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
