Fragile Autos, Bad Bumpers Put
Pressure on Insurance Pates
NEW YORK - The con
tinuing upward trend in the
coat and frequency of auto
mobile repairs can be expected
to exert strong upward pres
sure on the barometer of auto
insurance prices, the Insurance
Information Institute said to
day.
The Institute said it ap
peared unavoidable that in
surance rates would be forced
to react sensitively to such
factors as the increasing numb
er of highway accidents, soar
ing repair costs and the reluc
tance of auto manufactures to
produce new cars less vulner
able to damage in low-speed
ctehes than their predeces
sors.
The Institute noted that
while deaths and injuries de
clined slightly in 1970, the
number of accidents rose to
more than 22 million - an
increase of almost 100,000
over the previous year.
Meanwhile, a national sur
vey of auto insurance adjusters
and repair garages shows that
the average hourly labor rate
increased from $5.10 in 1965
to slightly more than $8 in
1970, a 56 per cent jump.
Minimizing Damage
"Insurance studies have
shown," the Institute said,
"that the majority of acci
dents are of the low-speed
variety, causing damage which
could be minimized or avoided
altogether if available energy
absorbing design techniques
had been incorporated in the
making of the auto."
To illustrate the fact that
a high proportion of vehicle
damage results from low-speed
crashes, the Institute cited a
study by the Insurance Insti
tute for Highway Safety which
showed that of a sampling of
thousands of claims during a
six-month period of 1968-69,
more than 90 per cent were
Iggi
, wAS COMPLETCP
Itrmlar;t,
for SSOO or lew.
The Institute noted that Dr.
William Haddon, Jr., president
of the IIHS, in testimony
March 10 before the Senate
Commerce Committee, criti
cized the continued produc
tion of fragily-constructed cars
unable to absorb minor bump
er-to-bumper punishment
without severe and costly da
mage.
Winn-Dixie Stores
Record Sales For
The Current Year
Winn-Dixie's 831 food
stores in the local area and
throughout the South recorded
a sales increase of $125,204,
535 during the 36 weeks ended
March 6 compared with the
like period a year ago.
The volume totaled $1,090,
040,692 against $964,836,157,
an advance of 12.98 percent.
For the four weeks ended
March 6, sales amounted to
$128,642,534 compared with
$112,347,383 during the cor
responding period last year, a
gain of $16,295,151 com
pared with $112,347,383
during the corresponding
period last year, a gain of
$16,295,151 or 14.50 percent.
The last major island group
in the Pacific is now linked by
air with the rest of the world,
according to the authoritative
Aviation Daily. The Marquesas
Islands, 470 miles northeast of
Tahiti, which total some 490
square miles of land, were
populated by 60,000 people 150
years ago. Today's population
is about 4,000.

A German manufacturer is
developing a short-range,
small twin-jet transport air
craft that will have a range of
about 400 miles and will cruise
at about 450 miles per hour.
Some 53% of the equipment
on the aircraft is of U. S. man
ufacture, another example of
the aerospace industry's con
tribution to the U. S. balance
of-payments position.

TIRE CONSTRUCTION
Sooner or later, your tires
will wear out —and you 11 have
to replace them. And when
that time comes, you should
know just how the tire manu
facturers are "plying" their
trade.
Here are the up-to-date facts:
A. Beneath the tread and
forming the sidewall is the
tire's body or casing. It is made
up of an arrangement of
materials called plies. The
I I 1

•Hie
v ;
• i,. ' D
way the plies are constructed
plays a major role in deter
mining tire life.
B. Tire bodies are construct
ed in three ways:
1. Bias tires, once standard
equipment on new cars, are
made with two, four, or more
plies of a synthetic fiber
fabric rayon, nylon, poly
ester that crisscross beneath
the tread on the bias, or angle,
approximately 35 degrees to
the center of the tire.
2. Radial tires, common on
European cars, have fabric plies
which extend from bead to
bead (steel wires that hold the
tire in place)across the sidewall
and underneath the tread. For
strength, two or more layers of
material called "belts" are
placed beneath the tread.
3. Bias-belted tires, standard
on most new cars, are a com
bination of the first two types
of construction. They are made
with bias plies topped with
two or more belts - most often
durable Fiberglas®' cord be
neath the tread for strength
and longer life.

Ucology is .in important word today for .1 good reason We
encounter the effects of humun abuse of air, earth and water all
around us, and wi' are now anxious to counteract those abuses.
Ecologists tell us that one small but valuable way we can help
combat pollution is to grow green things: make a flower garden,
or even better, a vegetable garden for our own good health.
Digging in the warm sun is fun, but there are protective
measures that need to he taken because overexposure to
sunlight can do more harm than good.
Skin that has been under wraps all winter needs a sunscreen
cream for protection. Gradual tanning is beautiful but rapid
burning can be very harmful as well as painful. Recent medical
research even reveals that too much ultraviolet light, those
powerful, invisible light rays that cause tanning, can also cause
changes in the skin cells that make Jjiem more susceptible to
cancer. So skin protection is important to human ecology.
Eyes need protection too. Lenses like those in Cool-Kay
Polaroid Sunglasses have a built ill molecular structure thai
screens out the tiring glare light that makes you squint and gel
headache-y out in the sun. Those Polaroid polarizing lenses even
absorb as much as !I6'' of ultraviolet light 100 as an added
protection to your eyes, because eyes ran gel painfully
sunburned too.
So watch out for your own personal ecology in the sun days
to come. Use a g>otl sun cream 011 your skin, and wear the best
in eye protection —and fashion —like these all new Jet Ace shades
from Cool-Ray Polaroid Sunglasses.
