BY THE WAY... By DORIS ARMFIELD For some time I have had two pet peeves concerning traf fic in Newberry. I noticed that while I was in Washing ton, one of them was eliminat ed. That was at the corner of Boundary and College streets. Previously, the highway “stop” sign was on Boundary street, east of College. A person driv ing east on Boundary had the right of way to make a left turn into College street because that was the highway, e A number of times when I was making that turn, a per son driving on Boundary street headed in the direction of Sil- verstreet would fail to stop, or almost fail to stop, and then sit there glaring at me with that expression that I knew to mean “these women drivers!” Now I don’t mind beiiig blamed for something which I am responsible, but it always provoked me, to be cas tigated for something I was do ing right. I wanted to get out and point to the sign which the driver of the other car seemed to overlook. I notice now that the pro cedure has been reversed. The STOP signs are now on Col lege street and ' Boundary street traffic has the right of way all the way through. Now that suits me just finp—I be lieve the signs are located con veniently enough for everyone to see, and maybe the confusion will cease. But confusion still exists at the intersection of College and Harrington streets. Sometime back, I believe a survey was made to determine whether Newberry needed any more tiaffic lights. I haven’t heard the outcome of that survey, but I could inform whoever made it that at least during the daytime, a traffic light is most certainly needed at that corner. What with the court house being on one corner, with police and patrol cars coming and going; service stations on each of the other thrf-ee corners with cars in and out constant ly, the buses that come up Har rington street and turn into College and vice versa, there is usually a tie-up there, and the cars on Hyrington street have to wait an indeterminate time to make a turn or get across College street. Couldn’t city council do something about this? ' I haven’t talked politics for some time now, and as I re call, I haven’t mentioned at all the rumors that prevail con cerning our state representa tive, Thomas H. Pope. Tom has never made any bones about the fact that someday he expects to run for Governor. The rumors were highly persis tent that he would be in the race back in 1946, but he did not see fit to throw his hat in the ring that year. No sooner was that election determined, than we began to hear “Tom will be in the race in 1950.” The last time 1 saw Tom— which was sometime last sum mer, he said it was too early to make any formal statement, and of course three years is a little early to announce a candidacy. However, the ru mors still persist, and Tom nei- their confirms nor denies t\iem, at least not formally. I hoped to se e him before writing this column, but while the legis lature is in session, it’s almost an impossibility. The main thing I want to say is that nothing would give me more pleasure than to be able to call Tom Pope “Gov ernor.” He is intelligent, he is a good legislator, and so far as I know, he does the things he believes right and does not bow to political influence or accept the bribes of lobbyists. The state would have to look a long time to find a more capa ble man to handle its affairs than Tom Pope. During my brief sojourn in Washington the end of last year, what spare time I had when I wasn’t studying, I usu ally spent working, or trying to work crossword puzzles, one of my favorite pastimes. Both my landlady and my room mate had the puzzlebug, too, so the three of us would gather around whenever we could find a puzzle. Those in the papers of Washington we usually did n’t have too much trouble with; but we met more than our match when each Monday, we would start on the puzzle from the Sunday issue of the New York Times. Armed with two dictionaries, a copy of the The saurus. an Information Please almanac and whatever other helpful data we could find, we would go to work. We would work on that puzzle from one Monday till 'the next, but the entire time I was up there, we never did manage to complete one. After I had been home for about three weeks, I got the puzzle-fever again, so I went down to see if Johnnie Jones by any chance had a copy of the New York Times of the Sunday past.. He did — and while I was talking with John nie, he told me that he sold #t least 30 copies of the Times ALMOST ALWAYS it’s the fellow who is too slow ip •. his work who thinks he is over-worked.
