As the time for the Lions Club Carnival nears—Friday and Satur day, March 28 and 29—plans for the event are beginning to take shape. Duties have been assigned the va rious committees working under the general chairmanship of W. S. (Shorty) Horne. ~ Construction of booths will take place next week and everything will be in readiness for the opening night. The event will take place at the armory on South Broad Street. A boat, motor, and trailer have been secured as the main prize to be given away on Saturday night as the climax of the carnival. Other prizes, including two TV sets and two bicycles also will be given as prizes. Men, women, and children will find something to appeal to them, club officials state, and attractions in the booths will afford two eve nings of fun and profit. The presen tation promises fun for all—and eats too! Net proceeds of the carnival will be used for the club's charity fund.

C. House Rejects Move To Improve Clinton-Laurens Road in Policy Statement J. W. Hamilton, Jr. Named Director Of Diamond Council Opposes Precedent In Voting Down Bill The House of Representatives last week rejected a Laurens County ef fort to force the Highway Depart ment to improve the stretch of road between Clinton and Laurens. The Laurens delegation had pro posed a bill which would have re-' quired the Highway Department to improve, widen, and if necessary, relocate U S 76 between the two Laurens County communities. The measure got a majority favorable report from the House Committee on Education and Public Works but encountered stiff opposition when it reached the floor of the House for debate. Opponents of the bill acknowledg ed the need tor straightening and improving the Laurens-Clinton high way. but cited other highways in the state which likewise warrant im provement Rep Richard E Mc Nair. of Allendale, pointed to the likelihood that similar bills would be introduced for other areas if the legislature set a precedent for tell ing the Highway Department when and where to build roads John W. Hamilton, Jr., of Colum bia, vice-president of Hamilton’s, Inc., statewide retail jewelry firm. IF YOU DON T READ THE CHRONICLE ' YOU DON'T GET THE NEWS Phone 74 He said that decision was an ad ministrative matter which should be left to the Highway Commission rather than to the legislature. Reps Charles G. Garrett, Frank Eppes, and Preston S. Marchant, all of Greenville, opposed enacting legislation directing the Highway Department to build particular roads They suggested that Laurens County might use its own funds for the purpose if the need were great enough. Meanwhile, Chief Highway Com missioner Claude R. McMillan said that the Laurens-Clinton link of U. S 76 probably would be adequate to handle the traffic remaining after completion of the new, divided high way between Columbia and Green ville That limited access highway now is under construction and is scheduled for completion by the fall of 1959 If the old road still has a heavy traffic count despite diversion, of through traffic to the new route. Chief McMillan said then it will be improved as necessary. He said all such existing highways would be improved to meet traffic conditions regardless of the construction of new interstate or other throughways. The Laurens legislators who spon sored the bill. Reps. Paul B. Cul bertson. T. David Sloan. Jr., and| William C. Dobbins, are concerned | over the possibility that the road 1 may beepme even more congested and unsafe with the construction of a glass manufacturer's plant near by Standard Plywoods Buys Cincinnati Floor Mfg.
