Cally Gault said, 'Those who oppose this route feel that our voices aren't being heard.’ He also said, "We have asked for facts and figures about just how much traffic will use this beltline, where it will come from and where it will go. We haven’t been given any concrete information about exactly what this beltline will do.’ Collie Anderson, a member of the Planning Commission, said, ’The Planning Commis sion is interested only in the betterment of Clinton... I’ll gladly swap some property that is close in and will be on this road...Something’s got to be done about downtown Clinton...When has a good road hurt anybody?’ Mr. Anderson also said, “When this road was requested, the Planning Commission had no idea who would be affected. We didn’t say where it should go. We Just knew we needed the road.’ Ed King commented, *We want a beltline road too, but we want another route.’ Mr. Cobb was asked, “Who will give the final order as to where the route will be?’ He replied, "The State Highway Commission.’ Reese Young suggested an alternate route which would generally follow an existing road from behind Lydia Mill to Young’s Crossroads Store and on down Hurricane Church road. The Highway officials took the proposal and said they would study it but that pre liminary studies indicate that the Highway Department’s pro posal would be used by 1,700 cars per day where the route proposed by Mr. Young would handle 500 cars per day. How ever, Mr. Cobb said survey work would cease while the alternate route is studied or to see if a compromise can be worked out. George Cornelson, a member of the Planning Commission, said, ’This is only one quad rant of a beltline which will go all the way around the city. We (members of the Planning Commission) can’t plan a route. We had to call in experts from the Highway Department who have no local axes to grind. And this is what they re commended..* IN RESTORATIVE WORKSHOP — Shown at a Restorative Nursinp Workshop held last week at Bailey Memorial Hospital are. left to right: Miss May Reed, consultant and physical thera- pist for the S.C.

House of Representatives will have a public speaking to night, Oct 22, at Bailey Ele mentary School on Elizabeth St. Tht- program will start at 8 p.m. The GOP candidates also will speak Mood:/ light, Oct'bee 25, La the courtroom of the Laurens County Courthouse. The Laurens meeting will start at 7 p.m., according to W. R. Garret, county GOP chairman. 9 a.m. meeting at Douglas House un the Presbyterian College campus where he participated in an informal question and answer session with student leaders of the college. He said that he still favor ed a suggestion he made when his candidacy was announced last spring--that of having a youth advisery group that would work with the executive branch of the government on a periodic basis. Ttds group, consisting of young people up to 25 years of age and representative of all areas of the state, would meet with the governor and lieu tenant-governor and express views on how they could help their state and improve op portunities for young people. “The executive branch could also explain to the young peo ple what the government is try ing to do and given them new ideas and prevent resentment and unrest," Henderson con tinued. On the subject of education Mender si >n said that he favored restructure of the whole educa tion system to meet the qualify standards of uther states. “We need to be sure that the 40 percent of our high school students who go to college are better prepared, and the 60 percent who do not go on to college receive voca tional training. We need a modern vocational training program in high schools for those not going to college,’ he said. He also noted that our teach ers are way below the south eastern average in teachers pay and if we are going to have quality education then we must secure qualified teachers and pay them. Henderson pointed out that 50 percent of our young people trained for teachers either leave the state for higher pay in neighboring areas or else don’t go into the profession. In addition to that there are 3,300 trained teachers who leave the profession every year for the lack of incentive. In answer to a question from one of the students about the textile import problem, he said that "From 1962 to 1968 fo reign imports increased 300 percent and nothing was done about it by either of the two presidents or Congress. Now we have a crucial import bill which if passed would give great relief to South Carolina but the Democratic-controlled Congress has so far refused to act upon it." Later asked how a politi cian feels about facing young college students these days, he said that “They are smart and you have to be honest with them. This is the age of questioning and the young people keep us on our toes and keep us growing.* After visiting in the area Henderson had lunch at the Laurens Dining Club with local GOP candidates and Republican workers who gathered together for a dutch luncheon.
