earnings up
TOLEDO, OHIO, July 27—
Owens-Illinois, Inc., sales and
earnings for the first 6 months
of 1966 rose nine per cent over
last year to $444,468,272, and
$27,259,929 respectively, the
highest of any 6 months period
in company htstory, J. P. Levis,
chairman of the board, reported
today.
Last year’s sales and earn
ings for the same period were
$404,670,552 and $24,887, 071.
After preferred dividend re
quirements, earnings per com
mon share were $1.77, compar- j
ed to $1.62 in the first six
months of 1965. Last year’s
earnings were restated to re
flect the change in deprecia
tion adopted last December for
book and financial reporting
only.
Second quarter sales totaled
$235,376,350 compared to $204,-
174,606 last year, while earn
ings rose to $14,829,704, a 10.3
per cent increase over 1965 2nd
quarter earnings of $13,446,-
229.
Second quarter earnings per
common share were 97 cents,
compared to 87 cents in 1965.
“The earnings were particu
larly gratifying in view of the
heavy costs the company is
absorbing in connection with
the largest expansion program
in its history,” Mr. Levis said.
“Sales of most company pro
ducts continued to rise during
the first half of 1966,” he add-
e. One-way bottle sales rose
significantly as a result of the
increasing consumer demand
:for convenience packages and
sales of other glass containers
also increased. Television bulb
sales continued to climb as a

Income Tax
Information
Q.—My return was audited
and the agent disallowed some
of my deductions. Is there any
way I still might be able to
claim them?
A—When you receive the
notice of the proposed adjust
ment to your tax liability, you
may request a district confer
ence. This will enable you to
present your side of the story
to a conference. Procedures for
requesting this conference are
described in the letter you will
receive enclosing the agent’s
report.
Q.—We sold some furniture
in our home at a loss when
we moved. Can we deduct this?
A.—No. Losses on the sale
of personal property are not
deductible.
Before you file next year’s
return, be sure to look into
the deductions and exclusions
you might be entitled to as a
result of your change of resi^
dence, however.
Q.—I’m a doctor and have
may own private practice. How
much can I put aside a year
for retirement?
A.—You may contribute to
a retirement plan as much as
$2,500 a year or 10 per cent
of income earned from your
Night driving
is hazardous
says SCHD
Vacationing drivers on South
Carolina highways should re
member that the fatal accident
rate is 2 1-2 times higher at
night than in the daytime, the
State Highway Department
pointed out today.
Handicaps of night driving
are factors to be reckoned with
regardless of a driver’s youth
or apparent good physical con
dition, including vision.
A tourist often finds himself
trying to cover toi many miles
in one day and is caught on a
highway—usually a strange
one—after the sun goes down.
If you are caught in this sit
uation, Highway officials sug
gest, it is better to seek lodg
ing at the earliest opportunity
rather than continue driving
in a tired condition.
While most persons realize
that tired drivers suffer impair
ed vision and judgment at
night and are often especially
subject to glare blindness, ma
ny do not realize that night
driving under ideal conditions
is difficult.
Studies show the average
stopping distance for an auto
mobile traveling only 55 miles
an hour is 260 feet. A danger
ous situation such as a stalled
auto in the roadway or a wan
dering animal usually won’t
be seen until the automobile
is within 200 feet. Thus, a col
lision will occur unless the
driver is unusually alert and
skillful.
Needless to say, older driv
ers and those with impaired
eyesight, have even less chance
of avoiding nighttime accidents
if they insist on driving, the
practice, whichever is less, same way they do in daylibht.
Your deduction for such con- Always slow down when the
tributions is limited to half sun goes down. Don’t over-
the annual amount, up to $1,-
250. Remember that if you set
up such a plan you must in
clude each of your full-time
employees who has completed
three or more years of consec
utive service.
