THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
Auto Census
In County
On The Rise
(Special to the Progress-Argu*)
NEW YORK. Nov. 15—Butts
County’s auto population is large
and is steadily growing larger, ac-
I cording to the latest figures on
car registrations.
Local residents, enjoying better
incomes in recent years, have
been going for the new models
in a big way, trading in their old
er ones or keeping them as sec
ond cars for themselves or for
their teen-age children.
Asa result, the family car has
been having a greater impact
than usual on the local economy.
It commands a sizeable share of
the household budget.
Not only is more money being
spent today for the purchase of
cars. More money is being spent,
also, to maintain and service
them.
The expenditures in local ser
vice stations alone, for gas, oil,
repairs and incidentals in the past
year added up to $1,419,000. By
way of comparison, five years ago
it was $1,038,000.
The facts and figures on auto
populations and operating costs
are given, for all parts of the
country, by the Standard Rate
and Data Service.
It shows that there were 151
passenger cars in use in Butts
County for every 100 families at
the beginning of this year, a rel
atively high ratio.
In addition to the better in
comes earned today, which have
brought car ownership within the
reach of most families, other
factors that have contributed to
the increase in the auto popula-
tion are better roads that are now
available and the greater need
of the automobile for transporta
tion, now that so many more peo
ple are living in suburban areas.
In Butts County, it has pro
duced an increase in automobile
registrations from 2,710 listed in
1964 to the 3,600 reported this
year.
It represented a net increase in
the five-year period, after allow
ing for the number of cars that
were scrapped, of 32.8 percent.
Elsewhere in the United States,
the rise was 22.7 percent and,
in the South Atlantic States,
29.4 percent.
As for the near future, the
National Industrail Conference
Board believes that “a bullish
auto market is in prospect, fueled
by younger and more affluent
families.”
It finds that consumer spend
ing for new cars is increasing
faster than disposable personal
income. Currently, about six per
cent of the average family bud
get goes for car purchasing.

KITCHEN FIRES
Overheated fat can cause dan
gerous fires in the kitchen. Home
economists with the University
of Georgia Coperative Extension
Service suggest that homemak
ers keep an ample container of
baking soda near the range. Fat
fires can be quickly and safely
extinguished with baking soda.
