C., May 27. —Charleston, often accused of looking only backward, is today in~ two directions at once. It is looking out for the fu ture when its present war boon will have subsided. It is des perately trying to care for near ly 40,000 more population with- in its restricted area, and for 50,000 more outside situation for a city which years back counted its at 62,000 and had for industry the sale charm. Things seldom come isto Charleston, but the war did It shot the personnel at the Navy Yard from 4,000 to an es timated 25,000—the Navy won't give the exact figure. Time was when the “below Broad street” was time- less. The people who mattered lived there, and had for a couple of centuries. The houses always sat endwise to the street, the Plazzas (not galleries in Charles ton) were superimposed one on another and faced south the breeze. . Through the gates one saw lawns, where palmettos rat- four citizens its chiei its of own crashing jtled, camellia-japonicas burst in. to bloom, and the scented fluff balls of the opopanax trees were golden. inthe sun. It seems almost symbolic to some Charlestonians that this winter of the great change should have been one of the worst on record, with 17 freezes instead of the customary one.-or two. _ Workers “Move In Below; Broad: the . houses - are still nipstly: in ‘the bands ‘of ‘sub- staiitial “eitizeps,, but in the sep arate quarters for servants be- hind thé great houses you will ‘ind rooms for workers who spend. their time hacking aw at ship steel, instead of traipsing through the gardens and stand ang with guidebook in hand be fore the old and really beauti- ful houses that are the glory ot Charleston: Sailors always have roared up and down King Street, which is Charleston’s chief business thor- oughfare, but in no such quantity ‘as this spring.

In March and.April of 1940, 108,350 tourists..visited Charles- ton, and the;mext year it was ‘146,100. Paul W. Conant, secre. tary of Charleston’s Chamber of Commerce, estimates that the same two months this spring should have seen 15,000 tourists. The bottom has dropped out. But that is a minor matter, for the space formerly used sleeping tourists is all rented. Business, overall, is better. <etbe problem is ne Srotlen 3s, Ereservaas 2h sad SQUIBB ‘HIGH POTENCY strained 4 district} for | Fringing Coast Of Littic continue The —the many Streets id hy 0d Avea t blassee¢ Aas mstel. fiems am Sicily.
