Sees Solution To Congestion On Highways AKRON, O.—If every car and truck owner in the state of South Carolina tried to go for a ride on the same Sunday afternoon, there would be a vehicle every 8 yards on every paved street and highway in the state. Fortunately, the odds are against this happening, since the average motorist spends only about 25 “days” a year in his car, according to James J. Newman, vice president of the B. F. Good rich company. He points out that estimates of American automobile usage and driver habits show that the aver age motorist drove 9,000 miles last year. At his average pace of 30 miles an hour, this totals 300 hours, or 25 daylight driving days. This is only 6.8 per cent of the daylight hours in a year, he says. Newman says that the state’s motor vehicle registration today is at its highest mark in history and will probably reach an esti mated 687,000 early this year. Hard-surfaced road mileage in both rural and urban areas of the state is 3,098, which is also a new high, he says. He reports that drivers through out the nation feel traffic jams are responsible for the loss of mil lions of dollars in wasted time alone. Newman says B. F. Good rich estimates a national increase of 12,000,000 car and truck regis trations to bring the Ration’s total to 65,500,000 motor vehicles by 1960. This, he points out, seems to leave little chances for an early let-up in today’s traffic con gestion. Newman, former chairman of the Inter-Industry High Safety Committee, says he believes that the nation’s traffic problem could be solved if authorities start to work now on an expanded national highway program, improved park ing and unloading facilities, and revisions of outmoded traffic sys tems and regulations.

State Houst Steps (continued from page one) they began taking over in 1951 from the adult contract drivers. Only 110 adult drivers remain and the Educational Finance Com mission had planned to cut the number to 10 this year. Student drivers receive salaries of $25 per month; adults, $75. The state is paying out $690,000 in drivers’ salaries in the current fiscal year* and expects to pay $776,250 in 1953-54, when the num ber of buses in operation will be increased to S.JSO.

In Memoriam * In sad but loving remembrance of our dead husband and father, J. I. Amick, who departed this life one year ago today, January 28, 1962: One long, sad, lonely year has passed. Since our dear loved one went to rest; It was so hard to give him up But our Lord knew what was best. A precious one from us has gone A voice we loved is still A chair is vacant in our home That never can be filled. The loneliness in our hearts Is all we can bear We miss you more each day, Dad, Since God called you-to his care. You are not dead—not lost, But gone on before, You live with us in memory And will forevermore. God needed another angel To worship before his throne. So, He looked down from-Heaven, And called our loved one Home. One year has passed since that sad day When our loved one was called away, God took you, it was his will But your memory lingers still. More and more each day we miss you Friends may think the ..wound is healed But they little know the sorroV That lites in our hearts concealed. Yes, God took you Home, it was- His will And in our hearts your memory liveth still. But only a star shines over the grave Of the one we loved and could not save. Wife and Children 39-ltc The Educational Finance Com mission reports a “substantial de crease” in operating costs since the state took over the school bus system and employed student drivers. Cost of operating the buses has been cut by 14 per cent, while the number of pupils transported has increased 25 per cent. The state-wide cost per pupil transported hi 1951-52 was only $16.94, compared with $24.77 in 1950-51. The overall school bus system operation is costing the state $4,- 000,000 in 1952-53. The sum of $3,175,000 is being asked for the 1953-54. In addition, the governor has asked an appropriation of $1,- 500,000 for new buses. Governor Byrnes is known to favor student drivers. In fact, he has recommended that their sal aries be increased from $25 to $35 a month. Student drivers don’t cost the state as much as adult drivers. In most cases, they are youngsters who need the money. On the same day of the school bus crash and in the same fog, a woman was killed in a three-oar pile-up near Georgetown. Every body involved in this wreck was an adult, but no one paid much attention to it in the excitement over th% bus crash. Despite the bus accident, traf fic experts hold that high school drivers have a better record than their elders. Drivers can obtain licenses at 14 if they pass South Carolina’s rather stiff requirements. Analysis of accidents has shown that the group from 14 to 18 has a better safety record than the group from 18 to 26, or the group from 25 to 40. Thus, it would seem that as a safety factor student drivers are more desirable than adults. We can’t help feeling that after the Initial furor over the accident has died down, the legislators will decide to give the kids another chance. 3 __ . > \: • i RH lip* ± ? r • ;-->s vr: ; --A JEWELS -/JOY ... reflect the purity of your eternal love.
