Efforts Being Made
to Reduce Accidents
Educational Talking Picture May Be
Had Free of Charge From State
Highway Department.
Any school, civic orgapization or
group in Barnwell County that may
be interested in reducing the mount
ing toll of auto accidents may upon
request to A. W. Bohlen, director of
the safety division of the State high
way department, obtain a showing of
the film, “A Challenge to Chnace,”
which Burgess Bultman, highway pa
trolman, is exhibiting over the State.
The picture is a talking picture and
Patrolman Bultman has all necessary
equipment so that the film may be
shown wherever there is electric cur
rent. There is, of course, no charge.
Depicting* the causes of accidents,
the film goes on to show some of the
possible remedies, rational highway
planning, education of drivers and
pedestrians, etc.
The picture is especially timely, in
that the greatest death toll of all
time has been run up this year. In
the first 10 months of 1936, 298 per
sons were killed on South Carolina
highways, compared to 228 for the
identical period in 1935, an increase
of almost one-fourth. N

Among the books which have been
recently added to the Barnwell school
Tibrary is “South Carolina Poets,” an
anthology of contemporary verse by
28 poets with a foreword by Ellen M.
Carroll, of Charleston. This is the
gift of Mrs. Elizabeth Greene Thom
as, daughter of G. M. Greene, Esq, of
Barnwell. A number of poems by
Mrs. Thoms* appear in the publica
tion. One of her moat appealing com
positions is "A Housewife Speaks'*:
My day* are filled
With little thing*,
And all the joy
That service brings.
And yet the far
Horizons call
When I can go
Nowhere at all.
Small face* washed,
Small garnymU mended.
I’m busy till
The day is ended.
A iieam to sew,
A plant to set,
A bed to make,
A child to pet.
And though I swiftly
Do all these,
With hand* in suds
1 sail far seas!
Among other South Carolina poets
whese poems ate included in the an
thology are: Frances Frost ,of Char
leston; Rev. Warren Arial, of Cheraw;
Douglas Mackintosh, of McGellan-
ville, and Archabald Rutledge, of

CCC Camp, Dec. 7.—Lieut. Julian
O. Metz, who reported for duty with
this camp in June of this year, and
who was stationed at the aide camp
at Walterboro most of his tour of
duty, left Friday, December 6th.
Lieut. Metz was popular with the
boys, officers and foresters and will
be much missed.
Lieut. Met* left Friday for Char
leston and other point* in the State,
and will probably settle in North
Carolina, where one of hie brothers is
engaged in the fertiliser business.
First Lieut. H. L. Blitch. reported
for duty with this company Inst Tues
day. Lieut. Blitch is from Atlanta,
and he has already completed two
tours of duty in the CCC. The first
was in District “E“ and he was sta
tioned in Louisiana and Mississippi.
His second tour was in District “BB“,
and he was stationed in South Caro
lina and Georgia. After sU 'ing s^
Barnwell two or three days, he re
ported to the side camp at Waiter-
boro to take charge down there.
In a game of basketball played on
Thursdty, Dec. 3rd, which was inter
esting throughout, though the result
was hardly ever in doubt, the camp
boys defeated Blackville High School
33-20. The game was played in the
Blackville High School gym.
The camp boys were simply too tug
for the Blackville boys, who did their
best in spite of being handicapped by
being about half the *i& of the camp
players. For the Blackville team,
Cook, at center, was the star. Honors
for the camp were about even be
tween Bass, who shot the most points,
and Potter, who handled the ball most
of the time. Teal, at center, playing
for the first time in two weeks, also
showed up well. On the other posi
tions Drawdy, Guerry, Bailey, Frick,
Waldrop, Cole and Baxley all had a
chance^ and it is still doubtful who
will be the regulars. Fred Gray
could not play because of a hurt
wrist.
Edisto Island did not show up for
its game scheduled for Saturday, De
cember 5, so Barnwell automatically
wins another one. *
This is the second time this has
happened. Georgetown was supposed
to play here on November 28, and
they sent word that they could not
come.
Nothing was heard from Edisto Is
land. They just didn’t show up.
The team from Fort Moultrie is
scheduled to play here Saturday, Dec.
12th. Arrangements for the game
have' not been completed at this writ
ing, but we hope the game will be
played in the Blackville gym about
