' 7 THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, AUGUST Id, 1951 1218 College Street NEWBERRY, S. C. PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY By ARMFIELD BROTHERS Entered as second-class matter December 6, 1937, at the Postoffice at Newberry, South Carolina, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: In S. C., $1.50 per year in advance outside S. C., $2.00 per year in advance. Spectator Discusses Auto Insurance Rates Insurance rates go up, like everything else. Rail Road rates go up, inter-urban bus rates go up, insurance goes up. At the moment I’m considering automo bile accident and liability insur ance; I don’t know about fire and life rates. Why do automobile insurance rates advance? Is is just the whim of some company, or some rating bureau that fixes the rates? Like many of my breth ren, I wonder about rates. In Columbia, I’m associated very pleasantly with some Insurance apostles, and in the town where I live, the insurance men are like a gentle zephyr breathing o'er a bank of violets, or some thing like that. At least, they are the salt of the earth. I once raised a question: A filling station, called X sold gas oline, oil, grease and the numer ous peps and pops that will make a Model T dash down the road like the latest 8-cylinder, 190 horsepower sky-gazer, doing 90 an hour, with no oil consumption and 40 miles to the gallon; or is it 40 gallons to the mile? If you buy gasoline on credit it will seem 40 gallons to the mile when the bill comes in and all those miles are forgotten. Of course you didn’t run all those miles; the speedometer is unreliable. Now filling station X also had a small stock of groceries. Across the street, station “B” had all that—gasoline, pep, pop, grease, groceries, air and water. The rate on “X” was twice as high as the rate on “B”. Not having a mind attuned to the mysteries of such abstruse matters I never was able to fathom the depths of that reasoning. By the way, do you know that a filling station is a better risk than a grocery store? Probably rice has more explosive force than gasoline. You may re member the bride who planned to roast a pig and filled him with raw rice and put him in the oven? It is said that they found most of her kitchen in a neigh bor’s yard, as a result of the swelling of that rice. So you never can tell. r About the automobile rates: did you ever see a driver “start off’’ with a rabbit leap? Some drive in that manner. And then when they jam down the brakes for a sudden stop, leaving tell tale marks on the paving. And the driving between the start and stop is about what you might expect—turning corners at great speed; jumping ahead of everybody else, cutting in under the next man. Well, there is al ways a pay-day. All of us, though, pay for that kind of driving. So here is what is said: “Death and injury on the high way—plus the climbing cost of fixing a smashed car—are send ing insurance rates skyrocketing for 20 million insured auto own ers. Today 107 leading insurance companies will hike rates in 12 states by as much as 30 per cent on policies covering injury to persops and property by automo biles, f In the past two months these companies have been grant ed “emergency” increases in ten other states by regulatory auth orities. They’re expected to raise their charges in most of the re maining states very shortly. These grisly statistics of the The DEPARTMENT Of COMMERCE And BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION NEWBERRY COLLEGE ANNOUNCES NEW COURSES In SECRETARIAL Subjects designed for building Shorthand Skill on a Broad Business Vocabulary. THE COURSE Emphasizes Civil Service Dictation, Medical Dictation, and other Voca tional Dictation, representing Six teen Modern Businesses. THIS COURSE Will be of special appeal to Nurses and Stenographers who are interest ed in better preparing themselves for Advancement. SPECIAL CLASSES May be arranged for those desiring Shorthand alone. Fall Semester Begins — September 13th For Information Call — the Registrar's Office Telephone No. 330-M National Safety Council tell the reason for soaring insurance rates: 35,000 killed last year by autos and more than 1,200,000 in jured, with the 1951 pace run ning ahead of that. The figures have mounted year by year as more cars crowded on the high ways. As recently as 1945, the killed numbered 28,076, the in jured one million. “Traffic deaths during the past 12 months were about threa times the combat deaths among U. S. Forces in Korea since hos tilities started. “In the 51 years and six months since the first U. S. auto mobile death occured at the turn of the century, nearly 980,000 persons have lost their lives in traffic, accidents. That’s just a bit under the nation’s total mili tary deaths of 998,000 in all its wars in the 176 years and two months since the Battle of Lex ington.” Speeding, drunken driving, il legal passing and failing to give the right of way caused 23,000 of last year’s highway deaths. “Excessive speed is the big killer, of course, accounting for more than half of fatal acci dents.” Inflation has of course helped drive rates higher—for repairing damages to both humans and property. According to figures compiled by the Association of Casualty and Surety Companies, the aver age cost of settling claims for bodily injuries is 54 per cent above that of ten years ago, while on property damage it is up 124 per cent. Hospital fees are 75 per cent to 175 per cent higher than a decade back. The aver age court verdict in 1950 in some localities was more than 90 per cent higher than in 1940. A study by the National Bnreau of Casualty Underwriters shows that a bodily injury claim which cost about $119 to settle during the first quarter of 1950 cost about $135 in the first three months of this year. Design of modern cars has been a financial blow also, insur ance men claim. A leaflet soon to be placed, in all policies to be is sued by members of the Associa tion of Casualty & Surety com panies has this to say about to day’s auto: “In 1940, a fender was just that and nothing more. Now a sizeable part of the side of a car, it includes a headlight or taillight. Yesterday’s minor sideswipe is today’s major repair job. Elaborate grillwork, curved windshields and tinted glass on newer models mean bigger re placement bills.” This group estimates that due to modern design and increased labor costs, a front end replace ment which cost $100 in 1940 costs $290 today; a rear fender replacement which was priced at $10 in 1940 now brings $90. Groggy from soaring losses, the insurance companies are taking other measures besides hiking rates. Some have sharply cur tailed their solicitation of new business; others are foath to in sure cars driven by persons un der 25 years of age (more than 27 per cent of the deaths and injuries are caused by cars driv en by that age group) others flatly refuse to insure a car own ed and driven by a person under 21; older cars undergo close scrutiny before being insured. States putting higher bodily in jury and, property damage rates into effect today are Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Main, Maryland, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota and Vermont Commercial vehicle rates were also hiked in all of these states except Alabama and South Caro lina. I quote that from the Wall Street Journal. Church membership in the United States reaches 56 percent, says a headline in “The State” of Columbia, recently, this headline introducing an Associated Press story from New York. By “church membership” the story includes Catholics, Jewish, and Protestant religious bodies. I quote the dis patch : “Church” membership in the United States rose to 85,705,280 in 1950, a record-making 55.9 per cent of the population. Notice! Parents Of Newberry School District No. 1 Fifty Years Of FINGERPRINTING The consolidation of the 39 school districts in Newberry County into seven (7) school districts abolished all local tax levies for current operating) 0 expenses, such as: Light, water and heat, Janitors and janitors' supplies, repairs to building and grounds, Saliries for extra teachers, Supplement to teachers' salaries paid by the State, Instructional supplies and new equipment, etc. This was a ruling by the Attorney General of South Carolina. If you wish your school to remain open and your children to receive the training they rightly deserve then be sure to take your registration certificate and 1950 tax receipt with you to vote on August. 14th — and vote in favor of the 15 mill tax levy, WHICH WILL BE THE ONLY LOCAL SCHOOL LEVY FOR 1951. This is most urgent and important. Board of Trustees NEWBERRY SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. I 3! ' The total membership was up 2,950,987 over the previous year. The figures were reported last night in an annual survey com piled by the Christian Herald magazine. Protestant membership rose 1,- 409,059 to a total of 50,083,868, an increase of 2.89 per cent over the previous year. Roman Catholics increased 859,- 784 to a total of 28,470,092, up 3.1 per .cent. Jewish congregations, on which there were no new statistics, re main listed 5,000,000. The magazine, which makes the only comprehensive, regular survey of church membership in the United States, said ‘the ma jor faiths continue in about the same proportion to each other’. “Persons not belonging to any church now make up 44.1 per cent of the population. Fifty years ago, the percentage of non members was 65.3. “The 1949 overall gain in mem bership was 2,426,723 and the 1948 gain was 2,190,264—both less than the 2,950,987 of 1960^ Commenting on the 1950 gains, however, the report said: “There was no spectacular turning to re ligion, no spiritual upheaval. Re ligion fought for every foot of gain; there were no easy, sweep ing advances. But there was a continuation of even growth.” Southern Baptist, which added 818,624 members in 1950, had the biggest gain of any single Protest ant denomination. The report said Southern Baptist, with 7,079,- 889 members, now is the “fastest growing denomination in the United States” and within ten years “may well be our largest.” The Methodist church still Is the largest Protestant denomina tion. Its membership rose 143,078 to a total of 8,935,647. Its mem bership gain was the second highest.” Devout churchmen will pon der the 44 per cent out of the church more than the 55 per cent within the fold. It is obvious that if we who are the 55 per cent were full of the spirit and aflame with the zeal of the believers at Pentecost We should soon have many of the 44 percent enlisted and active. Perhaps many millions of us who are on the books are not enlisted; if enlisted. In a military sense, we are so far in the rear of the marching hosts of the church militant that the army of the Lord doesn’t know us ex cept on pay-day; that is, the day when we collect, not when we pay. Religion is our greatest inter est, though often it faMs to be our chief concern. The only en during interest is religion. We, all, shall die. No argument de nies that. But that religion which doesn’t mean anything until old age and infirmity sober us from the intoxication of living fails, as it might have sweetened and en nobled the days of striving amid “the madding crowd’s ignoble strife.” ' I do not know how soon the in creasing cost of everything will make necessary an increase in the cost of city bus operation and electric power in this State. I have no figures on which to base an opinion, but I’ve read that bus rates are higher in many heavily congested cities than here. As is known, the big Bus Compan* s which operate throughout our state have increased their rates three times in six years, fche most recent increase being put on with in recent weeks. As to what we call electric • current, it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars more when water is so low and taxes are so high. A company with millions invested in hydro electric plants which must now use coal or oil because water is very low, obviously is operating at heavy additional expense. Be cause Santee-Cooper is a great hydro-electric development, draw ing its power from the water cov ering 176,000 acres, I asked Chairman James H. Hammond if the low water has affected San tee-Cooper. When water is high Santee-Cooper can sell great loads of secondary power, but when water is very low, as it has C. P. Hewitt, formerly Chief In spector of the City of London Police, recently talked in the BBC’s General Overseas Service about the fiftieth anniversary of Scotland Y a r d's Fingerprint Bureau. It was demonstrated long ago that the chances of two persons having identical finger prints was about one in sixty- four thousand million, for not even the fingerprints of identical twins are alike. The ridge for mation is complete at a very early stage of pre-natal develop ment and remains unchanged throughout the longest life. Fingerprints can be destroyed if both outer and inner skins of the fingers are removed but . they grow again exactly as before. Although fingerprinting is only fifty years old officially it has been used since very ancient times. Inspector Howitt men tioned the record of the first century Roman murder .trial in 'which an imprint from the palm of a bloodstained hand was suc cessfully used to identify the mur derer, for palm and foot-prints are as individual as fingerprints. The Chinese used fingerprints as signatures to valuable documonts in the seventh century and there are thumb prints in Chinese clay seals that are a thousand years older. There is no satisfactory proof that fingerprints were used to identify criminals until the time of Sir William Horschel, and Dr. Honry Faulds. These two men, unkown to each other, worked from personal theories and dis coveries towards the realisation of the criminological value of fingerprints. Herschel used them in India to identify native con tractors and pensionors who tried to swindle him. Yet this use of fingerprints to identify pensioners was not fool-proof. There’s a story about one illiterate labour er in government service who had been penioned of, and who signed for his weekly pension payment with a thumb-print. This went on for so long that a vigil ant official investigated and found that the pensioner had been dead for forty years and “the most valuable heirloom possessed by his grateful family was grand father's mummified but still quite serviceable thumb.” The Joint discoveries of Herschel and Faulds made little stir at Scot land Yard at first, largely be cause of the difficulty of classi fying prints for filing purposes but when the researches of Francis Galton led to the setting up of a satisfactory system of classification the process was adopted at the Yard. Today there are over a million sets of finger prints in the main collection, and may thousands of new ones are received each year, while between the wars Chief Inspector Battley devised a remarkable sys tem of classification by which one fingermark was sufficient for an identification of greater cer tainty than ever before. It is perfectly easy both to take and to see fingerprints taken by rolling fingers and thumbs on an inked plate but it is vastly different to develop them and find them at the scene of the crime. This includes treating the surface with powders so that “latent” prints become visible. Light grey powder brings up sweat prints on dark surfaces, glass, and silver, while black graphite powder is used for white surfaces, china, paper and so on. Even fingerprints on cloth can be photographed if the cloth is stretched over the mouth of an “insufflator” and powder blown through it, for some powder adheres to the cloth in the for mation of a finger impression. Most criminals regard Scotland Yard’s Fingerprint Department with profound distaste but, al though fingerprints can be used to convict a criminal without any doubt, they can equally well be used to remove blame from someone wrongfully suspected.
