expected to take the shots which
are given only on written permis
sion of the parents. The dinks

ment in charge, with Dr. Sease
supervising the program. The
children form in an assembly line,
starting with the first graders, get
their permissions checked, left

It is announced that inocula
tions will be given at three in

administered a short lapse after
the first dose, with the third vac

Governor George Bell Tim
merman Mat week affixed his
signature to the bill that will
regulate fishing in Lake Green
wood, Rep. Robert C. Wasson,
secretary of the county delega
tion, has announced.
The bill grew out of efforts on
the part of the Greenwood-New
berry and Laurens county dele
gations after the public had ex
pressed a desire for such a law
in order to rid Lake Greenwood
of rougji fish in order to restore
the waters as a top fishing lake.
The bill provides that “there
shall be a closed season on the
catching of striped bass (rock
fish) in the waters of Lake
Greenwood, S. C. . . .” It also
leaves the season for catching
the bass up to the discretion of
the Wildlife Resources Depart
ment.
It further provides that all
seining and taking of fish other
than by ordinary hook and line
is prohibited from Ferbuary 1st
to July 1st in Lake Greenwood,
Saluda River to the Ware Shoals
Damn; Reedy River to Boyd’s Mill
Dam; Rabon Creek to the high
way bridge between Boyd’s Mill
and the city of Laurens, Turkey
Creek to the highway bridge on
the road between Ware Shoals
and the city of Greenwood. This
may also be left to the discretion
of the department pertaining to
seining.
It also provides that trot lines
or baskets may be used in these
waters for the taking of non
game fish. Each person may use
not more than three trot lines
and-or baskets. A tag must be
attached to each trot line and
basket.
It is also unlawful for any per
son to have in his possession
game fish or fishing tackle capa
ble of catching game fish while
1 fishing trot, lines or baskets in
these waters.
Further information is avail
able from the game wardens.

A point system whereby traffic
violators can lose their operator’s
license is again in effect in South
Carolina, Governor George Bell
Timmerman, Jr., having signed
into a law a bill passed by the
General Assembly at this session.
The law sets up point value
for traffic violations with ac
cumulation of 12 points causing
license revocation for as much as
six months.
In signing the measure, Gov
ernor Timmerman said:
The enactment of the leglisa-
tion providing a point system to
be used against violators in
our state is a step in the right di
rection towards achieving those
safeguards which the motoring
public has every right to expect.
All of us should continue to de
vote our efforts to the decrease
of the traffic toll of human lives
which is claimed annually on our
highways. All of us should be
more concerned with the inno
cent victims of highway trage
dies than with the selfish shining
of the guilty who are caught.
The new law was termed “ex
cellent” by Chief Highway Com
missioner Claude R, McMillan,
who said that the Highway De-
partment would proceed as
quickly as possible to set the new
Driver Improvement plan in full
effect.
Operation of the point system
will be under the direct super
vision of Allen T. “Pot” Brown,
Jr., who was recently made di
rector of the Department’s Traf
fic Law Enforcement division,
which includes the Highway Pa
trol, Mr. McMillan said.
“I have instructed Director
Brown to place operation of the
plan in effect immediately and
to take steps to bring reckless
and violation prone drivers back
under control,” the Chief High
way Commissioner commented.
He observed that since the old
point system went out of opera
tion many drivers had grown
careless and have lapsed back in
to their old habits of disregard
ing the essential rules of safe
driving. He said rigid traffic
law enforcement, together with
the assessing of points for each
conviction under the new act,
should tend to reverse the pres
ent upward trend in accident fa
talities.
Mr. McMillan said an overnight
change in the state’s traffic ac
cident picture could not be ex
pected. It takes a while to instill
good driving practices and' it
also takes time for a careless and
inconsiderate driver to amass
enough points to warrant sus
pension of his license. “We’re
back on the right road, though,’’
he said.
12-Point System
The new point system resem
bles, in many ways, the anginal
system. One of its differences is
the number of points needed for
license suspension. The new sys
tem requires 12 points while the

ber The point values for certain
violations, however, have also
been increased, making little dif
ference in the number of viola
tions required tor a license sus
pension. Another change from
the original system is the inclus
ion of a formula for the decreas
ing and expiration of points. Un
der the new plan points a year
old will be reduced by one-half
value ,and those over two years
old will expire entirely.
The new plan omts violations
for which license suspensions are
mandatory under other laws
(such as drunken driving and
hit and run cases involving death
or injury). The one exception is
reckless driving which is given
six points under the new 12 point
system. A law, already on the
books, states that a motorist, up
on conviction on a reckless driv
ing charge, shall, upon subse
quent conviction on the same
charge, have his driver’s license
suspended. Under the point sys
tem, reck ess driving may be
coupled with other violations
and ultimately end in license
