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.'

'70 Session Reflected
'Election Year' Thinking
BY JIMMY BOYLSTON
Legislative Correspondent
The 1970 session of the South
Carolina Legislature ended last
week with the passage of several
Items of routine local legisla
tion.
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.”
