Crocker Calvin Cooper Ellis Huffstetler THE CLOTHMAKER POINT SYST CHANGE, I Effective January 1 any South Carolina motorist convicted of a hazardous moving traffic law violation carrying four or more points under the Driver Improvement Point System must prove financial responsibility for the future or lose his driver's license. The State Highway Department reminds motorists that the Point System provision is one of several extensive changes in the Safety Responsibility law made at the last session of the General Assembly. During an average month over 4.000 drivers in South Carolina are convicted of traffic law violations carrying four or more points. Over half of the 20 traffic law violations for w h i c h Be SUREBe SAFE Your Christmas tree can be the best one ever, if you play it safe. All over the nation newspapers will carry tragic accounts of fires that occur during the Christmas holidays, sometimes around the tree itself. A Christmas tree burns fioreelv horancn it io , le 10 1 II iLll with resin and the needles dry out rapidly. Listed are some safety suggestions offered for your protection. Choose a small tree. Larger ones present more hazards. Don't set it up until a few days before Christmas. Keep it outdoors as long as possible. Choose the right location for the tree. Don't let it block an exit and keep it away from heat sources l'ke fireplaces. radiators, and television sets. Stand your tree in water and sprinkle the branches with water from time to time until you bring it indoors to be decorated. Replace water when it has evaporated. As for decorations?he sure and use onlv tree lights that carrv the Underwriter's Laboratories label, that is a sign of safety. Check wires to see that they are not frayed. Do not plug too manv lights into a single wall socket. Keep metal foil icicles and tinsel out of bulb sockets and away f j" o m electric toy trains. Never, never run an electric train under the Christmas tree. Throw awav all gift wrappings as soon as presents have been opened. Turn off the Christmas tree lights when no one is home. As soon as the needles start falling, take the tree down and discard it. The city officials would appreciate it if citizens would saw their trees in half and tie the two pieces into a compact bundle with rope or twine. If we have a Christmas which is accident-free, it will be a happy Christmas for all. -40- ^ EM HITS HARDER EFFECTIVE JANUAI points are charged against a person's driving record under the Point System carry four or more points. Six point violations are reckless driving. hit - and - run accidents which cause property damage only, and passing a stopped school bus. Four point violations are: speeding or driving too fast for conditions, disobedience of any official traffic control device and disobedience of any officer directing traffic, failing to yield the rioht-of-wav. driving on the wrong side of the road, passing unlawfully, turning unlawfully, and d riving through or within a safety zone.

Proof of financial safety responsibility required of individual motorists is usually obtained through an aulomobile liability insurance policy but may also be provided by depositing cash, securities or corporate surety bonds with the state treasurer. The State Highway Department advises each motorists to re-examine his motor vehicle liability policy to see if it provides at least $10,000 insurance protection where an accident results in bodily injury or death to one person; at least $20,000 for bodily injury or death to two persons in any one accident and at least $5,000 for injury or destruction of property.
