Reckless Driving Biggest Factor In April's 50 Fatalities Fifty persons met violent deaths as a result of traffic acci dents on South Carolina high ways during April. The State Highway Depart ment’s one-sentence description of each of the 40 fatal accidents points out graphically that, in every case, the death was need less, usually coming as a result of carelessness and recklessness on the part of someone involved. Excessive speed was mentioned in 13 of the 40 one-sentence ex planations of the tragedies. A car, traveling at a high rate of speed, on the wrong side of the road, snuffed out the lives of five persons in a single accident.

His decision to leave recalled that of William Blankenship, a Bronx research chemist, who re cently moved back to what he called the “clean dirt” of Penn sylvania after his 15-year-old son was killed in a juvenile fracas. Study Shows Food Largest Expense Hem Food takes the largest bite.. Out of the average dollar spent ftr family living costs. In a recent study made in York County, South Carolina, agricultural ex periment station, hohne econo mists found that food costs aver age $750 per family for farm families and $1,028 per year for non-farm families. The farm families also reported more home-produced food than did non-farm families. Elizabeth Watson, head of the station’s home economics re search department, says that second to food with the average family was the expense of an au tomobile for family use. Farm families contacted in the study reported that they spent an aver age of $419 for automobile ex pense and non-farm families re ported $342 for auto expense. Eighty-six per cent of the farm families and 75 per cent of the non-farm families owned a car. The 206 families interviewed were a cross section of rural white families that had at least one Aild under 16 years of age. Increasing industrialization with in the state undoubtedly has an effect on rural family living, ac cording to this study. Sixty per cent of the rural families inter viewed were living on farms, but only 8 per cent of the 208 families received more income from farm than non4ann sourc es. The study was made to deter mine family living expenditures so that agricultural and home economics workers can advise families more efficiently with their home and money manage ment problems.

Demos Formally Propose Ouster Of loyalty Oath' Washington, June 13—'Demo cratic leaders formally recom- tinoal convention abandon mended today tha ttheir 1956 na- controversial “loyalty oath” that ingnited an angry North-South party split in 1952. Laying groundwork for the party conclave in Chicago next year, they also bowed to TV re quirements by proposing a speed-up in the time-consuming process of polling state delega tions. Simultaneously, they tried to cut down on the number of “acrimonious” credentials con tests. Rutes Drafted The proposed “rules and proce dures” for the 1956 Democratic convention were drafted by an 82-member advisory committee. They were sent to all members of the Democratic National Com mittee by Chairman Paul M. Butler. Butler recommended the members adopt the proposals at a committee meeting next fall. The action still would be sub ject to approval of the 1956 con vention but party leaders seemed confident it would be acceptable. The davisory committee which adopted the “loyalty oath” com- ’ promise unanimously, was head- • ed by former Democratic Chair man Stephen A. Mitchell. Among its members were two big antag onists in the 1952 fight—former Gov. John S. Battle of Virginia and Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota. Adopt Resolution Instead of a loyalty oath, the advisory group adopted a three- point resolution setting forth the responsibility of State organiza tions in naming convention dele gates. It provides for the ouster of national committee members who boft the party ticket. This would have no effect on 1952 de fectors. Convention delegates, after be ing certified by state organiza tions, would be expected to par ticipate in “good faith” in con vention affairs. No further as surances would be required un less delegates were challengde.
