MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON TUESDAY. DECEMBER 11. 1962 .bi V. if -iat.U.ii-'itfaft..J Edited by the Mail Tribune Advertising Department '63 OUTLOOK BRIGHT. The nation's retailers can look for a continued sales gain In 1963. Assuming no prolonged international crisis, retail sales next year will climb to about $239 billion, up nearly $6 billion, or almost 3 from this year's level, predicts John A. Barr, chairman of the board, Montgomery Ward & Co. Retail sales this year should top last year by over $14 billion, an increase of a little more than 67c, reports the New York Herald Tribune. Mr. Barr expects the '63 increase to come primarily from sales of non durable goods, which should increase from 160 billion to $166 billion.

NEW CAR SALES CON TINUE UPWARD. New car sales in 1962 pushed over the six million mark in Novem ber as the nation s dealers scored a record 657.124 sales for the month, reports The Wall Street Journal. Volume was up 12 from a year earlier, when 585,125 sales were report ed. At the end of 11 months, sales of U.S. made autos totaled 6,191,969, up 23 from 5,052,191 a year earlier. If December's volume matches or tops the 504,000 deliveries of December, 1961, total U.S. car sales this year will be around 6.7 million. This will be up sharply from 5.6 million deliveries a year ago. Adding 300,000 import car sales would push the year's total to seven million. Officials also say used car sales, considered an indicator of new car business to come, were strong. K. E. Staley, General Motors vice president, distribution, said: "Used car sales currently are maintaining the proportionate rate of in crease dealers are enjoying in new car sales. During the month of November, used car sales have increased more than 10 over the same period of last year to approximately the pace set in new car sales." M. S. McLaughlin, assistant general manager of Ford division said: "When used car sales are strong, so are new car sales and we're in the middle of a hot used-car market." However, other auto executives and dealers note used car sales are not keeping pace with the new model boom.

The Christmas season, which runs from Thanksgiving to December 25, tradi tionally accounts for half of the greet ing card industry's annual sales, states The New York Times. This year a rec ord 3 billion Christmas cards, valued at over SGOO.000,000 at retail, will be sold, accord ing to estimates prepared by the Greeting Card Association. This is an increase of some 5 over 1961 sales. The association also reported that the average American family will mail about 56 cards with a median price of 15 cents. Greeting card companies see a con tinuation of the return to cards of a religious nature that began six years ago. However, they report, there is no great surje in this direction.

INCREASED HOUSING STARTS SEEN FOR '63 Private housing construction in 1963 will lop this year's expected level by less than 2, the Commerce Department estim ates.

The agency said private farm and nonfarm housing starts in 1963 will total about 1,450,000 units, up slightly from an expected 1.425,000 starts this W$ ft In k ' 1 Declaration of Human Rights Adopted by UN 14 Years Ago United Nations, N.

Sec retary General Thant said that freedom, justice and world peace can be assured only through the international promotion and protection of the rights set down in the declaration. Thant said adoption of the declaration 14 years ago was the first step in meeting "the moral challenge of our time." "Tile ultimate goal must be to translate into the realities of everyday life the norms set forth in this declaration," he said. "The achievement of this goal will justify all our effort, all our resourcefulness and all our faith." Assembly President M u hammadd Zafrulla Khan said the declaration of human rights "reflects the aspi a tions of all mankind towards the enjoyment of a common inheritance in conditions of peace and freedom." From its beginning, the United Nations has concerned itself with the promotion and Air Force Officials Hope Civilian Will Tell Murder Story Mountain Home, Idaho-UIPD -Air Force officials remained hopeful today they will get a civilian to repeal at a mili tary hearing his confession to murders they have charged to an airman.

SANTA HAS ALREAD ARRIVED with new 1963 auto scat cover styles according to Bernard Piels, owner of the Medford Sure-fit store at 437 So. Central. "In keeping with the trend in recent years," says Piels, "Sure Fit seat covers, more than ever be fore, look like original upholstery. Full leatherette trim dominates the '63 line. Colors, in greater variety than ever, approximate and duplicate original Detroit colors in many styles. New woven plastics and body cloth fabrics combine high style with 'easy clean' utility.

Their styling department keeps in close touch with automobile manu facturers. Patented double-stitched construction and expert installation have made Sure-Fit stores among the industry leaders.

The UN charter cites this as a basic purpose of tho' rganizalion. Principal Architect The declaration of human rights was adopted by the general assembly at its ses sion on Dec. 10, 1948. It was the result of efforts by tho commission on human rights, whose first chairman was tho late Mrs. Franklin D. Roose velt. Mrs. Roosevelt was chairman for five years and was a principal architect of the declaration. In 30 articles, the declara tion sets forth basic rights and fundamental freedoms. These include the rights to life, liberty and security of person; freedom from slavery and servitude; freedom from rbitrary arrest; the right to own property: freedom of thought and religion and opinion and expression; tho right to work and to educa tion, and others. The declaration has been described as an international Magna Carta. It is not a legal instrument, but it possesses a moral authority which can not be ignored. It is generally recognized as a statement of general principles of the high est order. Many Provisions The declaration contains many provisions based on na tional constitutions and bills of rights. Since it was adopt ed, the declaration is consid ered to have exercised a great influence upon the minds ol men and women and upon the actions of governments. It has been translated into all the main languages of tha world. The human rights program that was developed and is de veloping in the United Na tions is, to a large extent, conceived within the frame work of the declaration. At the current assembly session, the social, humani tarian and cultural commit tee has dealt with such items as the consent to marriage. rights of asylum, and racial prejudice and religious intolerance. Idaho Power Bond Sale Authorized Washington -IUPH-The Fed eral Power Commission Mon day authorized Idaho Power Co., Boise, to issue up to $30 million in unsecured promis sory notes during 1903.
