The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, August 24, 1967—PAGE 3 New tag time coming soon Although many persons are still looking forward to sum mer vacations, less than three weeks remain before the S. C. Highway department begins issuing 1968 Motor Vehicle license plates. Plates traditionally are of fered to the public the day after Labor day. This year the holiday falls on September 4, making Tuesday, September 5, the first day of licensing for 1968. State officials suggest that truck and auto vehicles owners begin preparing for the annual renewal by checking on their vehicle liability insurance pol icy to make sure it is in order. South Carolina law requires proof of financial responsibil ity through insurance or other means. Also, persons who are buy ing or selling vehicles should see that all papers such as ti tle and registration are in order. Vehicle owners must verify they have paid all coun ty taxes due before licenses can be issued. There are 48 license offices, about one for each county, and they will be open from 8:30 to 5 p.m. five days a week for convenience of motor car own ers. License fees range from $3.30 to $9.30, depending on the weight of the car or truck and which class it falls in. Persons who can’t make it to a license office may order by mail by paying the extra 30c postage fee. However, mail orders are discouraged because of the inconvenience of delay should any information be in complete or in error. Forms for renewal are being placed in the mail September 1 and all vehicle owners should receive their forms before Sep tember 5. PROPERTY TRANSFERS Newberry No. 1 Louise W.

Traffic Safety Council has been asked to res pond to several billboards re ported in the Greenville area which declare “South Carolina drivers are the worst and sta tistics prove it.” The Council denies this and further states that this does not represent a true picture of the drivers in -his state. Until this past Mon- iay the Council was unable to ocate the source of responsi- oility for the posters. Jack Williams told the Coun cil that he was infuriated by careless drivers who would cut in and out of traffic, tailgate, and drive in a reckless manner and that several times recently he had been almost involved in accidents caused by careless drivers. The Council admits that drivers in South Carolina have some “catching-up” to do, but at the same time, General F. S. Bowen Jr., Executive Dir ector of the Council, says, “If it were not for the fact that our drivers were becoming aw are of the role they play in :he accident prevention pic- ;ure, the record would have re mained poor, rather than showed improvement.” Bowen continued, “ South Car Mina’s drivers are accepting the re- sponsbilities and by no means should be categorized as “the worst.” “Statistics” show the state’s death rate in 1964 was nearly the worst: S. C. ranking 49th in the nation, but latest fig ures reveal that the Palmetto state is surpassed by at least 8 other states with worse rec ords. At the present time S. C. has had a decrease from last year of about 11 per cent. As of August 14, 1967 the deaths total 494 and lav-t August 14th were 548. A MUTUAL ASSOCIATION .. This association’s assets and net earnings belong- entirely to the men, women and children who have their savings here; there are no “inside” or “outside” stock holders who receive part of the earnings—or any spec ial profit or advantage. This “Mutuality” is one of the factors that makes it possible for this association to pay a better than average return to its customers. Accounts here are non-assessable, and are always worth 100 cents on the dollar. No withdrawal fee or other penalty may be charged by the Association. You may withdraw your savings at any time without ad vance notice. There are so many benefits available by saving here, until we should like to sit down and talk with you about them. 1823 COLLBOB STBEBT, NBWBEHRY, •. C- DIRECTORS John F. Clarkson J. K. Willingham E.
