Wad., jun 21, 1950 T?i Nwj-R Rasebufj, 0?, t Durable Goods Sale, Despite Higher Prices, Hike In Debts, Amazes Business Observers By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK (JW The boom in durable goods mies some o the experts. Neither higher pricea nor climbing personal debts stays the Amer ican public from buying more cars and more household gadgets than ever before, . The unusually high marriage rate since the war may be what's causing it, experts in the Commerce department opine. Fears of an approaching war may oe wnat s urging them on, says Paul G. Hoffman. "When inquiry is made of would be purchasers of cars," says the Marshall plan administrator, who used to head the Studebaker cor poration, "they often explain they , figured to play it safe and get a i car while the getting was good." Sales of all kinds of hard goods, as well as autos, are running high er than would be expected from in come and price levels, commerce department experts say. New car resistrations in the last four years ran 34 percent above mose in ine lour years immediately before the war, the department notes. But it adds there was a 50 to 100 percent gain in the postwar period in the output of refrigera tors, vacuum cleaners, electric ranges and electric washing ma chines. Apace With Building Boom This gain ran hand in hand with the home building boom. And the department links both in the un usually high marriage rate, which hit its peak in 1946 but is still above the prewar rate. But the depart ment experts think that by now deferred demand for household products has been satisfied and that soon "the usual market forces will determine sales o these prod ucts." The census bureau also reports that sales by large independent retailers this May were eight per cent higher than a year ago. Big gainers were dealers in lumber Distributed by Botes Candy Co, -frW stfeef- The natural sweetness of nourish ing corn wee t-toasted to a turn!

MOTHER KNOWS C Beer 2f r-LOJg-n and building materials, in autos, and in furniture. An optimism is rampant in Chi cago where furniture makers have opened their summer racket. Prices dn furniture are higher, too, some of them add. Increases up to five percent over the quota tions at the winter show were post ed by some producers. They point to rising costs of fine lumber. How ever, unless customer price resist ance develops, most delaers expect 1950 sales to top the record $2.7 billion set in 1948. Television set sales have taken a seasonal tumble, Ross D. Sira gttsa, president of Admiral Corp., told the dealers. In some places sales are down as much as 35 per cent from the peak of eight weeks ago, he says, but dealers' inven tories are so low that it wiil take several months output by the in dustry to get stores in readiness for the expected pickup this fall in buying. Carpet makers, who have just boosted prices for the third time in recent months, say no price re sistance has developed at the Chi cago market. On the other hand, they say that buyers are flocking to the carpet exhibits, order books in hand. Marriages, fear of war, generally good times, or whatever it is consumers continue to spend, and the industries they favor are doing mighty fine. Leave Fawns In Woods, Directive Of Game Board The game commission does not issue permits for individuals to keep deer in their possession, ac cording to Jim Vaughn, district supervisor of the Oregon State Game commission. Vaughn said the commission for merly issued the permits, but found this inadvisable and has since ruled against the practice. Fawns found in the woods and apparently abandoned should be left there, he said. Their chances of survival are better if left alone than if taken into captivity. Usually the mother deer will return if she has only been frightened away, according to Vaushn. He said that if it is known the ! motner deer is dead, the game The department sometimes raises the abandoned deer on special farms but often has to dispose of them. The principal- difficulty with granting permits, said Vaughn, is ' m ine release ot tne animals after they are large enough to care for themselves. Deer, both bucks and does, kept m captivity often become danger-' Lj 1 1- ....... - m. i tueu an example wnere a deer which had been released at tacked a small child from behind, i ine cnna, tnougn injured, was res cued after the deer was frightened away.
