Every conceivable support was
; jgiven to "Safe Driving Day"
if f observed on December 1st.
Officials from the President
on down asked for public co-
operation. Newspapers and
other media of communication
thoroughly publicized the Day
and its goals. All manner of or-
ganizations—police, civic, labor,
business, agricultural—did their
. full part. Yet the death toll
i':V was much higher than on the
PP[ same day a year before.
Between now and New Year's
tth pleasant activity is that the
nation's highways and city
streets will be choked with holi-
day traffic. All through De-
cember, adverse weather condi-
tions will be common over much
cf the country. Hours of dark-
ness will be greater. There
will be more numerous oppor-
tunities and greater inclination
to mix alcohol and gasoline. The
modern automobile is a wonder-
ful thing with its power steer-

Day there will be more parties,
celebrations, get-togethers and
family reunions per hour than
at any other time of the year.
Aside from an occasional bout
of overeating, staying out too
late, or pocket-book twinge, most
Americans will be in a position,
materially speaking at least, to
enjoy themselves.
One bad side-effect of all
ing, power brakes, power win-
dows, automatic shifting and 300
horse-ipower. Even the most stu-
pid motorist can start, stop, and
generally steer one of these le-
thal projectiles.
There's one thins;, however,
that still works just as it used to
in the old days, and that is the
driver's head—he still has to use
it. It is the only accessory
which can prevent accidents.
This season is an especially
good time for all of us to re-
member that fact.
Resources must be put to pro-
ductive use, or thev are of
value to no one. This is a
basic fact of life, and the pace of
modern civilisation brings it
ever closer to home. Develop-
ment of oil tideland areas in the
past few years is a case in point
When the legal roadblocks were,
removed by a supreme court de-
cision," returning ownership*of
tldelands to the various states,
oil exploration and drilling
proceeded with almost explos-
ive force. Nearly 90 firms
mushroomed into action in the
Gulf of Mexico. It is estimated
that over $800,000,000 has toon
expended on developing off-
shore oil lands, and this is only
the beginning. Oil lying be-
neath the sea is valueless. When
utilised, it brings new prosperi-
ty to workers and enterprises all
over the country, and millions of
ta revenue to public - treasuries.
So far the return to the oil
companies on their investment
has amounted to only about one
dollar for every six or seven
put in. But many experts be-
lieve^ that petroleum reserves be-
neath the tidelands may be as
great as those in the whole land
area of the U.S. As long as the
chance for successful drilling and
profit exist, new operations will
be undertaken by many differ-
ent organizations within the in-
dustry, each one looking for a
new approach or a new idea.
The American oil industry his
shown that maximum resource

NONGAHELA NEWS: "Business
men in America always have ac-
cepted risk as part of the price
of freedom, and oart of the
price of successful business op-
erations. But nobody willingly
is going to take risks unless
there is a good reason, a strong
incentive, for doing 90."
cooperative as possible
this annual American pastime,
but before getting Into any ar-
guments with a reluctant clerk
or manager, better take a look
at the legal situation involved.
You may find that persuasion is
more in order than demands for
adjustment.
Department stores are under
no legal obligation to take back
a purchase and refund your
monay or deliver other goods in
exchange just because you
changed your mind. Most stores
do make refunds and exchanges,
But that is because it is. their
policy to do so—net because
they are required to.
However, a promise to refund
or —merchandise made
by the store or the salesman
should be honored. Similarly,
if a store misrepresents • the
quality of certain goods or if the
goods are defective, you are
Justified in expecting a satisfac-
tory sdjustment. But you have
no more legal right to expect s
store to refunll, or exchange be-
cause you chsnged your mind
about a purchase than-the store
has to ask you to give back the
goods that were sold to you be-
cause it didn't want to sell them
after all.
Suppose you buy a coat in one
store and find that another
company has it on sale for five
dollars less. Must the store
where you bought it take back
the coat and give you a refund,
or refund the difference in price?
The seller Is under no obliga-
tion to refund the difference, any
mOre than he could make you
pay the difference if he dis*'
covered that a competitor offer-
ed the saipe coat at a higher
price than he had charged for
it-.
Much the same rules apply to
the refund of deposits. Unless
it is the polky of a store to re-
fund deposits on articles, or at
least apply the amount on Qa
purchase of soma other item, the
buyer is obligated to go through
with the terms of the contract,
even though he has chaeved his
mind about the purchase\
When one selects, orders, and
deposits money on the purchaae
of an article, the store is un
