Highway 77 near Lewisville. The latest fatality was re-
corded Monday morning.
Only nine persons had been killed in all Denton
County traffic mishaps at this same time last year.
Unless drastic steps are taken to curtail speeding and
reckless driving, Denton County is going to have a
shameful fatality record for 1957.__
Completion by 1958 of the two new lanes of U.S. 77
south of Lewisville will help minimize the danger of
accidents. Eight of the deaths were caused by head-on
crashes on the two-lane portion of the highway south of
Lewisville. However, six other deaths occurred either
on the four-lane stretch of highway or at intersections.
A total of 7,130 vehicles travel U. S. 77 south from
Denton daily. So it is understandable that cutting
down on the number of accidents isn’t going to be
easy. We have two suggestions.
1. That the State Highway Patrol maintain a vigor-
ous day and night radar check of U.S. 77 along the
four-mile strip where most of the fatalities of 1957
have occurred.
2. This is for you, Mr. and Mrs. Motorist: Observe
all speed limits and never trust the other driver.

after 11 months in office—as be to

leans now. over backwards to
avoid conflict with them.

died 11 days ago but was then
at the peak of his influence,

A discussion of the economic characteristics of re*
tail trade, by Jules Backman, Professor of Economics
of New York University, is of general interest today,
in the light of proposals to extend the federal mini-,
mum wage laws to all or a large part of retailing.
First of all, he points out, retailing is essentially
local in nature. Regardless of the size of the store,
its activities are centered in a relatively small area.
Second, retail stores usually are relatively small
both in size and volume .of business. For instance, a
chain store system may be a big business — but its
individual outlets are not Their volume of business
is often in line with that of independent stores oper-
ating in the local area. And they must compete locally.
He then explains that employment in retail trade
also has certain special characteristics. While retail-
ing offers relatively stable opportunities for the basic
full-time staff, it also provides a marked amount of sear
sonal employment. It employs large numbers of part-
time employes and young and inexperienced workers,
whose services are of comparatively small value. And,
finally, wage rates are determined by local factors —
a statement that is as true of chain outlets as of any
other type of store.
These facts indicate why retailing and other service
enterprises of a local nature have been exempt from
the federal wage-hour laws during their entire exis-
tence. They indicate why that exemption should be con-
tinued, and regulation left to the states.
