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.

from the adult contract drivers.
Only 110 adult drivers remain
and the Educational Finance Com

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

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

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.
