Fowler, president 1 of N. C. Merchants Association. ( “It is apparent that our merchants j of today are interested in items oth- ( er than the mere ring of the cash reg- i ister. That’s why we are plugging ] ■for these bond issues,” declared Fowl- 1 er. ' He said that the board of directors J of the N. C. Merchants Association went on record last week as favoring 1 the bond issues of 22 million dollars for additional mental facilities and 1 50 million dollars for public school ( improvements. “We should be ashamed of the con dition of our mental institutions”, said 1 Fowler in pointing out that “improve ment in the general welfare of our ; people can only result in a more sta- i ble economy for our merchants.” Declaring that there are now ap- : proximately 70,000 retail firms in i North Carolina, Fowler said that these merchants can within the next few : weeks “contact in their own places of ; business, with little effort, and in the regular course of the days’ activities i virtually every person of voting age ' in North Carolina on behalf of the : bond issues.” Fowler emphasized that the 1953 school enrollment in the State is short of its needs approximatly 7,775 class- : rooms. He said that the total num ber of applications to State mental hospitals exceeds th actual number of admissions by about 300 patients per year. Robert E.

More Workers Killed Off Job Than On More than twice as many workers were killed off the job than on the job in 1952, according to the Nation al Safety Council’s statistical year book, “Accident Facts.” Just off the press, the 1963 edition shows that 34,500 workers suffered accidental death off the job, while 15,000 were killed by accidents at work. Off-the-job accidents also resulted in a greater production loss to the nation’s industry. Workers injured off the job in 1952 lost a total of 65,- 000,000 man-days, compared with 45,- 000,000 man-days lost by workers on the job. Non-fatal injuries to work ers off the job totaled about 2,600,000 while on-job injuries were about 2,- 000,000. Excluding sleeping hours, workers spend about twice as much time away from work as they do at work. But even when the exposure factor is tak en into consideration, the off-the-job death rate is higher.
