Think of your loved ones!” Years of regret cannot atone for one moment of thoughtlessness where the road crosses the railroad track! It's a life-and-death matter. STOP! LOOKI LISTEN! In these days of heavy traffic about 95% of automobile drivers will be sure that no train is approaching before crossing tracks ... Hundreds of lives are lost, thousands maimed, through the carelessness of the other 5%. The BIG FOUR advises you to cross tracks in second gear. Be doubly cautious when crossing double tracks. When one train has passed look out for one on the other track. Not only your own life, but the lives and hap. piness ol others are in your hands!

SOUTH CAROLINA SETS RECORD I IN AW ARDING PAVEMENT CONTRACTS

Just what may lie accomplished by judicious use of road funds is well illustrated in f>puth Carolina. R,. cently contracts were awarded, in one day, for the construction of Lbout 30 miles of concrete roads—a letting which probably exceeds any from the time of the Appiu.s Claudius to t present. How a small state sud, n- , South Carolina cun undertake such a remarkable project is, after all, a simple story. Some year- ago her sister state of North Carolina inaugur ated a bond L-sue road building pro-

tired by gasoline tax income. The changes that came over North Carolina were so striking and significant that South Carolina decided to do likewise. Accordingly, last year, South Carolina adopted a $65,000,000 bond issue. Tiie recent letling is the first to he made in this

bind issue program.

South Carolina’s bonds are also to he retired by the gasoline tax which, in that state, i.- six cents a gallon. At first this tax brought forth some qiitieism, particularly on the part nf those not familiar with road conditions in Soutli Carolina. But these Carolinians have determined that the six-cent gas tax i.- far less burdensome than tiie mud tax and upkeep

bill on inferior roads.

South Carolina expects to complete 0111c 500 miles of concrete pavements this year. Included in the recent letting were 22 sections of road, many of which will fill in gaps between important pavements and towns. Bond issues, similar to that of South Carolina, permit mass construction with consequent lower prices and lessened inconvenience to motorists. Because of tiie fact that bond issues
