B&bson Park, Fla., March 14.—I have had so many letter from read ers, “pro and con", regarding my column in this paper about high .ways—(see January 18, 1952)—that I have collected In this connection, state officials say that ignoring and crossing dodble solid lines is responsible for most of the bad accidents. The real “hogging" is done by us privately owned car drivers who park on streets from which trucks are excluded. Furthermore, this parking by us is so choking the downtown business streets that— if not forbidden—it will severely harm retail trade and depress the some .more facts value of business property. I am ‘ very serious about this and—if which for two rea sons I should pass along to my read ers. First, because I was perhaps un fair to the trucks, and second, be cause I wish to submit a construc tive suggestion to Borer W. Babtoa road “builders. My first job after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a Civil Engineer was to build State Highways. I I s< on learned that the politicians waf.t to spend money on the BLACK TOPS WHICH CAN BE SEEN instead of on the highway foundations WHICH THE VOTERS DO NOT SEE. Then when a road cracks, these politicians blame it on the motor'vehicles. That these politicians are wrong is proven by driving along’ any state roads with cracks or patches. If at. were the-motor vehicles which caused the cracking, then every slab or section would be cracked or patched. The fact that only a few are cracked or patched proves that the foundation was skimped at cer tain points when being built. Let me here add that in 1950 motor ve- ' hides paid about three billion dol lars in taxes. 'Hogging" the Roads the side when you, blow your horn, or if they cross two solid lines painted on the center of a space permitted—would like ,to say a good word for the bus com panies. , .

They say this despite the gen- Senator Brown Asks Democrat Chair In State Barnwell, March 15.—State Sen. Edgar A. Brown of Barnwell, an nounced today his candidacy for chairmanship of the South Caro lina Democratic Party Executive Committee. Brown, a long-time friend of Gov. Byrnes, says he shares the po litical views of - Democratic presi dential nominee Candidate Sen. Richard Russell of Georgia. “ My name will be offered at the coming state convention at Co lumbia April 16,” Brown said at his office here, “for chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee.” The state senator, a party wheel- horse of the last 38 years, has serv ed since 1914 on ~the executive committee, and as its chairman once during thah time. “If elected,” he said, *“it shall be my purpose to strengthen the party organization in the state. I share the political .views of Senator Russell, Governor Byrnes and Sen ator Byrd (D-Va).” NOTICE OF MEETING OF STOCK HOLDERS NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on April 7, 1952, at 11:00 a.m. at the offices of the Clinton Paper Box Co., E.

It is relat ed that when he lay dying, he called one of his disciples to his side and said: “Our calling as art ists is, indeed, a noble one. Still, God will not ask us whether we when our life draws to a close, k^ave left beautiful pictures to pos terity. He will look, rather, to see whether He can still recognize in us His own unspoiled image.’’ The human body is one of the masterpieces of God’s creation. But the body’s beauty is nothing com pared with that which God in fuses into the soul at the moment of conception. It is man’s duty to keep that soul pure and beautiful so that eventually it may be fit to return to the hands of its Creat or. The soul is beautiful because it is made in the image and likeness of God. But sin can blight its beauty in an instant. The soul then ceases to be a joy in the sight of God and becomes instead a thing of cor-1 ruption and ugliness. Yet such is the love and mercy | of God that even the most sin-1 blackened soul- can turn to Him in repentance and become restored to j its original purity. Sin is death to! the soul, but onjy so long as thej sinner refuses To)?heed God's invi tation to turn tp Him in humble; sorrow and submission.

I visualize before many years, large trucks will have ‘‘airtight’’ bodies such as are now used by re frigerator trailers to carry perish able or frozen fpods. The body ‘-©f such future trucks will be made of an alloy which will partially de flect the gravity - waves from the contents of the trucks thus reduc- ing the weight of the cqptents from 30,000 pounds to perhaps 5,- 000 pounds. Such gravity resisting alloys have not yet been discover ed, but some alloys have been found to partially deflect magnetic, heat and light waves.
