(Continued from Page 1) Three-fourths of all the rad ios sold in America last year were manufactured overseas; 95 percent of our portable rad ios were imported. Almost one- third of our television sets are foreign-made. Eighty percent of our portable typewriters were shipped in during 1969. About half of the sweaters and hand bags purchased last year by American women were manu factured overseas. Yet, millions of Americans sit idle while the working half of the population pays higher tax es and higher prices, and en dures more strikes and more protest movements. The coun try is caught in a vicious circle. It is a circle that will be broken only when, and if, the leader ship of the country realizes that the citizen who refuses to work, who refuses to produce, is a drag on the country’s stabil ity. For a generation we have tried in vain to solve our pro blems by legislation. Now it’s time we tried a little perspira tion, by putting the country back to work again. James A.

Penalty severe for sign damage The South Carolina State Highway Patrol has issued a reminder that the law provides a severe penalty for damaging, knocking down and removing traffic signs and signals. Colonel P. F. Thompson, Dir ector of the Highway Depart ment’s Traffic Law Enforcement Division said that damaging or removing a traffic sign is a very serious offense and has resulted in the deaths of several per sons on the highways during the past year. “It cannot be considered a childish prank when it can re sult in tragedy,” he said. “The 1969 legislature considered it serious enough to pass a law which says, in effect, that any person who alters, defaces, in jures, knocks down or removes any official traffic control de vice, upon conviction shall be fined not less than $1,000 or imprisoned for not less than one year, and the driver’s li cense of such person shall be revoked for a period of not less than five years. If the per son does not have a drivers li cense, he is not eligible to ob tain one for a period of five years from the date of con viction. “When a traffic sign is re moved, it creates a hazardous situation that can easily result in injury or death,” Col. Thomp son said. “If this happens the law has provided stiffer penal ties. It reads: ‘Where death re sults from the violation (of this law) by any person such person shall be deemed guilty of a fel ony and upon conviction, shall be sentenced to a term of from two to thirty years. Where in jury results. . .such person. . . upon conviction shall receive such sentence as may be deter mined by the judge.’ ” Col. Thompson said that the Highway Departments spends thousands of dollars annually replacing signs that have been knocked down, defaced or re moved. “While we deplore the waste of money and time that goes into replacing these signs, we are more concerned about the human lives that are en dangered by these foolish acts of vandalism.” “Highway patrolmen have been told to utilize every means at their command to bring vio lators of this law to justice,” he said.
