MooreAeld, state highway engineer, Tuesday outlined generally to the Columbia Ktwanla club the program cohteniplated under the 165,000,000 bond issue, $10,000,000 of which will be sohhjshortly, says the* olumbia State oi Wednesday. Using Columbia as an example, he took the through highways out of the capital city and cited certain unpaved?Jgts which keep the highways xtylh being completely paved. Ho said that these links if the*present plans materialize and similar connections in which other cities of the state are primarily interested should be completed by the end of the coming year.He sand It was contemplated also ?9 replace, as rapidly as possible antiquated wooden bridges. By buildjypg approximately 20 miles between Orangeburg and the Dorchester county line, route No. 2 will be paved all the way to Charleston. About the same distance will fill in the. gap between Sumter and Flo?y euoe, about 45 miles will complete highway No. 1 from Bethune to the North Carolina line, about 22 miles will fill in the gap from Kershaw to Lancaster, this completing that highway to the North Carolina line, about 30 miles will take care of highway No. 21 across Fairfield county and provide a continuous pavement to Charlotte by way of Chester and Rock Hill, and not more than 40 miles will be required to fill in tho gap from the end of the present pavement on the Monticello road at the Fairfield county line to get a connection through ' to Union and Spartanburg The mileage included in all these gaps adds up to 177 miles, only $bout 0 per cent of the .total .Additional paved mileage contemplated. There are other important connections in which Columbia is interested, of course, such as direct paved roads from here to Savannah, from here to Klngstree and Georgetown, from here to . Edgefield and McQgrmick, all of which, and many others, are included in the program. Safety First Rule to Be Taught Children Mayor J. A. Raffield, of Sumt<?r.. has issued a proclamation, which^it might be well for all towns and cities to take note of. The proclamation follows: \\ hercas, there are an increasing nunHte?_af,. street and highway acci^n^^Wulting in nn appalling toll of l.To and great ? property damage, and, "Whereas, surveys show that such accidents'arc caused largely by care^ lessness, ignorance, negligence and thoughtlessness and are therefore preventable, and Whereas, by education it has been shown that the number of accidents ean be very much reduced and with this in view our schools have gone into the matter and organized a patrol c#T school Soys with the assistance and cooperation of the Motor Club will educate the school children along safety lines. ?"Believing such a movement- to merit the endorsement of our people I call upon them to cooperatOvin every way possible looking toward the reduction of accidents and the making of our streets and highways more safe for our children."

Although both injured prcgons had stopped breathing when' the scouts arrived, immediate rescuscitutlon was begun, to which tiiey owe the saving 9f ,their lives. 1 he ,scouts are William Ashcmorc and King Thackston, both aged 18, and now freshmen at Clemson college. They have always tuken nn active interest in scouting ever since their tenderfoot days, ami it wus this interest which later led to their saving the lives of little Mary Elizabeth Koid, and her father, John W. Reid, p-Wnen the car in tyhich Mr.< Reid his family and several friends were driving was knocked from the road . near Union bleachery by another uutomobile, Mr. Reid and his young daughter o were thrown unconscious into a creek near the road, both of them being under water. Young Ashmove and Thackston arrived on the scene a few moments later. Realizing that speed was of the greatest ' Necessity, they pulled the - two from the water and iiume- ' diately : applied artificial respiration. Although both victims had stopped breathing several minutes previously, the work of the scouts wus eflfec; tive, and both had regained their breathbefore a physician arrived. Whatever the gratitude of the family of the two may he, the Scouts regard the incident as merely an opportunity for the daily "good deed," and feel that the institution of scouting and not themselves, is due the praiser * ' Ashemore became a scout in December, 1923, being awarded the Eagle badge, the highest honor in scouting, on December, 1927. Thackston was admitted as a tenderfoot in 1924, winning the Eagle award in 1926. With the attainment of the highest honor in the institution neither youth has for a moment become less enthusiastic over scouting, and though now at school, plan to take an active part in the summer cainp program next year. ? - ? ?
