expected to increase further as
the Bureau of Public Roads
pushes its program for a Al ,000-

Americans to lengthen their
travels because of savings in
travel time. And the more

the better in the long run for
sellers of new and used cars.

NEW YORK. - Americans
love affair with the family car
is making week end weather an

sons to a carr.
In yesterdays good weather,
if you were on the highway,
you may have thought all Sc
million were out there, too.
An entire summer of espe-
cially poor Cor good weather
could mean a variation of up
to 10 billion vehicle miles of
highway travel. Such an ex-
IRENE case would mean a diff
ference Of about TOO million
gallons of gas burned up,
$4,000 tires worn out, and
perhaps 300 million meals at
roadside eaterieS.
Sales Up 81 Million
Also affected by weekend
weather are many things, from
the sale of bikinis and sun To-
ton to picnic supplies and car
rental services.
For example, makers of SUM-
tan or sunburn lotions and
creams have raised their an
maui sales from 81 million ten
years ago TO $l4 million last
year. Whether this summers
week ends are fair or dreary
can have a lot TO do with the
industry's reaching its 1863
sales goal Of $40 million.
The SIT billion a year motel
industry is particularly sensitive
to family decisions TO take of
for a long week end jaunt Of
TO stay home because Of the
weather. Some $4,000 motel'
and motor hotels, with 100000

Rail Car Orders
Decline Sharply

NEW YORK (DO New rail
freight cars ordered in June
dropped sharply from the
previous and year ago months,
but the July l backlog remained
high because of heavy ordering
earlier this year.
Only, 2.349 new freight cars
were ordered in June, far below
the 6,074 in May and 81 per
cent under the 3,4l1 in June
1862. According to the Ameri-
can Railway Car Institute and
the Association Of American
Railroads.
The backlog of cars on order
was 2l,959 on July ! or less
than the 1884 a month earlier
but 65 per cent above a year
earlier-it was the highest July
/ backlog since 29,555 in 1860,
