The regular meeting Of the New

grill room of the Newberry hotel,
this proving to be one Of the most
enjoyable Of the c!u'o's bi-weekly Ian

lated, which means that there was no
such thing as a dull moment during
the hour allotted to the luncheon.
Songs by the club and by the incom-
parable trio, Rotarians Earle Bab5
and Ben Do!rity and Mr.. I. L. Hicks,
who was guest of the club, We're
all rendered in true Rotarian style.
Rotarian Alan Johnstone, state
senator from Ncwberry county, made
short talk on George S. Mower. as
l Knew Him. which was a fine trio
ute to one of Newberry's best citi-
zens, who departed this life several
months ago.
An article appropriate to the
Christmas season was read by Rotar-
ian James Kinard, after which the
tuneful trio, which had by this time
been augmented by Rotarian jean HI
nard, rendered another selection.
The following telegram was then
sent. to Former President Woodrow

SUGGEST CHANGES
TRAFFIC LAWS
Greenwood Officer Writes Interesting
Letter to State Highway
Commission
The State. 90.

The State. 90.
Greenwood county highway officials
are urging the adoption OF a number
Of notifications in the state traffic
laws. especially in regard to the re-
curing of horse drawn vehicles to
have lights. B. R. Cowherd, county
engineer. has addressed letter to the
state highway department suggesting
several changes, and the department
plans to recommend to the legislature
a number Of traffic rules that It hopes
will be enacted into law
At the last session Of the general
assembly the department recommend
cd the enacting of a complete system
of traffic rules and regulations, but
the general assembly did not adopt
them.
In his letter Mr.. Cowherd mentions
TWO accidents in one week in Green
wood county, where an automobile ran
into lumber wagons after meeting
other machines in the road and dim
ming Their lights, being unable to see
the wagons on the side of the road
because Of the dinmed lights.
Mr.. Cowherd also suggests tnat all
drivers of motor vehicles De licensed
and that reasonable age be fixed for
drivers. The highway department eX-
poets to again make recommendations
to the legislature for the passage o.
numerous rules and regulations. The
department will also probably recon-
mend that county delegations provide
for adequate police forces to patrol
the roads CT the state. The depart
meu, wants the traffic laws enforced
and Will likely ask that funds be pro
v;ded for the enforcing Of rules and
regulations.
