BROWN, McCORMICK, S. C. Bulldogs-Gameeocks To Tangle Columbia, Sept. 26.—The Uni versity of Georgia—^University cf South Carolina football game this Saturday premises to rival the Clemson-Caroiina classic cliis year for color - enthusiasm - ana good hard football. When the Bulldogs and Game cocks meet in the .Columbia Municipal Stadium, football fans of the Palmetto State will have their first opportunity to see the far-famed “ten second backfield”, of Georgia, in action. This fa mous quartet of backs, all of whom run the 100 yd. dash around the 10 second mark, have es tablished themselves as the speed iest scoring combination in the South. Around these the new head coach, Joel Hunt, will build his attack. First and fastest of the quartet is Vassa Cate, S. E. C. 100 yd. dash champion. Cate scored one 65 yard touchdown last year against the Birds. Right at the heels of his speed merchant will be Oliver Hunnicutt and Harry Stevens, wing back and tail back, respec tively, only a fraction of a second slower. Jim Fordham, Georgia’s line-busting fullback, is a human express train weighing more than 200 pounds. To screen these backfield aces, the Bulldogs have a forward wall led by Captain Quinton Lumpkin, 125 pound All-Southern center, that will tip the scales at 215 pounds per man. . Carolina will not be without scoring threats however, for the Bulldogs have good cause to re- member Dick Little, Bird fullback : who outran their own Vassa Cate last year for a 70 yard touchdown. This year Al Grygo, sophomore rubber legged star, and Carolina’s All-American prospect, co-captain Larry Craig, will have a word to say in the Bird defense. A promise of a record-breaking 'rewd of twenty thousand fan c has brought an unheard of swarm of ticket requests to «the Carolina ticket office. One complete stand has been practically sold out and fifty-yard seats are at a premium. Many fans look to the Bulldog- Gamecock clash as the acid test fer two new coaching staffs, that of Joel Hunt and Co. at Georgia, and Rex Enright at Carolina. However, the visitors will have much of the advantage of weight, speed, and reserves when they meet the fledgling Birds at 2 p. m. on Saturday. xx Autumn Driving (By Ed Hedner, National Service and Mechanical Director, Chevrolet Motor Division.) Each season of the year makes its own demands upon motorists. The approach of Autumn lends imeliness to a brief discussion of the things which the motor car iwner can do to assure maximum driving satisfaction during those ew weeks between summer heat ;nd winter cold. In spite of certain conditions hat require extra caution on the roads, there is nothing about Autumn to cause the slight est anxiety to a driver who recognizes these conditions and governs his driving accord- ngly. City streets are likely to iresent some hazards due to wet eaves underfoot, but application of he same rules as apply in winter iriving will prevent trouble from ‘diat source. Avoid abrupt stops. Even or iry pavement, it is always a goor >lan to check car speed gradually The driver who has formed that if. bit will automatically handle lis car safely when ice, snow, or vet leaves put special emphasis in the cautious use of brakes. Few drivers make turns cor- J lv. The tendency is to apply •e brakes when going into a •■s, and this is wrong. It throws ’•o weight cf the car upon the it end, making it hard to "'r. Try slowing down before vr.j start the turn, and then, at moment of turning, step on accelerator slightly. This *'"^ws the weight toward the rear ' the car, and makes for a <• noth, easy turn. The advice ipnlies not only in the fall but all "he year round. Fog is more prevalent in Au tumn than in summer, and fog stop in the clear space ahead” covers the whole ground. And Since the clear space ahead is greatly restricted when the fcj i: thick, this demands a sharp re duction in speed. If it becomes necessary to stop and clean the windshield when driving in fog, be sure to pull —'’1 off the highway out of tiaf fic. Ari when behind the whee' yourself, drive as you would if you suspected that some motorist ahead had stopped without tak ing that precaution. Night driving in fog has been simplified by the development of lamps which pierce the murk, and later on, the same lamps will be found of great help when driv ing in a heavy snowfall. Their use, in conjunction with ordinary caution, will do much toward safer Autumn driving. Sept. 7, 1938.

Associations Collections High Columbia. Sept. 14.—Collections by production credit associations in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia in July and August exceeded by $1,580,000 those of the same two months last year, Ernest Graham, president of the Production Credit Corporation of Columbia, announced today.

Greenwood, Sept. 21.—Efforts to promote the sale of small metal plates carrying the Social Securi ty account number and name of the worker under which it was is sued brought forth from Miss Martha Pressly, Manager of the Social Security Board’s Green wood Field 6ffice, a statement that the Board had not author ized or sanctioned their manu facture or distribution. “There have appeared on the market from time to time various devices made of metal or other material carrying the information contained on an account number card”, Miss Pressly said. “One of these is a small metal plate so patterned that it might easilv create the impression that it is an official product of the Govern ment, since it carries an etching of the eagle flanked by the ini tials ‘U.

I was so struck with the de lightful sentiment shown by a group of women* in Flint, Michi gan, in the observance of the ninetieth birthday of Mrs. Emma A. Fox. Although the occasion: was some time ago, I have only just heard about it and I have thought how splendid, it was of each of her ninety friends to drop a rosebud in Mrs. Fox’s lap, one. for each year she has lived. Al though she is past ninety now, she takes an airplane to keep en^ gagementsfm other cities, attends club con>wntlons, and acts as. parliamentarian. She is the au thor of “Parliamentary Usage,” which is considered the authority on this subject by many national, state and local societies. She her self serves as parliamentarian of three national and three state organizations. And last year she took over a class in parliamentary procedure for the University of Michigan Extension service. in order to facilitate the issuing to them of new ones in the case, of the loss or destruction of their cards, the Board has not autho rized the production of any sup plementary device or cards.’.’ “We have been instructed not to encourage the sale of. any such, ievices, particularly one carrying the implication that it is official.” “In the preparation of these substitutes,” Miss Pressly empha sized, “there is involved the danger of errors both in the re production. of. the number and. ohe name of the worker.” The amount of old-age insur ance benefits, it was pointed out, ’s based on the total amount o£ wages paid, the individual em ployee in covered employment after 1936, and: until he reaches age 65.
