Washington department and
speciality stores have been plac-
| ing increasing emphasis on. cost
accounting in the last year. but
will move slowly in adopting new
uniform procedures set up by
the National Retail Dry Goods
Association.
This was evident last night at
q meeting of the National Cap
ital Group Of Controllers at the
Washington Hotel for consider
alton Of a drastically revised
manual on standardized ac-
counting practices compiled by
the Controllers Congress Of the
NRDGA.
Most large Washington stores
already areusing some principles
Of work-load and productivity
evaluation embodied in. the new.
manual, but Woodward & 10th
rop is the only large store so far
to indicate hopes that it win
have the new system largely in
operation by the start Of the fis-
cal year February /.
Hecht Co. is headed in that di-.
rection, but win require more
time. Other stores plan q grad
ual transition, with a number
maintaining old systems for sew
eral years along with the new.
Still to Be Mailed
Actually the new manual, rep
resenting the first major revision
OF NRDGA standards in Is years,
will not be mailed out to store
executives until late. this week or
early next week. ~
Most stores want TO set up the
system as rapidly as possible to
take part in the annual survey
of NRDGA members conducted
by Harvard University.
With only printers proofs be-
fore him, c. Robert McBrier,
vice president and controller of
Woodward & Lothrop. who has
followed development of the new
system carefully. explained its
basic concepts and problems of
transition at last nights meet
ing. which was attended by
groups from IL large Washington
stores and two Baltimore organ
iZations.

Fourth. Reynolds du Pont, Presi-
dent of the Delaware S afety
Council offers five tips for a safe
holiday trip: 1. Start early, be-
fore traffic is heavy, and take it
easy. Cut your usual speed 10
miles an hour. 2. Obey legal and
common sense speed limits. Slow
Down before you get to an inter-
section or traffic signal. 8. Be
especially careful wh N passing
other cars. Don't be an eager
weaver in traffic. 4. Keep a safe,
clear stopping distance between
you and the car ahead. Watch
cars behind in your rear view mir
ror. 5. Signal for turns well be-
fore turning-and avoid abrupt

HIGHWAY NEED
In DELAWARE
SIPS, 100000 Are Needed to
Bring Federal-Aid High
ways Up To Standard
RESURFACING NEEDS

Some SIPS, 100000 would be
needed to bring federal-aid high
ways in Delaware up to adequate
standards, according to Arthur o.
Dietz, president of CIT. Finan-
cial Corporation, the n ii n s
largest independent financing in
stitution. Dietz quoted a study by
the American Association of State
Highway Officials in pointing out
that some 1885 miles of Della
wares federal-aid highways are
considered inadequate. Nationally,
he explained, improvements are
needed on almost "a per cent, or
more than 100000 miles, of the
federal-aid system. On all roads
and streets-federal, st ate and
local-he said at least $50 billion
is needed just to bring the sys-
tenn up to adequate standards.
Road spending in the U. S. Dietz
declared, must be increased to a
level of some $11 billion a year,
more than double the present
rate, "lf we are to solve highway
crisis" Dietz said fe d er Laid
highways needs are particularly
critical because the systems 673,-
900 miles, only about one-fifth
of the nations roadway mileage,
carry four-fifths of the traffic.
Roads Need Resurfacing
Emphasizing the seriousness of
the nations Traffic problem, Dietz
said the average rural road is
more than 20 years old and was
last surfaced more than 10 years
ago. Highway travel has climbed
to more than two and one-half
times the volume in 1881, when
many of our roads were construc-
ted" Dietz said. Traffic volume
in 1850 reached level that had
not been expected until 1860. To-
dav we have some 55,000,000
vehicles on our roadw avs. BY
1875, we probably will have 85,-
OO0, 900 vehicles in use and traf-
fic volume probably will be doub-
led by 1870" If the nation is to
continue to prosper, Dietz said,
highway spending m ust be in
creased to level of some $11
billion a year over at least 10
year period.

in the future. AS the first step,
he said, 1--WE are retraining,
strengthening, and enlarging our
sales force, stepping up our ad-
vertising program, and improving
our present products as well as
developing new ones. AS mat
ter of fact, our newest product
will be in stores throughout the
country before the summer is
over" The second step consists of
a comprehensive Economy Drive,
designed to eliminate all waste by
proper utilization of equipment,
materials, and manpower, without
sacrificing the high quality stand
ards for Playtex products.

program is an essential part of
the Company's continuous efforts
to maintain security for all its
e mployees. Security, he said,
means "a chance for every man
and woman to earn a fair days
pay in exchange for a fair days
work" Further, it means a con-
tinuation of the Company's ex-
tremely liberal employee benefit
program; which includes free life
insurance, free disqualification and
surgical insurance, paid vacations
and holidays, and other benefits.
1t also means profit-sharing, he
said, because it is the fixed policy

tion that whenever there are pro-

Sd MOVIES,
Sd DRIVERS
Sd Drivers Are Described as
Dumb, Daring and
Deadly
TO BE OUT 4th OF JULY

If 3-D movies scare you, wait
until you see the Sd drivers on
the highway over the Fourth of
July! What are BID drivers?
Well, the National Safety Coun-
Gil and the Delaware Safety
Council say there are dumb, dar-
ing and deadly. And if they don't
kill you, they scare you almost to
death. Fortunately, the Council
says, the BID drivers are in the
minority. But there are enough
of them on the road to make
driving in heavy holiday traffic
a risky business. The Council
estimates that more than 40 mill
lion vehicles will be on the move
during the three-day weekend
and that they will roll up mile
age in the neighborhood of five
billion miles-the greatest Fourth
of July traffic jam in history. In
such heavy traffic, the Council
pointed out, a driver is never
more than a second away from
an accident. 1t is estimated that
driver makes from 20 to 80
decisions an hour, and a wrong
one can be fatal. Excessive
speed contributes to one out of
three fatal traffic accidents" said
Ned H. Dearborn, president of
the National Safety C o ouncil
Last Fourth of July, which was
only two-day holiday, POI per-
sons were killed in traffic acci-
dents. This Memorial Day, a three
day holiday, 362 died in traffic
accidents. Speed control is the
personal responsibility of every
driver A heavy foot on the throt-
tie can mean a heavy heart for
someone" In an effort to reduce
the h holiday toll, the National
Safety Council is coordinating a
nationwide Fourth of July safety
campaign in which 100 national
organizations are participating.
The campaign seeks to increase
public awareness of the extr a
holiday hazards and the extra
caution needed to overcome them.
The campaign also is designed to
help officials, traffic officers and

Headquarters in w a shing to n,

Forest Fires Reduced
ugh the Smokey Bear
symbol was conceived in 1915, ac-
cording to Clinton Davis, Director
of Forest Fire Prevention for the
Forestry Division, is was not
adopted by the Forestry Division
as a central figure until 1947, and
has been used extensively ever
since. There was an average of
100000 forest fires annually prior
to the Inauguration of the Smo-
key Bear campaign. Since then
the number has been reduced to
an average of 185,000, even
even though thousands of addi-
tional people visit forest and
woodland areas every year for
picnics, camping, huntin 6 and
fishing expeditions. If it were not
for the extensive fire-prevention
program, of which the Smokey
Bear symbol is the central figure,
Davis estimates the number of
fires would be running at the rate
of between 100000 and $4,000
annually because of increased use
of forest areas. Because fires
caused by people run in direct
proportion to forest use by the
public, we are grateful for as
widespread support as possible to
bring home the need for keeping
down the huge annual loss of our
natural resources caused by fires,
he said.
