EVOLUTIONARY CHANGES BUT
NO MIRACLES ARE FORESEEN
DURING THE NEXT TEN YEARS
jytm
The next ten years will bring many
changes-of an evolutionary nature,
but no miracles, says Changing
Times, The Kiplinger- magazine, in
its January issue. The preview of
the times ahead was preparefl in
collaboration with a number of,
W'" . 1 ' i
specialists in particular fields, and
was based on the working assump
tion of no war.
For the country as a whole, says
Changing Times, the decade will be
active and relatively prosperous.

He said "he does not look for any

The hext big development, he said,
should be “the use of high octane

In politics the leftish trend will g
continue, Changing Times predicts. |
The-federal'government will under
take more welfare but will not tack-j
: le some of the elaborate programs
now’ proposed. The extreme left will
not prevail, for the great middle,
iclass will act as a balancing force,!
and the numbers in the middle class g
will increase. It is reasonable to sup- *.t
pose that some, time during the dec- ! g
ade, says the magazine, thefe will be
a turn to the more conservative Re- g
publican party. If so. this will re-
■present a pause, not a reactionary g
right swing. -

Here are some other developments
forseen by Changing Times:
More smaller and middle-sized
houses, more one story. Big win-
clows, fireplaces, dining areas. Suilt-
in storage units, more storage space.
Household fuels will trend increas
ingly toward gas and oil.
( Housekeeping will get steadily eas
ier with more gadget^, to lighten the,
servantless hoiisewife's burden. The
family grocery (eventually is likely
to be a unit .of a selflsetvice or reg-
ional chain.
Traffic will /become increasingly
Baer but expressways and elevated
ihighways will enablU cities to get,it
under control. _ j
Schools will be a continuing major
headache. Elementary school enroll-,
men will .climb steadily until 1960
High schools will begin to become
overcrowded about 1956. Many new
churches will be built. Smaller cities
will gro\^-ta*iei:_^han the big ones.
The-shift from farm to city will con
tinue but there will be a strong t^end
of city people to the country just be
yond the suburbs. ' |
Atomic power will not be used to
anv great extent in the next ^en
years. It will take at least another
decade for atomic power to’ be in
anything like general use.
For agriculture, almost complete
mechanization by the decade’s end,
with only a few suecialtv crops re-
cfniring hand labor
j There will be better organizatiSn
-piedical care^ Better hospital fa
cilities. More basic medical research.
Cancer will become less of a dread
disease as progress • is made in de
tecting it in early stages, but at pres
ent there .are no assurances of a gen
eral cure.
.Automobiles will-be different but,
not startlingly So. Motors will get
more powerful and t efficient year
by year. The motor will stay in front
though a few custom and experimen
tal models will feature rear-ead. po
wer by 1960.
Geographically the American pat
tern will be changing. South and.
West will keep growing in population ’
and importance. The Northwest and
main parts of the Midwest Will do
| less growing. : , .
They're greater in power—higher in compression - a
standout in styling—dreams to drive-and now there's
a Buick beauty for 1950 to fit practically any budget

Eleven Highway
Accidents Reported
In County for Month
Special to The Chronicle. v
Columbia, Jan 4.—Eleven persons
were injured but none were killed
in the motor vehicle accidents re
ported in Laurens county during the
month of November, according to a
report issued last week by th$ S. C.
State Highway Department. Nine
of the ‘injuries resulted from acci
dents taking place on state highways.
Ten of the 22 highway accidents
occurring' in Laurens county during
the month took place on state high
ways in the county. Six of the 16
accidents in, the county which re
sulted in damage to property took
place on state highways, according
to the report. •’
A tot A of 1,024 highway accidents
took place in South Carolina during
the month. Of the total, 610 occur
red on state highways. Of the 249
persons injuured in the accidents,
263 received injuries from accidents
on state highways, and 26 of the 36
highway deaths reported took place
on state highways.
N o, we just couldn’t hold back the
whole big Buick line for 1950.

Oo maybe you ve already seen some*
1950 Buicks on the highway.
Maybe you’ve noticed the extra “git up
and travel” they have—glimpsed the wide,
curving windshields (one piece in most
models)—noted, approvingly, that the
typical Buick taper is now found in all
Buick fenders.
M ay be you’ve even heard some things...
That there are more than a dozen-and-a-
half models to choose, from. That there
. are three power plants in the Buick line
—all of higher compression, all stepped
up in power.
JIhat all models are big and roomy inside
—some rear seats are better than a_ foot
wider than before!—yet in every instance,
shorter over-all, so easier to handle, park
and garage.
Above all, maybe you’ve heard of
exciting news on price...
That Dynaflow Drive, for instance —
standard on Roadmaster models, op
tional on all others-now costs
20% less than on 1949 models.
