga. ^ Pre-war records of cloee to 5,000 aj^tatora may be shattered the com ing 'week-end as Savannah is recog nised as being a powerful drawing card. In the two Sunday games pre viously here, Camden battling Augus ta and Camden playing Mulberry, crowds estimated at 3,000 and 3,600> were in evidence. The Camden p<do elnb has an nounced toe Camden lineup for the Savannah battle will be John Hill or Mahlon MacDermott at No. 1, John Daniels at No. 1. Oarl Light- foot at No. 8 and David Wllllama at No. .4. Savannah will .have Oarroll Cealy at No. 1. Harry Cram at No. 2, Joe (Bubba) Coleman at No. 3 and ,W. R. Harper at No. 4. Ctrionel Tonnger A. Pitta of Pinehunt, who did such an outstanding Job as ref eree in the Camden-Mulberry game last Sunday will be the ninth man on toe field next Sunday. On Snnday, March 17, there will be a stellar event with Camden meeting an All-etar taam bC high goal play* era. Camden will use Hill, Daniels. Llghtfoot and WllUams, while the All-star Itoenp will fsatare Bobby Clark of deBi^, Florida, who Is corn- tog to Camden with 8 fine ponies next week.
