Saturday Termed Most Dangerous Day on Roadways NEW YORK (UPI) - Salur day is the most dangerous day of the week on the road. That's the conclusion of the Travelers Insurance companies' annual compilation of records of street and highway accidents nationally, based on state mo tor vehicle records. The company also reports people cause more accidents than roads, weather or defective vehicles. More than 38 per cent of the fatal accidents which took 40. 500 1 i v e s in 1962 occurred on week ends, 8,420 on Saturday.

In 19B2. 34.400 were killed in per fect weather. Other totals were: 1.100 in fog; 3,600 in rain, and 1.400 in snow. Icy roads were present at only 1.400 fatal accidents with 31, 640 persons killed in dry weath er. Slaughter on the road is most often the direct result of viola tions of rules of the road, ac cording to The Travelers. These include excessive speed, driving on the wrong side of the road, failing to yield the right of way and reckless driving. Driving after drinking is, of course, an open invitation to the undertaker. Driving too long without rest is another prime cause of accidents. Of the drivers in fatal acci dents in 1062, 43.800 were male and 6.400 were female. It is es timated that females constitute about 30 per cent of all licensed drivers and male drivers about 70 per cent. The exposure fac tors the amount of driving done by men and women and the conditions under which the driv ing is done, are unknown. Con sequently, there's no proof that women arc cither better or worse drivers than men. I Italian Youth Youngest Tire Dealer, Claim TARATNO, Italy (UPI) At Via Battista 59 in this Med iterranean seaport on the instep of Italy's boot, 15-year-old Ca taldo Ranicri docs a man's work in a manner that would make any man proud. Cataldo is probably the world's youngest tire dealer. He not only sells tires through his own dealership, but services customers' cars, repairs tires and tubes, handles contracting, delivery, stock ordering and all correspondence needed to con duct his thriving business. It is not unusual for a 15-year-old boy in Italy to hold down a full-time job. The aver age boy Cataldo's age in Taran to earns the equivalent of about $1.50 a day. In Cataldo's case, there are many differences. He earns enough with the Goodyear deal ership to support his entire fam ily with something to spare. The family consists of himself, his mother, his brother, Aldo. 9, a younger sister, Rita, 11, and an older sister, Lucia, 18, who is attending a secretarial school. Willed To Son When Cataldo's father died last fall at the age of 47, he be queathed the business to his el dest son. The family considered selling the dealership because of Ca taldo's age. He was just two months past 15. But Cataldo plunged into the business, work ing 11 to 12 hours a day, and was able to show a marked increase in business within the first six months. The tall, dark - haired boy gives the impression of being a little older, but not much. His customers and neighbors judge him as a good businessman who "knows what he is up to and knows how to make him self respected." In spite of all this. Cataldo won't be able lo legally drive a car himself for three more years. In Italy, the age for get ting a driver's license is 18. But there's some balm. At 16, the young tire dealer who can take cars apart and put them together again will be able to apply for a license to drive a motor scooter. About fiO per cent of all the world's farm tractors are in use on U.S. farms. f T9 ll - .-; . . 5 r : it fyr those who tm yomg 3S ; J jo , - ' r - I .

Press International RIVERSIDE, Calif. (UPI) Memo to eastern city slickers: If you're looking for cowboys, don't go to Wyoming or Texas. Come to California's Imperial valley. So says farm adivsor James B. Burgess of Elcentro, Calif., who has taken a long hard look at the Imperial valley, which has become the leading cattle feeding center in the United States during the past 12 years. "Imperial valley has more cowboys per square mile than the state of Wyoming," said Burgess. "But it's not like the Old West because we don't go in for roping and throwing cat tle these animals have to be babied to save every pound of grain for the market.' Oddly enough, practically none of the half million head of cattle fed in the valley are raised there. From Out of Stale The animals pour in from Idaho, Montana, Colorado and Texas. Beef on the hoof moves in and out of the valley like stocks and bonds in Wall street. The own er of a shipment may never see his livestock. He lifts a telephone and Im perial valley firms do the rest. The valley's climate, accord ing to Burgess, is ideal for cat tle finishing except during its' Diisienng jury, August and September. Feeders overcome this dis advantage by providing well ventilated shades, cool water and special hot-weather rations. Besides these items. Burgess said, animals are"tailormade" to withstand heat, having vary ing amounts ot uranma blood to give them high heat toler ance. Until recent years, summer heat was so big an obstacle that the feeding industry remained comparatively small. In the 1930s, the valley's 80,000 - head feeding industry ground to a halt. Ten years later, the industry had grown moderately to a peak of 160,000 head. But still heat stood in the way of a ma jor upsurge in numbers. In 1946, the University of Cal ifornia sparked the cattle feed ing industry as it is known to day by setting up research facil tics to find heat-tolerant cattle, improved shading and better hot weather feed. With better rail and truck service and spurred on by a rising demand for meat in southern Call fornia, Imperial county doubled its cattle-feed ing from 1930 to 1950. Beat the Clock? Ellsworth J.
