Check Your Auto Sticker Magistrate Charles (Buddy) Oakley issued a reminder this week that vehicle owners and service station attendants should check the expiration date on their inspection sticker. Mr. Oakley said, “I'm aver aging about 20 cases per week against people whose vehicle inspection sticker has expired We hate to see folks fined for something which can easily be avoided. “The purpose of the vehicle inspection law is to get unsafe vehicles off our highways and we have to uphold the law. We urge vehicle owners to check their inspectionstickers. A hole is punched in the expiration month. We also urge that service station attendants check the stickers while cleaning wind shields and remind the driver of the expiration date.' * * * BELL ST.

The session was a short one- only 66 days—and was in mark ed contrast to the 1969 session which did not end until July 17. This is an election year and the legislature sought, for the most part, not to “rock the boat” and to maintain an atmosphere of peace and calm. On a few occasions, however, the boat received quite a jolt. These oc casions included the unsuccess ful attempt to increase legis lator’s pay and successful ef forts to set up an ethics com mittee. The legislature balked at all efforts to increase taxes. Gov. Robert E. McNair, in hisstate- of-the-state address, had call ed for a one cent gasoline tax hike. The legislature sounded an emphatic no to the request. Rep. David Taylor and Sen. John Long were among those opposing all efforts to raise taxes this year. Underlining his opposition to a tax increase Sen. Long said, “The legislature should find some means to operate the government within the frame work of the existing funds and should not enact any new taxes.” The General Assembly did pass several pieces of legis lation called for by Gov. Mc Nair in his state-of-the-state speech. The governor had asked for legislation which would re vamp the S. C. Pollution Con trol Authority and the mea sure was approved by the leg islature. Rep. Culbertson and Rep. Taylor both supported the bill in the House. The Laurens House dele gation of Culbertson and Tay lor supported the controversial measure to set up an ethics committee for the House. “I feel that it is in the public interest that we divulge income from state agencies or any com pany that would produce a con flict of interest, ” said Rep. Tay lor in support of the measure. Both the Senate and House passed bills to establish an Ethics Committee for the re spective bodies. Long said he felt the measure was a step in the right direction. “The best committee to watch over legislative ethics, how ever, is the general public back home,” Long added. Sen. Ro bert C. Lake declined to com ment on the measure. The other measure causing a considerable amount of oratory in the House and Senate dealt with making Winthrop Col lege coeducational. Rep. Taylor and Rep. Culbertson opposedef- forts to allow males to attend the all-female institution. The House--after much de bate and filibustering--adopt- ed a compromise version of the bill which would have allowed males to attend the college through 1973, however the measure did in the Senate. Eighteen years olds found lit tle support in the Laurens House delegation and liquor received even less support. The two is sues--both defeated--dealt with lowering the voting age to 18 in South Carolina and allowing li quor to be sold in one tenth pint bottles. The issue of pollution control has been the subject of much debate throughout the state in recent months. The controversy was sparked after a German- based industry (BASF) announc ed plans to build a $100 million chemical plant at Port Victoria near Beaufort. On the subject of pollu tion control Sen. Long said the state needed stronger pollution control laws. He cautioned, however, that the laws should be flexible “so that we do not discourage future industry.” Sen. Robert Lake of Whit mire, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, was in strumental in gaining Senate passage of two bills which pro vide for closer regulation of the passing of bad checks. As for local legislation, the supply bill for Laurens county included funds for two additional sheriffs deputies. The most significant piece of local legislation was a bill which authorized a County Council form of government for the County. The future looks dim for for tune tellers in Laurens County. A bill was passed by the House and Senate which makes the psychic practice unlawful. “In retrospect, I doubt ifhis- tory wiU record this as having been an outstanding legislative session,” said Rep. Culbertson. “There was too much foot drag ging.” r^, OSES HAIMS wsmta 'dSemceforfourfbodDi AJAX CLEANSER 14-OZ. CAN 2 For ALL FLAVORS JELLO 3-OZ. PKG. 10c P. P. HAMBURGER DILL SLICES 16-OZ.
