The echo. (Meridian, Miss.) 1942-1960, 1951-07-01

J DETR0IT-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
70 work, conducting business or
going shopping.
This and some 10000 other
facts about how the American
family car is used were revealed
in a nationwide survey recently
conducted by the Alfred Politz
Research organization.
1t was learned that SO million
people over the age of IA 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
Tn connection with earning a liv-
Ikng during a typical day, while
almost one-fourth Of them go
Eahopping by automobile.
J About 40 per cent Of all rides
s&aken in motor cars, and nearly
Eene-half Of the total passenger
IBliles Travelled, are for livelihood
purposes, the survey showed.
lShopping accounts for another II
tper cent of the rides and IL per
Ieent of the passenger mileage.
: These indications of Americas
growing dependence upon The
Family car for essential transpor-
tation are borne out by automo-
Pale and population statistics If
kthe past 10 years. While our popu-
. t4stion has grown Is per cent since
~ 20, aar ownership has increased
The echo. (Meridian, Miss.) 1942-1960, 1951-07-01

about so per cent. Passenger car
registrations for 1850 totaled 40
167, 900 compared with 27,372,39T
in 1910.
This growth in the automobile
population has taken place despite
the fact that motor vehicle pro-
duction between 1910 and 1856
was less than in either of the two
preceding decades. Consequently
there are more older cars or tho
road today. The average passenger
car is about eight years old, COM
pared with the prewar average OF
515 years. Likewise, there IS d
lack of middle age cars as result
of the wartime halt in automobile
production.
In addition 10 the need for
motor cars as essential transT ur5
tools, the nation relies on them a.
a major source of business acJV i
ity, employment, and tax revenues.
The automotive industry directly
creates business for at least half
a million separate enterprises, ca
one out of every six firms IL t.,
country. One out of every seven
jobs, for a total of more than nina
million, are automotive.
The average automobile huve:
pays about sos in Federal evr,se-
tag on his new car. Last Year.,
