But we do point out that in war time* your pre scription pharmacist has a rather important part to play. We share, with your physi cian, the great responsibility of keeping people wall ao that our vitally important war work will not be delayed; If you are feeling a little under par physically, we urge you to call on a good physi cian. Our part is to nil his prescription—exactly as di rected—and at a fair price. A strange place it would be — this State of ours—if our splendid 11,975-mile net work of improved highways suddenly ceased to exist Smith'; Pharmacy The RexaR Dreg Store A greet many communities would be isolated. Others would find it infinitely more difficult to carry on even the moat ordinary daily activities—with no trades on the move, no cars or buses taking worker* to war plants and farms, soldiers to camp and home on furlough, business travelers to nearby communities, chil dren to school . Transforming these lifeless ribbons of concrete and macadam into live, active arteries of public transportation has been the accomplishment of the South Carolina Public Service Commission. * They've labored hard and long feq give f t our State a transportation system that compares favorably with any other in die Country. We South Carolinians are apt to toke for granted the convenience of our excellent roads — but these highways didn’t just grow. Building n«d maintaining js a tremendous job and for. achieving this successfully we can thank past and pree- ent administrations and particularly tha South Carolina Highway Department That isn’t the whole Moot hoarexer. All of ua who live and wwk and pay taxes in South Carolina can take pride in our share of this highway system. As fellow citizens, the Greyhound Lines have made a very large contribution in the form of license, fuel and operating taxes—but we feel that our greatest service is in putting tbs highways to work for die benefit of all who must travel, making near neighbors and good neighbor* of all the communities we •eem throughout the State.
