Warns Furoos .jno Are Dangerous Carbon monoxide gas produced by motor vehicle engines and ex pelled through vehicle exhaust systems is a colorless, odorless, tasteless substance capable of causing serious illness or death if breathed, and should be guard ed against by all motor vehicle operators, the State Highway De partment warns. Many traffic accidents have re sulted from carbon monoxide poi soning, and at least one fatal ac cident investigated recently by Highway Deaprtment personnel was attributed to that cause. * ANNOUNCING A NEW SERVICE * )f RAIN GUTTERS and DOWNPIPES LEAKING? * * ROTTED or RUSTED OUT? * * BUILDING A NEW HOME? * ^ Do your home the modem, permanent way.

Phone 833-0570 KING CONSTRUCTION CO. INSTALLATION MAN NEEDED Contrary to popular belief, summertime operation of ve hicles with windows open does not necessarily reduce the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning. Open windows tend to create a vacuum inside moving vehicles, and if there are holes in the floor ^ boards, exhaust fumes can be drawn into the passenger com- ^ partments of vehicles. The same ^ general principal can apply to yL. automobiles being operated with ^ trunk lids open. Fumes from the exhaust can be drawn through the ^ trunk into the passenger com- ^ partment, where they are inhaled by the driver and passengers. Because of the increase in the ^ number of vehicles now being ^ equipped with air conditioning, there is the additional danger of .fumes seeping into closed ve- hides if floor boards and exhaust yL, systems are not in proper con- ^ dition. These items should be checked frequently to make cer- ^ tain they are free of leaks. yL. Symptons of carbon monoxide ^ poisoning include headaches and drowsiness, although a person ^ may be overcome by the gas with- ^ out exhibiting any symptons at all. Victims in the advanced ^ stages of poisoning usually have a ^flushed appearance and their breathing becomes labored. Mo- ^ torists developing any of these ^symptons should stop theirve- ^ hides, get out and walk around in the fresh air. If the symp- ^ tons re-appear, it may be an in- dication that carbon monoxide is ^ being inhaled. * ... 3^ The largest 10-year period of growth in textile employment in South Carolina between 1937 and yL 1967 was the period from 1937 - H to 1947, when the number of tex- 2f> tile workers increased by nearly ^'k'kirkirirkirkirirkiririririririritir
