Textile Industry Expenditures Top Half-Billion NEW YORK ? For the fifth calendar year In a row, U. S. tex tile mills have spent, 01 committ ed, more than half h billion dol lars for new plants and equip ment, Textile World, McGraw Hill publication, reports In its an aual analysis of the industry. This year's expenditures will total almost $376,000,000, the third highest amount in U. S. his tory, topped only by 1950 and 1951, the magazine says. Almost 70 per cent of the funds have been put into cotton and aynthetic-fiber processing mills. Factors that have stimulated confidence among progressive otitis have been: the Increasing population of the U. S.; the lower raw. material prices .^hat appear to be in the offing; assured con tinuance of the system by which government contracts go to the most efficient producer and the rapid' tax amortization conces sions granted this year. Many mills working on government contracts were allowed to spread their equipment ? amortization costs In bigger chunks each year, usually over a five-year period instead of the usual 15 or 20 jnears. .... . The business slump of the first half of the year did not affect long - term modernization plans of most mills, the magazine points out. However, many are expecting decreased earnings, at the year's enil because of the slump. To Rrltei r Misery of t,?V?)6 uqgio on ? Alters - iami iajt wuii pMTNt&ir?

PONTIAC, MICHIGAN -First of the General Motors units to announce new models, the Ponti ac Motor Division Saturday un veiled Its 1953 line of Dual-Streak Chieftain cars and the new mo del is now on display at Kincald Pontiac Company, Iiessemer City. For 1953 Pontiac introduces a completely new line of automo biles with new roomier bodies, mounted on longer wheelbase chassis, with important improve ments incorporated in styling, riding qualities, ease of steering, and ?fuiipnlcnt?: ant'. in 'he <*ase of. the six cylinder model, sub stantially increased power, Mr. Cri tch field Says. Kleven body styles are incorpo rated tn the new Jine.in three series, the Special. Deluxe and Custom.

An addition to the line is the two seat station Wagon withholding rear seat ar rangement. Each series is intro duced With either eight or six cy linder engines. The overall steering ration of the 1953 Pontiac has been in: creased from >22 to 1 in 1952 up to 25 to 1. This, with other sus pension changes, reduces the t steering effort by as much as 20 [per cent, thus noticeably* Contri buting to easier driving and park ing. To accomplish this change, ! .*i modification was made within 1 1 lie st c.oi ing gear, to permit great | er roller travel, and the steering * gear housing was 1 owe rod slight ly. "while the Plttman arm shaft has been shortened. t t For Its 1953 models, Porttiac has developed a new hood latch ing mechanism with integral safe ty Hook. No longer is the opera tion of the latch controlled from within the car. Access to the re lease is. from the front of the hood. A safety catch acts as a guard against raising of the hood should the latch become ac cidentally disengaged. Oil pump capacity on both the 8 cylinder and 6 cylinder engines in the new 1953 Pdntlacs has been increased to provide more power and improved durability. The improvement consists of Jar ger gears as well as a new oil pump body and drive gear shaft. The new oil pump has a capacity of 3.3 gallons per minute at a car speed of 60 miles an hour. An improved horn button me chanism will be found or\ 1953 Pontiac Special models. The change includes the adoption of a crowned metal washer spring instead of the rubber formerly used, which was subject to con siderable variations in its charac teristics at different tempera tures The new assembly operates uniformly in spite of tempera ture changes. A larger horn but ton eap has been designed In con nection with this new operating 1 mechanism. Back-up Lights ' Back-up lights, of new design and higher illumination, are now positioned near the lower and outer edge of the rear deck lift on the new Pontiac for 1933. Be sides serving thejr original pur pose As backup- lights, they are; now so designed as to permit II lumln.ii.itg the rear area of jhe car' for rear tire changing or other needs. Since they raise with the (leek lid they also serve ?? as ] effeeiive safety lights when the car is- stopped at night. I More Trunk Room, The revised styling of the rear deck < ?f the new Pontiac has' re suluvl in a higher' trunk lid. great er trunk capacity, and a new for mation of the lid opening with , the result that the opening area, is considerably greater.

Ignition Key Starting Starting the motor becomes a simple, one-hand operation in the new 1953 Pontiac with the start ing switch now combined with the ignition lock. When the igni tion key is inserted in the lock, a clockwise turn of the lock cylin der 70 degrees will activate the starter switch and. at the same time, complete the ignition cir cuit. After the engine has started the operator need only release the key and a spring automatically returns the lock cylinder to the, ignition "on" position, where it Will remain until the operator manually turns the Ignition off. In connection with the combi nation ignition lock-starter swit "eh in the new 1953 Pontiacs, new lighting application has been made in the form of a green lu cite ring. This giare-proof light illuminates the circumference of th? lock cylinder and the key slot. The ipnition lock lamp bulb is In the same circuit as the tail lamp, so that there is no dimming his illumination when the light sWitch iheostat is turned. Ti>e light remains as a reminder that the lock switch is on. even when all other Instrument panel lights are dimmed or out. Drivers of 1953 Pontiac cars accustomed to covering long dis tances will appreciate the increas ed capacity of the gasoline tanks. Formerly the tank size was 17% gallons capacity for both sedan and coupe models. In the 1953 line, it has now been Increased to 20 gallons, giving a wider driving range. tyorth Carolina is one of 12 states selected for a Senate com mittee study of the capital need ed to launch a successful farm ing enterprise; ... . . Danger lurks In Kitchen, FignresShow Do you "live dangerously" in your kitchen? Every filth acci dent In the home takes place In the kitchen, more than In any other room In the house, accord ing to the Institute lor Saler Living ol the American Mutual In the hustle and bustle ol preparing lor the holidays, the housewife may llnd her kitchen more dangerous than the busiest street intersection unless she remembers that a NEAT kitchen is a SAFE kitchen. Extra cooking lor the holiday guests can really be dangerous unless you maintain your kitch en In apple-pie order. A drawer left open or a cupboard door lelt swinging while you dash about between the stove and the re frigerator can result in nasty and needless ' bruises and scars. A knife lelt on a table when there are children playing about can bring tragedy. With the warm smell ol mincemeat cooking and the youngsters cracking nuts, the glow ol holiday lamlly gather ings should not be marred with kitchen mishaps. When you put the plum pudding on to steam remember to make certain that the double boiler handles do not protrude beyond the stove-other wise someone might, brush into' them and become scalded. Ins titute surveys show that the leading cause of burns in the home Is hot liquids, particularly as the accidents happen to child ren under live years ol age. Wipe up scattered grease, keep boilep and burners clean and the danger of a suden blaze will be lessened. To be on the safe side, keep a box of salt or baking soda handy to the stove so that you can smother an unexpected grease fire before It does much damage. Make certain there are no towels or curtains hanging near the stove that might en tice flames from the burners and start a major conflagration. Danger lurks not only around the cook stove, the Institute for Safer living survey shows. Some of the most serious kitchen acc dents are caused by falls. The wise homemaker uses only non skid types of floor wax and makes sure her kitchen floors are left safe by rubbing away all surplus wax. She doesn't cry over spilt milk, instead she quick iy cleans up and sees to it that. ! the floor is freie from suet dripp ings. stray walnuts that escaped the fruit cake mixture and fray ed leaves from tho bunch of eel i ery. I One parting bit of advice.- ? [sure the carving knife is good' and and- sharp when the man of i ;the house aims at the turkey, ? but he-sure to give Him a sturdy j fork and plenty of room. Then j stand by with the bandages just] | in case he has a really tough j , bout with the gobbler! The major part of the nation's food supply in fiscal- 1951-52 was used by American civilain and ! military populations. > About 15 j per cent, was exported. A few years ago farmers were urged to plant home orchard*. As a result there are many run down, neglected, home orchard skeletons to be seen today. Tree fruit* should not be planted un less you intend to take good care of them ? that means pruning, spraying, cultivation and fertili zation ? especially the last two operations. And it also means having the proper equipment to do those Jobs. You cannot spray a large tree with a hand sprayer, and you will not have worm-free, disease-free fruit unless you car ry out a spray program. F6r that reason the average home gardener might do better to stick to small fruits, grapes and ber ries. However, if it ' is desired to plant tree fruit; secure your trees from a reliable nursery even if they are a little higher in price. Recommended peach varie ties in order of ripening are ? Early Red-Fre, Dlxlgem, Red Ha ven, Golden Jubilee, Hale Haven, Belle of Georgia, Elberta, and Lizzie. All these are self-pollinat ing. Recommended apple varie ties in order of ripening are -r Lodi, Golden Delicious, Red De licious, Stayman, Winesap, and Rome Beauty. Some apple varie ties such as Red Delicious, Stay man, and Winesap will not polli nate themselves and, therefore, must be planted near Golden De licious, Rome Beatuy, or Grimes Golden in order to set a crop of fruit. Where space is limited and ap ples are desired, dwarf apple trees may be planted. They are much smaller in growth than the standard tree* and may be plant ed as close as eight feet apart. However, since the root system Is small the trees must be staked and tied up to prevent blowing over In storms. The same varie ties may be obtained as in the standard trees but they are much higher In price. ' A list of recommended varie ties of other tree fruits may be obtained from the Dept. of Hor ticulture, N. C. State Extension Service, Raleigh, N. C.
