For this reason, your editors have obtained the answers to a number of questions which we believe will be of interest to each ClintonLydia employee who drives an automobile. This law is designed to protect the public (you) in the case of an accident as far as money is concerned. Of course if a person is killed or injured in an accident, no amount of monev can reallv pay for the damage, but if someone runs into you. t his law is there to help you obtain damages for any loss incurred up to $11,000. According to the highway department, the law is designed to deny the ure of the highways to financially irresponsible owners and operators of cars or trucks. The law provides that if you are involved in an accident involving death, injury or property damage of S'2r> or more, you must file a written report with the state highway department. If the property damage is $50 or more, or someone is killed or injured, a second report also must be filed showing how much auto insurance you have. IUM OYEES OF CLINTON-LYDIA f m _ 's ,wd W ^ ?

Clinton superintendent, arewell ceremony. a R ti onsibility t< rtrl R\# All n a1 volving death, injury or more than $50 in property damages, one of the first things you will have to do is prove that you can pay off claims amounting to as much as S' $11,000. That is a lot of money to prove you are worth unless " vou have taken steps in ad- s< ai vance. . Best Step ir The best way is to take out L an automobile liability policy li which proves $5,000 for an injury to one person, $10,000 for sc all injuries resulting from an hi accident, and $1,000 for pro- N pertv damage. This is the h minimum policy sold by most N insurance companies and the rates of some are not out of ir reach. At least one companv M checked makes this policv available on a semi-annual ^ basis so that you can pay your *r premiums twice a year, at ai half the yearly rate, instead d: of paying the entire premium at one time. In any event, your future securitv and that of all vour ^ family may be at stake if you do not take out such a policy, e even if you have to scrimp ei and save to buy the policy, P because once an accident hap- a pens, AND THEY HAPPEN J MORE THAN ONCE A ? MINUTE, you are really in hot water. {] Sec. 34.66, P. L. & R. U. S. POSTAGE PAID Clinton, S. C. Permit No. 59 JLTOJI& JANUARY 15. 195*5 tavid Roberts s Appointed As lew Lydio Supt.
