Maybinton Aroused MAYBINTON CITIZENS PRO TEST ROAD EXPENDITURE South Carolina Highway Com mission, Columbia. S. C. Gentlemen: We, the citizents of the May binton Community, Newberry County, State of South Caro lina, do humbly beg of you to -hear our petition on the fol io win: A short while ago a contract was let by your honorable body to Spotts Construcion Co., New berry, S. C. for the construc tion of some thirteen mile of paved highway from Route No. 176 to, or towards Pomaria, S. C., said contract being let for the sum of $470,000.00, averag ing around $35,000.00 per mile. Considering the small number of patrons that this road will serve and the vital need for all-weather roads,in other sec tions of the county, we feel that the above allocation is un just. We, furthermore are of the considered opinion that if our highway commission has this much money available for the roads of Newberry County that it would be much wiser and much more democratic to spend an average of $8,000.00 to $10,000.00 per mile along well-established routes, which would give the county fifty to sixty miles of paved highway instead of a meager thirteen. We respectfully call to your attention that if the Pomaria road is completed it will re quire an additional $470,000.00 before it will be of much worth to anybody, serving then only to bring Whitmire five miles nearer Columbia; not Clinton; not Union; not any other city, town or hamlet—just Whitmire. The state highway through Maybinton is little better than a quagmire in winter and a washboard in summer, an ever constant danger to the life and limb of all who «travel it. It attempts to serve around a hundred families, three schools, four churches, two school buses, a mail route, the local lumber and pulpwood industry (which is considerable), plus the transients. Our school dis trict has not on e foot of pave ment, some of us living at least 12 to 14 miles from a pav ed road in Newberry County, though we pay our proportion ate share of every sort of tax. Every other section of our county has had road improve ment. . We are asking for only one road, not a half million dol lar one but one that will give us a way out and a way back home. We ask you to consider our desperate need. We are tired of discrimination. Hoping to remain- in your good graces and begging that JOHN B.

And when you look inside, and under the hood, and beneath the chassis, you'll see that their newness is not merely in outward appearance, but in design and engineering and construction as well. But, to a lot of people, the 1949 Chevro let is already old. They know what it will do, and how exceedingly well it will do it— they know all about its performance, its comfort, its power, safety, durability and economy. They are the engineers and tech nicians of the General Motors Proving Ground—the largest, most completely equipped, outdoor testing laboratory in the automobile world. Here, before a single new 1949 Chevro let went into production, experimental models were tested—made to show that they possess, in greater measure than ever, all those qualities on which Chevrolet has built its leadership. In short, the General Motors Proving Ground tests are your assurance that your new-model Chevrolet has proved its worth through many months and many, many thousands of miles of rough handling. Soon you will see the new Chevrolet and when you do, you will see a car not only new, but tried and true. DAVIS MOTOR COMPANY 1517 Main St. Newberry, S.C.

BENSON President ol Herding College Searcy. Arkansas — " ' E3 ONE BRANCH of America’s or ganized labor, the Congress of Industrial Organizations, has made a move that puts it in. the same class with great statesmen. You might not expect these large groups, organized for wage bar gaining with industry, to enter the field cf international rela tions. Yet the CIO, meeting re cently in its yearly convention, did much to strengthen the hand of our government for the grow ing struggle in Europe. When Phil Murray raged forth against the Communists who had managed' to get in under the CIO banner, he was not simply deliv ering a private opinion. Mr. Mur ray, himself a stalwart statesman within labor’s councils, knew he was speaking! with labor’s whole voice His strong condemnation of Communist infiltration in American labor brought cheers and amens from almost all the nation’s wage earners. Against SAID MR. MUR- the Enemy RAY: “I’m not go ing to protect small cliques of men whose interests are promoted and propagated by the Daily Worker and the Com munist party.” As if in answer," the CIO gave its leaders the power to clean out those few left ists who give “slavish adherence” to Communist dictates. For years. Communist Russia has worked for undercover power in all countries. Also, it has been the Russian policy to stir up trouble between labor and man agement, wherever and whenever this could be done. Along with this, the drums of propaganda pound out the command to “re volt." There are aroused strong class feelings and hates that. ■■■■■■•■■»asas**a>9asa9aBBBaasflaaaasa»Baat cloud up the issues Nobody, then, is able to think things out around the conference table. Organized labor is dead, whenever Commu nism gets hold. Labor Is THE CIO has deliv. No Tool ered an ultimatum to Russia. The CIO haa let it be known that America ia doing all right without any “dic tatorship of the proletariat.” It has served notice that American labor will not permit itself to be < ssd as a tool to accomplish Rus sian conquest of the world. It has said to the Communist par ty: You can’t camp here while waiting for the revolution and turmoil that you hope will give you a chance to take over! My thanks to Mr. Murray and the CIO convention! All of us know that Communism can bring nothing but ill to this troubled world, that so much needs peace. We know that our own American way is already delivering the goods to an extent that puts to shame all the Communistic promises, false as they are. When you think of it, it is amazing that any American would be a part in any scheme or plot to force upon us a way of life that adds up to nothing but slavery I have confidence that the American people will not be fool ed by anything the Communist propaganda mil) can turn out. When we recognize the fruits ««f American enterprise that we eii- joy, amidst all the freedoms and liberties that are ours daily, a man would seem like an utter fool to think of changing our sys tem for something else. 1 am thankful that our labor unions are awake to their responsibilitiea along these lines. They must keep eternal watch! James W. Adams of Sumter; Mr. and Mrs. Carol M. Adams and children of Hartsville; Mr. and Mrs. Homer Taylor and thret. children of Saluda, N.
