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.

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
