H. Gooding, leader, Clemson Poultry Extension Work. It Is being sponsored by the South Carolina Poultry Improvement Association and area and state prizes have been made available. Club members entering the con test may use either purebred or cross-bred stock. Each contes tant must grow out at least 50 sexed cockerels or 100 straight- run chicks. The chicks entered in the contest must be purchased from hatcheries in South Carolina operating under the National Poultry Improvement Plan and must have been hatched between March 19 and 24 Contestants will not be per mitted to use artificaial stimu lants such us hormones, and standard 4-H broiler record forms will be required for submitting reports Entry blanks may be secured from county extension agents and must be filed with tnem before March 31, 1951. For the selection of winners five area shows and a state shoV will be held. The area shows will be held during the week of May 28 at Greenville, Newberry, Columbia, Walterboro, and Harts- ville. The state show will be held in Columbia June 6. For the area shows each con testant will enter seven cockerels from which the five best will be selected as the contestant’s entry. The three top entries from each show will be frozen and exhibited to the state show. The contestants will be paid market prices for their entries at the area shows. At the state show the entries will be sold at public auction with the pro ceeds of the sale going to the contestants exhibiting the birds. Mr. Gooding expressed the hope that there will be entries in the area shows from all counties within the given area. “This contest will offer some stimulant for counties with Sears 4-H pro jects. Club members may enter their chicks in the broiler con test and send cockerels to thi area shows and use their pullets to complete the Sears project,” he explains. Drive Starts to Reduce Accidents Furthering a statewide move ment just launched by the South Carolina Highway Department to stop the upward surge in deaths on highways, steps will be taken Immediately to improve any con ditions in Newberry County which could in any way be contri buting factors in accidents, Main tenance Superintendent Geo. F. Scruggs of Newberry said today. The public’s assistance is request ed. Mr. Scruggs said he was called to a district meeting recently, at tended by all maintenance super intendents and project engineers, at which plans for the safety drive were discussed. “We were told by District En gineer Mr. A. L. Atkinson that in 1950 motor vehicle accidents took the lives of 666 persons, 152 of them pedestrians, making it the worst year for fatalities since the last war, and the second worst In history. Nearly all counties have shared In this rapid upsurge In 'accidents and we made plans at the meeting to do everything possible to reverse the trend this year,” the superin tendent said. In an attempt to make travel ing In this county as safe, or safer, than anywhere in the state, some of the practices which will be stepped up In this county, ac cording to the maintenance sup erintendent, are as follows: 1. The public is urged to co- : operate with us In reporting any bad conditions, such as torn-down signs or bad places In roads or bridges, which in any way could contribute to the cause of acci dents. 2. Although it is not possible to visit every section of every road in the county every day, the Maintenance superintendent , will follow a plan of close, regu lar inspection of all state high ways in the county. 3. The Department will empha size safety among its own per sonnel, doing everything possible to guard against accidents in volving either its own personnel and equipment or the motoring public. ... 4. improving -the . ot, both Warning an4> ~ directional signs where necessary to promote safety. 5. Immediately repairing any road or bridge condition which could contribute toward the cause of accidents. 0. Speed up the marking of crosswalks on highways inside the limits of towns and cities where needed to improve safety conditions. 7. Make greater use of acci dent statistics, as furnished by Department headquarters, in pin pointing places where accidents most frequently occur and make necessary corrections to improve safety conditions there. 8. I believe parents could be a big help, by talking to their children and tell them not to turn signs and pull up signs. We find a lots of Stop Signs turned around by young boys. Also some people have a habit of Shooting holes through signs, which should be stopped, as these signs are for the Safety of Everyone, also these signs cost the Tax Payer money. The maintenance superintendent added that South Carolina has a reputation for having not only one of the best systems of paved roads in the nation, but one of the best marked. “We’re simply going to Improve on our already high record by making our roads not only the best but the safest in the nation,” he declared.
