Recommend Metric System
A systematic, nationally-coordinated U. S. changeover to the metric system of measurement over a 10-year period was recommended to Congress by Secretary of Commerce Maurice H. Stans in a 188-page report, "A Metric America-A Decision Whose Time Has Come."
The Report was prepared by the Department's National Bureau of Standards in accordance with the Metric Study Act of 1968. It represents the results of three years of studies, surveys, and analyses by the Bureau with the cooperation of thousands of individuals and organized professional, educational, business, labor, and consumer groups throughout the country.
In releasing the Report, the Secretary said, "For many years, this Nation has been slowly 'going metric', and it would continue to do so regardless of national plans and policies. At the same time, the worldwide use of the metric system is increasing, and today ours is the only major nation which has not decided to take such a step. As the Report states, a metric America would seem to be desirable in terms of our stake in world trade, the development of international standards, relations with our neighbors and other countries, and national security."
Nearly half of all auto deaths and injuries occur on weekends, and well over 50 per cent of all highway deaths occur between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., according to statistics compiled by The Travelers Insurance Companies.
