OLYMPIA - In addition to kegs quarts and it's famous "stubby' bottles, Olympia Beer will now ap- pear in cans, it was announced to- day by Adolph D. Schmidt, Jrp vice president and general manager of the Olympia Brewing Go.
 Olympia in can" states Schmidt "is now possible because of the completion of our new 21,000 bar rel aging cellar. Olympia in cans is exactly the same beer as goes in- to our bottles and kegs and is the same beer as We have been brewing since 1896. Like Stubbies, Olympia cans will be packeged in both 12's and 24's."
 Two weighing machines in the conveyor lines weigh the cans after filling to a tolerance of seven grams. These machines are a double check that the full measure of beer has been put in the can and, to the best of the company's knowledge, is the only company who has in corporated this feature.

SPEED OFTEN INVOLVED

w. w. Harris, vice president for
public safety of the Delaware Safe
ty Council recently likened the
chances of a driver walking away
from his car uninjured after strik-
ing a telephone pole at go miles
an hour to the chances of an egg
remaining uncracked after being
hit with badminton racket.
Mr.. Harris remark came in con-
nection with the opening of the
Delaware Safety Councils June
program of traffic safety educa-
tion, which has as its theme: Speed
Control.
Roughly" he said, "the effect OF
hitting a solid obstruction at 60
miles an hour is equivalent to driv-

story building. The damage to car
and occupants is the same in either
case"

EMPLOYMENT
ON INCREASE
Employment, Production, Pay
rolls Increased During
Month of April
DEPOSITS-LOANS DOWN

April reports from business con-
Germs throughout the Philadelphia
Federal Reserve District were gen.
orally expansionary. Employment,
production, payrolls, and depart
ment store sales rose to levels
above those of March. Construction
continued to be strong sustain
ing force in the economy, and al
though bank deposits, loans, and
investments did not increase, they
were greater than those of a year
ago. The consumer price index did
not reflect more recent price rises.
Production receded in only a few
industries, notably anthracite coal,
transportation equipment, and to-
bacco.
Throughout manufacturing in
dustries in Pennsylvania, overall
output and payrolls were above the
previous month. The increases re-
fiected substantial gains in the dur
able goods industries, which were
only partly offset by declines in the
nondurable field. Production in the
iron and steel industry rose sub
stantially and was just slightly un-
der that of 1949. Automobile out
put continued above the volume of
year ago. Although it remained
4 per cent below the level of last
year, total factory employment
showed improvement. The rise in
employment took place in the in
dustries producing durable goods.
Like the gains in production and
payrolls, the greatest increases in
industrial employment occurred in
the automobile and iron and steel
industries. The number of workers
employed by manufacturers of non
durable goods declined slightly
from the March level but was equal
ITO that of last year.
Activity in the construction field
continued at a record pace. Con-
tracts awarded for new buildings
rose, both in relation to the pre-
ceding month and to the previous
year; in fact, building has been SO
active that fears of material short
ages have arisen in some quarters.
The scramble for lumber and other
building supplies is already threat
-ening home construction in the
Philadelphia area, and some build
ers are feeling spot shortages.
Smyrna times., 1950-06-08

Department store sales in April
showed a gain over the previous
month. With the exception of
Lancaster, improvements in sales
occurred in every city for which
data are available. However, for
the first four months of 1850, sales
were below the corresponding per-
iod of last year. Philadelphia de-
partment sores report continued
demand for house furnishings, and
huge sales in their radio and tele-
vision departments. The high level
of home construction should assure
sustained demand for furniture
and major household appliances in
coming months.
Deposits and loans of all member
banks in the Third Federal Re-
serve District declined slightly
during April, but investments re-
manned unchanged. During May,
however, deposits and loans of
weekly reporting banks rose. While
investments declined somewhat
they were still IL per cent above
year ago.

size to motorists the terrible ener-
gy and destructive power that is
inherent in the speeding car. if in
jured, is eight times more likely to
die of these injuries than if the ac-
eident had occurred at 20 miles an
hour.
One of the chief reasons that ex-
cessive speed is so often involved
in traffic accidents, according to
the Delaware Safety Council, is the
greatly increased stopping dis
tances incurred at high speeds. AT
20 miles an hour, for instance, a
car will hurtle along 100 feet in
