Some schools have published
square foot" costs which seem
very low, but when careful stud
les have been made these costs
have been worked using covered
outdoor passageways and outdoor
loading areas in the square foot
age to decrease the per foot"
cost. Some per pupil" figures
have left out the cost of acquisi-
tion of land, legal fees, classroom
and shop equipment and, there
fore, cannot be truly compared
with other figures including these
items. Buildings in different areas
and sections of the United States
will naturally vary in cost, and
costs even vary with the seasons.

mntary addition will utilize this
lighting. DR.. Linn, professor from
Columbia University, who has
served as building consultant on
many buildings throughout the
United States spoke on false
economics" He stated that only
long range economy is real econ
omy in school construction. Any
one can build cheap schools, but
such schools are really quite ex-
pensive. Maintenance problems
and constant repairs and repaint-
ing bring the cost of many "econ-
omy" structures to many times
their initial cost. The real cost of
building is what it has cost to
build and use over its lifetime,
he asserted. He also pointed out
that figures on cubic, square
foot" and per pupil" cost of
schools are often very misleading.

HOW SERIOUS ARE OUR
FALSE ALARMS?

Once, twice, five times thus
far an intolerable and COM
pletely. needless. crime. has
been committed in Smyrna.
We are referring to the SER
les of false alarms which the
local fire company has en-
countered during the past
few weeks. Needless to say,
this is not a joking matter.
1t cannot, it must not be con-
Sidered lightly. The serious
ness of this offense is much
greater than it appears on
the surface. The cost of TAX
ing out equipment must be
weighed. When this is done
unnecessarily, tn e expense
must be endured by you, the
general public, who voluntar-
lily support this community
organization. To many, it
may mean nothing. To 9TH
ers, it may mean a trip made
for naught. To still others,
those unfortunates who will
experience fires in the future,
1t may mean tragedy. Each
of us should realize that the
members of our local fire
Smyrna times., 1957-11-28

company are all volunteer
workers-our brothers, our
fathers, our friends-who
give freely and unselfishly of
their time that we might live
safely in the community.
Each time the whistle sounds
a fireman is confronted with
extreme personal danger. The
risks are great, the risks are
many. The danger of incur
ring injury in the line of
duty is forever existent.
Their job is a valiant one and
an important one.. 1t certain
ly is not one of which to
make a mockery. We must
realize that the patience of
a fireman is only as lasting
as our own. After all, he too
is a human being. The SEEM
ingly endless number of false
reports therefore tend only
to irritate and hamper him.
The role, he fulfills loses its
importance, and his attitude
toward serving you becomes
one of indifference. Let us
avoid this tragedy. Only you
and | can do the job. Our
cooperation can mean deteri-
oration-of our false alarms
and our trouble.

Big Impact Expected
This program will have an i'm
mense impact on the economy. Just
to carry out the construction work
will require 49 million tons of
steel, nearly IL billion barrels
of cement, 128 million tons of as
phalt, oyer nine billion tons of
crushed rock and the employment
of around 100000 people annually.
Only about so per cent of the
vehicles on the highways carry IL
ability and property damage in
surance policies. Even so, Ameri-
cans pay some four billion dollars
annually in premiums for protec-
ton.
Another by-product of the auto
is credit financing of car purchas-
es. Currently Americans are in
debt about 80 billion dollars for
goods purchased on the installment
plan Of that total slightly more
than so per cent is credit obtained
for buying automobiles-$15 ,208,-
100000.
In brief, as far as the US. econ
omy is concerned the automobile
helps make the wheels go around

Granny served by highway of any
sort.
To operate their millions of cars,
Americans spend some % billion
dollars annually for tires and tub
es, repairs, gasoline, oil and toll
road charges.
Transit companies using buses
collect about billion dollars in
fares each year, and Americans
shell out GAG million dollars for
taxicabs.
The tire and tube industry alone
employs about III, 800 persons who
earn, if they are production work
erS, about $98 a week In the Pc
troleum refining industry about
250,O00 workers are employed
making gasoline and lubricants.
They earn about 500 a week.
Into the production of automo-
biles goes between 20 and 25 per
cent of all the steel made in this
country-and steel is being made
at the rate of two million tons a
week.
The internal combustion engine
provides jobs for six million truck
drivers. All told some so billion
dollars is spent annually for high
way transportation services.
An automobile without high
way would be something like a
buggy without a horse so, to pro-
vide roads the nation spends about
51a billion dollars a year = ano
that is about to be increased.

of 81 billion dollars in state anc

Car Dealers
Were Helped
BY Hearings

n ETROIT manufacturers and
- the nations auto dealers are
living in somewhat better harm
ony as a result of action taken by
the producers during and follow
ing a series of congressional in
quiries last spring.
Legislation adopted in Con-
gress and signed into law gives a
dealer the right to what some call
his day in court" he can go into
court and sue the manufactures if
his franchise is suspended or can
celled.
But probably even more import
ant is the action taken by all the
car makers to enable the retailers
to quickly get a hearing from the
manufacturer on any complaint
that he is being forced to handle
more cars than his market area
will absorb-or that he feels he
otherwise is being Disseminated
against.
Complaint Department
Each of the car makers estab-
lished department, headed by a
top executive, to handle these COM
plants. General Motors did it dur
ing the congressional committee
hearings preliminary to passage of
the dealers day in court" bill.
To further ease tension, the car
makers took over financial respon-
sibility for all warranty service
work cost of which previously was
absorbed by the retailer. This is
the work covered by new car
guaranty.
The dealers major complaint
last spring was that they were be-
ing forced to accept more cars
than they could sell. This, they
claimed, forced them into price
competition with their fellow re-
tailers and pushed many Of them
into what they termed a profit
less prosperity"
Profits Cut
They aid they attained sales
volume but only because they
slashed prices, made exorbitant
allowances on trade-ins. and 9TH
erwise reduced their established
profit levels.
Whether the dealers were right
or wrong in their complaints, the
production pace that brought T.
$4,000 cars from the assembly
lines in 1855 piled up the biggest
dealer inventory in car industry
history.
1t may have been the dealer re-
bellion or it may have been just
forward looking by the car maxi
ers, but the producers cut back
their 1856 production schedules
quickly. This, plus an intensified
sales effort at the retail level,
slashed the inventory to below
normal size before the 1857 model
year got under way.
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1957-05-07

There is much more to the autos S
impact on the economy than the
wages earned by production work
ers in Michigan and the II other
states where cars are produced.
All told-counting the bridge
builders lifting highways across
the nations rivers, technicians con-
verting crude oil to gasoline, and
wage-earners in the hundreds of
other enterprises necessary-the
production and use of automobiles
provide Americans with over 10
million jobs, about Is per cent of
the nations total.
There are currently in this coun-
try 65 million motor vehicles, and
the auto industry is producing new
ones at the rate of about six mil
lion a year.
This means the industry's annual
output accounts Immediately for
slightly more than nine billion dol
