vations there ii you want them.
Facts doesn't deal in anything
but facts.
Facts finds books a useful
source of information, Mr Mar
quis says, but the company’s own
files are even more useful. When
ever H takes more than three to
five minutes for a Facts research
er to answer a question he writes
down the question and the an
swer, when he gets it. on a card
and files it. The 22 Facts research
ins are currently filing some 2,000
of the cards a week.
"Answering questions is a fas
cinating business.' Mr Marquis
exclaims, "because it keeps you
abreast of what people are think
ing about." For example, he re
calls, last summer questions about
Korea were most popular. But
now the trend has changed. The
most popular queries today are
about color television and General
Eisenhower.
A few weeks ago Facts was call
ed on to settle a dispute over how
many toes a pig has per foot. The
dispute arose on a radio quiz, pro
gram, where a contestant was of
fered $1,500 for answering correct
ly. He answered "two," and was
declared wrong. A pig has three,
declared the quiz master. Dis
gruntled, the contestant went
home, looked it up in a dictionary,
and threatened to sue the quiz
program sponsors when he found
the dictionarj agreed with him.
Facts, called in by the sponsor,
disclosed that a pig has two func
tional toes and one that is non
functional.
"Did you look at a pig to find
out," Mr. Marquis was asked.
"No,” he replied, It's easier for
us to find out by telephone."

With one exception—the
death column—Martin County

majority over the entire year
totals for 1949 in the number
of accidents, number of injur

There are eight more weeks to
be counted. What will the
total for 19r>0 be?
The following tabulations
offer a comparison of the ac
cident trend: first, by corres
ponding weeks in this year
and last and for each year to
the present time.
