Nor is it the mom-and-pop store— although 80 percent of the nation’s businesses employ 10 people or less, and most of them would fall into this traditional American category. Most of the new jobs in new joDS in millions of other small this country are created by small firms with less than 100 workers, the U. S. Small Business Adminis tration says. And these firms often are engaged in some kind of high- technology enterprise. This type of firm, together with the mom- and-pop stores and the millions of other small Going Fishing? - FREE .

Jobs are added to the economy, the SBA points out, as small firms create new processes and pro duce new markets through innovations. Small busi nesses have accounted for half of all American innovation in this century, and innovation accounts i for between 40 and 60 percent of all economic growth in this country. From 1968 to 1976, the nation’s 1,000 largest corporations created 75,000 new jobs. The nation’s small businesses created 6 million. Such innovation and job creation is unmatched by large corporations because the very same caution that enables a large corporation to manufacture its products efficiently tends to make the big concern resistant to new products and risks. The significance and contributions of small business are gaining increasing attention in Washington, and at every level of government. In the decade of the 80s, we may expect major efforts to reform tax laws, lessen the burden of regulation, and boost the availability of investment capital so that small business can expano' its i^ole ■ as the single ^eatest source of innova tion and new jobs in our nation’s economy. Driver’s handbooks sent to libraries Vote For Daniel T. LILLEY RALEIGH—Tar Heel motorist soon will be able to obtain copies of the North Carolina driver’s handbook at over 1100 libraries across the state. . The books are provided free of charge for motorists preparing for driver’s license tests. Elbert L.

"This distribution will insure that the handbooks will be available in most cases to the state’s motorists,” Peters said. “We feel it is another step in our efforts to improve the level of service we provide to North Carolina drivers.” The North Carolina Department of Transpor tation’s Motor Vehicles Division has suggested that the libraries hold one copy in the reference section, retain one copy in the documents section and circulate the remainder.
