C., Oct. 19.—The present accident trend augurs par ticularly bad for high school students, according to a survey made public today by Ccleman W Roberts, president of the Carolina Motor club, which is affiliated with the A. A. A. If present trends continue, ap proximately 12 out of every 100 high school students will be killed or seriously injured in traffic and 65 will sustain minor injuries. Mr. Roberts declared, pointing out that this leaves only 23 out of every 100 who will escape scot-free from mo tor vehicle mishap. “This situation points to the im mediate need for corrective action,” the local club president declared,” and one of the most effective steps that could be taken would be uni versal adoption by all high schools of a course to teach students how to drive safely under the congested and dangerous traffic conditions that prevail at the present time. “The fact that youthful drivers of high school and early college ages have the worst accident record of any age group alone is sufficient reason for widespread teaching of proper driving methods. By teach ing these young drivers the princi pal parts of the mechanism he is to operate and particularly its safety features, by instructing him in the traffic regulations under which he is to drive and above all by im pressing upon him the need for caution in the traffic lanes and the dangers attendant upon careless ness, recklessness and violations of good driving practices, an immedi ate improvelnent would be brought about in the accident record of this group.” Mrs. Satterwhite Dies In Loachpoka, Funeral Tuesday OPELIKA, Ala., Oct. 15.—Mrs. W A.

C. Albert C. Todd Trustee At Large SUCCEEDS LATE C. M. BAILEY ON BOARD OF THE PRESBY TERIAN COLLEGE Corn-Hog Producers May Vote At County Agent’s Office Oet. 26 A ballot box will be in County Agent E. L. Rogers’ office Saturday, October 28th, in order that Corn- Hog Producers may vote “Yes” or “No” as to their desire for a con tinuation of the voluntary Coro- Hog Reduction Program in 1936. Any farmer who is producing hogs in 1935 can vote, however, the County Committee will decide on. the eligibility of voters. X Nine-Point Outlook On Com And Hogs No less than nine major factors will have to be weighed by McCor mick County farmers before they mark their ballots in the nation wide com-hog referendum, Satur day, October 26, on the question: Do you favor a corn-hog adjust ment program to follow the 1935 program which expires November 30, 1935? First in the outlook is the coun try’s small livestock population, says County Agent E. L. Rogers. Unprecedented drought which cut the corn crop and the harvest of other feed grains almost in half last year forced fanners to strip their herds and flocks down to the smallest number of grain-consum ing animals on farms in 34 years. Second, although farmers have 15 per cent less livestock than they had during the five-year period 1928-1932, it is estimated that at the close of this year’s harvest, they will have enough feed sup plies for almost as many animals as the average during the five-year period. Third, if there is no adjustment program in 1936, farmers will be likely to harvest more than 100 million acres of com. They har vested 105 1-2 million acres in 1932 and 1933, and a recent government report indicates a 1935 harvest of nearly 94 million acres. Acreage this year was held down to 94 million only because com-hog con tract signers retired about 11 1-2 million acres. Fourth, with a large supply of com and too few animals to utilize it, the trend of prices of corn dur ing the coming year is expected to be downward. Fifth, it is possible for the hog population to increase rapidly dur ing the next two or three years. Sixth, in the past ruinously low farm prices have always resulted, from unlimited increases in corn and, hog production following per iods in which livestock numbers and feed supplies have been out of balance. Seventh, it is likely that the gradual economic recovery will con tinue, but no improvement in the export demand for park products can be expected. Eighth, while; a considerable in crease in hog production above the present drought-reduced level is desirable for both the farmer and the consumer, an unlimited in crease is not to the interest of either. Ninth, an adjustment program can allow for af healthy increase in hog numbers and yet keep com acreage at a more desirable level.. CLINTON, Oct. 17.—The Board of Trustees of Presbyterian College has received two new members to fill vacancies in their numbes. The Hon. Albert C. Todd of Greenwood, S. C., was elected as Trustee-at-large by the Synod of South Carolina at their recent meeting in Rock Hill. Mr. Todd; is one of the outstanding attorneys of the state and is very active in church and civic affairs. His: election to the Board adds a most valuable and distinguished person ality.
