/ i ) t ~.V‘' ■ J * Thursday, April 9, 1953 $400,000 Bond Issue Now Assured For Blacktopping Roads Laurens, April 9. — Senator R. T. Wilson has announced he would in troduce a hill in the senate this week calling for a bond issue of $400,000 to be sold over a period of two years for the purpose of improving and 'constructing roads in Laurens coun ty. The bill, he said, already has the formal approval of the county’s low er house members, which means that its passage will be only a routine matter. The road improvement program, he said, was in line with his plat form stated on the stump that he would seek to blacktop all school bus and rural route roads in the county as well as entrances to churches. He had found by consulting with the su pervisor, he said, that approximately 75 to 80 miles of such roads still re main in the county and that the bond issue would provide enough money to do the job with probably enough left to repaint the court house. The senator said that he hoped ■enough money would be left also to provide toilet facilities for colored people in the building and also to improve the toilets already provid ed for the whites. Of the total issue, $200,000 would be sold this year and $200,000 next year at a rate not exceeding three and one-half per cent interest. The county board of commissioners is au thorized to dispose of the bonds at public or private sale, in blocks as the board may deem advisable or necessary except that the second year bonds shall be issued only upon the approval of a majority of the legislative delegation including the senator. The specified purpose of the bill is for providing funds “to repair Lau rens county court house, to purchase road machinery, to repair and con- THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Pasre Srren the church last Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock.

Parents who un derstand the growth, stresses, needs and changes of this age can do much to help. Many young girls are eager to learn what to do for themselves on trying days. The herbs in Scalf’s Indian River Medi cine have • been used for many years by women of various ages and recommended to other women. For example, Miss Lola Trent, Sneedville, Tenn., writes: “For seven years, that is ever since I grew into womanhood, I had suffered on certain days from se vere pains. I tried several medi cines recommended for such trou bles, with no results. My appetite was very weak, too, and as a result I ate so little I felt weak and tired, and lost weight. My mother told me how my grandmother used to make teas for my mother when she was a girl, using some of the same herbs as contained in Scalf’s Indian River Medicine, and how these teas gave her relief from pains which seemed like the pains I was suffer ing. I was in bed sick when my father brought me a bottle of Scalf’s Indian Rive!’ Medicine. By the time I had taken two bottles I noticed my suffering had stopped to some extent, then I took three more bottles to make sure Scalf’s Indian River Medicine was really my friend. “I’m happy to say that Scalf’s In dian River Medicine has helped me more than all other medicines I have tried. Scalf’s Indian River Medicine surely is a wonderful ap petizer, too. I eat heartily now, feel great, and I’m even putting on needed weight. I trust my state ment may be helpful to other wom en suffering as I was.” The first bottle of Scalfs Indian River Medicine must satisfy or your money back. On sale at all drug stores.

It isn’t easy for one man to deceive another who is sitting across the table conferring with him. He’ll make mistakes—and members of his Cabinet will too— but they will be npstakes of the head, and not of the heart.” Of the Department of Agricul ture — “Frankly, we inherited a mess—we were drifting into a sit uation that is very dangerous. . . . But I belive we can find a way out which will entail less govern ment regulation and control and at less cost to the taxpayers in the form of subsidies.” Of his programs—“We are faced COMEDY- CARTOON, — if -- ' ‘ ♦> Friday-Saturday April 10-11.11 HURRICANE 1 SMITH (Technicolor) John Ireland, Yvonne DeCarlo :: SHORT - CARTOON .— Sunday-.Mondav April 12-13 $ THE BAD AND j| THE BEAUTIFUL | Kirk Douglas, Lana Turner, Dick Powell CARTOON ■ ’*r~’ 1 lv.
