Special to The Chronicle.
Columbia, April 12.—School trans-
•*» w
portation statistics for South Caro
lina for the 1047-48 school year were
printed in the Senate Journal last
week on the motion of Senator
George McKown of Cherokee coun
ty. The statistics show that the daily
average attendance in ^aurens coun
ty last year was 8,074 pupils, of
which 1,040 were transported lo and
from school. Miles traveled per day
in transporting pupils in the county
are given as 1,081. Expenditures for
Laurens county school transporta
tion came to $50,826 last year, with
the state saying $62,056 for trans
portation in the county, according to
the figures.
I The cost of transportation for the
state as a whole is given as $2,644,-
020 during the 1047-48 school year,
with the state paying $2,387,229. The
average daily attendance on a state
wide basis was 375,250 pupils, and
100,426 of these pupils were given
transportation. Miles traveled per
day are estimated as 75,845 miles.
The senate finance committee ver
sion of the state appropriations bill
for 1040-50 lists $0,400,000 for trans
portation, the same figure that was
recommended by the budget com
mission and approved by the house
of representatives. The slate depart
ment of education requested $3,000,-
000 for transportation, as well as
$4,160 for a transportation auper-
v»sor and $2,660 for a stenographer.
Good Easter Business
Seen for Merchants
New York, April 6. — Department
stores expect Easter business this
year will equal last year’s, judging
from sales to date. Business Week
reports.
March's sales were in line with
expectations, and dollar volume for
the month will probably be about
six per cent lower than that of last
March. This is explained by the fact
that Easter came early last year
(March 24) while this year it comes
on April 17. Much of the Easter bus
iness, therefore, will be retordecT in
April.
The magazine says stores expect
btfying will hit its peak a lot nearer
the Easter deadline this year than
last. This last-minute buying should
be reflected in the sales picture for
April.
The article warns against misirt-
terpretation of spectacular sales tig-1
ures that might be published in the
netx few weeks. If the gains over a
year ago aren’t big, it will mean that
department store sales are really in
a slump this season.
“Stores’ dollar volume should au
tomatically rack up sharp percent
age gains over >1048 levels in the last
week of April,” Business Week ex
plains. “For one thing, 1949 sales
will be rising to their Easter crest,
whereas sales in the same period of
1948 w’ere receding from it. More
over, the very fact that buyers are
leisurely in their Easter buying 'now,
probably means the last week will
show an abnormally large gain.”

To the People
This is my way of saying I hove accepted a position as
solicitor for ROYAL CLEANERS, INC., covering the City of
Clinton.
I am sure the people of Clinton realize that ROYAL
CLEANERS has been recognized as a modern, progressive
leader in the cleaning industry of South Carolina for the
past several years. Plant owners all over the State, and even
North Carolina and Georgia, have copied RoyaTs modern
front and latest equipment and work flow methods. I find
they have special machines to take care of each cleaning
and finishing job. They have had many years of experience
in handling all kinds of cleaning problems. There are no hit
or miss methods tolerated in this plant. Each person is thor
oughly trained for his particular job. Every garment is closely
checked by a trained inspector for spots, pant cuffs tacked,
buttons replaced, and to see that each garment is finished to
look new again. ,
Starting April 18, I will begin calling on you and ask that
yOu let me serve your cleaning needs. I promise to give you
prompt, courteous and dependable service. Telephone 77,
Thank you.
