The "Boys” like small books but large print, those that are easy d. detective and western IS AN EXCELLENT CHOICE Camden and Kershaw county residents who have knqwn A. Stanley Llewellyn during the many yearn he hag been connected with the textile industry in this county and later as owner and manager of his own foundery here, will unite in extending felicita tions to him upon his being named chairman of the State ^search, Planning and Development board. And also to the state for having named a man so well qualified to take over this most important post. _ “Stan" succeeds the late Tom B. Pearce, who did a fine job during the pioneering-stage of seeking out and acquainting the nation with South Carolina’s in dustrial and tourist possibilities. __ / TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE The news pages of the Chronicle this week ca^ the story of the conferring of a distinguished service plaque to Marvin M. Reasonover. Lack of sufficient space did not permit of an extended dissertation, upon the worthiness of the recipient of this honor. For over a quarter of a century this modest citizen has served the soldiery of Kershaw county in a most fitting man- ,ner. He was a soldier in the first world war, he served with honor as adjutant to the local Legion post, he gave unsparingly of his time and effort on the selec tive service board, he gave every effort to aid the re turning soldier. His name is revered by those he aided in securing hospitaJizatiop, by those 'he secured finan cial assistance for, and by all for his unfailing interest and zeal in their behalf. The Chronicle echoes the words of A. Stanley Llewellyn in saying, “I know of nobody more deser^ng than you, Mr. Reasonpver, to receive this plaque." LESSEN FIRE LOSSES The strong hand of the law is the one'remedy to stop wholesale destruction of the young timber in Kershaw and adjoining counties it is asserted in a re port sent here from the Southern States Forestfire Commission, Inc., Birmingham, Alabama, who are helping sponsor a volunteer “Woods Fire Depart- in'Bpt” organization in this section as a ways and means to lessen the los8ea~here. “A land owner or home or bam owner whose property is burnt up through carelessness of a neij^- bor has a legal right to collect damages from the guilty party, and courts and juries are getting more strict in enforcing this law," the announcement concludes. books and peony postals and new Readers Digests. Many can not handle large novels. The Camden Library has donated a few paper backed detective stories also. This is a small but appreciated service. Alfred Ooodale will take the books over to Fort Jackson for the Red Cross. Other items desired are Vic- trola records, prizes for games, neckties, address books, walking canes, combs, flowers for Father’s Day and such attentions. They also wish groups of entertainers would come over to visit the wards. The Red Cross car could be^ used. D. A. R Notes The Hobkirk Hill chapter, DAR, was heartily welcomed by Mrs C. L. Miller, hostess, at the meeting at her home on May 30. In the ab sence of Mrs. vonTresekow, re gent, Mrs. George Nicholson, vice regent, presided. A fnlUand most interesting ac count of the DAR congress was sent by Mrs. Katherine Myers Michener, the chapter’s delegate, who lives in Alexandria, Va. A com plete scrap book of pictures and articles about the meeting was also sent. Mrs. 0’B}rrne. the head of the late Mrs. Marshall’s ticket, was elected president general with the ^entire ticket, so the chapter is con tent and knows that capable hands are at the helm and Tamassee will prosper. Mrs. Nicholson gave high lights of the recent board meeting in Columbia, and Mrs. John Wall, the newly elected registrar, brought out some Interesting data on subversive influeness now pre vailing in some schools. Mrs. C. L. Miller was elected historian in Mrs. Wall’s stead. The chapter accepted the resignation of Mrs. Wm. Whitaker as reglstrax with regret The Waxhaw chapter.
