All articles submitted for publication must be sisrned by fhe author Friday, October 17, 1947 Library Fund Given \Mis8 Crouch To Marry Governor Thurmond Duke By Jordans A GENTLEMAN IS THE MAYOR In the Sunday edition of the Charleston News and Courier, under the above caption, is the following editorial: “F. N. McCorkle, mayor of Camden, ordered the police to shut down two girl shows in the Kershaw County Fair grounds, declaring that they were ob- ■ scene, vile and lewd. In the office of mayor, Camden has a gentleman. He has set an example for mayois who are gentlemen.” Here in Camden the action of Mr. McCorkle in closing the tWo filthy girl shows was given strong ap proval by the right type of people. The fact that Mr. McCorkle has declared that if he is re-elected mayor next spring he will see that public decency is not offended by having immoral garbage publicly displayed within the city limits, is a challenge to whoever is in the administration chair when carnival time rolls round again. » WHY NOT A COMMUNITY CHEST HERE? The season of the drives js upon us. Between this date and the end of this calendar year, several ap peals will be made, each to provide funds for a worthy, necessary cause. As in the past, our com munity will be well-canvassed and will make a good to excellent showing in the final tabulations. For each of the three to five drives there will be a separate re organization, each doing a similar job for a different cause and each sacrificing valuable time and effort to the cause involved. This comment is made because there is an easier ^ way oflloing it. There are tw’O, in fact, but one would be asking too much. It involves equal responsibility in procuring funds to subsidize organizations like the Infantile Paralysis foundation. Red Cross, and others, a responsibility based on the proven fact that bene fits are mutual and protection is universal for those who support the activities as well as for those who don't. More practical and already widely accepted as the proper procedure for handling the multiplicity of charitable organizations supported by public dona tions, is the Community Chest system, in which a single contribution suffices for all. It’s doqbtful what the reaction among donors in this area would be, but among the campaigners we’ll bet a dime to a rusty nail support for the change would be unanimous. —Pageland Journal.
