CLINTON. S. a, THURSDAY. JANUARY ^ ,1937
EVER-READY RED CROSS
The American Red Cross is^^lling
to the people of America to open
their heart.s to aid the 750,000 home
less flood .sufferers in the Ohio val
ley who are victims of a major na
tional calamity such as this country
has never, before witnessed. The.se
people, driven from their homes, are
without foixl and clothing, bedding,
>1
fuel and drinking water. To go into
the ttetails of the tragic stoi^ is'Hm^
necessaiy. The accounts in the daily
press, ami the radio bioadcas^ts for
a
help for the refugee.s, Ls a heart
breaking appeal bound to touch the
heail.s of ' listeners and inspire u.s al|
to come forward with our donations
irTthis great hour of human suffer
ing to combat i>estilence, panic and
starvation.
I Clinton, of course, wants to have a
pail in thi.s work of allcjviating suf-
^ fering and need in an area where
'" death and damage continucT to mount.

A dangerouH^ bill
Governor Johnston upon returning
this week from the Washington inau
guration said that he discussed with
President Roosevelt the question \ of
i approval of the proposed child labor
amendment to the constitution. by the
South Carolina legislature. 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? Do they know what ora- The country has just had a good
gress, once given this power, will'examDls of how Mr. Lewis's labor da
do?” .
TMs proposal, favorably acted upon
by ihe necessary number of states,
will mMn the centralising of moi^
power in. Washington. It will m^an
that the people will lose bontrol of
their children less than eighteen years
of age and vest this authority with
congress. It is an amendment that
.should be killed.

4 A MONUMENT TO DEBT
(The News and Courier)
The Americans, except the unem
ployed, are said to be prosperous.
“Recovery” has been made. The stock
market booms. Dividends and extra
dividends are given. Farmers receive
checks for not planting, lands and
good prices for their cotton and to
"C". pi".

IHRIFTIEST
IN ALL FORD HISTORY 1
MOVING ON WHEELS
There is a commoq^ expression now
adays that the “world moves on
wheels.” The i'ndictment is true,
and in this motor procession South
Carolina has a prominent {dace.
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. Though these new
machines are stronger, more easily,
controlled, and mechanically safer—

When such disAster strikes, the
great Red Cross Mother is instantly
on 'the spot as a non-political, humani
tarian agency to alleviate suffering. It
stands as an indiSperiHable emergency
arm with its forces mobilized and
ready for action. To <k) its job, it must
have our moiml and financial sup
port. Reflect if you can—^what would

and drunken drivers. The tnotor
death rate in the cities is coming
down by reason of better enforcement
of traffic laws. At the same time
it is going up in the country. An
investigation of traffic and ^accidents,
shows the most dangerous place to
dri\^is on a wide, well paved high
way on a clear.day. That is where
and when motorists get careless or
reckless. Sunday is the most danger
ous day in the week, Wednesday the
safest. Twice as many persons are
killed by cars between 7 aiid 8 o’clock
in the evening as between. 7 and 8 in
the morning.
Yes, we are rapidly moving on
whsela. Ibe fault of the bloody
carnage we are daily witnessing is not
with the car nor the highway, hot
with the driver. Thera a» law states
