FOUR BILLIONS FOR
TRUCK DRIVERS! !

How big business highway
transportation has become in the
United States may be realized from
the fact that truck drivers alone
earn and spend over four billion
dollars annually.
According to information released
by the Automobile Manufacturers
Association, there are 3,109,50S truck
drivers in the United States, based
OH an estimate of one full time driv-
er per truck exclusive of farm
trucks. AS a number of the large
farms regularly employ truck driv-
ers and many trucks carry two dri-
vers this is ON the conservative side.
The infant giant has far outstrip-
ped it's older rival, the railway.
According to the records Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission at
the end of 1886, there were 1886, ,4O5
railway employees. The number oil
truck drivers in the United States
exceeds the total number of railway
employees on ratio of almost 3 to
/. The average railway employee
including executives received at the
end of 1886, $1.734.79 per year. Dur
ing that year railway employees
earned $1.S73,S19,393.
Based on an average earning pow
er of 1900 per year the truck driv-
ers of the United States earned $4,-
O42, $3.50, 400.
This figure, of course, does not in
clude anything at all on the tre-
mendous personnel behind the driv-
ers employed in maintaining the ve-
hicles, drivers helpers which are
necessary on many types of runs
and suppliers of fuel oil, etc. along
the route.
An analysis of all of those direct
ly and indirectly employed in the
business of highway transportation
gives an interesting viewpoint on the
importance in our national life OF
the motor truck. All of this has
come about during the last thirty
years and has radically influenced
our mode of living and the actual
geographic distribution of our pop
ulation. Many communities depend
on highway transportation alone for
all of their food as well as other
supplies.
In no other country in the world
has such a complete system been
built. The Highway Transportation
industry is a big factor in our ma
ticnal prosperity and in time of war
is a mighty contribution toward our
national defense.

Catching kOck Fish
In Large Numbers
Notwithstanding that the central
section of lower Delaware has had
four snow storms within a week, YET
the weather has not been severe
enough to freeze the creeks and riv-
ers. Reports from the Indian River
section are to the effect that there is
a run of rock fish, which always
command a high price in the city
markets as well as those of the ru-
raj sections of Delaware. Fishermen
in the Indian River area are making
catches of rock weighing from 4 to
10 pounds. They are said to be in
large numbers and some of the fish
ermen are making good money from
their catches.
