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

NOTICE—I am now prepared
to assist you with the filing
of your Income Tax Returns—

Security and Withholding. Am

stairs over Baker’s Shoe Shop
in office formerly occupied by
Dr. Lynch. Mrs. A. H. Counts.
\A/HEN you see the 1949 Chevrolets, a
glance will be enough to tell you
they're new—all new—in line and contour,
in beauty and style. 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.

Labor Statesmanship
By GEORGE S. 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!
