A. North Carolina Business Index. TTie November Index, release'! today, went from 109.9 in Octo- llier to a preliminary HOB or OB peKjent. However, the gain is approximately 0.7 percent below the level ifor November of 1969. A Wachovia Bank spokesman said the key developments re- laittng to the principal seasonally adjusted components of the In dex are: V Total non-farm employment Increased to the highest level since May of this year. • Spending by indiviiluals and businesses, as measured by bank debits, and alter adjustment for price increases and trading days, showed a healthy 3.7 percent gain. • Total manufacturing man- hours, which have followei a generally declining trend since mld-.1969, gained in October and held their own in November. Another important factor in the upward turn of the economic situation was that consanner pri ces rose by only OB percent dur ing November. This Increase was not quite as low as the August rise of 0.2 percent, but it was toe second smallest gain in con sumer prices this year. Increases for other months rang^ between 0.4 anj. 0.6 percent. Jobs in manufacturing showed the first significant increase since the beginning of the year on a seasonally adjusted basis. The increase in manufacturing employment resulted primarily from an increase in non-durable goods employment while durable goods Jobs continued to decline on a seasonally adjusted basis. In the non-d'U'rable goods sec tor, tobacco employment increas ed by 5.6 percent, food and kin dred products employment s.how- ed a gain df I percent chemicals employment increased by 1.1 per cent. but jobs in the textile anU paper industries remained tm- changed. In toe durable goods sector. Jobs increased by 0.4 percent and remained 3.8 percent below last jean’s level. Furniture em ployment gained 0.8 percent, but remained below lihe Novembar, 1989, level. Jdbs in government oontitiueld! to be very stron,g and servioea employment showed substantial gains during the month. A less vigorous increase was noted in the trade sector. Building permits in ilB North OaroUna cities declined by 3.5 percent during November, and It appears now that total bulMdng permits tor the year will run ap proximately 15 percent lower than for the ent'"5 period of 1909. An tonpro” ^nt in build ing, both on a con ■merctal and residential basis, is expected as 1971 'gets under way. An area affected by the gener al cteonomlc slow-down and the •Strike against General Motors has ibeen North Carolina Auto mobile sales, 'ratal registrations of new cars wore liown il9 per cent during November from Oc tober's level. It appears that to tal auto sales for <the year will 'be approximately .11 percent 'be low those for 0969, but It is an ticipated that sales ‘wiill sharply pick up after the first of the year, ’Truck sales also dropped— by 23B percent — and remained 17.5 percent 'below ‘the figures a year earlier. The Tar Heel employment sit uation showed improvement. Al though toe jobless rate has been inching upward since April, it dropped from 45 percent in Oc tober to 4d percent iduring Nov ember. However, the rate still is substantially above toe 2.9 per cent experienced a year ago. The U. S. Department of La bor reports that as of 'December 1 North Carolina has four areas wheee unemploj'ment is consid ered substantial. They are Eliza bethtown (Bladen County), Mar- shall fMadison County), Roxbo- ro (Person County), and \Vhite- vlile (Columbus County). In summary, it can be said that although 'the economic in- dloators reveal a marked Im- provement in business conditions, it still is too early to say thait this will continue thixmghout the state.

More than 29 million Americans have alreaily quit smoking, and North Carolina’s e(x>nomy may suffer slightly for a period, but not for lorl^, what with the diversifica tion of industries, the subsidiar ies, 'being picked up by the major cigarette-making companicis in 'the state. And the cigarette companies have n'Ot quit yet. They expect a high profit from continued sales, and they plan to step up tlieir ad vertising in newspapers and ma gazines, even though some of these have refused to acceprt cig arette alls. Women and blacks have been selected as special tar gets for 'big promotions in print. But there are ways to beat the brainwash and to start calling the shots yourself.
