He was graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology and turned to financial and business activities ii> which his father was engaged. He later con tracted tuberculosis, and while re cuperating, worked out some of the possibilities and problems of business forecasting. His weekly releases are used by over 400 newspapers and his financial re ports by 20,000 corporations and estates. Mr. Babson has probably done more than any other man to create among hik millions of news paper readers an interest in simple business problems, and to instill a broader vision in businessmen, en abling them to meet the ups-and- downs of the business cycle. Watch for Babson’s 1958 Fore cast in next week’s issue. SUPER HIGHWAY . . . (Continued from page 1) Mr. McEachern explained the reasons for the interstate highway, stating primarily the concern with deaths on the highway, which he cited to be approximately 40,000 in the United States last year. He stated that in comparing the ratio of cars in South Carolina with paved highways, each year, if all on paved highways at the same time, would have only 155 feet in which to travel. The international picture also comes in, he continued. “If we were involved in war,” he said, “the continent of North America would not be safe. We must have ways and means to continue trans portation.” These were the prin cipal reasons given for passage of the Federal Aid Act of 1956, by congress, a 13-year-range con struction program. In explaining the various types of highways, Mr. McEachern not ed that secondary, or farm-to-mar ket roads have been built and pav ed at a rapid pace during the past several years. He warned, howev er, that the one cent levy for sec ondary roads expires in June 1958 and that unless the general as sembly of South Carolina appro- Little Mountain No. 6 H. Clinton Amick to Thomas J. Longshore and Eva A. Longshore, 13.50 acres, $5.00 love and affec tion. Prosperity No. 7 H. M. Hentz to William S. Hentz, 94 acres, $6.00 love and affection. priated additional funds, there would be a drastic curtailment of this type of work. On Primary highways through the state, Mr. McEachern stated that fifty percent of the construc tion cost was borne by the state, the remainder by the federal gov ernment. On the interstate high way system, the government will pay 90 percent, the state 10 per cent. “This doesn’t mean too much however,” said Mr. McEach ern, “since the cost of the inter state highway is so much higher than the cost of primary and sec ondary roads.” The speaker said that there were 718 traffic deaths in 1956 in South Carolina, and an estimated $30,000,000 economic loss. The controlled access highways will be safer, he said, because all traffic would be going in the same di rections, with cloverleafs, diam onds and bridges to control entry onto the super highway. He stated that it was practically impossible to redesign the pres ently existing Highway 76 to serve this purpose; that such a project would be too costly in view of the homes and businesses already constructed along this highway. T. J. Hendrix explained the rout to be follewed. He stated that the road would go in a fairly straight line and was designed so that motorists could safely travel at 60 miles per hour. He said that the ordinary rights-of-way would be 300 feet, 150 feet on each aide of the centerline with more right of way for access sites. The high way will consist of a 10-foot pav ed shoulder for use of motorists with emergency troubles; two 24 foot lanes with about 36 feet in the center of the two lanes. The additional right of way will be for later widening the highway, if needed. There will be gentle slopes, Mr. Hendrix said, which will be plant ed and kept mowed. There will be easy grades, so that loaded trucks may move without slowing too much. He explained access to the highway and stated that access points to get on and off the high way would be, in this area, at Highway 76 South of Ballentine; at 176, the Spartanburg-Columbia road; 48, northeast of Ballentine; 202, north of Little Mountain; 773, the Prosperity-Pomaria road; 219 southeast of Newberry; 34 north east of Newberry; 19 north of Newberry; and 21, the Jalapa-Cro mer crossroad. • During a discussion period led Attractive holiday adornments for the front door, mantels and dining room can do much to bring the warm, friendly spirit of the Christmas season into the hbrnc* A triangle or crescent formed of two or three types of greens will brighten the front door. Pine, hemlock, spruce, fir, laurel, holly and scotch broom all work well here. Tie the stems together with string or wire to form the triangle or crescent. Use branches of vary ing length, with the larger foliage near the base of stem end. Add a ibow of waterproof Christmas rib- 'bon and some pine cones, berries, balls or bells for color at the stem end of the spray. by Mr. McEachern, Sen. R. Aubrey Harley stated his belief that the highway would be a good thing for the county, and would eliminate entirely head-on collisions. Officials stated that they hope to have all bids let for the road, from Columbia to Clinton, withjn a year’s time. m , ;n, : ./ A ill 4 WA K M I ST YV LITI OS W I SHI SI ;ssr; 8 BOB LISTER’S GULF SERVICE Main & Calhoun Sts.
