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 want to go on record right uow
in Huylng that hh un honest-to-goodneaa,
real-blooded American 1 want
i thin country to have the largest navy,
army and air forces In the world and
be prepared to defend the nation from
foreign Invasion. iJut, I'm for keeping
out of foreign affairs. 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! Hit II W ll'l IS
ero-vnig on the p'd !:g!tt lias tin* right
of way in or the motorist who has
swung in ft om I ifli all) street and
turns to go north on Hroad. 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.
