gratitude and affection and best
wishes of all those in South Carolina

their lives.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY
STATE BOARD CHARITIES

Whereas, this board learns from
his excellency Governor R. A. Coop,
er of the resignation Of Rev. 2. T
Cody, D. D., and Mr. L. E. Carrigan
who have served continuously as
members of the State Board of Char
tiles and Corrections since the or
ganization of the board, and where
as both of these members Of the
board have been tireless in their un-
selfish attitude to the duties of the
board and have made very conspicu-
Gus contributions to it's success,
thereby, be it resolved:
First: That on behalf of the State
of South Carolina we record our ap-
probation for the service of these
two. leaders and our gratitude for
their achievements in connection
with the manifold work of this board.
Second. While we regret their en-
forced resignation from the board
me rejoice that the State of South
Carolina will still have the benefit of
their leadership.
Third. That copies of these reso-
lutions be furnished the retiring
members, his excellency, Governor
R. A. Cooper and the press.

| In keeping with the war depart

terial not needed for it's own work,

dred tractors, formerly used for
hauling heavy guns, will be transfer
red to the department of agriculture
as soon as an inventory has been
completed.
Aside from their economic value
including lowering of food prices, en-
hancing property value, bringing the
farmer closer to city, and to his
neighbor, and stretching the business
radius Of towns and cities-the
building and maintenance of good
roads could be more than financed
by the saving to the operators of au-
tomobiles and trucks, declares the B.
F. Goodrich Rubber Company.
| A test conducted in Ohio recently
to determine the saving in gasoline
| from running over a good road as
compared with was consumption over
bad, medium grade roads, disclosed
a surprising difference. With five
new army standard "a" trucks with
seven different types of road service,
showed a gain of six miles per gallon
of fuel between the best and worst
types of roads. All the trucks were
empty during the test. The trucks
loaded showed that the poor road
took seven times as much gasoline
Iper mile as the good one.
The test results showed an aver
age of 5.7S miles per gallon over a.
dirt in good condition, 7.19 over fair
gravel, 9.38 over good gravel, about
the same over fair bituminous ma
cadam and good brick roads, 11.44
over extra smooth brick and 11.78
over good concrete.
The saving to motoring public in
gasoline alone would amount to mil
lions of dollars annually. Perhaps
equal to this would be the saving in
tires, which is considered as an i'm
portant item of car upkeep, as is
gasoline. Calculating the saving in
wear ard tear on the mechanism Of
cars and trucks and also the item of
time lost by poor roads, adequate
| highways are undoubtedly a sane in
Ivestment.
