And don’t think we haven’t been making the most of it Following a custom of some years, th e Calendar Society of Central Methodist church, a more or less social organization, is giving a Val entine party Friday afternoon at the Willoiwbrook Club house. The oc casion is the 30th birthday of the So ciety. This affair always turns out to be interdenominational for a large group of women of the city attend and look foward to it from one year to the next. I’ve heard quite a bit of the coming party in the past few days and always this remark comes forth, “they are always such nice parties and everyone seems to have a good time.” If all the parties that have been given in Columbia in honor of Miss Essie Claire Caughman of that city and Roy Whitaker of Newberry were put end to end, there would be long long line of parties. The wed ding of this couple takes place this (Thursday) evening in the St. Paul’s Lutheran church of Columbia. The yelow jasmine blooming so freely now does its part by “bright ening the corner” where it is. After the dull colors of winter, it is a joy to see these bright little heralds of spring. And have you noticed, jon quils are popping up everywhere And the sweet-smelling breath-of spring is now in full bloom. The grounds about the court house are postively beautiful for here is found jasmine and breath-of-spring galore. Note also on your next trip to the business section, the large amount of jasmine about the post office. Dot French, attractive little daugh ter of the J. D. Frenches, celebrated her eighth birthday Tuesday afternoon when she invited six of her class mates to spend the afternoon with her. A Valentine motif was used in decorations, refreshments, and favors. The children played many merry games and later in the after noon were invited into the dining room for ice cream, cakes, and candy NEW! “Safe Driver Reward” ' ' f Insurance Plan ' / SAFE DRIVER REWARD became effective in South Carolina on February 1, 1936. The plan will be applica ble to all private passenger automobiles insured for both Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability on a specified car basis for a period of 12 months at the regular manual rates. The basis of the Plan provides for rewarding, individually and directly, the car owner who has no claims made against him. It is the answer to the appeals of careful drivers for recognition of the fact that they are entitled to individual preferential treatment in their automobile liability insurance. This plan has already proved a success and has been hailed as a real contribution to the encouragement of more careful driving. The plan guarantees to private automobile owners who are insured for both Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability, a 15 per cent refund of the premium for such coverage provided no claims are paid or reserves for such claims set up under their policies during the 12 months the policies are in force. The reward will be paid by the insurance company, through the agent who wrote the policy, 30 days after the expiration of the insurance This 15 per cent Reward should be a strong incentive to motorist to drive more carefully and should un questionably bring about a reduction in the number and severity of automobile accidents. This, in turn, should fur ther have a beneficial effect upon Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability insurance rates. SECURITY Loan & Investment Co.
