Martin, Manager Seventy three fatal accidents occurred during 1951 when motor* ists crossed the white ^center line and were driving on the wrong side of the road, a traffic ac cident study of the State Highway Department shows. This driving error was shown on the report of nearly nine per cent of the 630 fatal accidents oc curring in South Carolina during the year. Personal injuries took place in 384 cases where drivers were on the wrong side of the road, as shown in the accompanying il lustration, and property damage was counted in 748 cases. The total number of accidents which occurred because of this improper pratice* was 1205, the study indicates. In commenting on the report, Chief Commissioner Claude R. Mc Millan appealed to motorists to drive on the right side of the road at all times except when passing and never to pass other vehicles on blind hills and curves. Driving left of the center line frequently results in head-on colisions, the most deadly type of accident, Mr McMillan said. BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M.

He had him a platform up in a tree where he took his noon nap. ] passed there the other day. The house was still there. But the old oak tree that stood in the yard was gone. And strangers lived in the house. Tree houses! Where is that a country boy that hasn't built e'm! I had two. One was a sort of swinging hammock in the dense honeysuckle vines that took our scuppernong arbor. It was only about six feet off the ground. But I felt like I was up in the very sky when I hid there on hot summer days to get out of work. And I often went to sleep. There was no danger. For you couldn’t fall out. You had to climb out. My other one was away up in tht very comb of our two-story barn. There I was really up yonder, perhaps 25 feet. With great difficultly, Zeke, my colored playmate, and I carried odd boards up there. I still can’t see how we did it, climbing with one hand and toting with the other. Then holding and nailing the first foundation boards up there. But we did. And the re sult was a platform like the man had in the tree down there on Hollinshed creek. We spent a lot of time up there playing. But I never let myself go to sleep for fear of falling off. One night I dreamed I was falling from up there. And when I hit the floor I thought sure I was all broken up from the high fall I thought 1 had gotten. My, what a scare! I always thought that man was very brave to sleep up in that tree on that platform.
