u X— PAQC EIGHT THE CAMDEN CHNONiCLE, CAMPIN, DOiTTH CANOLINA, .WIIDAY, MANCM 21, 1E4< War With Russia Not likely Soon, Says Babson ? Waahini^n, D. C., March 22-^Let. ua start with three statements #ith rhich most intelligent peo^e a«ee: 1. Notwithstanding Churchiira blast no group NOW want? war with sia. Si ■ ■ ■ - • Russia, surely the vote of the Uhited Stales would be 100 per cent against it NOW,-although we are better pre- ' pared for it NOW than we may ever again. 2. Most of all Russia does not want another war NOW. She knows that » we saved her in World War II; and sh# knows she would lose all her gains with a World War III NOW, 3. Our State Department is so di vided into Catholics, Protestants, New Dealers and Capitalists that it can- * not agree upon any foreign policy NOW—to say ndthing of agreeing to fight RulBia NOW. Hence, |here is no possibility of a war with Russia for an indefinite, period. IS WAR III PROBABLE? It is Afe to add a fourth forecast, viz:—If. our present dilly-dally, con tradictory, inconsistent and silly for eign policy continues long enough, we may have a war With Russia some day. Then, the U, S. and Britain will not be- so well prepared as we are today; while Russi* .cpuld then be very much stronger lin'd in addition will have all attfmic bomb secrets.,On ly a spiritual awakening of our State Department, or a split up of Russia into two or more nations, can pm- vent such a conflict. _ / Conditions today are almost iden tical with those foUowing World War I. Instead of a German HiUer, ^ere can soon develop a Russian Hitler. Great Britain again has a Labor Gov- emment; France again is playing pol itics and talking pacificism; while U. S. mothers merely “wanna get their dear boys home.” World War II would have been unnecessary had it been “nipped in the bud.” World War III can be prevented by the U. S. and Great BriUin UOW joining on a fair, but firm, foreign policy, booked op by force. WHAT THIS MEANS TO BUSINESS AND INVESTORS Hence, businessmen and investors have nothing NOW to fear from Rus- Scouts Happy Due Recognition C^ven “Old Glory 99 Mayor Ordara New Flag And InsUU On Regulationa ■ Beiag-t Followed They finally removed the tittered specimen of Old Glory from the bam boo pole atop the city ball, after it ffeted had buffeted the elements day and night for many many months. And as a result -members of the Camden Boy Scouts are happy, for it was a difficult matter for them to become overly enthusiastic over their community's patriotism when the flag over the city hall was allowed to re main in the air day and night. Not but what it was all right in the day time but the Scouts knew that }t was a gross breach of flag' etiquette to allow the starry banner to remain at Collins Funeral Home to'ReflMve to New. Hiatoric Lang l>%ynHing Modarnisad And ▼abad For Purpoaa Baing to^aat all sia. For the past year, I have been b forecasting a break in the stock mar ket “due to a Russian scare.” This recently occurred whert stocks lost billions of dollars in a few days. Now this is probably over and we should go haerrily along for awhile with bet ter business and higher stock prices. This present Russian scare should make Congress more willing to appro priate funds for national defense, cause it to help the British Empire and to encourage that Empire to do more for her Colonies. The best way to combat Communism is for'Ckpi- talism to insure a higher-standard- of-living and greater security than does Communism. The new Atomic Energy may succeed in doinjr~this. I feel as President Truman and Mr. Churchill agreed at Fulton, Mis- sovri, on March sixth: “These are perilous times. The world either is 0 one aeems to know whose job it wiaa to see that flag regulations were observed, but after a chat with the mayor this week, it is dukd cer tain that a new flag whicb has been ordered wlll^ fly^ from |^new steel mast—also just ordered ^ and that Old Glory will be taken in at. sun down and flung to-the breeze at day break. Mayor McCorkle will earn the plau- Pi dits of the community for his deter mination to see that due respect is shown the national flag. headed for destruction or Tor the greatest age of progress in mistory.” If we are to have the latter, this'is a time to hold good stocks; while if we are to witness destruction, then it will make no difference whether we have cash, stocks or government bonds! ' Our people, unfortunately, are di vided into either Isolationists or Non- Isolationists. One group' thinks we should be content to put our own house in order before mixing up with the rest of the world. 'The other group goes to an opposite extipeme and thinks that—througn the United Nations Organization—we can NOW run the world and give every nation the Four Freedoms. Both of the above groups are wrong. Either group could get Us into trou ble. President Truman should clean out our present State Department and substitute therefore a united Depart ment with a middle-ground but firm, policy. This policy should be “Limit ed Inter-nationalism.” It should be The A.I R. Collins funeral hmne, which for years has occupied a build ing on Campb^ strsst just north of DeKalb will soon be looted in fine new and commodious quarter# bn De- Kalb street. The old historic Lang residence, built in 1814 bv William W. Lang and purchased by Evans Co^ins^in 1897 is being renovated and remod eled into a modem funeral Ixmie by A. R. Collins. ' ' This-historic buildii^ is one of the oldest in Camden. It is on a lot that was conveyed ta the town of Camden by John Kershaw in 1799 as a burial ground for ,“Negroes, Indians mulattoes and mestizoes.” but accord ing to historic Camden, was never used for that purpose. William Lang, II, purchased the property in 1814 and built the present structure on it. The location is the most elevated point in Camden. * Since 1898 the building hdi been used as a dwelling by Elizabeth Collins, mother of A. R. 'Collins. Her husband Evans Col lins, died in' 1920. In remodeling the building, A. R. Collins is using the first floor o'r basement section as the location of an attractive chapel, a morgue and a slumber room. Oa the second floor will be rest i^ms and salesrooms. Thomas Rabon and son Marvin, the latter juid back from 29 months in the service, 21 6f which were spent in the Sooth Pacific battle area have opened a grocery store at 13 and 15 West Rutledge street under the firm name ef Rabon and Son. The firm will specialize in the sale of seeds and feea and general gro ceries. The building they occupy has been repaired land put in go^ condition for store purposes. ** Thomas Rabon has been engaged in the feed and seemj^osiness here for the past year and previously he was engaged in farming in Lugroff. IN MEMORIAL In memory of my dear husband, who died March 26, 19405. Dear Ernest, the heavenly Father took you away. We’re not put In this world very long to stay.

It should have one aim; namely, to interfere only in those spots which are liable to get us into war if left to smolder. BELIEVE IN U. N. 0. . I believe in the United Nations Organization and hope it will suc ceed, but democracy is too young a child to NOW depend upon it, ex clusively. But important Foreign Notes should be issued only when approved by Congress—in ajdvancshz: coupled with a willingness to declare war if said Notes are ignorM. Other wise, we should mind bur own bys- im But you're making it. brighter up there in the sky. I miss you, dear Ernest, your kind ness and love; But Jesus knew best: He took you above. Your suffering down here and troubles are over; But God alone knew whA was best. And took you home to sweetly rest. Days of sadness come over me. Secret tears do often flow; But memories keep you near me. But I’ll meet you up yonder on that beautiful ^ore. , You left brothers and me and sisters and mother. But it ,won’t ^be long till we’ll all be together. So, dear Eh-nest, I want you to know that we’ll carry on Till we all meet together round-that great white throne.

RESTING ON OUR OARS It is related that Napoleon, having read a glowing account from one of his generals telling of a great victory, wrote across the face of the report this question: “What did you do the next day?”—which is another way of sa}ring that the grist from today’s mill agll not suffice for tomorrow’s’ needs. The Seaboard Air Line Railway, along with other American railroads, has been credited with magnificent performance in the recent World War. But that record is now histofy. This is the “next day” and we are confronted with new opportunities and new responsibilities. In order to provide our patrons with the finest in transportation, the Seaboard Air Line Railway is intensifying its moderniza tion program, and very soon you will see gliding over Seaboard rails new streamlined trains with uhra^modem coaches and bigger and better motive power. These and other refinements combine to make Seaboard travel the safest, mast comfortable and most luxurious ever enjoyed. Equally great improvements are in pros pect for oiu* freight service. Modem equii>- ment, including more powerful and more efficient locomotives, will'carry more freight on faster schedules, for the better service of the public. Rome was not built in a day, an4 it takes time to build giant locomotives, cars and other things required in our improve ment program. The l^aboard Air Line Rail way, however, is kfiown for its pioneering in such matters as air-conditioning, stream lined trains, diesel-electric motive power, etc., and you can count on us to* continue “out in front” in the interests of our patrons and friendk Watch for future advertisements in this series in which we will discuss other sub jects of mutual interest to your businsM and ours.
