Trick Or Treat Hazards Great, Music Club Is Award Winner Mrs. Pinckney Abrams and Mrs. Warren Cousins, president and immediate past president respect ively of the Newberry Music Club, attended the annual fall meeting of the South Carolina Federation of Music Clubs on October 15 at the Hotel Columbia in Columbia. Following the general business meeting during which proposed changes in the constitution and by laws of the federation were ap proved unanimously. Mrs. Abrams attended the Club Presidents’ Council meeting and Mrs. Cousins attended the Board of Directors’ meeting. It was announced that the State Convention of the South Carolina Federation of Music Clubs will be held May 4, 5 and 6 in Spartan burg. The highlight of the meeting for the Newberrans came when Mrs. Jack Ward, state president, of Greenville, presented an Award of Merit for Outstanding Partici pation in the Celebration of Na tional Music Week by the Nation al Federation of Music Clubs. The Newberry Music Club is very proud of this award and wishes to express appreciation to the local newspapers and radio station for the excellent publicity which was a great factor in making National Hallowe’en will present special dangers to motorists, according to Chief Highwfey Commissioner Claude R. McMillan of the State Highway Department. “Countless youngsters will be out for several hours on the even ing they have looked forward to for a long time, and they’ll be garbed in white goblin sheets, black witches’ cloaks and costumes of all sorts—many of them with masks which prevent seeing clear ly,” Mr. McMillan advises. “These youngsters will be so ab sorbed in the fun of ‘trick or treat’ that they may forget to ex ercise the caution they ordinarily use when going to or from school,” he added. “Motorists therefore must adopt a more solicitous attitude toward these juveniu ■'’un-makers, remem bering they themselves once were kids,” he added. “What disturbs state officials even more is the inclination of a comparatively small percentage of older youth to make Hallowe’en the excuse for pranks which can prove dangerous to drivers,” Mr. McMillan pointed out. He urged that would-be vandals resist the temptation to deface highway warning signs, to twist stops signs or remove them, or to place obstructions of any sort in a roadway. “Such interference with regula tory aids for the efficient move ment of traffic cannot be counten anced with any mercy,” he added. “When lives are at stake, those who gamble with the safety of the driving public are setting the stage • for tragedy. These occur ences are rare, but even just a few—even one—could have tragic consequences.” The Highway Department urges motorists to place themselves on the “treat team” rather than the “trick team” of drivers. Music Week such a success in Newberry last spring. The Club also appreciated the co-operation of Mayor Ernest Layton in pro claiming National Music Week in Newberry. ' Voting Issue Is Important To County Citizens By W. D. WORKMAN in The Greenville News NEWBERRY—Newberry Coun ty voters will have an especial stake in the Nov. 8 general elec tion, but few of them now seem aware of it. > Afnong t h e n i n,e proposed amendments to the South Caro lina constitution which will be up for popular decision on that date is a proposal aimed at clearing the way for future slum clear ance and redevelopment work in | Newberry. Mayor Ernest H. Layton says no specific program^ are planned at this time but the city authori ties want to be prepared in case the administration does decide to undertake an urban renewal pro ject. Accordingly, City Attorney (and retiring State Senator) R. Aubrey Harley this year sponsor ed a constitutional amendment as a first step toward establishing a legal basis for such a project. A constitutional amendment is necessary because .the State Su preme Court four years agp inval-. idated a Columbia program of ur ban redevelopment. That Columbia program ran afoul a constitutional provision that private property may be condemned only for pub lic purposes. • Since the Columbia plan, like most urban renewal projects, look ed to the possibility of subsequent resale of developed property to private as well as public agencies, the court ruled it to be unconsti tutional. But even while ruling the Co lumbia plan unconstitutional, the Supreme Court hinted at a way Tricksters of the road, he said are those who merely slow down for stop signs, run traffic lights follow others too closely, refuse to dim for approaching cars at night, weave from lane to lane, or dare others to race them on the road. “Every driver should treat fal low motorists with respect, treat his passengers to comfortable rides, and treat his own God-given life as a gift worth protecting, he declared. IN SOUTH CAROUNA YOU FAY *118 TAX ON TEN GALLONS OF GASOUNG! HOW DID YOU VOTE? No matter how you voted, these facts on gasoline taxes are Important to you: • Everywhere in South Carolina, car owners pay $1.10 tax on every 10 gallons of gasoline they buy! • Gasoline taxes across the nation amount to a 50% sales far—and that’s five times as high as the tax rate on luxuries like diamonds and mink coats! National Increase 1950-1959 Gasoline Tax Living Costs* GASOLINE TAXES UP 51% IN TEN YEARS • Since World War II, there have been three increases in the Federal gasoline tax alone. This brought the Federal tax to 4 cents a gallon, in addition to the State tax of 7 cents a gallon! • In the last ten years gasoline taxes have sky rocketed 51% —yet the price of gasoline itself has risen only 5.5% during the same period! • Each year the average motor vehicle owner in this state pays $89 for gasoline taxes alone. That’s just a few dollars less than the average week’s pay for most people! HIGHWAYS AND ' GASOLINE TAXES Your gasoline retailer, naturally, favors construction of the roads that the motoring public needs. He believes in fair and reasonable tax ation for this purpose but feels that taxes on gasoline have now reached unreasonably high levels. He also believes that all special taxes on the motorist should be used only for highway purposes. Yet, in this state, a significant part of highway-user taxes are diverted away from high way uses. In addition, last year, out of every automobile tax dollar col lected by the Federal Government from highway users, more than 40 cents went tor non-highway pur poses. If these automotive tax reve nues were dedicated for highway purposes, there would be no need for the latest increase in the federal gasoline tax. The Gasoline You Buy Is Taxed Too HIGH! In public Interest by the Gasoline Tax Education Committee, 575 Lexington Avenue, New York 22, N. Y. out of the dilemma by saying: “It (the redevelopment plan) might of course, be authorized' by an enabling amendment of the Constitution, which is the course that has been followed in some other states . . Accordingly, the Newberry leg islative delegation succeeded in passing a joint resolution which,- will submit this question to the voters in the general election: “Shall Section 17 of Article 1 of the Constitution ... be amend ed so as to permit the use of the power of eminent domain by in corporated municipalities or hous ing"^ or redevelopment authorities in Newberry County for the pur pose of slum clearance, and re development work in areas of Newberry County which are pre dominantly slum or blighted, in order to acquire and' clear such areas, to prepare the same for re-use and for sale or other dis position to private enterprise for private purposes or ‘ to public bodies for public purposes?” FEW CITIZENS AWARE A sampling of opinion in the City of Newberry discloses that few citizens are aware of the pro posed amendment, or of its in tended effect. The forthcoming referendum has none of the at tributes of ,a civic issue in the sense of having well-defined pro ponents and opponents, although a few individuals professed some concern over changing the' law so as to permit the sale df condemn ed property to private interests. Frank Armfield, publisher of The Newberry Sun, and a mem ber of citj^ council, was not 'm- thusiastic over the proposal, re calling that about a year ago council had decided against a low- cost housing project. That de cision was based at least in part on the failure of two earlier pro jects of somewhat sim.Tar nature to sustain themselves. He bore out Mayor Layton’s con tention that the pending amend ment is simply aimed at getting enabling legislation so that future projects, if agreed upon by the city fathers, would not be blocked by a legal obstacle. Mayor Layton, a local busi nessman now in his second term, said the amendment should be approved to pave the way for future redevelopment work if such be needed. He spoke of “educating the people” as to the need of the enabling legislation as a part of carrying out an optimistic program of community development. “We have some great plans for Newberry,” he said, “and we want to get everything ready in case we want to go into this sort of program.” \ A series of breakfast meetings and other educational efforts are being made, he added, to “put the people in the right attitude.” For the amendment to be adopt ed, it must be approved by a ma jority of the voters throughout the entire state, even though it is classed on the election ballot as a Newberry County item. Two years ago, a similar pro posal was made for Charleston and Spartanburg Counties. It ■was approved by Spartanburg voters and by the state at large, but Charleston citizens voted against the amendment. It was never ratified, despite recurring efforts of Spartanburg legislators to have that final action taken during the last* General Assembly.

Bradley had this to say about “Education and the Soldier*’: “In the Army, as in any career or profession, a man’s value is multiplied by his education. Schooling assures the good sol dier, the competent officer, a bet ter chance to get ahead. It helps a man win promotions, more pay,, and advancement.” , ; “•Because education benefits the man, who in turn benefits the Array, we hope that his schooling will not be interrupted any soon er than necessary for him to en ter the Service. Eager as ws are to have men in the Army, we don’t want to pass up their oppor tunities for education* We want volunteers who will take pride in being soldiers, but we want them after they have gone as far as they can in school.” . - ; . “A better educated - soldier is a better soldier; more useful/ to his country, more useful to MpiBSlf.? This quotation aptly expresses the Army’s longstanding policy to encourage young people to com plete their high school education* and then go on 'to college if at all possible. Bearing this in mind, the United States Army urges every young American to plan his career as early in life as prac ticable, and then work toward the accomplishment of his ambition by completing his educatibn Und taking full advantage of career training opportunities. This policy is followed because the Army is convinced that young people will serve themselves and mm • their Country better by obtaining AOTllAg ranYirmim formal education be- ^" fore starting out in their life’s work. Not only will they make better soldiers and Wacs if they join the Army, they will make better citizens, which is even tnow': important, v The ^rmy*^ Graduate, Specialist Program which guarantees a high school. graduate his choice of Army Specialist Schooling before enlistment is, only one of the many examples of the advantage to maximum educatioh in the Service. ml'-’ 1 Col DEE2> I TRANSFERS Newberry No. 1 v.* R.
