To reduce possibilities of auto mobile accidents, an exhaustive study of every railroad crossing in Barnwell County has been started by the Highway Planning Survey, with the State Highway Depart ment and the railroads of Barnwell County cooperating. The following information about each crossing will be submitted by .he railroads: the number of trains passing every day and every night, the speeds of these trains, and the period of the day during which the peak movement of railroad traffic passes over the crossing. The railroad companies will also report al accidents that have oc curred during the past five yeas at each crossing showing the time if day and other circumstances, the cause, and the number of persons injured or killed. Some of the railroad companies have returned their reports, others are to return theirs later. The same study is being conducted in the remainder of the state, as well as in 44 other states. The entire survey is under the advisory su pervision of the Federal Bureau of Public Roads and the Association of American Railroads. As soon as ail reports have been received, the Survey will classify each crossing in one of the follow’- ing categories: (1) crossings that should be closed by relocation of existing highways, (2) crossings at which overhead bridges or under passes should be constructed, (3) crossings that may be allowed to remain with proper protection, or (4) crossings that may be allowed to remain without protection other than signs.

C In compliance with the Public Welfare law, passed at the last ses sion of the Legislature, a com plete registration of the blind in South Carolina is now in the pro cess of compilation by the State Department of Public Welfare, Co lumbia, S. C. Thomas H. Daniel, Director, State Department of 'Public Wel fare, and Walter F. Going, Chair man of the South Carolina Advis ory Council for the Blind, urge that the name and address of each and every blind and partially blind' per son, white or colored, adult or child in Barnwell County, be forwarded as promptly as possible to Mrs. Anne B. Owings, Chief of the Di vision for the Blind, South Caro lina Department of Public Wel fare. It is necessary for the Coun cil to have a complete registration of all blind persons in the State in order that constructive plans may be formulated for sight conserva tion, treatment and placement in industry of blind persons, or per sons with seriously defective vis ion. :■ The Rehabilitation and Preven tion program for the Blind is a new one, made possible by State appro priation, and is unmatched by Fed eral funds. The registration will facilitate the establishment of clin ics, workshops, training centers, etc. in vsrious counties in which the greatest number of blind per sons may be found. Cooperation of every one con cerned in human welfare is re quested in the registeration of this group of society which is admitted ly the most handicapped of any group. Assistance rendered to it is undeniably worthwhile, and a pay- iny investment in human indepen dence on the part of those partici pating. When aided toward self- support, the blind automatically will become an economic and social develop an independence which each crossing showing the time of asset to our great State. Witch Hooter Hanged In the heydey of witchcraft, along about the Seventeenth century, many novel and even barbaric methods were used to determine whether one was a witch. England’s most famed witch finder was one Matthew Hopkins. One of his favor ite stunts was to stick needles and pins into a suspect to see If he could draw tears. Witches couldn’t cry. Hopkins probably learned a lot about witchcraft, but if he did, be must have misused the knowl edge. For In the end he himself was hanged as s witch. Advertise ia The People Sentinel The purpose of Scouting la to taild cht ratter through Habit and to train fer citizenship through service. What is Character? It may be simply and completely defined as the sum total of one’s habits. Therefore, Scouting seeks to achi eve its objective of character- building by inspiring and motiva ting and leading,boys into whole some habits when they are young, so that they will not depart from them when they are old. If a boy gets a habit, through his daily good turn, of doing a kindness for some one every day he will likely continue that habit through life. ■~When we men get up in the mornings, we always put the same leg through the same trouser-leg. We never alternate from one leg to the other. We do it so uncon sciously that many of us could not tell tellueH-s cmfw cmfwyfww not tell whether we use our left leg or our right leg first in put ting on our trousers. We do it sub-consciously, without think ing, because it is a habit we have »had so long. These things illus- | trate the principle of character building through habit develop ment in the program of the Boy Scouts of America. The Sccut Oath. “On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my coun try and to obey the Scout law. To help other people at all times. To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.” The Scout Law. “A Scout is Trustworthy. A Scout is Loyal. A Scout is Help ful. A Scout is Obedient. A Scout is Friendly. A Scout is Courteous. A Scout Is Kind. A Scout is Cheer ful. A Scout is Thrifty. A Scout is Brave. A Scout is Clean. A Scout is Reverent.” I have been asked to serve as district commissioner by the Au gusta Area Council for Dunbarton, Barnwell, Blackville, Salley and Williston. My duties are to assist in organizing and promoting Scouting in these towns. I find that a number of people do not know what Scouting is and what it stands for, and for that reason I am writing a number of articles which Mr. Davies has kindly agreed to publish in his papers. I shall be glad to meet with the parents and boys of Scout age (12 to 15 years) and any others in terested in Scouting and bring a good Scout as speaker. At this meeting the parents should select a Scoutmaster, Assistant Scout master and CommiJ eeman. We have a troop in Williston. Any other towns that may be interested in this Scouting program are re quested to advise me. The Lindbergh kidnaping cost the State of New Jersey $167,820.- 72. The estimated total cost was well over a million dollars. What has John Dillinger, Gerald Chap man and other public enemies cost us? Is it not possible that if some good man and scoutmaster had taken an interest in and given some time to these boys their lives would have been a different story? How much time are YOU giving to our youth? T. It. PENDER. Williston, S. C. County Has One Representative.

Cerebellum in Control of Activities of Body The brain is made up of a mass of nerve fibers in the shape of a di vided hemisphere. It is covered with irregular indentations and convolu tions identical on both halves, and has hollow areas, or ventricles, In the center. The Internal structure of the brain is complex, and con tains parts which were developed In the earlier stages of man’s evolu tion tbat are still s part of his bodily make-up. There was a time when man was just a body and had no intelligeaas to speak of, or, in other words, was little more than an animal. A part of him that is still in that stage and the needs of that stage are largely taken care of by the little brain, the cerebellum, an ancient edition of the larger brain. This small brain, nestling beneath the hind portion of the large brain, according to a writer in the New York Herald Tribune, controls the position of the various parts of the body with reference to the head as well as the position of the head. It controls his activities which involve his aim, his ability to reach things that he sees, the muscular activl- us to control our balance.
