in the ledger sheets of industry. But the fact is that they are
among the smallest.
As an example, take the 1949 financial experience of a cor
poration which is one of the largest and most successful in
the world, and which produces automobiles and trucks, house
hold appliances and other goods. This company is not chosen
because it had a poor profit record—indeed, in that respect
it did far better than the average corporation.
First, more than 50 cents went to suppliers,' for materials
and services needed' to carry on the company’s production
program.
Second, a trifle more than 26 cents went to employees.
Third, 10-cents-plus went to government for taxes.
Fourth, a little less than two cents was set aside to provide
for depreciation and obsolescence of plants and equipment
machines wear out and must be replaced.
Fifth, alittle more than six cents went to the owners of the
cornpany—434,000 stockholders.
Finally, the remainder, about five cents, was retained for
use in the business. v
In 1949, this corporation’s dividends on each share of com
mon stock were almost twice as great as in 1948. Yet, even
so, the owners received only about a fourth as much as the
workers—and not much more than half as much as govern
ment. Profit is a relatively small item in the cost of carry
ing on American business.
18. Do you always obey the local speed laws?
19. Do you give proper attention to yop driving when others
are in the car?
20. Do you anticipate what the other driver might do?
21. Do you park on the highway? ,
22. Do you drift from one traffic lane to another on a dual
highway for no apparent reason.
23. Do you stop at stop signs?
24. Do you adjust your driving to the weather?
25. Do you know what to do in case of an accident?

The soybeans in 2% ft- rows
were plowed twice and those in
the. wider rows three times.
These soybeans were recently
harvested and the narrow rows
yielded 54 bushels per acre, while
the 3 ft. rows yielded 40 bushels
per acre.
Mr. Cameron considers this a
good cash crop since the income
per acre wak'$135and $100 respec
tively, and the cost relatively
small. He sold the crop for $2.50
per bushel.
'What Is Your Answer?
K may be possible to over-emphasize some things, but in
vieiw of the large number of traffic accidents, resulting in
death, injury and property damage in so many instances, we
don’t believe that newspapers and other media for public
information ,can stress too strongly or too often the imoprt-
ance of careful driving.
The current issue of The North Carolina Motor Vehicle
has this to say:
“Far too many of us feel that havirig qualified for an op
erator’s or chauffeur’s license we are privileged to disregard
the many laws and rules of the road. Driving an automobile
is a full-time job for all of us. It requires controlled atten
tion, proper attitude and sound judgment as well as physical
ability.”
The following pertinent questions, which every operator
of a motor vehicle should consider, are asked:
l.i Do you drive when you are overly fatigued?
2. Do you get upset when other cars get ahead of you?
