Testifying as to the collision, he said “I was traveling at a speed of between 30 and 35 miles per hour, approaching this intersec tion. I saw I had a green light and proceeded carefully trying to take into account any traffic that was in the area. Just before I entered the intersection, I saw this truck approaching south which would be to my right and I still had a green light. This was just as I entered the intersection; the truck struck the vehicle I was operating.” He continued ‘I was closer to the green light than the truck was.” Both Mr. Ryan and Mr. Mer chant testified that they were knocked unconscious by the col lision. Patrolman Martin took the stand again to testify that the traffic light had been thoroughly checked and that it was working perfectly. Dr. Foster N. Martin Jr., who examined Mrs. Wilkes after her death, said in his statement that death resulted from “fractures of the ribs, fracture of the pelvis and a linear fracture of the skull.” After hearing testimony for an hour and a half, the jury took five minutes to come to the verdict that “Mrs. Elizabeth Wilkes came to her death as a result of an auto-truck collision at the inter section of Highways Number 19 and 76 By-pass.” LUTHERAN WOMEN . . .

We visited several interesting and hictorical places, among them Columbia College, one of the old est in Columbia, which has re cently undergone landscaping of the campus and addition of new dormitories and education build ings. The next stop was the Gov ernor’s Mansion, but since the First Lady was out of town, we did not get a chance to enter. We walked around the grounds and later went to the State Peniten tiary. New rules have been pass ed so that ladies are not allowed on the grounds, but we were tak en to the death house and saw the electric chair. While our guide, Sgt. Amick was unlocking the door, we saw a big black cat under some shrubbery near the door, and wondered whether it was the same cat we read about a few months ago, walking in the death chamber and round the electric chair after an electrocution. For lunch, we went to the tall est and most modern apartment building in Columbia, “Cornell Arms” which has a cafeteria, drug store and lobby on the first floor in addition to other offices. After lunch in the cafeteria and a rest in the lobby, we rode the ele vator to the 19th floor, walked a flight of steps to the roof and made pictures from there. Our next stop was the Episcopal Church. This historical church has lovely windows and a beautiful al tar. We visited inside and at the little cemetery in which are buried some of our great statesmen, such as Wade Hampton and the famous poet, Henry Timrod. We then traveled to the birthplace of Woodrow Wilson, and our last stop was at the WIS radio and TV station. We had an engagement to ap pear on “The Specs Show” at 4:30 : p. m. Mr. Munzell introduced us to Kay Collins and we spent some time with her in her office. On the TV show, we sat around and talked “panel” style. Mazie Bissei, a native of Newberry, sang, anu Spec interviewed each of us and asked questions about our work as Home Demonstration club mem- J bers. We explained that our pz-o-, ject for two years had been c.>f- 1 Roadside Park, told him how we started it and how so many neip- ed us make it a success. We showed him pictures we had made, before we started the project, and some taken after* it was finished. He was impressed with the work, especially the little brook flowing through the park with the bridge j to walk into the park, and a iittie register case fastened on a large loblolly pine. He was curious a | to the distant places from which white accessories and a white car nation corsage. > Following the ceremony, the couple received in the vestibule of the church. They left during the evening for a trip through the Southern states. For the trip, the bride changed to a light blue taf feta princess-style dress with blue organdy duster and white acces sories.
