" I 1 111 I Cruising Around with THE SKIPPER A Richmond sport writer buys Cal/in Griffith, munagor of the Charlotte club of the IMedmont league, may bo manuglng the Washington Senators in 1940. Which gives wh a laugh. We recall the viblt .or the Hornets to thin bailiwick lust April. If the Actions of the Charlotte players were in line with Griffith's Idea of discipline, we question the enthusiasm of the Richmond scribe. According to Dexter Martin, chief of the state aeronautic board, Camden | people will see a real air spectncle oni June 21, when the planes of the Florida good-will flyers arrive here. Dexter buys there will be between fifty and one hundred shlpx in the group. t Just to imitate the humble bee, by flitting about aimlessly, let me chatter ubout a matter that 1 feel should be given real consideration by our legislators over In Columbia. I refer to the so-called automobile ''graveyard nuisance." We hope a bill will be passed that will prohibit thebe offensive spectacles. The bill should not only abate these rubbish piles but provide bill boards be kept at a specified distance from the highway. No amount of artistic sign painting can make a bill board other than a nuisance. Obviously it cannot he better looking than the vistas it effaces. A law which provides private properly may not be used for the storage in- display of discarded cars would ! be ihe most effective measure for thej correction of the many unsightly nuisances in evidence on marly every' hiehwav in the state I Well have Villi noticed tll.it tile ,spin t writers oVt i in tile state capital ?i. - s\t rt nr.' tin (ip. niug liars of tie Ativ tl I'll"! us Sim e i h'- Columbia, Reds till I' d 1" sk: I d >w ti to the bottom of t tl- b a -'lie tie- i" 1 llefs o! -porting ii'-vvs have taken on a most acute attack of Jit tors. ? ? # line afternoon srribe was so excited lie < arried a banner line telling of an impend mg diamond battle bet wen S-mi' 11 Carolina and Newberry and up-' on reading the news si<?r>. we diseovt-r, <1 it was Cut in an in-!.-.til o!

The mothers of America will never object to having their sons fight to defend their country, but they certainly will express decided opinions If this nation attempts to defend nations which do| not keep their proinless. I am In favor of putting the boot to every person who Intimates George Washington's advice against foreign entanglements Is out of dute. * ? ? * Speaking of speed?listen to this. After Dexter Martin, state aeronautical chief, had extended the Camden Invitation to the Florida to New York group at Tampa last Monday, he flew from Tampa to Jacksonville with Herbert Whitney, director of aviation in Florida, thence to Columbia, from where he phoned this writer that the Camden invitation had been accepted. And it all took place within three and a half hours. Gee, gosh, that's goin some. Let's make this matter of auto driver pedestrian rights clear to everybody partii ularly some ot the lame brains that sit back ot' steering wheels Here is an example of what liapp- its daily at the stoplight, corner, ot' I leK.ii h ami I'.road streets for we have witnessed it stores of times. Car headed west, is slopped by red light. Driver plans on swinging north on Hroad street when light changes. Pedestrians walking west from postof.flee wait at cast corner until red light goes on Red changes lu green 011 east and west traffic and motorist mentioned before steps on tho gas and .ed, around the corner to the right wi'hout regard for the pedestrians who are crossing from east to west or west to east a r< il light. . f * * * Whs t I am trying to emphasize is he III ' that the pedes!

I11 every i n st a nee, I have noted the motorist opens up his si re en or horn and whizzes around, making pedestrian leap frantically to avoid being hit. And remember, if you are a motorist and should happen to hit a pedestrian under the circumstances as outlined, you sure are in for a swell damage action ?arid it might be a manslaughter i hargo.
