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-

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.
In the years 3941 to 1145 Ameri
can Red Crou Services o the Arm
ed Forces became the most extensive
operation of its kind in the history
of the organisation. 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. The Red Cross bras operat
ing 820 clubs and rest bomeis. wtUi
no Immediate letup in the need for
them in sight. ^
After cessation of hostilities in
Europe the need for Red Cross con
tinuance there became* abundantly
clear. And in the Pacific the recre
ation problem for American forces Is
even greater than ^ Chat in Europe.
Pew Islands offer anything In the
way of amusement. American style.
Serve In Hoepital
At home, recreation and welfare
services are being continued for able-
bodied men in camps and naval bases
and tor the-thousands of hospitalised,

in readjustment problems.
Red Cross work with veterans is
expected to show a sharp rise dur

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
