Since the turn of the century America has lost more
men women and children in traffic crashes than in all
our wars since the beginning of this nation. In 1968 the
property damage in motor vehicle accidents was $3.8 bil
lion and we lost 55200 lives. This is up four per cent'ov

these accidents. And the final blow to America was the

It has been nearly a quarter of a century since the
first atomic bomb was dropped on Japan bringing World
War II to its end. Arguments still rage around the world
about the bomb which killed the greatest number of peo
ple in history. Many groups of people are still actively
protesting.
While the actual death toll will probably never be
known estimates range from 80000 to 240000 lives
lost. The Book of World Records lists a figure of some
91000 deaths.
Using this figure let's take a look at how much this
discussed tragedy compares with an even greater tragedy
which gets little attention: the tfaffic death toll in this
country for just one year.
Last year we lost two-thirds as many lives in traffic
crashes as were lost in that Atomic blast. Traffic deaths
in the United States in 24 years since Hiroshima have
been more than 10 times that 91000 figure.

Know The Costs For Credit Buying
It is possible to buy on credit
and not pay extra for the
privilege.
Some stores allow payment in
30 60 or even 90 days without
extra charge.
This is common with furniture
and other "big ticket" items.
Ask the dealer With whom you
are doing business if he can
give you this arrangement.
