BETHUNE LEADS THE WAY
For five years the jjood people of the Bethune
community have presented their community picnic
with its loaded tables of fried chicken, baked ham
and what not. People came from miles around to re
new old friendships and make new acquaintances and
listen to a program of mirth, melody and fun. On
each occasion the picnic has been a success.
It has been suggested that other communities
of the county could profit by following in the footsteps
of Bethune. A community picnic in each of the Ker
shaw county townships would do well toward build
ing for a greater Kershaw county. Why not give it
a trial in 1948.
OUTSTANDING AMERICAN MAN
Camden’s Bernard Baruch, outstanding states
man, blessed with traditional ^uth Carolina man
ners, was selected as “The Outstanding American
Man’’ by Billy Rose, guest star of a recent Tex and
Jinx program heard over the NBC recently.
Billy Rose of all people should realize the sterling
worth and qualities of Mr. Baruch, for he was-sec
retary to this outstanding South Carolinian for 20
years, prior to his entry into the show game.
KEEP TRADE AT HOME
*
Economists say that we. are returning rapidly to
an era in which business will no longer walk through
the door without being invited. That being the case,
it’s time for the business men of the community to
sell the community as a trading center^
Trade at home is the theme of this editorial. Keep
the local dollars at home. Attract additional dollars
from the people who live within our community’s
rightful trading area—and expand this trading area
if you can.
To keep our trade at home, to attract new trade
from our own as well as adjacent areas—the business
man must send forth an invitation. That invitation
must be in the form of advertising. We have confi
dence enough in the good people of this trade area to
know that if they can buy a commodity here in Cam
den, they will do it. It’s your job Mr. Merchant to let
these people know you have what they seek. And the
way to reach them is through advertising.
Let’s unite in teamwork that will make our com
munity an attractive, economical and efficient place
in which to shop.
ISN’T IT THE TRUTH
An exchange comes to the Chronicle news desk
and it carries an editorial anent the sale of the Rock
Hill Herald by A. W. Huckle to a Goldsboro, N. C.,
newspaper man.
The editorial goes on to tell of the 26 years that
Mr. Huckle has been in Rock Hill. It tells of his
achievements, of the great amount of time and effort
toward the development of that city to its high rank
today. It tells of his warm friends and then refers to
the enemies he made in his home town.
, Says the editorial, “Such appears to be the case
wh6n one does something for a town. It all boils down
to the fact that if you do not want enemies—^then do
nothing—be a yes, yea man.’’ ~
May we add that we rate Mr. Huckle as one of
the foremost publishers in the state. Rock Hill owes
its present industrial and civic high status to him and
his newspaper. He will always be an asset to Rock
Hill regardless of the fact that, some of the citizens
may object to the way be combs his hair.
HOW ABOUT CAMDEN STREETS
W©' note where the state highway department
is engaged in making repairs to streets in Florence
which are maintained by the state. This reminds us
that both Broad street and DeKalb street, main ar
terial highways in Camden, carrying the bulk of the
traffic, have need of immediate attention. The asphalt
pavements were put on these two streets some quar
ter of a century ago and while still in fair condition,
should have immediate attention, else they will de-
terioriate rapidly. Cracks, excavations made by the
city and carelessly filled are much in evidence.’At
tention how will be a money saver.

4 hillness thereof; the world,
and they that dwell therein” (Ps.
34:1). The mar. who knows the .Lord
recognizes that ihe material and the
spiritual world are both Caod’s, and
that there is in the final analysis no
dividing line between the secular
and the sacred.
To keep our thinking straigbt
about the story uf Jol^ we quote an
excellent summary by Dr. B. L.
Olmstead: “Our' lesson today
stresses the works of God as seen
in nature. The longer lesson of a
few chapters (Job 38-41) consists of
the whole of the Lord’s answer to^
Job out of s whirlwind after the
dialogue with the three friends is
completed, and after a youthful by
stander, EUhu. had undertaken to
give Job an answer (eba. 8S-S7).

of our printed lesson—

J OB'S friend Elihu bad made a
rather good speech, but he had
missed the real point of Job’s test
ings. So the Lord rebukes him as
one who darkens counsel "by words
without knowledge.’’
How apUy that- expresses much
that is going on in our day. Brilliant
men, leaders in science, economics
and government, but without the
true knowledge which comes from
a simple faith in God, are now flll-

The Camden Chronicle
Camden, 8. C.
Dear Sir:
A short time ago, while reading
ihe weekly issne of the Camden
Chronicle, I paused with intense
interest at your tfiogreasive edi
torial pertaining to the proposed
campaign for municipal awhn-
ming pool. I re-read the editoHal
as its meaning became clearer and
clearer in my mind. There came a
sudden realization that this was the
type of thing that our town and
county has needed for a long time.
I realised further that uncon
sciously for many montha I bad
been comparing Camden with
other towns of my personal knowl
edge and still other eommuniUee
through newsprint I began to re
member as I saw in travelling or
reading of the community projects
in other towns and cities.that these
had been a mingled reaction of
Joy and regret Joy that some
towds and communities were put
ting more emphasis on the cherish
ed art of living and building whole
some youth foundation upon which
the future of those communities
will depend; regret that, as a citi
zen of Camden and Kershaw coun
ty, I could not enjoy thb same
personal pleasure and pride.
As I laid my paper aside and
began thinking of our own town.
I suddenly realized probably for
the first time the many advantages
that our community has to offer.
We are a town that is rich in his
torical lore, a heritage for which
we should be Justly proud. We have

our own Immediate needs and also
a great industrial potential; land—
that ia fertile and sufficient to
provide food for many and liveli
hood for dioae that follow that
honorable profession; forest—vast
and diverslfled. providing employ
ment and income for a large num
ber of our citizens; beauty—the
natural beauty of our community
has been preserved to a large d^
gree as vS result of thoughtful
planning and wiae industry on the
part of onr people. Ours Is a com
munity that we enjoy and lova.
Ours is a community that JmiJA
future. .But there la no future If
we are content to remain m we
are.
Growth is essential to any com-
mnnity. That growth must be sgrl-
cultural. industrial, civic, and ao-
ciaL as well ss spiritual, for we
should never.torget that we are a
God-fearing people.
We are fortunate in the yputh of
onr community. Wo have no Juve
nile delinquency problem^y^hlch
makes it imperative up6i| -ns to
take steps in any way possible to
insure ourselves that we will never
have one. We have the natural
faculties of dispersed psr|ts and
playgrounds awaiting development
to provide proper recreation for
our children as our . town grows—
and it is inevlUble that It must
grow. We must not only keep stop
with our certain Industrial growth.
