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.
