The unreasonable weather was
blamed for thirteen deaths over
the state, but despite extremely
hazardous driving conditions, no
fatalities were attributed to high
way accidents.
During the cold weekend many
highways over the state were
closed temporarily, but most
have been cleared for traffic
with hazard warnings. Sailing,
raffic jams and minor accidents
slowed all activity locally, as
cancelled bus and plane flights,
along with the extremely dan
gerous highway conditions IN
terrupted plans of many for
Christmas holiday travel.
AS the snow first began to pile
Up Friday afternoon, children
took to their sledS as parents
started making preparations to
tight off the hazards of the ex-
IRENE conditions. A run on auto
mobile chains quickly depleted
all stocks in the area, but some
dealers were able to restOck Sat
urday to partially fill the de
mand.
Highway Patrol officials re-
ported no serious accidents thrOu-
Oh Sunday, but traffic in this
area was still near stalled. One
trailer truck was reported to
have jack-knifed on a hill bet
ween Durant and Lexington and
several were reported to have
slid off the highway between
Lexington and Tchula, all on
Highway IL.
The Patrol is urging all traf-
.fic to stay off the highways ex-
cept in emergencies, and warned
of the danger of people becoming
stranded for long periods OF time.
They also pointed out the dangers
of carbon monoxide poisoning as
occupants continue to run their
stalled cars in order to keep
heaters going.
The Greenwood Highway Pat
|rol District described that area
as Just terrible 1t sleeted for
several hours before snow be-
gan. A major portion of the Del
Ia was covered with the sleet
and snow.

hurrelson Resigns
AS Mart Manager

r. c. Harrelson resigned MS
manager of the Horny County
Farmers Market Friday night.
His resignation becomes ef-
fective at the end of the cur
rent pepper season.
The Horny County Market
ing Commission announced
that hencefort the market will
not have a full-time manager
but will be managed by a man
working only during produce
seasons.
Tom Stanley, chairman of
the commission, said that to
date no successor has been
chosen.
Under Harrelson's manage
ment. the market progressed
healthily. He assumed his dut-
les here March 10, 1862 and
during that Spring the market
sold 49,790 packages of pro-
duce putting Sl90,l82.7O into
the pockets of farmers.
OF these 8,345 crates OF
strawberries brought S48,l82,-
80; 35,l69 packages of pole
beans brought Sll2,l93.95; D.
582 packages of bunch beans
brought S6,708.55; 8,S46 pack
ages of pepper brought Sl8,-
546.50; 1888 packages of Gu
cumbers brought S2,4lO.45; L.
467 packages of squash brought
l,797.40 and 1873 packages of
Wade beans brought S353.55.
The market also did well in
the Fall of 80 with 2,264 pack
ages bringing farmers S9,439.-
40. These consisted of GOA
packages of squash at S8l5.4O:
1854 packages of pole beans at
S8,578.50; II packages of Gu
cumbers at $3.50: four pack
ages of peas at $40 and five
of pepper at $40.
The total for the year was
Sl99,622.lO.
To date 1863 has been a poor

year for produce, with farmers
getting only half a normal
yield. Pole beans that usually
produce about 400 bushes per
acre, did well this year if they
produced 200 bushels per acre.
and quality has been unusually
low due to early drought.
However, through June the
market had sold 2O,l82 pack
ages of produce to put $685.
35l.95 into farmers pockets
and July has been an unusual
ly busy month So far, with a
good run of pepper and some
pole beans.
Equally important with get
ting good prices for produce
brought to the market for far
mers, HarrelSon put the mark
et on firm financial founda-
ton.
In 1862 for the first time in
its history, the market praC-
tically paid its own way, show
ing a net operating loss OF
only S3.023.44.
Prior to that losses at the
market had ranged from Il hign
og Sl4,309.54 in l959-6O to Il
low of S4.l36.ll in l9G0-6l.
In 1862 the market showed
income of Sll,4G7.23, of which
S9,l2l.97 came from commits
sions and the balance from
rentals etc.
In auditing the l96l-62 ac-
counts, Bell and Bell. auditors,
commented that the markets
books and records were found
much improved"
HarrelSon indicated he might
remain in Loris, entering the
contracting business. Prior to
operating the HenderSonvil,c

four years before coming to

Curb Market
Is Proposed
For Beaches

Folks at Myrtle Beach are
hunting for a suitable site for

Horny County Marketing Com
mission and the Horny Coun-
" Development Board for that
area.
The project has been pro-
posed by the marketing COM
mission as much as two years
ago and recently won the at
tention of the development
board.
Al recent meeting in Myr-
tie Beach with Chamber of
Commerce officials and mcmb-
ers of the delegation, the pro-
pOSal was aired thoroughly and
committee named to invest
igatc several potential loca-
tons for the market.

marketing commission explain
-
farmers if facilities were avail
able for marketing produce in
quantities smaller than that re-
CURED by the LorIS market.
He pointed out that buyer,

crop. However they frequently
would plant less acreage of
various crops if assured Of an

Representative Lloyd Bell
cited the benefits 70 both the
beach area business establish
ments and 10 the inland farm
erS. Hotels, motelS and stores
would find a ready source OF
fresh vegetables. and many
firms would be patroniZed by
the farmers who sold on the
market, thus generating extra
business for the merchants.
Rep. Bell also saw the market
as unifying force in the CO.
unity.

Board. outlined the boards

grown" industry and the slim

A Serious Study

The publisher Of the
forthcoming biography.
Elizabeth Taylor" has de-
scribed the book as "a seri-
Gus study and one that we
think will last"
Its not meant to it'll
late" said Theodore Purdy,
editor in charge Of the book.
Its a balanced, sensible
account Of what makes her
tick"
Contrary to reports by
Miss Taylor's secretary, who
said the actress has no in
terest in reading the book,
Appleton said final galleys
are in Miss Taylor's hands
and that some changes may
be made II the actress
wishes.
Mr.. Purdy also said the
author, Ruth Waterbury,
has known the actress for
many years, having met her
as a child star, then on and
off in the course Of Miss
Taylor's career, and that
Miss Waterbury knows Els
abeth's parents and many
people connected with the
star.
He added that Miss Wa
terbury started the book
shortly after Elizabeth's
marriage to Eddie Fisher,
before her romance with
Burton. "She thought she
was a fascinating subject"
Mr.. Purdy said.

topped with boleros. But
otherwise the Paris collec-
lions are full of startling
colors with a lot of pink.
Dior, Laroche, Capucci, they
all have pink in every shade.
Laroche even marries it with
beige for coats, which does
look pretty and young. Ac-
tually Laroche sees every
thing in pink and pretends
that this color makes the
men smile. Should be worth
a try!
New and amusing is the
mixture Of dressy dresses
with tweedy, bulky coats. No
new special evening coat is
required. The thick coat goes
with the thin dress under
meath and even the long eve
ming dresses, that appear
everywhere and are most
sophisticated with blouses
and embroidered jackets, are
covered with q long wool
coat. It may be reversible,
one side being mink, Of
course.
The evening dresses are a
Joy. Mostly ankle long, they
give way to every fantasy.
There are no full skirts, but
boleros, jackets and blouses.
Only Balmain has some
strapless beauties, very ro-
mantle and wearable.
Among all the new Paris
collections two Spaniards,
Ferreras and zabaleta, have
