FIGHT THK.AMAR1LLOGIOBE-TIMES.AMARILMJ.TKXAS FEBRUARY 4. 1957 Economicc In Demand LONDON W)-- Britons are convinced that everything that Roen iip may not come down-- the cost of gasoline for example. That is the basic reason thou- sandj are buying motor cars which get 44-100 miles on an imperial (roughly five U.S. quarts) gallon of gasoline. A London dealer handling the Italian Fiat 600 says: "There is nothing like gallon of six shilling (SI cents) petrol to convert a man from a car which gets 17 miles to the gallon to one which gets 50 to 100 milts.

Gasoline rationing struck Britain Dec. 17 as ihe aftermath, of the Suez Canal's blocking. With shortages the price and tax per gallon went up. Part of the tax may come off when the canal is cleared, but few people expect prices to drop back to the 62 cent range of pre-Suez days. As prices increase, so did sftles of such baby cars imported from the continent as the Citroen 2 CV, Fiat 600, Coggomobile, Lloyd, Janus, Isetta, Heinkel and Messerschmitt.

Interest also has been increasing in Britain's own small cars-- the Ford Anglia, Prefect and Squire, the small Austin, Standard and Morris Minor. A "baby car" usually seats three. A "small" car seats four to six, has four wheels, a four cylinder engine anil gets M-50 Wrnuse America's Largest Stffing TOILET TANK BALL htoiiy running toiled can waste over 1000 gallons of wafer a day.

Production of baby cars has been a continental specialty but now several British companies are coming out with models. In every case they say they intend trying to export to the United States. Their goal is to make two car families out of American one car families. British dealers sell about 800 Heinkel cabin cruisers a month. "The only reason we don't sell more," said a London agent, "is the shortage of shipping space from Germany vi'here they are made." A three or four wheeler, the- cruiser will carry two adults and two children 100 miles on an imperial gallon.

Their 44 miles per gallon capabilities are their top selling attraction.

"Some customers do not seem to care much about anything else," one dealer said. Alcohol Used To Tame Fish LOS ANGELES (UP) Now they've found something to tame even an albacore-- alcohol. Alcohol, of a heavier variety than that found in whisky, is proving effective for tranquilizing ish during transport from aquariums or scientific study. Two University of California ichthyologists have been experimenting with such techniques at Vfarineland. a southern California aquarium.

albacore are caught and placed in a tank for shipment, thev swim about wildly and thrash themselves to death. Even if they survive, they use up vital oxygen in the crowded tanks. Phis is -true of many other rapidly swimming fishes. Sedation with the heavy alcohol qutets the fish, the researchers, thus i ov i chances of their transport. Iodine is made from the nitrate Parking Violations May Key Others CHICAGO Iff) Disrespect for enforce inent often begins with abuse nf the parking privilege, according to Leslia J.

Sorenson, a city traffic 'engineer. "Violation 'of parkins regulations is taken more lightly by the public than any other Jaw violation on th? books," Soreraion told a convention of parking meter distributors. "The breakdown of enforcement which begins with such minor offenses as parking too often leads to more serious traffic violations which in turn cause fatal mishaps on and highways."

One is that they are the "incarnation of fat dividends." The other is that they are ill-off and indigent. The first Impression was given some substance by a reputable economist when he Issued a statement to the effect that "all of the nation's wealth would be in feminine hands In less than 100 years." The focond idee may ooze from a morass of Biblical injunctions, lega.l enactments and ancient adages, to the latest newspaper report of a young widow with a number of children being left destitute when her husbahd met accidental death.

Of course, there are widows who wade In wealth while others are poor as church mice, but extreme examples cannot be used to validate erroneous impressions. In the main, the financial condition of a family "broken" by the death of its breadwiriner reflects three things 1. The earning capacity of the family (of the father only in most cases) prior to his passing. 2. His sagacity in providing income for his family in the event of his death.

3. The total thriftiness of the family group before as well as after his passing. What does the average woman have to go on should she become a widow? In tlie first four decades of this century, life insurance, as an average per family, increased from $540 to 54,000. More than 600 per cent. But in 1955, the average proceeds per policy amounted to only $1,349.

A recent survey in one large city indicated 7 per cent of the families had no life insurance. Don't censure the insurance companies. Among the sellers of service, and theirs is vital, they are as aggressive as any. A widow with small insurance proceeds should conserve the amount to the utmost and salt it WIDOW rces of 1 Be emergencies. That is the wise thing to do.

Immediately, she uliould ilnil out If nhe Is eligible for Social Security benefits. For herself and two under-18, unmarried children, she may be entitled to monthly payments of 'up 'to (300. After the children are 18 and if none disabled, and if she Is under 62, she wi'Jl receive no payments until she attains that age. Application should be made to the nearest Social Security district office. Three other public assistance programs are in effect.

Whi Social Security is the only one administered by the Federal Government, Old-Age Assistance, Aid for Dependent Children, and Aid for the Needy Blind are operated by the states in cooperation with the Federal Government. The general rule regarding the rendering of aid under those programs Is that it shall be given In relation to actual need. The nearest public welfare office will supply information. An estimated three million of the employed homemakerg in the U.S. are widows.

For that reason, mention should be made regarding unemployment insurance. It is designed to provide workers with weekly payments when they are out of work. While the system is operated by the states, the Federal Government defrays the cost of administration. Complete information regarding a state's regulations and requirements may be obtained from its State Unemployment Compensation Commission. Generally, its offices are located in the state's capital city.

Because a number of women are widowed as result of fatal- occupational accidents, they should be reminded that death benefits may be available to On.

The main objective of workmen's compensational legislation is to provide payments to injured employees or to those killed in the course of employment. Specific information regarding the workmen's compensation requirements of each state may be obtained from its Industrial Commission. Its offices, usually, are located in the capital city. Benefits are available to widows and orphans of war veterans. The Veterans Administration will assist cliiimaius in preparing and presenting their cases In the field offices and in the central office.

It appears that the 400,000 worn- en who enter widowhood in an average year will have resources from various sources, in cash and in prospect, amounting to approximately eight billion dollars, or an average of $20,000 each. Admittedly, that is an educated estimate based on the best opinion and information available at the time it was made. Averages may be an abomination to some people. However, the figure' mentioned here indicates that as a class, widows do not roll in riches. Neither do they roll in the dust.

Norway To Test Pupils' Hearing OSLO-- Norway's health authorities are planning a nationwide test program to spot defective hearing in school children. A sample examination in North Proende-lag revealed, that 4.2 per cent of the pupils were hard of rearing and neither the children themselves nor their parents nor their teachers knew it.
