Senators Disagree On
Pollution Control Laws
BY JIMMY BOYLSTON
Sen. John D. Long and Sen.
Robert C. Lake disagree as to the
need for stronger pollution con
trol laws for South Carolina.
The issue of pollution control
has been ttie subject of much de
bate throughout the state in re
cent weeks. The controversy was
sparked after a German-based
industry (BASF) announced plans
to build a SITO million chemical
plant at Port Victoria near Beau
fort.
We need stronger pollution
and contr J laws, however we
must ensure that these laws are
flexible so that we do not dis
courage future industry," Sen
L^ >ng said.
Sen. Lake said he felt the
state s present pollution control
laws are strong enough. He ex
pressed concern that enactment
f new laws aimed at BASF may
drive the industry to another
state.
"We need to make the various
industries adhere to the statutes
already passed with regard to
pollution," Sen. Lake said. He

said he was opposed to a bill
introduced earlier this month by a
R ichland county legislator calling
for a prohibition against certain
waste disposal aspects of the
BASF chemical plant.
The tourism and fishing indus
tries of Beaufort County have
been fighting the proposed plas
tic and dye plant, charging that
pollution from the BASF facili
ties could endanger fish life,
wildlife and swimming in the
area.
The main objections have come
from resort owners on plush Hil
ton Head Island, who fear the pol
lution will wipe out the tourist
trade in the beach area.
There is, however, much sup
port for the plant. More than
7,500 residents of Beaufort and
Jasper counties signed a petition
earlier this year in support "ftlie
BASF chemical plant.

When you buy any Impala Y8 model
during our “400” Sale, here’s how you
can get two popular extras at no extra
charge.
You order your Impala equipped with
a Turbo Hydra-matic transmission, radio,
Comfortilt steering wheel, front and rear
bumper guards and white stripe tires.
Items you’d probably order anyway.
Then we add our big 400-cubic-inch V8
at 265 hp that runs on regular gas, along
with dual exhausts—both at no charge.
(The manufacturer’s suggested retail price
including Federal excise tax for the regular
fuel 400 V8 and dual exhausts is $93.75.)
But that’s only the beginning. Because
your Chevrolet dealer is really anxious
to deal these days.
And the Impala you’re buying, of course,
got to be America’s No. 1 car, because
of all the value features built righ f in.
Features like flush-and-dry rocker panels
that fight rust. Inner fenders to protect
the outer fenders. Long lasting bias belted
ply tires, steel guard beams in every door
for added protection, an acrylic lacquer
finish over its solid Body by Fisher.
All of which contributes to Impala’s
traditionally high resale value, too.
You’re getting America’s No. 1 car
on sale. The car more people buy—year
after year after year.
How can you beat that?
