. Thera’s more than one way to
get one’s reedin’, ’rltln’ and ’rlth
metic. For most of us, a men
tlon of the three “r’s” brings to
mind the little red school house
with nil the trimmings. Bat here
In Camden there la a variation on
the usual theme. This variation
Is the Calvert school.
There are those who, for one
reason or another, arc unable to
get their education through the
public school system. There are
those who prefer that their chil
dren be taught In a private school.
For those people the Calvert school
was organised.
More than 20 years ago (she pre
tends she doeen't like to admit it)
Mrs. Blakeney Zemp organised in
her own home a private school, and
planned it in accordance with a
parent school in Baltimore, the
Calvert school. The modest school
became part of a chain of similar
schools that extended around the
world, and provided for children
whose parents traveled, or who
moved, a chance to continue their
education uninterrupted. Today
that chain has been extended to
more than 60 branche schools, all
carrying out the same program
prescribed by the parent school'
Camden's Calvert school has
moved three times, was halted
briefly during the war and has
find classes varying In sise and
number. But 11 Is still very much
in operation at its present location
on Fair street, and It is still un
der the cloee guidance of its origi
nal headmistress, Mrs. Zemp.
Today’s school has an enrollment
of II young pupils, ranking m ad
vancement from the first through
the seventh grades. Assisting Mrs.
Zemp In her instructing duties at
the Camden school are Mrs Anna
Montgomery and Mrs. Joan Cane.
The Calvert school in Camden
Is the only one In South Carolina.
There is another branch group In
Durham, N. C. The Calvert sys
tem boasts branch groups, however,
as far away as French Bquttorlal
Africa.
Housed in the same building
with the Calvert school Is the Cam
den kindergarten, where 21 chil
dren of pre-school age come every
weekday for supervised playing,
singing and pre-school learning,
Mrs. Gertrude Campbell and Mrs.
Alfred Boykin are In charge of the
children and are with them every
day to teach them their songa and
to guide tfeem in their activity.
When medical authorities ad
vise tuberculosis patients they
may leave the hospital because
their disease is “arrested,” there
is no danger the patients will
spread tuberculosis.

All over the world today there ere people teaching bitterneaa
end Kfta,
Here in America we have learned to Bve together in friendship.
For os here at A&P, it baa been a wonderful and thrilling ex
perience to get from thoee with whom we compete day after day
such astounding evidence of friendship and respect
• ' .. . -
The things that have happened since the anti-trust lawyers from
Washington brought suit to destroy AAP have amazed us.
While we sincerely believed that we had earned the friendship
of millions of consumers for whoa w# have provided better food
at lowsr prices, and die friendship of mOKons of farm families
for whoa we have provided a batter market for their produce,
we were not prepared for the avalanche of offers of support
But most of all, we have to confess that we had underestimated
the fine sportsmanship of many of opr competitors efl oar the
country.
' * ' ~ ' t';- • , ' ' *. _ $ •'€* .
Can anyone believe that these competitors would rush to our
defense if, as the anti-trust lawyers allege, we had been trying
to put them out of business? / .
We and they have fought hard for business.
• i
There are nearly 350,000 indhriduel grocers competing with us.
They have a larger share of the nation's grocery hnsinnss today
than they had tan years agoev twenty years ago.
Many of them do a good a job as we do, and they pgako it
plenty tough for us.
Now, day after day, these same competitors ate leldng us know
that they are in our corner.

All we can say is, thank you from die bottom of on

• • • • Tho neat AAP is not detrimonUl to tho progresa
of the grocery bnaincaa. On tho contrary, AAP boa always
boon beneficial to any open-minded businessman who be
lieves in FREE ENTERPRISE. Feuded on the principle of
FAIR PLAY and PAIR PRICES, AAP developed from a
humble start to its present commanding position la the field
of retail merchandising.
S o o o o My experience as a former employee of the TEA
COMPANY has served me welL I attribute my success to the
ideas and methods tried, tested and proven by the AAP
stores—at a great cost
o o f o AAP upholds the rights and privileges of a good
worker. I know this from personal experience. AAP is ever
on the lookout to promote sincere and ambitious employees
to trustworthy and important positions and has never
crossed the efforts of any employee to enter into business
for himself. AAP helped me to start in business... IS THAT
AN ACT OF A COMPANY MONOPOLIZING THE GROCERY
BUSINESS? NO!

• • • • During the depression of the thirties, AAP p***
higher wages than any other chain. AAP has striven to
keep up the standard of living In this country. I shudder to
think what would happen to Its 111,ON employees if It was
forced out of business.
o e e o I am not afraid of AAP eompetitioa—I welcome
