C. All articles submitted for publication must be signed by the author Friday, October 10, 1947 JOIN THE NATIONAL GUARD Right at this time the Chronicle wants to give its approval to the campaign, now on in recruiting for the National Guard. Camden and Kershaw county is for tunate in having a National Guard unit that carries a traditionally famous name—-the Kershaw Guards. Its prestige dates back many decades. Membership in the National Guard, and especial ly in the Camden and Kershaw unit offers many ad vantages: The men are given substantial remunera tion for their time while' training and drilling. Tenta tive plans call for social affairs from time to time and the company also enjoys a period of camp life each year at full army pay. • The Kershaw Guards constitute a safe guard for the city and county. While it is hoped there will never be any reason for calling out the unit, the fact does remain that it is there should occasion arise. The Guards have a fine armory, the officers are men of intelligence and skill, the personnel is of the best. The unit deserves every encouragement. Join now. THE HIGH SCHOOL BAND It goes without saying that everyone who has watched the Camden high school band In action, feel a deep and sincere pride in the organization of this most colorful and tuneful group of young people. The Chronicle feels that the Camden school should have a deep feeling of pride in having such a fine organiza tion. Much credit should be given to Hal Middleton, the director, who really has accomplished wonders in the short time he has been in charge. Camden high school deserves congratulations of having an outstand ing band and director, one of the best football coaches in the state and a grid team to be proud of. THE LEVEL OF EDUCATION On paper, South Carolina has made great strides m education, but not as great as it would appear. Teachera’ salaries have been increased until they are almost in waving distance of the increase in the cost of living. The grade level has been increased^rbm 11 to 12 years but attendance must be increased. Education, like water, seeks its level. South Caro lina cannot afford to Jet this level settle. It must be constantly raised and this costs monej^. We must not be satisfied with small gains, we must not rest upon our haunches after hard work. Constant effort is necessary. Remember it has been proven that educa tion pays off.
