by the way .. By DORIS A. SANDERS During the eight-day period which ended last Saturday, I traveled about 1500 milts in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. With all this tra vel, I observed two thing--: first, that the highways of our state are unsurpassed; second that drivers as a whole seem to be much more careful than they were a few yea!'.' back. Ordinarily, on any highway, one encounters the fool.- wh- take chances with the:r lives and the lives of others. The-e were few and far between on the highways last week and perhaps this accounts for the drop, so far this year, n the death toll on South Candma Highways. People seem t" be taking seriously the highway departments admonition to he a “defensive driver watch the other fellow and anticipate w r hat he is going to do. One of my trips took me to Fort Stewart, Ga. where our National Guardsmen are under going their annual field tra n- ing. I notice that Governor M< Naii mentions that is his Cap ital Report this week. He i> not exeggerating when h< speaks of the guanb-men “sweating” it out down then because they are. Tha* is oim sticky, humid place and the mosquitos, ticks, red bug- and snakes didn’t add much pleas ure when the troops were out “in the field” for maneuvers the first few days of encamp ment. They are all back on the main post now, however, anu their discomforts are limited mostly to the humidity and the mosquitos. It was a long drive down to Fort Stewart, but the welcome by General Pinckney, Col. Lew Hoyt, commander of the 1 fiord Arty Group, Lt. Col. Jerry O’Quinn, and the other “home folks” made the ride worth while. As of Friday, all units from Newberry had received “Superior” ratings on then- performance, a fact which made Col. Hoyt ju-tifiahly proud of the unit' under h.> com mand. As noted in a recent issue of The Sunpaper, the IbMrd Group is apparently on it- way out and the General’s re ception was considered a so>t of “farewell party" for the officers of the Group. Next year, those who aren’t "elimi nated” in the reorganization will be scattered about in other units—some here, some else where. Rut the ItIMni, according to Col. Hoyt, was "going out in style.” Not only did the (Continued on page Si si '• LSI Volume ;U—Number 11 Newberry. S. C. 29108, Thursday.
