IKS. 6, SEC. 2 - PLA1NDEALER - JUNE 15, 1967 Saturday Shopper Menace The Sunday driver has long been the target of jokes, but according to an insurance survey the Saturday shopper may be more of a menace. More fatal accidents occur cm Saturdays (21.6 percent) than on any other day. Sunday takes "second honors" (18.3 percent). Drivers should pay attention to traffic--not store windows. "A moment's distraction can cause a lifetime of agony." More than 52,500 deaths and 4,400,000 injuries were caused by highway accidents last year. Of these, more than 11,000 deaths and 809,000 injuries occurred on Saturdays. Tuesdays recorded the lowest number erf deaths and injuries. Passenger cars were involved in nearly 80 percent of all fatal accidents and almost 90 percent of all non-fatal accidents. Commercial vehicles, driven many more miles per year than passenger cars, were involved proportionately in twice as many fatal accidents as non-fatal accidents. Motorcycles, which constitute less than 2 percent of all registered vehicles, were involved in more than 2 percent of all highway fatalities last year. SUBSTITUTE . . .

Respectfully, McHfinry, Illinois & SON .FUNERAL HOME Spread Of Small Cities The smaHest of cities are beginning to spread to such an extent that "downtown" shopping does not offer a complete picture of goods and services available. Retailers who once paid premium rents for locations of maxi- .mum traffic in the downtown area have moved to locations more accessible to automobiles, with spacious parking areas. In a town of 8,000 the housewife may travel twenty miles to visit the major food stores or various gift shops in her community. There is probably no store she automatically passes once a week. The dispersement of retail firms has made it more convenient to shop by automobile. But because of distances and expense involved, the change has restricted comparative shopping. Consequently, the merchant, to remain competitive, is forced to find a substitute for his location of high traffic. In larger cities, the answer became apparent long ago-- increased advertising. Suburban merchants in lower rent areas realized that rental savings could best be spent for promotion. At the same time, downtown merchants increased advertising in an effort to preserve their high traffic positions. Even before the trend toward the spread of retailing to the city limits and beyohd, the local newspaper was already the place of maximum shopping traffic, ft was already the biggest rent saving device in retailing. But since foot stepping has become unnecessary, and in some cities impossible, the need for convenient shopping information in the local newspaper has become more important to both retailer and buyer. 1 ' ' rag/if- M FATHER'S DAY Ajr - JUil 18 CI IMC Mike Levine conducted a splendid €0-minute radio clinic on teen-age problems, dealing with the zooming delinquency and disrespect for authority. Respect must be taught, just like piano playing. And young people should work for their spending money, for working kids rarely become delinquent! By George W. Crane, Ph.

The elements which appear to be lacking in Administration circles arethose of expenditure restraint and of fiscal responsibility and control. There can be no question that a healthy national economy must be based on sound national policies. While it is difficult to identify the exact policies which direct the fiscal actions of this Administration, this much is clear: The Administration indicates no intent to cut back on domestic spending programs, even though the funding of these programs involves spending money which we do not have. The national debt ceiling will zoom to $365 billion before the end of June--a debt which ultimately the American taxpayers will have to dig down in their pockets to pay. In a few days the Congress will be compelled to increase the national debt limit to a record level-- possible $365 billion--an increase of $29 billion from the present "temporary*' ceiling of $336 billion. This proposal should give some suggestion to the American taxpayer of the proclivity of this Administration to spend money far beyond the revenues which the government receives. S jnay be recalled that when the budget was presented to the Congress for the fiscal year ending July 1, 1967, it was estimated that a deficit of $1.8 billion might result. This deficit estimate has been revised from time to time, so that now it is authoritatively estimated that the deficit for this period may actually total about $20 billion. Hie war in Vietnam and other military expenses contribute substantially to the discouraging national fiscal picture. However, the defense deficit accounts for only about half of this financial miscalculation. The rest of the red figure has been caused by underestimating or deliberately misrepresenting the extent of nondefense spending. It should be pointed out that whereas defense spending rose 65 percent from 1960 to 1967, non-defense spending (not including interest to service the national debt) has risen fay 97 percent. For example, programs designed to combat poverty will cost $22 billion during the present fiscal year. Instead of making progress toward a balanced budget, the trend under this Administration's policies appears to be in the opposite direction. Hie Administration's request for a tax increase (mainly a 6 per cent surtax on corporations) has been accompanied by actions considerably less than enthusiastic. At the same time, the Administration is seeking to encourage corporate activity by restoring the 7 percent investment credit--which was Newspaper* or* useful teaching aid*.

Then listeners are invited to telephone the station with questions. Their queries also are broadcast so everybody can hear. "Dr. Crane," a man asked, "why is there so much disrespect for law and order among high schoolers?" Well, respect is something that should be started in the home when a toddler starts walking around the house. Yet some silly grandparents even encourage a toddler to call them by their first names, instead of using "Grandma" and "Grandpa." That starts the breakdown in respect for the older generation. The older generation is usually synonymous with law and order, as well as the police. In the Army, we compel privates to salute their superior officers! For you cannot maintain morale and efficient social conduct without respect for superior wisdom and top leadership. "But, Dr. Crane," somebody may protest, "isn't it undemocratic to raise caste barriers in society?" Russia thought so and in 1917 drove the white collar people out of the Soviet Union. It looted the wealthy and killed off engineers, doctors, industrialists and other leaders in the realm of management. Then it woke up to the fact that the average person is not trained in surgery or in running a factory or building bridges or editing a newspaper. So every successful society is actually rooted in a caste system; preferably based not on inherited royal prerogatives but cm experience. And older people should be treated with respect by young- EMI the EDUCATOR says er folks, as a matter of principle, just as private soldiers salute their generals. ' So urge your youngsters to address adult friends of the family as "Uncle'* and "Aunt,", since those are simpler terms than "Mr." or "Mrs." "Dr. Crane," another query, began, "why is there so much' delinquency?" "Idle hands," I replied, "are still the devil's workshop!" Too many teen-agers have nothing constructive to do after school! Their parents give them * liberal "allowance" instead of making them earn their money on thepiecework basis. Even in city apartments, children can wash windows, make beds, prepare dinner, do the dishes, iron flat work, mop bathroom and kitchen floors, polish the automobile, ahinft shoes, etc. ; Working kids seldom get into trouble. It is the gangs of idlers on street corners who zoom delinquency. And they are not always "poverty kids," either, but often from good neighborhoods! So send for my booklet "20 Ways to Earn Spending Money," enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents, and let youngsters leant to be self-sufficient. (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long stamped,'addressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.)
