In any dispute involving a pedes-
trian and car, the car is sure to
win. 2. Rules and regulations de-
signed to control and protect pc
destrians are not based on whims.
3. Blind obedience to traffic rules

means of escaping death or injury.
Definite, tangible reductions in
Delaware's pedestrian death and
injury rate this winter are not
only possible, the Delaware Safety
Council feels, but inevitable.

PRODUCTION
LOANS REVIVED
Business Review of Federal
Reserve Bank Reports On
Financial Problems
NEW REGULATIONS

The rise of most business indica-
tors during September in the Phil
adelphia Federal Reserve District
evidenced a continuation of the up
ward trend in general business
activity which characterized the
preceding five months. Factory
employment, payrolls and produc-
tion increased over August and so
did bank loans and deposits in the
financial field. Construction rose
slightly, but the boom showed
signs of easing off. Consumer
prices in Philadelphia resumed
their climb, and department store
sales, although large, declined
from the unusually high level of
the preceding month, after adjust
ment for seasonal change.
There were no signs in Septem-
ber that manufacturers were glut-
ting their markets. Strong demand
gave firms the confidence to in
crease production. Producers of
durables made especially vigorous
efforts to relieve the pressure of
growing backlog of orders. To in
crease output, concerns enlarged
their labor forces and extended
working hours: The number of
manufacturing workers employed
in Pennsylvania rose per cent
and reached level of 8 per cent
above that of year ago. Most
industries shared in the employ
ment advance with the major
gains being registered by the elec-
trical machinery and food groups.
The combination of active hiring
and longer hours was prime fac
tor in raising total payrolls. Wage
payments to workers in Pennsyl-
vania factories in September were
the largest on record and % per
cent above those of 1949.
Consumers continued to spend at
a rapid pace. Although department
store sales dipped slightly below
those of August, they remained
well above those of last year. The
upsurge in sales in July and Aug
ust encouraged stores to step up
orders for merchandise. By Sep
tember, accumulated stocks were
10 per cent above year ago.
During the period from June 80
to October 4, the loans of all mem-
Der banks in the district increased
by $172 million to S2,138 million
Nearly half of the increase was ac-
counted for by credit advances to
business concerns, but there were
also substantial gains in real
estate and consumer loans. Re.
ports of banks in leading cities in
dicate that the sharp upward trend
in business loans slowed materially
in October. Investments declined
for the fourth successive month.
The Nations privately-ownec
money supply increased further il
September to nearly $172 billioI
and toward the close of the month
was approximately $5 billion larg
er than a year earlier. Expansion
over the twelve months, baseC
chiefly on the substantial growth
in bank loans, has been accompan
led by more active use of the fund:

turnover of demand deposits il
