CHARLESTON, - Craiu: More-
head, son of Mr. and Mrs. A.
E. Morehead, 1122 Pope St.,
Newberry, S. C. was presented
the coveted Mark Clai'k Award
by Gen. Hugh P. Harris, pres
ident of the Citadel, recently at
graduation exercises marking
the end of the first IDtiT session
of The Citadel Summer Camp
for Boys. This award is given
for excellence in sports, phys
ical fitness, tournaments, man
ners, and attitude.
The camp was founded in
1957 and ium been a pattern
If you love old things but have
no hankering to hang around
country auctions or paw through
musty junk shops, you can create
your own antiques.
All you need is a little imagi
nation, a few pieces of unfinished
furniture from your local paint,
discount or department store,
and one of the new antiquing
kits. You might start with some
thing easy, like a bench or small
table with good, authentic lines.
Once you’ve conquered these,
however, you’re ready for more
complicated pieces — chests, cre-
denzas, breakfrouts.
You’ll be amazed at how sim
ple and how much fun it is- and
how much money you can save.
With one of Acme’s “Line An
tiquing” kits, for example, the
whole procedure is reduced to a
speedy two-step process.
Once the piece has been cleaned
and lightly sanded to make the
paint adhere more smoothly,
brush on the base coat. Then, fol
lowing a 24-hour drying period,
apply tin* glaze coat and wipe
while it’s still tacky. That’s all
there is to it.
Of course, if you want to make
the piece look really old, you can
“distress” the wood surface by
making random scratches with
the point of a nail, dents by
pounding it with pieces of broken
walnut shell or crushed rock: do
this after putting on the base
coat but before you add the glaze
and the result will be a fine “heir
loom” appearance.
Fine Antiquing kits are now
available in 12 vibrant conti
nental colors, including Grecian
Gold, Morocco Red, Minoan
Bronze and Sicilian Green, to
give just the proper accent to the
Mediterranean-style furniture so
popular today.
The kits come complete with
all the necessary equipment
brush, sandpaper, wiping cloth,
stirring sticks and instructions
as well as sufficient base coat and
color glaze to finish two chairs or
an average-sized chest or table.
And once you get started, fur-
EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED
AND AVOID AN ACCIDENT
A driver who makes a habit
of expecting the unexpected
seldom gets caught in a danger
ous traffic situaton and con
sequently is a safer and better
driver, the State Highway De
partment suggests.
Studies of accidents have
shown that blind curves, hill
crests, and simlar places where
sight distance is reduced, often
are locations of serious crashes.
A motorist who tops a steep
rise suddenly only to find the
road blocked must take a quick
evasive action if he is to avoid
an accident. He may try to pass
on the left if there is room and
no oncoming traffic. He may
steer off the road on the right
if there is no ditch, signpost or
tree there, or he may have to
skid directly into the obstruc
tion in his path.
How could this dangerous si
tuation have been avoided ? The
Highway Department suggests
that it’s wise to drive at a speed
which will allow the vehicle
to be “braked” to a stop quickly
if necessary.
Wide open highways like the
Interstate system highways
provide an extra margin of
safety through divided lanes,
gradual curves, and good ver
tical alignment. Older roads do
not have these built-in safety
features and the wise driver
will keep this in mind.
The Highway Department is
busy with a “spot improve
ment” program to reduce poten
tially hazardous locations. With
nearly 34,000 miles of roads in
the state system it is impos
sible to eliminate every “dan
ger spot”. But the work goes
on.
Meanwhile, it’s a good idea
when driving to expect the un
expected.
Insuring Automobiles
NEW YORK—Americans, in
order to protect themselves
against financial loss brought
on by automobile accidents,
purchased insurance with pre
miums totaling about S8.3
billion in 1965, according to
the Insurance Information In
stitute.
for other youth-development
programs across tiie nation.
Physical activity througa the
medium of sports receives pri
mary emphasis, but the pro
gram accents basic principles
of duty, patriotism, honor, and
religion.
During the first session of
The Citadel Summer Camp for
Boys, Craig Morehead received
the Senior Tennis championship
award and the Senior Handball
championship award. He is now
a junior counselor for the se
cond 1967 session of the camp.

niture isn’t the only thing you’re
likely to antique: doors, shutters
and panel wainscoting all gain
new character when undercoated
and glazed.
Everybody’s doing it and any
body can, so why not get into the
swim?
