A WISH FOR NEW TEAR
We, the people of So^h Carolina, submerged in
politieal boggery do earnestly seek for the New Tear
a new leaf in govenimenti^ leaf throuidt which the
blot of previous years has not come through.
May oUr Governor stand forthright for the prin
ciples be has publicly stated. May he demand action
tlto AsMKmbly on issues that are essential to our wel
fare. May he make* no political trade, but demand
what is ri|^ and if his demands are not made may he
let us, the people, know why.
May our Legislature approach all issues with op-'
en min(k. May they forget political ambitions when
those ambitions must be submerged for our better
ment May they not fight over trivial things when
large things are at stake. May they not allow techni
cal procedures and political intrigues to interfere with
our advancement
May all of our state officers perform all their'du
ties as laid down by the Constitution. May they all
work to the end that perfection is sought
We pray that for the new year South Carolina
receiving all this may go forward to the right and just
place she deserves in this nation and whkh long, long
. ago she had. May we in Deeember 1947 be able to
say: ‘’’Well Done!”
HAVE BECOME OBNOXIOUS
Heavy drinking has become the nation^s out
standing indoor and outdoor sports event Tou can*t
go to a foptball game without being worried to death
by the pie-eyed drunks everywhere in evidence.
Drunks have made travel on the highways unsafe.
And they have made travel in any kind of a public
vehicle, bus, train, etc., disagreeable. Press stories last
week told of a Gaffney couple, who were returning
from Florida on a train when a sailor much the
worse for imbiding of rot gut began tossing luggage
from the speeding train. Two of six bags tossed into
the swampy wasteland of Florida belonged to the
Gaffney couple and contained hard-to-get clothing,
jeweliy, etc. The Aiken Standard and Review in com
menting on the above-mentioned affair remarks, **11ie
experience of the Gaffney couple was a rather un
usual one, but you never know what to expect when
there is a drunk around—anything can happen from
a killing to something not so serious.”
THE CAMDEN .PHIgHIlC)^ CAMOEI^ tNUTH CAWOLINA, ENIDAY, pkCEMEEW ZT, IfSS,
LOOKING AT 1947
There is a saying, or perhaps it is a song, which
goes something like this: ”We've come a long ways
together.”
That's the way we like to think, about this com
munity. Certainly the farmers, bankers, professional
men, merchants, and this newspaper—with its sub
scribers and ‘advertisers have come a long ways to
gether. And we're going on—^togetiier—-to a greater
year in 1947 than we've ever khown before.
It may be a good thing, as some maintain, to stop
and take stock, at the end of a year, to rewew, to ana
lyze, and to resolve greater accomplishments in the
New Tear. But it's never good to look back too long
or too hard. Rather it is well to remember only the
best, forget the worst, and look confidently ahead.
We renew our pledge to you of service and coop
eration. We reaffirm our faith and confidence in the
community. We continue our warmth of feeling for
all our friends and patrons.
And we wish each one of yon, and all of you,
A HAPPT NEW TEAR

“Scout In the Forest,” “Trees for
Tomorrow” and “Pineways to
Profit” are being shown in the
county and will continue through

The above mentioned films, to*
gether with various comedies have
proved interesting to schools and
gatherings where the films have
been shown. '

It is hoped that approximately 26
shows may be offered wrthin the
period remaining, with programs

Camden spent Christmas in a
proverbial and conventional man*
ner.
Co<ditatt parties fer the peopla
who could' afford to buy the neces
sities for such an event; family
gatherings of a more sedate de
gree, riotous celebrations, few but
hot, all featured the birthday of
the Kins of Kings.
In the Bpiecopal circles, the ad
vent of tbe Nattvltj was ushered
in with solemn and impressive com*
munlon rites at Grace church.
There the spirit of the occasion
was tempered with gritf over the
recent passing of Dr. Maurice
Clarke, for 11 years rector of the
church.
The Junior League sponsored a
Christmas ni^t dancins party,
while last Monday night the Ker
shaw County South Carolina club
of the state university were hosts
at a dancing party In the high
school gymnasium.
HIgh-llghtIng the festive scene
this week is tbe annual Christmas
dance at Kamsebatka, the winter
home of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Buck-
ley’ of Sharon, Conn. Here the
gracious host and hostess surround
ed by all of their children, will
