Business Holds Own In 1952; Some Segments Register Increase That new preacher oughta learn . . . all those coughs aren’t colds . . . they’re time signals. Looking over the Christmas loot, it ’pears like all the racing women do to buy gifts end in a tie. Business in South Carolina held its own in 1952 with a number of the major segments of the State’s economy registering in creases in activities over 1951, C. W. Martin, District Manager of the U. S. Department of Com merce, Charkston, reported in his annual summary of business con ditions in South Carolina. The report reflecting business trends in South Carolina showed that 1952 brought advances in bank debits, department store trade, telephones in operation, number of employees in manu facturing industries, electric power generated, urban building, cotton system spinning activity; ahd a decrease in estimated cash farm income, new business incorpora tion and southern pine, production and shipments. The textile mills reported a 2.1 percent increase in the number of spindles in place between 1961 and 1952 and a 1.4 percent in crease in the number of spindles active the last work day of 1952 and 1951. The brightest side of the busi ness picture for the year was the high mark established by the State in the production of electric energy. The increase of 26.0 per cent between 1951 and 1952 led the Southern States. Increases of residential and business tele phones were 4.9 and 11.3 percent respectively. The latter increase of which led the Southern States. Urban building authorized in South Carolina showed 0.2 percent increase in 1952 over 1951, new dwelling units for housekeeping only were valued for $35,006,000 as compared to $35,342,000 in 1952. Consumption of cotton went down 0.4 percent in South Caro lina and there was an increase of 1.7 percent in consuming establish ments, public storage and com presses at the end of the year as compared with the year 1951. The production and shipments of southern pine dropped in the State 15.9 and 21.5 percent re spectively. Department store trade in 1952 showed increases in sales of 19.0 percent in Charleston, 6.0 percent in Columbia and 6.0 percent in Greenville. Bank debits in Charl eston increased 9.6 percent, in Columbia 13.8 percent, in Spartan burg 1.9 percent and a decrease was shown in Greenville of 2.5 percent between 1951 and 1952. Bank debits for the entire State showed a 6.2 percent increase be tween 1951 and 1952.

Afimn TW Ktsttmf The summer fisherman is famil iar with the bloom of a freshwater pond, which he shrugs off as one of those things to wait out.' But when the ocean decides to break out into bloom, such as the “red tide,” he is apt to get a bit hys terical and feel sure that his fish ing is doomed. It isn’t. < Certain phases of this phenome non, which occurs in many parts of the world, kills millions on mil lions of fish. Some of them sink to the bottom. Others mass on the surface, carried by wind and tide, to form great areas of bloated de cay. \ Since the outbreak of red tide In the Gulf of Mexico in 1947, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has been carrying on a research pro ject to find out its cause, to learn how to predict its outbreak, and especially how to disperse its kill ing power. We know the sea swarms with minute organisms called dinoflag- ellates. When some combination of events changes the water,, these micro-organisms suddenly increase by the billions to disrupt the na ture of the sea. Though similar phenomenon has occurred up and down the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, it has not generally result-, ed in the killing of fish as has happened in the two recent out breaks of red tide off the south west coast of Florida. Scientists have observed, ac cording to correspondent Michael Hudoba, that red tide occurred after a period of abnormally heavy rainfall followed by a shift from offshore to onshore winds. This accumulates a mass of low-salinity water which is kept from moving seaward by the wind. In this mass there is a microbe that ex plodes into bloom and changes in to a form that is apparently poisonous to fish. The red tide disappears almost as fast as it bursts into existence. The big question is where this microbe, which vanishes when the tide disperses, can be found. The scientists have searched the Gulf EASY BY HEIER RALE TV/TERINGUE PIES will cut more neatly if you use a knife dipped in cold water. The dry meringue will not then stick to the knife to give a ragged appearance. Like a rich brown crust on sponge cakes? Sift a little bit of powdered sugar over the batter before baking. If you like dark gingerbread and have only light molasses in the house, add a small amount of melt ed chocolate to the molasses before using. Roll pastry as little as possible to get a short crust. If you use a pastry cloth and a stockinette cov ered rolling pin, this will cut down on the amount of flour necessary for rolling and give you a better crust. Be careful not. to use too much juice in fruit and berry pies as they will bubble over in the oven.

LOMINACK PATIENT IN BAPtlST HOSPITAL R. M. Lominack was admitted to the Baptist Hospital in Columbia Sunday where he is undergoing treatment. His condition is not critical. Saturday is the most dangerous day of the week in traffic. Racing enthusiasts were prom ised an action-packed evening at the Newberry Fairgrounds Speed way last Saturday night by pro moters, and action aplenty was served up for them. Some 45 stock cars from South and North Carolina were put on the track in two 15 lap heat races, a 20 lap consolation, and a 35 lap main event. A record-breaking and near capacity crowd braved the cold and threatening skies to see the season’s opener at the speedway. Several wrecks, one involving 19 automobiles,’cause the races to be concluded at a late hour. Six drivers were taken to the local hospital for examination and treatment. Most of the injuries turned out to be bruises and lacerations. All drivers were dis missed followiiig treatment. The pile-up in which the 19 cars were involved occured after. the first few laps in the main event. A crack-up involving three cars on a turn blocked the track. Other drivers approaching the crash were unable to see that the track Worst Automobile Accident Toll In History Recorded During 1952 HARTFORD, CONN.—More than two million casualties, the worst automobile accident toll in the na tion’s history, were recorded in 1952, according to figures released today by The Travelers Insurance Companies. Last year’s traffic deaths totals 37,600, an increase of 500 over the 1951 mark.'The injury count soar ed to 2,090,000, more than 127,000 over 1951, the Hartford firm re ported. The death and injury totals are highlight statistics from “Who, Me?”, nineteenth in an annual series of traffic accident data booklets published by The Travel ers. Company statisticians col lect and analyze accident facts from each state. The most dangerous mistake in driving last year was excessive speed. Speed killed 13,430 per sons and injured nearly 600,000, according to the report. Drivers under 25 years old were involved in almost 26 per cent of the year’s fatal accidents although they con stitute only about 15 per cent of the total of all drivers. More than 15,000 persons were killed and nearly 750,000 hurt in weekend crashes in 1952. Forty per cent of the deaths and 36 per cent of the injuries occured on Saturdays and Sundays last year. It was the second consecutive year of improvement in the pedes trian record. Figures from the booklet show that pedestrian casu alties were reduced by more than eight per cent in 1952. Crossing between Intersections, “jay walk ing,” still is the chief cause- of pedestrian deaths and injuries. Other facts from “Who, Me?”: Three out ‘of four 1952 auto ac cidents happened to passenger cars driving in clear weather on dry roads. 1 Eighty per cent of vehicles in volved in fatal accidents were traveling straight ahead. Saturday was the most danger ous day of the week to drive. 1952 was the third consecutive year of increase in the death toll. of Mexico from surface to bottom every month of the year without luck. They now suspect that it might be found in the rivers or in the mud of the marshes. Thus the problem of the red tide continues to be studied by the Fish and Wildlife Service. Anglers should be patient and remember that biological research is not like a comet burst, but a constant day- to-day study, often tedious and exhausting, which probes the secrets nature is so reluctant to give up. - ‘Hangmans’ Knot’, Confederate Story, Plays Wells Theatre The story of a brave band on a desperate mission they wouldn’t forsake, although every man’s hand was turned against them, is presented in “Hangman’s Knot,” the new Columbia picture starring Randolph Scott, which plays the late show Saturday night and Monday and Tuesday at the Wells Theatre. Photographed in color by Technicolor, the Scott- Brown production features Donna Reed as Scott’s leading lady. Scott, long famous as one of the leading adventure stars of the screen, is reported to give all he’s got in “Hangman’s Knot,” in which he plays a gunfighter who time after time finds himself forced to do the seemingly impos sible. As Major Matt Stewart of the Confederate Army, Scott leads a bloody raid on Union forces in Nevada territory, and captures gold bullion. When he learns that the Civil War has ended, he de cides to take the gold South to help in the rehabilitation of his defeated homeland. Miss Reed plays the role of Arrhy nurse Molly Hull. Claude Jarman, Jr. appears as young Jamie. Frank Faylen plays Cass, while Lee Marvin enacts Rolph. was blocked until it was too late to bring their vehicles to a halt. One after another the remaining cars piled in before the race could be stopped. After some time the track was cliared, and the race resumed. Near the end of the main attrac tion, the race had to be stopped again when a car driven by Mit chell Andrews of Spartanburg flip ped over several times, clearing the guard rail entirely, and plung ed down an embankment. Andrews was taken to the hospital where he was treated for cuts and bruis es. The race was stopped after An drew’s crash, still some five laps short of the 35 mark. Banks Simp son driving No. 78, who had a fairly good lead when the race was stopped, copped first prize money. Dick Wisenhouse was sec ond in the line-up, followed by Dick Joslyn, Bill Irick, and Leon Jackson, in that order. Simpson also won the second heat. Billy Franklin, driving Ollie Hawkin’s No. 19 won the first heat and placed ninth in the big event. Billy Irick driving No. 25 came in ahead of the pack in the consolation run. At the conclusion of the races, Banks Simpson and his mechanic were awarded trophies by pro moters F. J. Bland and Buddy Davenport- Another thriller is set for this Saturday night at the fairgrounds speedway. Race time is 8:15 p.m. Dorn Authors New S.S. Bill r«; * Washington, D. C.—Representa tive Wm.
