NEED A REMEDY
FOR DRIVING
^BOREDOM?
When you're alone, driving can
sure get boring without music.
And. if you're without music be
cause your auto rad "0 isn’t work
ing. then don't drive a foot
farther than our service shop.
For years now we’ve been offer
ing drive-up service on auto
radios of all makes. In our ex
perience, more often than not,
fixing your car radio won't take
any longer than an average
shopping visit to your favorite
bj,ery, delicatessen or hard
ware store.
8 Another thing we’ve
learned too, is that we
get good results with high
quality Sylvania tubes de
signed especially for auto radio
use. Guess that’s why many
la-ge auto radio manufacturers
use Sylvania tubes in the first
place.
So remember, if your auto radio
isn’t working, drive up for fast,
efficient service and drive off
to your favorite music.

Emergency VA
Hospital Cases
Are Explained
Georgia Veterans Service Di
rector Pete Wheeler says in
quiries are frequently made
about quickly admitting a vet
eran to a VA hospital in a
medical emergency.
The best way, he says, to
place a seriously ill veteran in
a VA hospital is for the vet
eran's private doctor to tele
phone the hospital’s admitting
doctor and discuss his condi
tion.
“This procedure insures the
fastest possible action,” Wheel
er commented, adding that the
Veterans Service Department
will assist veterans seeking
admittances in both emergen
cy and routine cases.
Wheeler also reports that a
veteran with a nonservice
connected condition may now
receive outpatient treatment
if he is scheduled for admis
sion or already a patient in a
VA hospital.
VA outpatient care for non
service veterans was recent
ly extended to provide them
pre-hospital and post-hospital
services.
Wheeler says laboratory and
x-ray examinations will be in
cluded. along with other be
fore-and after hospital treat
ment. without actually plac
ing these veterans in a bed.
Blind people today are found
in more than 7,000 types of

Factory Pay
Held Steady
In January
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Fac
tory workers’ spendable earn
ings were steady and buying
power was virtually unchang
ed between December and Jan
uary, the U. S. Labor Depart

tics announced.
Spendable earnings in both
December and January were
$79.97 a week for a factory
worker with three dependents
and $72.44 for a worker with
‘ out dependents. Earnings
normally fall back in January
। from their overtime-heighten
ed levels of December, but this
year earning were down in De
। cember because severe snow
' storms cut back hours of work
[Compared with November.
! January's spendable earnings
। were down by about 65 cents
। or almost 1 percent.
Because of the relative sta
bility of consumer prices, the
buying power of factory work
। ers' earnings was also virtual
। ly unchanged between Decem
' ber and January and almost
I 1 percent below the Novem-
I ber 1960 level.
Since January 1960, spenda
■ ble earnings have fallen about
I 2 1/2 percent as a result of
I reduced hours of work, and
I buying power has dropped
| about 4 percent because of the
additional effect of higher
I prices
For 1960 as a whole, spenda
ble earnings averaged about
$Bl a week for a worker with
; three dependents and about
$73.50 for a worker without
dependents, almost 1 percent
i higher than in 1959. Factory
work er s’ “real” spendable
earnings in 1960 averaged
■ $64.07 (in 1947-49 dollars) for
। a worker with three depend
| ents, or 124 percent of the
I 1947-49 average. This was
I about one-half of 1 percent

Trucking Tests
Cited As School
Bus Driver Help
A TRX magazine article re
ports that Georgia school bus
accidents caused by driver er
rors were cut in half for 1960
during an intensive screening
of the drivers.
Current issue of the Georgia
Motor Trucking Association
publication reports that dur
ing the last six months of 1959
and most of last year, all 5,393
of the state’s school bus drivers
were tested by the GMTA Dri
ver Testing Lab as it covered
the state.
Accident involving faulty
operation by the bus drivers
dropped to 18 per cent of the
total number of mishaps, com
pared with 38 per cent in 1959.
In addition, fatalities drop
ped from 11 to 1, and injuries
dropped from 60 to 47.
An increase in reported ac
cidents. from 115 to 129, is at
tributed by Joe T. DeFoor, as
sistant director in charge of
transportation for the State
Dept, of Education, to “a bet
ter reporting job.”
Administered in a tractor
trailer unit testing lab operat
ed by the trucking association
in cooperation with the Edu
cation and Public Safety de
partments, the tests showed
2.246 men with no safe-driving
deficiencies: 1,203 with cor
rectable physical deficiencies
(poor vision correctable by
glasses, for example), as well
as informational shortcomings;
and 252 were completely dis
qualified.
County school superinten
dents were under instruction
from the State Board of Edu
cation to replace “hopeless”
drivers and see that others
were brought up to par, follow
ing a series of school bus ac
cidents in early 1959.
Since 1949, the GMTA lab
has tested upwards of 150,000
professional and non-profes
sional drivers for vision, reac
action time, steadiness and
other physical necessities for
safe-driving, in addition to
familiarity with traffic signs
and rules of safety.
Complete use of the lab was
given the Education Dept, by
both GMTA and the State Pa
trol while the school bus drivers
were tested. The school bus
drivers also were given a tough
general physical exam.
