B of A sees state foreign California foreign trade is expected to triple in volume to $14 billion by 1980, according to a report on California waterborne trade issued by the Bank of America, The state's overseas trade volume ‘doubled between 1957: and 1966, the latest year for which complete data are available. At the same time, the bank reported California's share of total U. S. world trade increased from 6.5% to 8.2%, California foreign trade in 1966 amounted to $4.6 billion. In compiling 1966 figures on trade through the state's custom districts, the bank noted that, in terms of dollar value, the San Francisco Customs District exported more than the Los Angeles and San Diego districts combined. San Francisco exports amounted to $896 million, compared with $692 million for Los Angeles and $43 million for San Diego. In terms of total tonnage of exports and imports and dollar value of imports, however, Southern California outstripped the northern portion of the state. Southern tonnage totaled 9,8 million tons agains 5.7 million for the north, The value of imports was $1,268 million for Los Angeles, $41 million for San Diego, and $889 million for San Francisco, Reflecting a decline in the U.S. trade surplus the bank's summary of data showed that the dollar value of waterborne foreign imports passing through California ports increased much more sharply than exports in the 1960's, Imports jumped from $1.2 billion in 1966 while exports increased less rapidly from $1.1 billion to $1.6 billion, Emphasizing California's geographical advantages as a natural gateway to the nations bordering the Pacific and Indian oceans, the bank said the transPacific countries are California's biggest trading partners.

The CSAA pointed out that many of the younger tots will be going to school for the first time and therefore have not developed proper safe walking habits. Citing national figures revealed in a recent AAA nationwide study, the motoring organization indicated each year some 500 school children aged 5-14 are killed and nearly 11,000 are injured as they travel to and from school, Because the AAA study showed that kindergartners and first grade youngsters suffer the greatest number of school route pedestrian injuries, the CSAA urged parents to walk with their children on the opening day of school to make certain that the youngsters select the safest route to school, Parents should avoid driving children to school if at all possible for this only adds to confusion around school areas thus creating very hazardous conditions for all youngsters going to school. sania ise EE ESTIMAT ES _VAN & STORAGE _PHONE 273.2206 .
