Mr. Kilbourne said the problems facing the Clean Roads Commit tee include the problem of educa tion, trash thrown out by Sunday drivers and tourist travelers and rural disposal of trash. The committee is composed of a group of the South Carblina Mana gers Association of the Chambers of Commerce. Mrs. Jessie Wylie, the president who presided, announced that the state managers are spearheading ah effort to have cleaner roads in the state. Chief Highway Commissioner Claude R. McMillan discussed the advantages of this activity. He -called attention to the possible in creased tourist business and the civic pride necessary to insure -cleaner roads for the Palmetto 'State. Jesse A.. Rutledge, public rela tions director of the South Caro lina Highway Department, showed the group the new type sign being erected statewide by the Highway Department as a further effort of that group to penalize the dis posals of transit trash. The state law, which carries a maximum of <100 for the littering of highways was also discussed by Mr. Rut ledge. C. W. Harrell chief of sanitation. Division of Local Health Service, discussed the land fill activities being enacted through 18 counties in South Carolina. And the ter rific health problem involved Boland To Assist In “Passage To Freedom” Operation John D. Boland, boatswain’s mate third class, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dewitt C. Boland of Little Mountain, and husband of Mrs. Juliane E. Boland of Chapin, aboard the attack transport USS Mountrail, recently arrived here to participate in operation "Pass age to Freedom”. Hundreds of thousands of loyal French and Vietnamese citizens are being evacuated from the com munist held Tonkin delta. "Passage to Freedom” is being conducted at the request of the French and Vietnamese govern ments. Ships of the Amphibious Force Western Pacific are moving, feeding, and providing medial fa cilities for the refugees. through miscellaneous dumping on public roads. The question of education of the public regarding the clean roads plan will be carried out through the joint efforts of the Chambers of Commerce, the State Highway Department, the State Chamber, and the garden clubs. The problem of rural disposal df trash will be taken up with the county commis sioners and the Grange leaders after a study of the present laws regarding a problem of this type. Representatives of the fuel oil companies and beer wholesalers were pffered an opportunity to par ticipate in an advertising plan. This plan would be the placing of trash containers (probably bags) through the courtesy of service stations, in order that the public might have more available spots for their undesirable papers, cans, etc. The beer distributors present are also considering the possibility of working with the committee along these lines. Mrs. Wylie, said further report would be made of these plans at a meeting to be held November 11 at Spartanburg.
