Show FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1951 THE BINGHAM BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH PAGE FIVE America Depends on Family Car '. SHOPPING TO WORK 80CIAL V . iL. " RECREATION V ,CV rx JWH Most car rides 68 per cent are taken for essential or important reasons. DETROIT On an average day, at least one out of every three adults in the United States uses a passenger automobile for some essential purpose such as riding to work, conducting business or going shopping. This and some 20,000 other facts about how the American family car is used were revealed in a nation-wid- e survey recently conducted by the Alfred Politz Research organization. It was learned that 59 million people over the age of 14 ride in automobiles on an average day. This represents more than half of the U. S. adult population. Nearly half of these individuals use a car in connection with earning a liv-ing during a typical day, while almost one-four- th of them go shopping by automobile. About 40 per cent of all rides taken in motor cars, and nearly one-ha- lf of the total passenger miles traveled, are for livelihood purposes, the survey showed. Shopping accounts for another 17 per cent of the rides and 11 per cent of the passenger mileage. These indications o America's growing dependence upon the family car for essential transpor-tation are borne out by automo-bile and population statistics of the past 10 years. While our popu-lation has grown 15 per ? jce 1940, cr ownership h in.. ,sed about 60 per cent. Passenger car registrations for 1950 totaled compared in 1940. This growth in the automobile population has taken place despite the fact that motor vehicle pro-duction between 1940 and 1950 was less than in either of the two preceding decades. Consequently there are more older cars on the road today. The average passenger car is about eight years old, com-pared with the prewar average of 5Vi years. Likewise, there is a lack of middle age cars as a result of the wartime halt in automobile production. In addition to the need for motor cars as essential transport tools, the nation relies on them as a major source of business activ-ity, employment, and tax revenues. The automotive industry directly creates business for at least half a million separate enterprises, or one out of every six firms in the country. One out of every seven jobs, for a total of more than nine million, are automotive. The average automobile buyer pays about $95 in Federal excise tax on his new car. Last year, total automotive excise payments contributed nearly two-billio- n dol-lars to Federal tax coffers. In n, highway users paid some $2.5 I'illinn in special state motor vehicK 'axrs and fees for an aver, age of no 'v $55 per vehicle. Wonder of the World 1 ;: ;i J If '11 'ft" ft!

Donaldson an-nounced today. Principal changes in the new money order system will make it possible to have a money or-der cashed at any of the nation's post offices or it may be collect-ed through any bank in the same manner as the depositing or cash-ing of a check. The new money order appears in the form of a punched card instead of the customary paper slip and purchasers will fill out the same form and pay the same fees as has been required in the past. The regulation that money or- - ders must be cashed at specific post offices has been eliminated. Under the old system, it will be recalled, a money order had to be cashed in the office to which it was issued. If it was cashed at a post office in another city an additional fee was charged. the better to serve the general public. o orders must not be folded, stapl-ed, spindled or mutilated in any way since they are to be issued on punch cards and processed by machinery. Last year more than 300,000,000 money orders, totaling upward to five billion dollars were issu-ed and paid by the post office department. The new money order system will be under the management and supervision of Assistant Postmaster General Osborne A. Pearson, who directs the depart-ment's bureau of finance. All new money orders will clear Federal Reserve banks in the same manner as treasury checks or other cash items. The Federal Reserve banks will then turn over the paid money orders to the proper regional post of-fices. The new money order system is in keeping with the program to modernize and improve the operation of the postal service, as well as to effect economy and The new system makes avail-able to the post office depart-ment the most advanced elec-tronic business machines. One machine, the IBM type 808 proof machine, has been especially de-veloped for the new money or-der purposes and it combines all the advantages of the modern proof machine in widespread use by banks and large department stores throughout the country. Another of the principal mach-ines to be used with the new sys-tem is the electronic statistical machine, workhorse of the 1950 census tabulation. The Postmaster General des-cribed the inauguration of the new money order system as the largest single accounting change ever made in postal history and said, that the development comes after exhaustive study by the post office department, the gen-eral accounting office, the Trea-sury department and the Federal Reserve Board. The department urges users to remember that the new money PROBATE AND GUARDIAN-SHI- P NOTICES (Consult the clerk of the dis-trict court or the respective sign-ers for further information.)
