community life is inestimable. He
was an excellent teacher and did
great service for all of u.s."

pal of Shaw High School came the
following tribute:
Although 1 have only known
Mr.. Niergarth for two years, l
have been impressed by his ability
as director of Shaw band and or
chestra. His sincere interest in
young people has provided an in
centive to many of our students
to improve themselves not only in
their musical activities, but in all
activities that go for the making
of good schools and a good citizen.
The inspiration of his leadership
will long survive.
Speaking for the city, Guy T. |

Mrs. Morgan explained that the

Anticipatory Buying
Continues 10 Stimulate
Nation S Retail Trade
byfhe Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, July 28.-Con-
tinued "anticipatory buying" de-
spite assurances of surpluses in
many consumers items was re-
ported today by Dun & Brad
street in it's weekly retail trade
review.
Total retail dollar volume in
the week ended this Wednesday
was estimated at from S to 9 per
cent above year ago.
Unlike yesterdays Federal Re-
serve Board report that covered
only department store sales, Dun
and Bradstreet's estimates are
for all retail stores.
Regional estimates varied from
last years levels by the following
percentages: New England and
Midwest, up 4 to 8; East, up 3 to
5; South and Northwest. up 5 to
8, and Southwest and Pacific
Coast, up 6 to 10.
Dun & Bradstreet noted a
marked rise in the volume of
house furnishings, many of the
sales being in large appliances.
Shoppers also bought floor cover
ings, furniture, draperies and tele-
vision sets. In some sections, the
demand for lamps. housewares
and small electrical appliances
rose substantially.
Retail dollar sales of food rose
noticeably, said Dun and Brad
street, but increasing prices for
some products were partly re-
sponsible for the rise. Meat buy
ing was practically unchanged,
but sale of eggs and dairy pro-
ducts increased. Canned as well
as fresh produce showed increased
sales, as well as frozen foods.
There were seasonal increases in
sales of soft drinks and ice cream.
The stepup in shopping was
particularly noticeable in clothing.
Women stocked up on stockings
and underwear. Ready-to-wear
suits and dresses were sold in less
sizable volumes. Interest in mems
wear was largely on a seasonal
basis.
