M——————i———i " ■ " w.r—" ' All articles submitted for publication must be signed by the author FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1947 GOD SPEED GOOD FRIEND J. B. Caston, pastor of the First Baptist church in Camden for over seventeen and a half years, will de liver his farewell sermons at the church Sunday, Feb ruary 9. Dr. Caston, in the opinion of this writer and we believe of .every man, woman and child in Camden and vicinity, has been a great power for good during the years he has served the community. A great heart, a personality that was a God-send to the sorrowing and afflicted. A man to whom we all turned to with our troubles, big and small.^And he was never want ing in his wise counsel and advice. We are going to miss Dr. Caston. We ^11 miss his cheery hello that was never-failing when we met on the streets or in the homes, his firm handclasp, his ever pleasant and encouraging smile. Dr. Caston has been a fixture in our lives for so many years it seems impossible to think of Camden •witihout him. We are happy in the thought that he will not be far away and we can look forward to see ing him at intervals. In the meantime may be extend to him our sin cere wishes for his continued happiness and good health—wherever he may be. THOMAS ALVA EDISON - One hundred years ago Thomas Alva Edison was bom. In terms of time alone the past one hundred years is but a brief spark. In terms ihowever of practi cal progress it has been a period of productive prog ress. All due to that revered character, Thomas Alva Edison. Perhaps more than any other creative mind, his helped to lift us from darkness to a standard of liv ing unique in the world. Without him we would not have motion pictures and record players, prefabri cated houses and the benefits of coaltar derivatives as we know them today. It is much such as‘Thomas Alva Eldison, who prove—and make—this country the land of oppor tunity that it is. WHAT WILL THEY DO? At least eigtht members of the state senate are members of the dual-officers club at the state capital. How long these senators will continue in office remains to be seen. Lieut.

Members of the senate holding two or more posi tions are; " R. M. Jefferies of Colleton, general manager of the State Public Service (Santee Cooper) authority. Edgar A.

In 1919, the S. C. DAR opened a school at Tamaasee for the benefit of needy mountain^ children. One small bnllding for dormitory, school rooms, religious and social activi ties—now a place to which hun dreds of mountain boys and girls have come and gone, better trained and prepared for citizenship among their own people.

Scooting Rugged Ontdoors Program Boy Scouting is a rugged, out- of-doors program, full of adventure that boys Ilka, says Dr. Oeorge J. Fisher, National Scout commis sioner of the Boy Scouts of Ameri ca, in a statement for Boy Scout Week, February 7 to 13, marking the 37th anniversary of Uie organi zation. Dr. Fisher, a member the original National Council of the or ganization in 1910, became depnty i chief Scout executive in 1919, a post he held nntil 1949^ was designated aa National, ^out commiaaloner. His statement fol lows: POSTED Notice—Any * persons huntias; fishing or otherwise trespassing on this land or making fires or per mitting fires, set by them, to nm dr bum thereon or pMturiu^ moving didrefrom trees, Torn straw, will be proeecuted ^ fall extent of the law. 47^ e Boy Scout movement is boy centered! The entire movement is focnsed on the boy's interests and needs. "While there are a half, million men in the American movement.in the United States, they ere hoy- minded, boy motivated. They, are specially trained to serve the bojc,.- to work with the boy, to carry the program to the boy. More than 99 per cent of i^e«e are volnn- teers. They are asasociated In the program of Scouting becauae they want to be, and because they are in sympathy with the high alms of Scouting. Voluntarism is an Ameri can principle. It is a cardinal prin ciple in Scouting. “And what la the program of Booii^g? Well in outline it is cleai^set forth in the Scout Hand books where all can read it and whoever wishes may use it. It is a program that boys like. It is a rugged out-of-doors program, full of adventure. It develops individual ism at well aa group action. “While there are some standard requirements in the program they have to do largely with basic things related to health, to train ing in out-of-doora. 'There la no regimentation. Boys get their Scouting In a small group which may be sponsored by a school, or a church, or bjr a club, or by the citisens in a community. More than 100 different types of agencies sponsor more than 64,000 Scout groups in the nation. Scouts are a cross section of the boys of America. They belong to no single group. “A principle of Scouting is not so much to do things for boys, as to aid them in doing thlni^ for themselves and for others. Scout ing is a boy's program.” W. H.
