Using The Layman
(From The State. Aug. 4)
A former mayor of Clinton, H. L. Eichel-
bergvr, has proposed the use by his county
of Laurens an advisory committee of lay
men to counsel with the county*8 legislative
delegation on the business of the county.
What will become of Mr. Eichelberger’s
recommendation we do not know, but we do
know that the current use of this plan by
the city of Columbia holds good prospects.
In his program for Columbia development
in the form of providing public facilities.
Mayor Lester L. Bates is relying wisely ami
heavily on the thought and planning of com
mittees which have been created, and con-
siderable progress is being made on the pro
gram.
County and municipal problems are In
coming larger and larger. Proposals such as
that of Mr. Eichelberger and practices such
as those of Mayor Bates make sense. They
enlist for public affairs talents which other
wise remain unused.

That Extra Thrust
Time, in its issue of July 21, has an in
teresting article on the state of business.
There are good signs—one lieing an increase
in buying by industry for stockpiling pur
poses. However, there is a lielief that inven
tories have about reached their peak, lie-
cause businessmen are trying hard to keep
stock and sales in closer balance than in past
times.
Increased government spending is also .ex
pected to give business a lift. "But,’’ v^ays
Time, “if the 1961 recovery is to lie brisk,
something more is needed. For that extra
thrust, economists are looking hopefully t<i-
ward the free-spending American consum
er.”
In other words, the state of business, and
the state of the economy as a whole, will de
pend to a major extent on retail sales—the
sales made to individuals ami families. Our
superb system of mass production would Ik*
unimportant without an equally sufierb sys
tem of mass distribution to move the goods
into the hands of the people who want them,
will buy them, will consume them and buy
more.
Retailers, for the most obvious of rea
sons, will do their utmost to increase con
sumer buying. Their measure of success will
largely determine the degree of prosperity
we will enjoy. And their best ally in seek
ing increased business is newspafier adver
tising.

The Voice Of Experience
When a man has driven more than 2,000,-
000 miles in 28 years without an accident,
the advice he offers other drivers deserves
to be listened to with respect.
Melvin O. Griffith of Big Spring, Texas,
recently named “Driver of the Year” by the
trucking industry, declares that the first
rule for safe driving is to pay attention to
signs.
“First of all, pay dose attention to your
road signs," he says. “A lot of people don’t
seem to realize that they are there for a
purpose. If the sign says ‘Sharp Curve
Ahead—Slow Down’ do just that.”
In stating that many persons pay too lit
tle attention to signs, the Driver of the Year
calls attention to a failing common to all of
us. Driving the same familiar routes every
<toy, we become so accustomed to seeing the
signs that we often fail to pay attention to
them until we find ourselves in danger of
an accident.
Signs are designed to guide traffic smooth
ly at speeds consistent with safety. If we
follow their directions closely, we get to
where we are going with a minimum of trou
ble, Griffith says. When we ignore them,
sooner or later, we find ourselves inviting an
accident
When we are driving in unfamiliar terri
tory, we realize how important signs really
are. This is particularly true at night, when
we often find ourselves watching our re
flective signs that glow brightly in our head
lights to guide us along our way to warn us
of danger ahead. Too often, unfortunately,
such signs do not exist.
The next time we go for a drive, even on
familiar routes, we’d all do well to keep in
mind that advice offered by the Driver of
the Year: “Pay close attention to your road
signs. They can save your life.”
WHAT TEEN-AGERS ARE BUYING
What teen aKers are buying the most is food
Teen-axcrs are the profit makers for supermar
kets They buy more goods, get their parents to
buy more, and they buy things which are attrac
tively and conveniently pre-packaged and pre
cooked In short, they are highly susceptible to
"impulse buying.” and very responsive to the
forces of advertising, fashions, and fads The
last pace of youthful life, together with the gener
ous allowances which parents today give to their
children, are proving to be a boon to "snack”
shops, ice cream parlors, and confectionery
stores
Next to food, 1 would say that clothing lines
are profiting most from the teen-age group. Young
people like to dress up and look attractive. They
spend considerable money on clothing, at least
until they get married Therefore, the department
stores and chain stores which handle inexpensive

that the principal users are the teen-agers.
Since the newly aroused interest in science edu
cation, school committees are spending more
money on textbooks and equipment This also ap
plies to school buildings and, unfortunately, to
competitive school athletic tournaments. Certain
ly, the large universities have made a great error
in building huge stadiums which put competitive
athletics ahead of studies.
EFFECT UPON INVESTMENTS
As my column is read mostly by small invest
ors, they should try to use their savings to the best
advantage by considering the above facts in con
nection with their investments. The economy
should experience continued husky demand from
teen agers for several years more
However, some industries are not faring so well i
at the hands of teen agers For example, young
investors just entering the market regard railroad
securities as "out of date” A railroad president
attributes the railroad and bus passenger service,
deficits to the fact that "teen agers insist on go-
ing everywhere by automobile " Some railroads
are selling old steam locomotives to museums to
show future generations what they looked like!
