To be specific, only 40 of the 231 traffic deaths for the four months occurred in cities of 10,000 popu lation or over, while 191 of the fatilities happened in small towns and ont on the open highway. ‘lt’s not when traffic is thickest that the most traffic deaths oc cur,” declared Ronald Hocutt, director of the Safety Division, “it’s where traffic is fastest”. “When two oars collide on a congested city street the cars us ually suffer damage only and the occupants probably suffer minor injuries, but when two cars breezing along on an open high way collide, a fatality occurs more often than not.” o SWEDISH SHIP SUNK London, June .7 The 5,060- ton Swedish iron ore steamer Erik Frisell has been sunk by a submarine in the Atlantic, it was dsclosed today when 34 survivors landed at a Scottish port. “When troubles come, they coma not in single spies, but in battal ions.” —Shakespeare 1258 PROFIT AND LOSS STATEMENT I . t, 1 f 111 I - I 219 LoH 11 «*| it I *—■ |_m o»l I I n»^i_ j.f*> , • Ate you alert to all the possibilities of increasing profits and of decreasing opety; ating costs in your business? 1 ■ . • Perhaps new merchandise, new meth ods, new equipment, will step up sales.
