Double-Thumbed People in Old Spanish Village A strange village, Palazuetos, hat b^en discovered In the mountains of Spain, soya Capper’s Weekly. The strangeness of this hamlet lies In the fact that most of its people have slx-flngered bands, two thumbs on each one. Few of the villagers ever have reached the outside world be cause the mountain trails are impass able to wheeled vehicles. So the world knew nothing about them until re cently. Intermarriage caused by ex treme Isolation fa believed, by some an thropologists to he the eause of the double thumbs. Other scientists call attention to the fact that since most of the men work in stone quarries and have done so for generations their labor has tended to broaden their thumbs until Anally Mother Nature produced an extra member. The villagers '^jo^iiot' regard their WATCH YOUR DRIVER S CARD IF YOU INTEND TRAVELING Because so many South Carolina motoriKts are planning automobile trips into other section.* of the coun try during the summer, and due to their lack of information regarding the Driver’* License, the State High way Department is broadcasting a bnOetin advising all motorists to be «*ertain that before leaving their homes they have their license to drive a motor vehicle with them. All States which hav e a driver’s license law require a license of all motorists from other States which have a similar law. Of course, one may never be required to show’ yuch « license; but, should the occasion arise, much trouble and inconvenience wiR be avoided. The States which have driver’s license law* are: Arizona, California, Colorado, Con- ' necticut, Delaware,. District of Col- ximbia, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Hamp shire, New’ Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington, “West Virginia and Wisconsin. It will be noted that while only “20 States have a driver's license law, one traveling towards another State an almost any direction would neces sarily have to pass through one of these 20 States. All South Carolinians who have lost or misplaced their driver’s license should make provision at •once for a .xntm one whether they plan to travel In another State or not. The law re- Nilii n that one must have their license to drive a motor vehicle on tlmir person while driving, and pen- aaRies are provided where the law is properly observed.
