\ / Brake Drive In City Progresses While most motorists in Clinton 'and vicinity have good to excellent ^brakes, the brake-check program be ing conducted by the police shows that far too "many drivers have a blind faith in brakes which “can’t atop m time.” according to Chief of Police L. H. fia^well. During the first two weeks of •brake-check program, many cars •tiave been checked by the ponce and a high percentage failed to meet re- .quirements essential for safe driving. No ar#ests have been made as a dirept result of these brake checks andi the policy of warning is used, said Chief Bagwell, who stated that while most motorists contacted by the police appreciate the urgency of conserving their cars, many do not seem to realize that their cars must not only last for the duration of the war but for two or three additional years. The brake-check is applied to cars involved in moving traffic violations, s in accidents and also to those yvrated in the manner indicating msafe brakes, 'S’This is not a blanket check on all cars,” Chief Bagwell said, “yet it is j hoped all drivers will cooperate by having their brakes tested voluntar- ! ily at repair shops and fixed if nec- ''essary. Brakes usually lose their ef ficiency over a period of time. Since brakes lose their power gradually, many drivers do not realize how bad their brakes really are.” The brake-check program is being conducted by the police of Clinton as a part of the nationwide program of the International Association of Chiefs of Police. While the emphasis is on the urgency of having good ! brakes, it is hoped by police officers that the program ycill focus the at tention of all drivers on car conser vation and more careful driving. SPENDING AND LIQUOR BEFORE GENERAL^ASSEMBLY Columia, May 2. — Liquor control and state spending will be argued in the South Carolina legislature this i week, and on the disposition of these! two issues will hinge the sine die adjournment for which the assembly is pointing by Saturdays The house -will have up the ques- | tion of concurrence or non-concur-1 rence in senate amendments -to a! $2,300,000 deficiency appropriations i bill. Revised state liquor controls have 1 beet! set for debate in the senate. If the house agrees to the senate amendments on the supplemental ap propriations bill, legislators feel there is a possibility of adjournment , by Thursday or Friday. Should the house refuse to concur in senate changes, and the senate de cline to retract, the money measure would be dropped into the laps of a free conference that will have carte blanche to rewrite the bill as it sees fit. M its rewrite of the" bill fails to please either house, or includes li quor legislation duplicating that which Governor Ransome J. Wil liams has* once this session vetoecT 1 from the general appropriations bill, I the assemblymen might find another week or two added to their deliber ations. - ' The senate, which has failed to take action on liquor bills at this session, will have before it a house- approved measure to create an alco holic leverage control commission that v®ild rule private wholesale and. refail liquor stores. Pending amendments to the bill would substitute either a state store plan sought by Senator George Warren of Hampton and preferred by the governor, or a series of strin gent regulations for continued state tax commission supervision of the liquor business in South Carolina. tf ' T^'V ■vY Claussen's takes real pride in the fact that, because of new methods, developed through experience gained in over a hundred years of baking history . . . those an noying holes that have seemed to somehow get into all bread, have now been practically eliminated from Claussen’s Bread!
