THIRTY YEARS AGO IN QOLDVILLE ^ Thirty years ago 1907) William A.

He stated tha^^ he explained hia position to the president, f^alRng he had advocated approval in his 1934 message to the I legislature. “If the legislature passes it, .1 will be glad to sign it,”; he de clared. “But,” he added, “the question is one for the legislature.” This, in our .judgment, is a danger ous amendment, giving as it does .sweeping control of youth to congress. The proposal has been rejected be fore by the South Carolina general assembly, but signs now point that it is to be presented agrain. It should be killed for the double reason that it is ,1 United States. Do the peoplje want!conceive/ to be its share of the. pro- this? Do ^y favor aq .invasion^of duetkm of wealth- ' the home?

The year 1936 was a big year all over the country for the automobile industry. South Carolinian's during the twelve months period bought a total of 24,69U new autotnObiles, and 6,133 trucks., ■Conservatively eati- niated at a low figure, this means that more than two and a half mil lion dollars was spent in this state for new motor vehicles, this figure .in no way j^ferring to an eaonaoua amount spent for second-hand ma chines!. . j This means more oars on the high ways and increased travel hazard. Each year sees manufacturers build ing b^ter and safer cars. Likewise each year brings better, more scien-i tifically designed highways, and yet accidents grow worw, both in num ber and severity.
