KIND OF GIFTS TO, GIVE

Cliristmas gifts —fall 'jinto tljiree
classes: som^ing to keep, something
to use, and something to use up.
In selecting gifts for loved ones
cipients have no use. Give sensible,
serviceable, useful gifts is a splendid
heading for any holiday advertise
ment, and an admonition that should
not be forgotten by the millions of
shoppers whJ at this sea.^n lake to
the'streets and stores during De
cember.
A little thought will suggest many
useful gifts that will find favor with
those who are on your Christmas list.
Giving should be done with common
sen.se and intelligence. .4^^^

A PARKING SUGGESTION
Walking to our office every morn
ing we are usually passed by several
merohants and clerks in their care
going to work. Arriving at their
places _of business their cars are
parked at the front and there re
main in most instances for the day.
This practice for tbe'month of De
cember at lea.Ht, should be di.scarded.
At the pre-Christmas season throngs
of people are on the streets daily,
many coming fi-dm the rural sections
and other towns and cities to shop
and ftifdinif U difficult to obtain
parking rspace.
It’s none of our bu.siness whether
the merchants, salesmen and sales
ladies ride or walk to their work.
We are glad to see them all own cars
and ride in the good makes that are
advertised regularly in The Chronicle.
But for the convenience of the buy
ing public we'are again making the
following suggeatkm to merchants

HUNTERS SHOULD BE CAREFUL
The hunting season now open by and thefr saleXforces:

and fields is a familiar scene and
brings to minii the many accidents

and tragedies that follow each year.
The hunting season calls for, or
certainly should—caution. It always
brings anew the danger of injuries
from shooting paraphernalia in the
hands of amateurs or those who are
thoughtless and careless. It renews
the often-told story of a life wiped
out' iiy the discharge of an empty
, giin.. Sunch warnings should make
lAers of the sport bdth careful and
precautious.
Here are twelve mighty good tips
qiL-Tules for hunters to follow. We
suggest that you read them thought
fully then paste them in your
hunting^|Mjte be a ^on|te^^ reminder
wheneveeVtet^take tM 'fUlda.
T Do Toad j^u^^un uptil you
rSefT your huntmg grounds.
2. Do-not carry a loaded gun ir^an
automobile or on your horse..
Unload your-'gun before getting
in a boat and do not load your gun in
" a moving boat.
4. Always unload before climbing
over a fence, and never lean a loaded
gun against a support.
5. Never point your gun at any ob
ject unless you expect to shoot.
6. Never put your hand on the
4 muzzle of the gun.
7. Never carry your gun with the
safety off.
_ 8. Never point a gun at^anybody.
9. Never rest the muzzle on the
ground.
10. NeveF jump a ditch with a load
ed gun.
IL Do not load your gun in the
house. . '
12. Never shoot at a question pnark
—it might be a man.
“Kindly leave your cars at home
or park them in the rear of the. build
ings during business hours to re
lieve parking congestion on the
square an^ in the business section.’
This suggestion if followed will
prove a convenience and help to the
buying public and at the same time
show a courtesy and consideration for
prospective customers you desire to
.see in your stores. The more park
ing space left on the square -for the
convenience of visitors, the more will
Christmas shopping be expedited and
increased dolkin find their way into
cash di4wers.

IT’S IN ’THE AIR
It is noted that in presenting bud-
girt reque^:jjr„CollMtthil^^
ing year, practically all institutions,
agencies and departmente of the state
are asking for enlarged appropri-
jUtions.
A prediction a few days ago by
state officials of a substantial in
crease in estimated current state in
come for the coming year, immediate
ly bolstered an appeal for the reator-
ation of all state employees’ salaries
to the 1931 level. Then came the an
nouncement from the state depart
ment of education that an increase
will Wrought in the scale of teach
ers’ salaries. And pow the statement
that, a half^ lYiilUdn dollars will be
sought for an enlargement to the
state office building. And as the hear
ings -'requests for enlarged ap
propriations will doubtless be present
ed and go from the budget committee
to the general assembly.
We are not diacussing the requests
or their need or "importance. We are
pointing out teat the contagious
spending idea as handed down from
Washington “is in the air” in 'South
Carolina, as well aa other etatea.
And why sdMuldn’t this feeling exr
ist ? If it ia not necessary or advisable
to Curtail federal, spending, why
should we be called qpon to practice
economy at home? If Sar.a Claus is
