Courtesy And Caution
Urged During
Holidays

Courtesy and caution bundled
together will make a fine Christ
mas gift that South Carolina driv-
ers can give themselves and each
other, State Highway Commission
er Claude R. Mcmillan advises in
warning Of the dangers of care
less driving in the extended holi-
day period this year.
Last year, with Christmas on
Tuesday, 10 persons were killed
and 1875 injured in five days.
Certain fundamental practices
that should be followed the year
around are even more important
at time because of in
creased vehicle and pedestrian
traffic, the Department points out.
Among them are:
Starting early on trip, reduc-
ing night-driving to a minimum,
and stopping and resting before
you get too tired.
Checking the operation of brakes,
lights, steering gear, windshield
wipers and defrosting equipment.
Signal before turning, slowing
or stopping.
Stop at all stop signs and signals
as directed.
Watch out for children trying
out new bicycles, scooters, wagons,
and roller skates.
There are also some "don'ts"
for the holiday period:
Don't drive if you've been drink
ing.
Don't think that just because
you have your automobile under
control that you won't have an
accident. Perhaps the other driver

for the low marriage rate of the thirtes but it also
depleted our normal reserve of single girls in the
above 10 age" brackets. The result of low births
of the thires and the high marriages of the fortes
is that we have today 2,5OO,OOO fewer single
girls under 35 than we had in 1910! l. therefore
expect marriages during the next five years to be at
least 2O% lower than the recent average of IT mil
Iona loss of about 100000 marriages each year!
Never before in our history have faced such
a dismal prospect.
IMPORTANCE OF MARRIAGE TO BUSINESS
Everyone is aware of the social importance of
the institution of marriage but its influence on bus
marry, family unit is created. Separate hous-
ing is needed. This largely accounts for todays
shortage of houses to rent, and why so many new
houses are being built. In building the house. the
contractor must buy plumbing, lumber, steel, glass
cement gypsum, paper and electrical equipment The
newly married couple buys furniture, rugs. and
household accessories. There is also additional de-
mand for electricity. water and gas and usually a
bank mortgage AS babies are born, demand is Gre
ated for milk, baby foods and clothing, baby car
riages, toys and variety of other items. Thus mar
riage is most helpful to business and is an impOr-
tant reason for tOday's prosperity.
Consider then the far-reaching effect of twen-
ty per cent decline in marriages for the next five
years. This make business slump and keep it
down. We are too cOmpacent with our present high
production and high consumption standards. We pay
too little attention to the birth rates do not be-
lieve a repetition of the depression of the
thirties is necessary There things we can do
to cOunteract the coming big slump in marriages
/ might add that the draft ruling regarding
childless couples could also be helpful factor Z
will be interesting to watch how much happiness
will be affected in the long run by the recent Roman
Catholic emphasis on the subject of birth control

Factory Employment, Payolls, Ind
Working Tine In Pennsylvania
And Delaware December 1851

Employment in Pennsylvania fac
tories was unchanged from mid
November to mid-December, but
total wage payments, after declin-
ing for two months, increased 2
per cent to reach again the peak OF
the spring of 1851. Total hours of
the 1,171,O0O workers also increas-
ed slightly in December, according
to a report just released by the
Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank.
A fractiOnally longer work-week
coupled with higher hourly earn
ings increased the weekly wages to
an average of $65.66.
Textile, apparel, and leather fac
tories, which had been reducing
employment throughout most of
1851, increased the number on
their roles in December. Reopen-
ing number of mems clothing fac
tories, closed for several weeks in
November, was responsible for the
a per cent increase in the apparel
industry. Although the durable
goods division showed no change
in the number employed, such
lines as machinery including cleo
trlcal machinery, transportation

in different words in Fort Worth when he
salC: "HOw far can a government go in tax
ing away property rights and still not leave
the government the master Of the people in
stead of their servant?"
On another occasion, he observed, "If
all Americans want is security, they can go
to prison. They'll have enough to eat, bed
and a roof over their head. But if an Ameri-
can wants to preserve his dignity and his
equality as human being, he must not bow
his neck to any dictatOrial government"
1t is clear that he is a believer in sound
economy. Thus, speaking at Denver he
said, eve must have efficiency and economy
In all government expenditures. 1t would do
no good to defend our liberties against COM
muniSt aggression and lose them to our own
greed, blindness, ignorance or shiftless reli-
ance on bureaucracy and the Federal treas
ury" And on still another occasion he put
the issue this way: "The central theme of
our times is that of freedom against regi-
mentatiOn."
These quotations seem to accurately in
dlcate the Eisenhower philosophy on dOmes-
tic governmental policy. Now the question
is whether his hackers can Overtake and pass
Taft. Judging by past political precedent
the odds are against them, and any such
movement is at an obvious disadvantage
when it leader is ard will remain abroad.
The Taft strategy is to meet and talk to as
MANY people as possible, and it has paid him
handsomely. EiSenkOwers best bet is prob
ably wave of public enthusiasm which
would tilt the balance. In any event. he will
have to do very well in the primaries in
which his name is entered if he is to have
a chance.

Washington Letter - By Robert Nelson Taylor

Great Lakes only as far as Detroit.
Duluth would not. after all, become
the ocean port" which has long
been the impractical dream of her
civic boosters. Mr.. Lionel Chev-
rier, Canadian transport minister,
stated in the Canadian House of
Commons on December 4 that he
did not anticipate there would be
any important movement of ocean
vessels in the waterway; what he
did expect was that ocean cargOns
would be transshipped at Montreal
But Notwithstanding this opinion
of most of the serious students of
the subject, civic boosters of Du-
luth and Upper Lake ports have
clung to the belief the liner Queen
Mary would visit them.
There is no question, however,
that the Canadian offer would pro-
vide the waterway as far as the
Great Lakes steel centers and the
current agitation for the project
turns around the claim it is need
ed to bring down Labrador ore, on
a better competitive basis, to these
centers. SO why not let's accept
the Canadian offer and see what
traffic does develop on the water
way. If it justifies extension to the
Upper Lakes our government can
carry out the remaining work at
some future time when our Fed
eral budget is not in such bad
shane.
