Elwyn Sturgeon, in Greenville, going es pecially for the baptism of her self-destruction on the highways. But that task is aggravated by hosts of speeding non-residents, mostly Northerners, who J 'Zip through the state en route to or from Florida. These transients (who would be most welcome if they only wojild slow down) account for a high per centage of all the fatal accidents oc cur ing in the state. Last yea:, 23 per cent of the vehicles involved in fatal aecidents\in South Carolina were registered from out of the state. An even greater percentage of the driv ers involved in fatal accidents (29 per tent) were from out of the state. Cdmmissioner McMillan attributes this fo a combination of physical and«i psychological factors. South Carolina’s sweeping highways, rated among the best in the nation, prove all-too-inviting for the Norhtern mo torists who have been pent up in the urban confines of the industrialized and heavily populated East. Down South, they find long stretches of superb highways, with relatively little traffic flow and un familiar vistas of “the wide open spaces.’’ The natural result (and this reaction comes from the lips of the motorists themselves) is to “open her up.” Death sometimes follows.

O N FRIDAY, May 8. it was my distinct honor to make , an address on the occasion of the 77th Annual Celebration of the Rivers’ Bridge Confeder ate Memorial Association in Bamberg County. In preparing for that engagement, it gave me the opportunity to reflect upon oism the deeds of valor and heroi lor and and the unconquerable faith of our Southern forces. All too often, we in thia hoar of plenty and progress forget the struggle and sacriftcas of our forefathers in preserving for ua the heritage that is ours today. Too frequently we treat ‘ ‘ ’U a our American way of life God-given bequest which will survive regardless of the apathy and unconcern of our citizens. It would be well if each one of us were to realize that the bless ings of “life, liberty and the mrsuit of happiness” can be f n ost. They can be lost by a com placent and apathetic people I Realizing such, we would be im bued with the courage, faith and patriotism of our forefathers, and we would accept our respon sibilities of citizenship.
