URGES SAFETY
COURSES In AUTO
nPTVTNG

A variety of compulsory courses
dealing with the whole subject OF
safety practices on the highways of
south Carolina, as well as compre-
nensive knowledge Of the hazards
that menace everyone who travels
The roads of the State, have been pro-
posed as a regular part of the cur
.iculum of South Carolina high
schools by Prof. C. H. Waterfall oil
he department of economics of the
University of South Carolina, who be-
.ieves that therein lies the solution
% the States excessively high auto
mobile fatality record.
Citing the experience Of Evenston,
ILL.,, officials in reducing the fatality
rate of 81 persons per 100000 in
1929 to per 100000 as an example
Of what constructive effort can do,
the professor, in an exhaustive treat
4se on the situation, continued:
what can South Carolina do
about it? South Carolina high
schools should make it their business
to train future drivers. A variety
Of compulsory courses should be add
ed to the curriculum. First, years.
training should be given on the phys
les Of the automobile, teaching its
proper care, and using road cars for
Illustrations and demonstrations.
1.-THE pupils should study high
ways and their types of construction.
together with a course on traffic reg
ulations. The final course would
teach how to drive safely and why.
1.-THE value Of these courses Of
training can be shown by statistics,
which tell US that 81 percent more
accidents happen to drivers between
the ages of 20 and 80 than between
the ages of 40 and so. Surely 1t
would be better to teach those be-
tween Is and 20 scientifically than to
let them learn for themselves in the
hard school of experience. Research
along the lines of accident prevention
should be undertaken by all Of the
states in cooperation with one
another"

surveys, planning and construction;
the roads commission will provide
maps and plans, construction mater
ials, machinery and wider rights of
way, where necessary.
Slopes of both cuts and fills along
the roads selected for treatment will
be serried, drained properly and
planted, and other steps will be taken
to prevent erosion in highway bitches
and in the water paths both above
and below highway drainage struc-
lures.
Because road drainage affects large
areas of land adjacent to the rights
of way in the matter of drainage to
soils, 1t is expected the property own
ers, particularly on farms, will be
benefited by the projects. The roads
themselves also are expected to be
aided by a more efficient drainage
plan, preserving dirt shoulders and
slopes and the carrying of water from
the grades portion of the roads.
DR.. H. E. Tabler, chairman; Nath-
an L. Smith, chief engineer, and
Robert M. Reindollar, assistant chief
engineer executed the agreement for
the State Roads Commission.

CRITICISES MARYLAND ROAD
SYSTEM
Submitted by
B. Balderston.

Baltimore, Jan. 23-Blaming part
of Maryland's sharply rising traffic
accident toll on unsafe highways,
Burton w. Marsh, director of safety
and traffic engineering of the Amer
lcan Automobile Association, yester-
day declared that the State has
great opportunity before it in road
building, "if your present primary
system is recognized as inadequate
Mr.. Marsh paid visit to Baltimore
to fill a speaking engagement.
Mr.. Marsh declared that, if the
General Assembly accepts major
road Improvement program this win
ter, the State will be in position
again to assume leadership in modern
highways. He urged that such re-
construction provide for roads Of ade-
quate width for traffic they carry.
While ascribing many of the recent
accidents to unreasonable speed, the
engineer said that speed is only
dangerous in relation to other things
to drivers physically, mentally or
constitutionally unfit; to faulty cars,
and to highway hazards" He urged
a rigid police discipline to keep laws
enforced and sustained educational
movement.
Mr.. Marsh sharply criticised the
State for its present main highway
system, although he pointed out that
II cannot tell Marylanders anything
about their present roads that they
do not have to admit themselves. )
He cited the primary system as be-
ing too old, too narrow for the traf-
fic they carry, with too many curves
and dips affording inadequate sight
distances. and narrow dirt shoulder
necessitating disabled cars parking
in the path of high-speed traffic and
affording pedestrians along the high
way no safe place to walk"
Speaking of an unprecedented in
crease in traffic accidents that has
placed Maryland high among states
in crashes in the last two months,
Mr.. Marsh declared that only by
constant statistical study of accident
causes could the State discover the
major causes of the increase He
urged that police make full report
of all accidents and at the same time
tighten down on traffic lawbreakers.
Frequently" he said. 1--WE find thst
q minor physical change will elimI-
nate accidents at spots where many
have happened"

Congressman T. Alan Goldsbor-

reference to the nine counties of the

Mr.. Goldsborough has been as

PRACTICAL FARM RELIEF

For a year or more, chain stores
have been cooperating with agricul-
tural groups in campaigns to dispose
of surplus farm products at fair pric-
20 to both producer and consumer.
All Of these campaigns have been
conspicuously successful and more
are planned.
Now the representatives OF several
organizations of independent food
and grocery distributors have an
nounced similar program on a ma
fional scale for cooperative action
with producer groups ''for the order
~ marketing Of farm products"
They will work with the National
Cooperative Councils the chains
n.re also dons--in laying their plans.

Telephone Pioneers Of America re-
Gently celebrated the silver jubilee of
their organization with parties in
about ITO towns and communities
throughout the United States and
Canada, connected by a $4,000 mile
"party line" extending from st. John,
New Brunswick, Canada, to Miami,
Florida, and from San Diego, Califor-
MIA, to Edmonton, Alberta, and points
between.
Pioneering Spirit Praised
Walter S. Clifford, president of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, speaking from New York
City, praised the pioneering spirit of
the telephone men and women. 'New
generations of pioneers will live and
serve as the years go on" he said,
"and they will see changes and con-
trasts in the material and mechanical
things with which the telephone job
is done; changes in contrasts so
marked that one does not dare to pre-
dict what they may be. But this we
may predict: in the spirit-the pio-
neering spirit-of the men and women
of the telephone service there will be
no change"
Organized November 1911
Telephone pioneers are men and
women with twenty-one years or more
service in the telephone industry. The
Telephone Pioneers of America was
organized in Boston, birthplace of the
telephone in 1876, November 8, 1911.

TION ANNIVERSARY
SPEECH

Senator Morris Sheppard of Tex
as, delivered his customary Prohibi-
ton anniversary address in the Sen
ate of the United States, on January
16. The galleries were crowded and
much more than ordinary interest
was shown by his colleagues on the
floor of the Senate and by members
of the press gallery. Copies of his
speech were snapped up so that it
was difficult to secure one" Thus
reports DR.. Izora Scott, National w.
C. T. U. Legislative Representative.
Quoted from his speech is the fol-
lowing:
IAN element of the problem which
has never changed, however, and
which never will change, Is the mat
ter of alcohol. Because of its ma
ture and it's effects l arraign bevef-
age alcohol before the thought and

Il arraign it as narcotic poison.
| arraign it as a poison side by side
with morphine, OPIUM and cocaine.

stimulant. / arrange it as depres-
SAINT. l arraign it as an agent that
attacks the higher centers of the
brain and blunts the normal guides
of observation, attention, refexes,
reactions and judgments. l arraign
it as a habit-forming, will-destroying
drug. I arraign it as destroyer OF
life, reason, self-control, endurance,
skill, and moral fiber.
l arraign it as source of Grim"
and waste and human degradation.
[ arraign it as the overwhelming
cause of drunkenness and delirium.
I arraign it as promoter of disease

1.-THE American people are becom-

increasing slaughter of human being
IN which beverage alcohol plays a
continuous and ever-increasing part
They will not long continue to toler'
ate the degradation of their mos
