No Easy Job - Patrol '
(Continued from page 3)
But even this was not the end of
the Patrolman's training. He had
a three months' probation period
to go through. During the first six
?weeks of this period, the new pat
rolman was assigned to an older,
more experienced patrolman. The
new one watched the older one go
about his daily tasks. He observed
the tact and diplomacy with which
he handled irate motorists ? he
was now learning by observation
and practical experience.
For the nexl six weeks, he be
came the active patrolman, and
the older one watched him. making
helpful suggestions and criticisms.
That was the end ot the test; if
the new recruit passed the proba
tion test, he was "in." At last the
training period was over. He was
given a permanent ass.gnment, a
Patrol car. and told to become an
asset to tnc Highway Patrol.
And that is the story behind the
200-odd new Highway Patrolmen
on our highways today. It is an in
teresting fact that all but one of
the new men are veterans with
excellent servic records in World
War II. (The Patrol did not stipu
late that applicants be veterans,
but the rigid physical requirements
and age limitations almost demand
ed it.)
The fact that Patrolmen are on
the force is evidence of their good
characters and reputations, their
ability to take a tough training
course and go through a probation
period.
They are on the highways of
l;iis State for one reason ? and
only one ? to serve the people by
helping to eliminate traffic acci
ier.ts and thereby save lives. Thatl
is a worthy cause ? arid the men
a ho wear the uniform of the State!
Highway, Patrol average 12 hours
a day on duty achieving that pur- |
pose. They warrant the support!

A Half-Century of Progress
The above rare photograph,
taken in 1890. shows a team of
two mules and an ox hauling a
new loom to a South Carolina
mill from the nearest railroad
point. Transportation was a big
?problem faced by southern mills
in obtaining new machinery dur
ing the 19th Century. On the
right, this latest high speed loom
on which the shuttle travels
across the cloth more than 220
times per minute, emphasizes the
high-speed era of today in which
streamlined transportation goes
hand in hand with top-speed,
easily-operated textile produc
tion machinery.
