Study U Bain* Mad*
by PlanniBi Survey
Btate Highway D*t*rlmrai and
J Railroad* Ceapeiatlag In Ef
fort to Reduce Accident*.
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.

FRANK HARTZOC,
HILDA, 8. 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.

Plenty ot Peat
Peat—really undeveloped coal—is
formed by decaying vegetable mat
ter and is found in almost all
swamps. In Ireland, it's composed
of moss; in India, rice; in the United
States, almost any plant. Although,
when dried, peat gives almost rs
much heat as soft coal and Is prac
tically smokeless, it Is not used
widely in this country as fuel It
takes too long to dry. But if Amer
ica's coal is ever exhausted, there
will be plenty of peat te take its
place. Under the Atlantic coast Uc

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.
