\ Paire Six THE CLINTON CHRONICLE JiA Thursday, July 17, 1952 DISREGARDING STOP SIGNALS DEADLY Gov. Stevenson Says 'No!' For Last Time That He Run Camp Riley, Minn., July 13.—Gov. Adlaie E. Stevenson of Illinois wise cracked tonight “I would shoot my self” if drafted for the Democratic presidential nomination. ‘‘I have been trying to slam the door for the past five months” on the !*"4AN D 'home presidency, he said at a news confer ence preceding his review of Illinois National Guardsmen in training here. 6'For the last time, I am not going to run for the Democratic presiden tial nomination,” he said. ‘‘I’m not interested in the job.” Stevenson’s statement disavowing presidential ambitions was the strongest he has made since his name was first mentioned as a dark horse possibility. “I’ve made my bed, and I’m going to sleep in it,” Stevenson said, refer- ing to his decision to seek re-elec tion as governor of Illinois. He said he had an obligation to the people of Illinois to run for governor again. And further, he said, _there isn’t enough time to groom another Democratic gubernatorial candidate. Later, when he addressed more than 9,000 troops of the 33rd Illinois National Guard Division, Stevenson invited them to act as honor guard et the “forthcoming governor’s inaug uration.” FOR CHILIS S FIVER O DUE TO MALARIA ^ ££££££ made with ODD QUININE MAKES A Pitcher FuN: BUY 6 PKGS. . . SAVE IF YOU DON’T READ THE CHRONICLE YOU DON’T GET THE NEWS SAY: ‘T SAW IT IN THE CHRONICLE” THANK YOU Fifty-five fatal accidents occurred in South Carolina last year when motorists disregarded stop-and-go lights, stop signs, and warning signs and lights, studies of the state highway department indicate. Motorists who break the law by paying no attention to stop signs and lights arc asking for tragedy," Chief Commissioner Claude R. McMillan of the highway department said. “A wreck involving a car that has run through a stop sign or light is not usually a ‘fender brushing' affair.” he added. "Nine hundred and fifty- one wrecks last year resulted from violations of laws regarding these lights and signals. Fifty-five people were killed and 255 injured. High figures like that should be proof enough of the seriousness of these care less errors. "Drivers should always remember the safe driving rule applicable to stop signs and signals—‘Don't Stop Sometimes — Stop Everytime’,” the chief commissioner concluded. To pick out quality celery, select stalks of medium length and thick stems free from damage. The exte rior should be smooth with fresh looking leaves. Limp or stringy stalks with dry brown tops should be avoided. Good cauliflower has a creamy white color. It’s clean, feels heavy and is firm. Outer leaves should be fresh and green. Avoid those with dark spots or yellowed leaves, as this indicates age. •* Fresh, fine cabbage has no dis colored veins/and i^Fell „tximmed- Lift to test for heaviness. It should feel heavier than it looks. , _ Cracked or water-soaked carrots will not give you the most for your money; neither will those which have green on top of the carrot. The color should be a bright, fresh orange, and the skin smooth, firm and clean. If-fresh mushrooms exposed too long to strong light, they will lose weight and wither. Brown mushrooms are more flavorful than white ones. Green onions at their best are tender and crisp with fresh green tops. Avoid those- with damaged tups or ricks as these indicate age. There are many different kinds of okra. Some are two inches long while others are four. Some are green, others are whitish green. Some are smooth, and others are grooved. All should have fresh pods that snap easily. A jood example of the growing industrialization and economic progress of the South is this new DuPont synthetic fiber plant at Camden, South Carolina. i As Washington Sees It... THE NATIONAL SCENE Specfal To TheTTfironicle. Washington, July 9.—This col umn has information that Govern or Stevenson will accept the Demo cratic nomination ... that the only thing which has been holding back an unqualified answer is his health . . . that he has undergone an ope ration for kidney stones and is now promised good health . . . that he is the choice of a large majority of Democratic leaders. Upcoming as a strong choice is Averell Harri- man, the New Deal-Fair Dealer, who polled a 4 to 1 vote against Senator Kefauver in the Democrat-' ic primary in Washington. As a result Senator ' Kefauver. who has been knocking down straw men in a score of primaries is caught up short, and the record is that where he has run up against real flesh-^nd^kxxi presidential candidates :> has lost three out of four: Russell beat him in Florida: Harriman beat him ih the District of Columbia, and he won over Sen Kerr in Nebraska, but came up short on delegates from that state. The likeable and sincere Tennes seean thus is relegated to at least thrid place in the Democratic free- for-all at Chicago starting July 2\, and it is likely that by the end of the second ballot most of his dele gate strength will have melted away. What will happen to civil rights! in the platforms of the two con ventions? In 1948 the Republicans advocated abolition of poll tax, de clared lor right of eoual opportun ity to work: favored enactment and enforcement of federal legisla tion necessary to maintain that right. The Democrats in 1948 called upon Congress for support of full and equal political participation in elections and. on FEPC, endorsed right to equal opportunity of em- 1 ployment. But since that time, 1 neither party took any defifiith ac- 1 tion. A majority of both parties in j the house voted 273 to 116 to abol-? ish the poll tax as a requisite of i voting in 1949, but the senate took I no action. In 1950, a poll tax rider on the oleo bill was tabled 59 to 17, i the vote being 44 Democrats and 15 Republicans for tabling and 17 1 Republicans against. In 1951 and 1952 no action of any kind was tak- 1 en despite repeated messages by the President asking for action. On FEPC both Republicans and Democrats overwhelmingly ap proved an FEPC with investigating : and recommending powers only in the house, and the senate took no: action after two failures to invoke! cloiture on a motion to take up the: FEPC bill. In 1951 and 1952 there 1 was no action at all. So both par-| ties failed to uphold their platform ; planks on the poll tax as a voting necessity and FEPC to guarantee .civil rights to minorities. * • • This year millions of citizens will watch both national conventions on television. As a matter of fact, the conventions and political parties are not provided for by the Consti tution and federal election laws i supervise them only to extent of checking money spent. Each party makes its own conven item rules. In electing delegates, for instance, the Democratic party gives each state two votes for each of its senators and representatives and a bonus of four votes if the state went Demo cratic in 1948. At the Democratic convention there will be more del-j egates than votes, because some deiegat^-vvill--trav^'''CTTry'{rhe-l vote. The Republicans give four votes j to each state, plus six if the state went Republican in 1948, plus one vote for each congressional district casting 1.000 GOP votes in 1948, and a bonus of one more for 10,000 Republican votes. There are no half-vote delegates. So Republicans gpt 1.206 votes with 604 necessary for nomination. <• RECIPE OF THE WEEK Toasted Oat Cookies *2 cup shortening. } > cup granulated sugar. ’2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed. 2 eggs, unbeaten. salt.

TELEPHONE growth is a striking ex ample of progress in today’s amazing South. During the 10 years from 1940 to 1950, the ’ South’s growth in telephones was more than twelve times its growth in population. In the first 6 months of 1952 alone, we added 149,250 new telephones. Southern Bell Tele phone and Telegraph Company. SOUTHERN PROGRESS AND TELEPHONE PROGRESS GO HAND IN HAND The Individual If individuality ever favored any people it was the early Americans One great economist once said j that the American might be ’a crank or eqcentric but individual ly it was a ‘-mark of American tol erance. The more responsibility placed upon the shoulders of the individual the better the results for democracy. When the respon sibility is placed in the hands of boards, committees or bureaucrats the more regimented and more bunglesome the government be comes. The individual develops a self- reliance that cannot be develop ed under State regulation and con trolled life. The person who is an individualist only asks for an op portunity. The person who wishes to be made secure whether he earns or does not earn cannot thrive well in a society where success depends upon initiative and energy. It does not take a master mind to see that individualism is pass ing away along with democracy. If one takes the label of a liberal he must go on with that class no matter what the future may be. If one labels himself a conservative he must display his tag even though many of his tenets may have been exploded and burned and destroyed decades ago. This is not an age of individual ism for we are living in a society where people are doing things be cause others are doing the same things. Our age is traveling in masses on bloc tickets.
