Highway 301 is one of the most traveled highways on the east ern seaboard, and not far from the border between North and South Carolina, you’ll come to Dillon, S. C., the ‘‘Gateway to the Pee Dee.” This busy, progressive com munity is the heart of a fertile and prosperous agricultural area. Principal crops are cotton and tobacco, although the rich soil is excellent for pastures, as well as wheat, corn and other grain crops. Until recently, Dillon was al most exclusively agricultural in economy, but now industrial de velopment has begun, and the future looks unlimited. Some of the industries include a carpet plant, two veneer plants, and two textile mills. Dillon is a transportation cen ter, being located on the main line of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and the main freight line of the Seaboard Railroad, in addition to the busiest highway route between New York and Florida. It is an imporant trade center, having some 230,000 peo ple within a 30-mile radius. This also assures an adequate indus trial labor supply. Newest transportation devel opment is the completion of the Dillon County Airport, with a 3,000-foot paved, lighted runway. Recently, the Federal Aviation Agency recommended that Dil lon County’s airport be included in a motion picture being made to illustrate how a new airport benefits a community. The Dil lon airport was one of four se lected from across the nation for the 28-minute film. Sister communities of Dillon are Latta and Lake View, and the three form what is some times called the ‘‘Golden Tri angle.” The warm, friendly peo ple of this Dillon County area are enthusiastic and progres sive, and they have bright plans for the future. The tourist indus try is growing all the time, and residents of these three com munities enjoy welcoming visi tors, whether from out of the state, or Just from a neighboring county. Probably one of the most un usual and novel spots on the whole eastern seaboanl is about 7 miles north of Dillon on U. S. Highway 301. It’s called South of the Border, S. C„ so named because of its location just below the North Carolina state line. Although this unique attraction is actually a motel, restaurant, gift shop, par 3 golf course, and amusement park practically un der one roof, it is called a town, and has its own U. S. Post office to prove R. You'll want to stop some time, If only to observe the colorful, almost ‘‘mardj gras” atmosphere. A road sign just after you have passed South of the Border reads, “Back Up, Amigo, you missed it!!” The friendly folks of County look forward to you next time you’re over la the northeastern section of the state. For further information, contact the Dillon County Chans- ber of Commerce at the Tobacco Land Hotel in Dillon.

I Will Work to Promote the Following Program: 1— Upgrade our educational system to the level nec essary to meet the demands of our modem day. a. Adequate classroom facilities staffed with qual ified teachers. b. Increase the State Aid to teachers to the level of our neighboring states. 2— -To increase Laurens County teachers’ pay to equal that of our neighboring counties. 3— Blake adequate funds available to the County Su pervisor, making it possible to keep our county roads in a better state of repair, insuring safer travel for school buses routed over these areas. 4— Will protect and preserve the wildlife and game resources of Laurens County, preserving our game and wildlife for the enjoyment of the hunters of Laarens County. Never will I extend the hunting season in this county when all of the surrounding counties’ aesaona are closed and allow hunters from neighboring counties to come into our coun ty and slaughter our game and wildlife. 5— Better and more adequate Mental Health facili ties, giving my full support at all times to the needs of Whitten Village, the State Hospital and Pinehnd. 6— Adequate Nursing Home facilities to care for the aged and disabled of our county. 7— Cooperation with the municipalities and the com munities throughout the county for city and com munity improvement. 8— To create Rural Fire Districts with voluntary fire departments, equipped with fire trucks. 9— To create a County 1 'Water Study Committee for the purpose of beginning a study of our water resources, and presenting plans and recommenda tions for financing to make adequate water sup plies available throughout the county for future industrial development. This, of course, would be the first step in long range planning to establish water supplies to meet the needs of the future. This is s must.
