As a service to the voters
of Laurens County, question
naires have been submitted to
the candidates for public of
fice in the June 14 primary
by the Provisional League of
Women Voters of, Laurens
County.
Replies have been received
from all but two of the can
didates and are released
with their permission, to ac
quaint their constituency with
their stands on timely-istues.
The same questionnaire Is
being used statewide to poll
candidates and is being of
fered for the information of
voters by the Leagtie Whose
purpose is “to promote poli
tical responsibility through in
formed and active participa
tion of citizens in govern
ment.”
The following numbered
questions were submitted to
Laurens County candidates
for the State Senate and
House of Representatives:
1. What specific •suggestioDs
have you for the improvement
of education^ In South Caroli
na other than increased teach
ers’ salaries?
2. What measures -would
you advocate for highway sa
fety in South Carolina? - ri
3. In view of the fact that
South Carolina is no longer
a one-par^y state, db yok
think there should be a- gen
eral election revision qf the
present election laws? If so,
what revisions do you sug 1 -
gest? ' ,
4. What, in your .opinion, is
the most pressing governmen
tal problem facing South Ca
rolina today? ... . ..X'
KING D&ON !
Senate T? .
1. Will study the-consultant
report of “Cresap, McCorm
ick and Pagfet.” In favor of
more technical edueatibn cen
ters, more vocational train
ing. In favor of mdre’^ihidr
colleges throughout, the. state;
eliminating political influence
in our state edui&iianal sys
tem. Will vote fqr compulsory
attendance law. Greater fi
nancial support at tefcal level.
2. Strict enforcement of
present highway laws. More
driver education. Remove the
persistent violator from the
highways. Laws for-jaifiitg the
driver who has been convict
ed of driving under the in
fluence more than one time.
3. Yes. A committee should
be appointed from both the
Senate and House for a com
plete revision of our voting
laws. / ' •'
4. Reapportionment, v
HUBERT W. GRAYDON
Senate
1. A broader curriculum, in
cluding technical education
and state junior colleges.
2. Stronger laws to prohib
it driving under the influence
of alcohol with strict law en
forcement.
3. I sincerely feel that I
should study the present laws
more thoroughly before mak
ing my specific recommenda
tions. i
4. The present automobile
liability insurance laws.
Following are the answers
received from six of the eight
candidates. No answers were
received from William C.
Dobbins, candidate for the
Senate, and Paul Brown, can
didate for the House.
THOMAS A. BABB
House
1. I believe that, a State
High School certificate based
upon examinations prepared
by the State Board of Educa
tion for each subject covered
would tend to strengthen edu
cation and bring home to lo
cal schools where these weak
nesses were.
2. The more uniform ad
ministration of justice by our
traffic courts. This would
. mean a continuing educational
^(RXigram for mayors and ma
gistrates as well as the po
lice involved.
3. Minor changes may be
necessary or desirable. A
primary for all parties on
uniform dates, administered
and paid for, at least in part,
by the^ State as a method of
selecting candidates for the
general election.
. 4. The reorganization of
county governments in view of
the change in the makeup of
the Senate decreed by the
courts.
W. PAUL CULBERTSON
House
1. Less political interfer
ence with the Department of
Education. '
2. Require safety belts on
all new automobiles. Stricter
law enforcement.
• 3. Not at this time.
•4. Upgrading eduoational
system. Improving safety, on
highways. Improvement of li
ability insurance laws.
DAVID S. TAYLOR
House
1. Enlargement of technical
education program with par
ticipation by Laurens Coun
ty. State system of junior col
leges.
2. Enforcement of traffic
laws at all levels. Driver edu
cation in schools.. Inspection
of vehicles. Periodic re-exam
ination of drivers.

8. Election laws should be
reviewed from time to time to
meet changing conditions.
4. Bringing our educational
system in line with the needs
of the people.
M. W. ABERCROMBIE
Senate
1. In my opinion we should
have all teacher applications
scored by an advisory hoard,
possibly made up of 4 team
from the universities and col
leges in our state. The estab
lishment of more TEC cen
ters and in the, near future
placing the first two years of
college in our high schools,
so pupils could stay at home
and receive two-year college
education.
2. The absolute speed law
which I supported this year
in the General Assembly will
do much, I feel, in reducing
deaths and our highways.
However, the manufacturer of
autos should be put on notice
and required to manufacture
safer automobiles in the fu
ture. . (
3. I think the date of the
primary should be moved up
to July or August because
there is too wide a gap be
tween the primary and gen
eral election.
4. I believe the reapportion
ment of the Senate is a ser
ious and grave problem.
Tetanus Toxoid
Is Available At
Greenwood Plants
Greenwood Mills employees
including the Joanna plhnts,
will receive protection this
summer against one of the
most deadly diseases thit can
strike a human being . . .
tetanus.
A voluntary program, which
will make the tetanus toxiod
available to all workers, be
gan in plants and the service
and office areas this week.
Employees have been re
minded that a small, pathless
scratch could result- in:.the
severely painful disease that
takes the lives of more than
half of its victims. > '
And the anti-toxin; • which
must be administered after a
scratch occurs, can produce a
reaction. The preventive toi-
oid does not. The program bi-
ing inaugurated by Green
wood Mills has the support bf
the national and state health
programs and the local medi
cal association.
“Immunization is our only
protection,” President J. G.
Self pointed out. “I hope all of
our people will take advan
tage of this opportunity to
protect themselves from the
possibility of tetdnus infec-
tion.” . 4
