Good Neighbor Policy Shown As Columbia Fireman Make Call Newberry College, a few days ago, was given a very definite illustration of the Good Neighbor Policy, in domestic matters, if not in foreign affairs. Newberry had scheduled several night football games on the home field but discovered, a day or two before the first game, that several electric bulbs among those used to light the field had burned out and had to be replaced. The difficulty was that they were on top of several very high poles The college tried to find someone to climb those poles to replace the bulbs, but without success. Finally, after much discussion and several phonte calls, a ladder truck of the Columbia fire depart ment arrived at the field and, in the space of a very few minutes, the ladders had been raised, the bulbs replaced, and the field was in condition for the game. This neighborly act appears even more significant, and, in cidentally more neighborly, when it is noted that Columbia is 42 miles from Newberry. Says Driver Key To Lower Auto Insurance SPARTANBURG, S. C., Sept 28 —The driver himself must be the key factor if the rising cost of automobile liability insurance In South Carolina is to be check ed an insurance official said here today. "South Carolina automobile rates—and those in most other states—are based on a mathema tical analysis of the accidents in volving insured vehicles and what these accidents cost,” the official said. “ As long as accidents in which South Carolina drivers are involved increase in frequency and severity, neither the State Insurance Department nor the in surance companies can lower the cost of automobile insurance.” Across the nation last year, new records were set for mile age driven, number of highway accidents and the cost of repair. There were 48 million registered vehicles, driven an estimated 466 billion miles. Current costs for labor and medical care have shot up with the cost of living. It is reported that the cost of paying for traf fic accidents has spiraled by 106 percent. Average vehicle re placements which cost $100 in 1940 now cost $290. In the sam? period hospital charges has jump ed as much as 174 percent in some parts of the country. * All of this adds up to a stagger ing $3,100,000,000 auto accident bill for the nation in 1950—and most of it is paid by casualty companies writing auto insurance. In 1950, motor vehicle accidents killed 35,000 and injured 1,200,000 according to the National Safety Council. In South Carolina, the motor vehicle division of the state high way department reports a total of 571,840 registered vehicles traveled an estimated 5,986,000,- 000 miles on South Carolina roads last year. This is an increase of 10 percent for registration and 11.5 percent for mileage over 1949. These drivers were involved in 13,852 highway accidents, which resulted in 667 fatalities. They caused 5,330 injuries. Compared with 1949, this was a 23.5 percent increase in deaths, a 26.2 percent rise in injuries and a 29.3 percent jump in accidents. / The highway department esti mates these accidents ca/used $7,- 868,700 in property damage—a 24 percent increase over the previous year. “Only by preventing accidents can we hope to reduce the cost of automobile insurance,” the spokesman concluded.
