All articles submitted for publication must be signed by the author FRIDAY, NOVEMBERS, 1946 FIREWORKS AND HOOTCH The Chronicle has been criticized because it per* mitted advertising of fireworks in its issues of recent date in the face of a city ordinance whidh prohibits the Mle, either wholesale or retail and even the use of ex plosives within the Camden city limits. The Chronicle is charged with being inconsistent because we have refused Hqtfor advertising and yet we advertise merchandize that is banned by city laws. The Chronicle has 2,100 paid subscribers and of this number 1,400 reside outside of the city of Cam den, the majori^ in the county confines. There is no restriction toward the sale of fire works in the county area outside of the Camden limits. The Chronicle wishes there was—infact—we would ban fireworks and fire crackers from the state and nation, if for no other reason that they create hazards to life and limb. We admit we have a certain well-rooted respect for the sancity of Christmas and we do not know of any instance oh record where the nativity of Jesus Christ was heralded with the xpar of fire crackers or aissle and swish of firo works. But to get back to the advertising of fire works— the adver^ments were national in character and un der the circumstances we felt free to accept them. The Chronicle stands ready at all times to cam paign for a closed season 366 days of the year against explosives.
