Tobacco Slocb
Drop Slightly
Stocks of all types of leaf to
bacco totaled 3,(172 million pounds
(farm-sales-weight) on October 1.
1950. This is slightly lower than
on the same date last year when
3,090 million pounds were repori
ed by dealers and manufacturers
in the United States and Puerto
Rico.
Higher stocks of most types did
not compensate for the lower
holdings of flue-cured leaf.
During the third quarter, July
September 1950, approximately
* 800 million pounds entered stocks
through purchases and deliveries
compared with 810 million for the
same quarter last year. The mar
ketings consisted of around 180
million pounds of flue-cured to
bacco with the remainder compos
ed of Maryland and cigar-leaf.
For the southern types, hold
ings of flue-cured decreased
around 4 percent from a year ago,
as contrasted with increases of 2
percent in Burley stocks, 5 per
cent for fire-cured tobacco, and 8
percent for dark air-cured.
For the cigar-leaf types, stocks
of the filler types were 5 percent
larger than a year earlier, binder
types increased 10 percent, and
shade-grown was up 5 percent.
The auction sales for the 1950
flue-cured tobacco crop began in
July, and producers marketed
around 780 million pounds dur
ing the quarter- slightly less than
was marketed before October 1
last year.
Stocks of flue-cured leaf in the
hands of dealers and manufac
turers totaled 1,857 million pounds
compared with stocks of 1,941
million on October 1 a year ago.
Slate College Tips
. To the Housewife
The velvets, velveteens and
corduroy's, being worn so much
this year, need special treatment
to keep fresh appearance and wear
well, say clothing specialists.
Velvet, whether silk or rayon, is
a more delicate fabric than cotton
velveteen or corduroy, and marks
or crushes more easily, especially
• when damp. Dry cleaning rather
than washing is recommended for
velvet. Many corduroys and some
velveteens may be washed at
home, but it is safest to test a sam
ple in advance to see if it is fast ■
in color or shrinks.
Steaming velvet is the easiest ;
way to smooth wrinkles and life |
crushed places. Hang velvet gar- j
ment on a hanger in a steamy
bathroom for an hour and then let
it dry. Be sure it hangs free—per
haps from a shower bar -so that
nothing touches it until it is en
tirely dry. Small garments or vel
vet pieces may be steamed over
the spout of a tea kettle.
Corduroys may be pressed on
the long side when slightly damp
to remove wrinkles.
Velveteens also may be pressed
but they take a little more care.
Here s how: Lay a strip of velve
teen right up over the ironing
board. Then press the velveteen j
oil the wrong side after dampen J
ing slightly. Press until nearly
dry, then brush the right side to'
lift the nap. The strip of velveteen
over,tlie ironing board takes the
place ot the “velvet hoard" used
by dressmakers and tailers Im
pressing napped fabric. It is es
pecially helpful to prevent mash
ing seams, hems, or other double
thickness of velveteen.

Interesting Bits Of
Business in U. S.
Soap sales hit the skids during
I950's first half, slipping 11 per
cent from 1949 peaks. Meanwhile,
;i synthetic detergent "clean-up"
balanced the loss, resulted in an
industry-wide sales gain of nearly
4 per cent . . Columbia Records
has wound up its two-year disc
war with RCA Victor. The com
pany that opened up the long
playing field with its 33 1-3 rpm’s
has at least decided to experiment
with a few of the "45’s" which
Victor has been plugging. Victor
started making LP’s a few months
ago. . . The trend to supermarkets
shows no signs of slackening. Ap
proximately 58 per cent' of Super ,
Market Institute members are
readying plans to build this year;
another 37 per cent have remodel
ing projects in'the works. . Man- ■
power woes arising from the Ko
rean crisis are already pinching
many firms. And the unemploy— ■
ment total on Aug. 1 was estimat
ed at about 3,200,000 - down over
a miHid/1 fAim the peak early in I
1950. . j
Married men are considered to
be the best listeners. It’s prob- i
ably another case of practice ]
makes perfect. !
j U.N. Home Rising
A UNITED NATIONS blueprint for
building it studied by rivet fore
man Joseph Jones as he balances on
a girder of the new General Assem
bly and Security Council structure
in New York. The completed U.N.
secretariat office on East RtTCr site
looms behind him. (International).
THE RECORD
SPEAKS . . .
!
Accident record figures, al
ready far ahead of previous
records, continued to climb
in the 49th week of 1950, ac
cording to highway patrol re
ports. At least one of the re
cent accidents were caused by
glaring headlights, it was re
ported.
The following tabulations
offer a comparison of the ac
cident trend: first, by corres
ponding weeks in this year
and last and for each year to
the present time.

Comic Books Not
So Bad Aiier All
Publishers of comic books, es- I
pecially those dealing with crime, !
are breathing a little easier as a
result of a survey conducted by a j
Senate Committee investigating
th< n effect on children Nearly
100 public officials, publishers and
child guidance experts were asked I
if they thought there was any re- 1
lationship between reading comic |
books and juvenile delinquency. I
The answers, including one at-1
tributed to J. Edgar Hoover, were |
preponderantly "no." In the hands ,
of an unstable child, the FBI !
chief said, horror comics might
prove disturbing. The majority
advised restraint in presentation
of comics and guidance or con
trol by the parents of children
overly excitable.
