RETAILERS SEE SALES CAIN IN FIRST HALF 'M. Sixty-six per cent of the 159 retailers
participating in the National Retail Merchant's Association's survey anticipate a sales gain in the
first half of 1964 and 51 feel that profits next year will be ahead of the same period in 1963. The
median estimate for a sales advance is 5 while a 10 profit rise is the median figure antici
pated. Some 29 of the respondents predict sales will hold even with present levels, while 5
say they will fall below. Profits will hold even according to 4.1, while the 6 remainder predict
that they will drop. Last year, in a similar survey, only 57 of those answering then anticipated
a median rise in sales of 4. For 196.1, half of the respondents predicted higher profits, but with
only a 5 profit increase as the median estimate as compared with 10 now expected for 1964.
"This is one of the healthiest first-half sales and profit pictures disclosed by an NHMA survey in
recent years," it was noted. The survey revealed that over half of the store executives see an in
crease in credit sales for the first half of '64, 41 said they will remain the same and only 2
foresee a decrease.
'lit ECONOMIC PICTURE BRIGHT. "The inherent strength of our economy will prevail and
move ahead in the months to come, despite a brief period of uncertainty," said Dr. Marcus Nad
Icr, professor nf finance at New York University's Graduate School of Business Administration,
reports Daily News Record. "The year 1964 will be good. If anything better than 10(1:1. economi
cally speaking." Dr. Nadlcr noted. He said that he based his belief "on a simple analysis of the
forces that make our economy tick." The analysis, he pointed out, showed there would he a decline
in the amount of disposable consumer income spent on scrvicrs. He predicted this would result In
more money being spent for apparel and shoes. Other factors that Dr. Nadlcr believes will further
strengthen our economy Include: personal disposable Income Is rising , . . population is up and so
are wages; the year 1964 will be a good automobile year, making it three in a row. Reasons for the
onto rise arc the population increase, more two-car families, the rising number of youngsters
reaching driving age and requiring cars, and the availability of car financing; corporations arc
spending more on plants and equipment in efforts to be competitive.
BROWN & HALEY'S "CANDY
KITCHEN" PROVES SUCCESS.
Brown k Haley's new "Candy
Kitchen," the bright pink, gold,
white and black unit that is show
ing up these days in supermarkets
and super drugstores all over the
West, is catching on like chocolate
candy.
In connection with the celebra
tion of their fiftieth anniversary,
Brown & Haley, the T a c o m a,
Washington based producer and
marketer of confectionery prod
ucts, built a handsome unit to dis
play their popular Almond Hoca,
Fancy Chocolates and Fine Choco
lates. They tested the unit in Port
land, Oregon supermarket during
the summer. After one month, the
iMm ,' .1 J ff " riCJil sl0,e manager predicted that the
would iiu a minimum ui ?zo,uuu
worth of business for him the first
year.
So Brown & Haley let it be
known that they had units avail
able and the orders began pouring
in. One store ordered four units.
But Brown and Haley, trying to
build the "Kitchens" fast enough
to keep up with the demand had to
say, "No, only one to a customer."
Shown here is one of the Brown
& Haley Candy Kitchens at the
Big Y Shopping Center in Mcdford.
Brown & Haley was established in 191.1 wilh ten employees. Today the Company, under the
leadership of Fred T. Haley, president, employs approximately 275 men and women, lis prod
ucts, Almond Roca, Fancy Chocolates, Fine Chocolates, Mountain Bars and others, are marketed
throughout the United States, in Canada, England, Hong Kong, the Orient, the Philippines, Singa
pore, Tahiti and Australia. Last August 26th, Brown & Haley received President Kennedy's "E"
Award for outstanding achievement for successful export of its products. Secretary of Commerce,
l.uther Hodges presented the award to Mr. Hnloy in ceremonies at Washington, D. C. On October
3, Governor Albert D. Rosellini of Washington, members of the Regional Export Expansion Council
and representatives of the U. S. Department of Commerce took part in ceremonies at the Brown k
Hiilcy plant in Tacoma, at which time the blue and white "E" Flag was raised. The firm's em
ployees were presented with blue and gold "E" lapel pins.

SNOW TIRE SALES SOAR. Snow tires have been playing an increasingly Important reft in
over-all tire jalcs since the mid-1950s, reports The New York Times. Their share of the industry's
most lucrative market replacement times has advanced sharply since that time. In 1957,
snow tires accounted for about 7 of the replacement market. This year they are expected to
total about 11.5. In 1964, their share of this market could climb as high as 15,according to
industry sources. Sales estimates for 1963 from major producers range from 11 million to 13 million
tires. In 1962, about 10.8 million units were sold and as recently as 1957 only 3.9 million snow tires
were purchased. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company officials point out that while all passenger
tires have shown an increase of 27.6 in the last five years, special winter treads have climbed
by 143. New records are also expected to be set by snow tire retreads in 1963. An estimated 7
million winter retreads will be sold this year compared with 4.6 million in 1962.
TEENS HIGH ON SPORTS LOW ON EQUIPMENT. Some 9.3 million teen age girls, 83.8
of the total female teen population, bowl, indicates Seventeen Magazine's "Sports Participation
Study." Practically all swim (99.2 of the 11 million teen girls in the country); 82.8 ride bicycles;
70.7 ice skate; 54.1 roller skate; 65.5 play tennis and 54.1 ride. Almost half of the na
tion's teen girls have taken to water skiing and 19.2 snow ski. Golf is for 2.7 million teen girls.
With millions of young women so high on sports activities, ownership of sports equipment is
comparatively low. Slightly more than half own their own bicycles, ice skates and tennis rackets.
The fact that fewer than 12 have bowling, roller skating, water skiing, golf and snow skiing
equipment indicates a virtually untapped market for sporting goods stores.
NEWBERRY EMPLOYEES RECEIVE YULETIDE GIFTS. Christmas cash gifts were present-
ed to employees of the two Medford Newberry stores, according to Robert Alton, manager of the
downtown store and T. J. Waltman, manager of the new Medford shopping center store, Prcscnta
tion of cash gifts at this time of year is in keeping with the company's long-established policy.
With over 560 stores throughout the United States, several warehouses and five District Offices,
Alton said the Christmas gifts to Newberry employees this year would total $700,000. The amount
eacn employee received depends on length or service.
He also pointed out today that Newberry's has in force a Retirement Plan, as employees be'
come eligible, paid for by the company up to the first 52,000 of annual earnings, and by an em
ployee-company participation plan on earnings exceeding $2,000. In addition Newberry's provides
all its eligible employees with company paid Life Insurance Policies 'and shares in the cost to
them of sickness, hospital expense and surgical benefits insurance.
Also he explained that Newberry employees have a Stock Option Purchase Plan thru which
several thousand employees have become owners of their company's capital stock, and a discount
on company purchases at their store,

Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON - The dead
lock in Senate House confer
ences was ended this week with
tentative approval of several
education bills. This will pave
the way for Senate approval of
the "hostage - college aid bill
which has a provision for im
plementing Oregon's coopera
tive graduate research center.
Senate and House conferees
tentatively agreed to a com
promise on the Vocational Edu
cation bill, and extension of the
National Defense Education Act
and the Impacted Aid bill.
House conferees gave in on
accepting the principle of allo
cating money to States based
on per capita income as well
as population. This clears the
path for the college aid bill
which Sen. Wayne Morse has
been withholding from a final
Senate vote until t h e House
agreed to Senate terms. If the
Senate approves, the bill will be
sent to the White House f o r
President Lyndon Johnson's sig
nature. Ransom Money Paid
"The Senate has promised
that when the conference was
completed on this legislation
that they would take action on
the Higher Education bill," said
a weary Rep.' Edith Green.
"Needless to say, all of the
House conferees will be pleased
when the hostage is released
now that we have paid the
ransom money."
This was the closest Mrs.
Green has ventured in criticiz
ing Sen. Morse for his maneuv
ers and threats in withholding
Senate approval on the college
aid bill which Mrs. Green and
the House conferees very much
wanted, until House members
"paid the ransom money" by
approving the Senate version on
allocation of vocational educa
tion funds to the Slates.
The Vocational Education pro
gram is a continuing one, dating
back lo 1917, with expenditures
now totaling around $58 million
a year. The amount agreed to
tentatively is $45 million for fis
cal 1964, $121 million in 1965 and
escalating up to $243 million
each year after the fourth year.
The program will be revamp
ed by the States to train young
sters for the job market of to
day, with emphasis on the new
technology. However, agricul
tural and home economics pro
grams are still ongoing, only
broadened, to include jobs re
lated to agriculture and home
economics. An amendment by
Mrs. Green was accepted which
allocates 10 per cent of the
money spent for home econom
ics training to prepare young
women for jobs in the field.
The formula accepted by the
conferees grants more money
to the poorer Slates at the ex
pense of the richer ones, as has
been traditional in all education
bills. The House conferees
maintained that it was the con
gested cities, with the burgeon
ing population of youths aged
16 to 21 out of school and out !
of work that needed the money
more than the rural areas with
its diminishing job opportuni
ties. However, the Senators pre
vailed and the compromise 1
reached reduced somewhat the
proportion of money goine to
the southern States with the
lowest per capita income. Ore-!
gon should get around $379,000
a year for its vocational ed program.
Held in Committee
Impacted Aid was extended
for two years. This provides fed
eral money to those areas where
the schools are "impacted" with
cniidrcn whose fathers work at
federal installations. The pro
gram spends around $300 mil
lion a year.
The House had not completed
action on either NDEA or Im
civil rights rider attached which
bars federal funds to areas
which discriminate. The NDEA
bill was still in Mrs. Green's
subcommittee when the Senate
voted on it. The Senators at
tached both bills to the Voca
tional Ed bill.
It was agreed that her com
mittee would report out further
amendments on NDEA by the
end of January. The conferees
extended NDEA for only one
year so that these amendments 1 approval.

House and Senate later.
The ceiling on the amount of
loans any one college could give
to students was raised from
$250,000 to $800,000. And tenta
tive agreemant was reached to
increase the allocation of loans
to 5125 million a year.
