Home Furnishings Giant Industry
BY TRUMAN TEMPLE
star staff Writer

The star was Bette Davis
and the film was Dark Vic
tory" but Warner Brothers
had no inkling of the peculiar
impact it would make two
decades ago.
No sooner had it reached
audiences when the letters
poured in from housewives
demanding. Where can I get
a sofa like the one Bette
Davis has in that movie?"
The mail reached flood pro-
portions. 1t probably account
ed for more sofa sales than
all the advertising that year.
In 1861, the industry is
being whipsawed again by
two unpredictable public
events. One was Mrs. Ken
nedy's resolve to adorn the
White House rooms with au-
thentic period pieces, creating
an antiquarian fad not rel
ished by retailers of new
furniture.
Counterbalancing this was
the suggestion by President
Kennedy's doctor that he use
a rocking chair to break up
muscle tension. The effect
Of this on sales has brought
smiles to the faces Of the
rocker fraternity.
That end of my business
has jumped a hundredfold,"
one Washington store owner
admitted recently.
Such are the irrational as
poets of a usually stable COM
modify, home furnishings.
According to US. Commerce
Department, nearly 81 billion
is spent by Americans on
furniture and home furnish
ings each year. Furniture
takes a steady is per cent Of
the consumers dollar.
Stable Market
If the industry is stable,
the Washington market is a
veritable Gibralter, thanks
to its huge and dependable
Federal payroll. Edward Wat
son. president of the Furni-
ture Club of DC. and factory
representative of a major
furniture company, consid-
ers the city The best market
in the nation for better furni-
ture."
He estimates at least a doz-
en- home furniture stores here
are doing 81 million or more
a year. although Chicago,
High Point, NC. and New
York are far more noted as
furniture centers.
A number Of seemingly I'M
related factors are now help
ing encourage more sales Of
ornate furnishings and bring
ing CORRESPONDENCE higher
dollar volume, according to
industry sources. One is a
trend to monochromatic
rooms. i.e.. use Of several
variations Of a single color,
and relying on shapes of fur
niture for variety. Another is
the spare use of da-does and
holdings on walls.
Such austere backgrounds
have been partly due to riS-
ing construction costs and the
desire by house contractors
to avoid expensive ornamen-
tation. This encourages con-
sllners to seek ornamental
ton in furniture. where 1t
also costs money but is more
subject to production iine
economies.

Total Sales

The Commerce Department
reported sales Of furniture
and furnishings in the Dis
trict totaled $Ss million in
1858, the latest year for
which figures are available.
The total exceeded sales for
the entire States of Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont and
Alaska combined in that year
The District also is showing
a healthy growth in the
home furnishings business.
The SO total was an increase
Of $29 million from 1854.
AS the market has enlarged

sional advice has also grown.

since its development into an all
year-round occupation, has shown
tremendous strides, and has added
tremendously to the economy of
the Island. We can't go back 20
years for comparisons, for there
was very little crab fishing and
none commercially on the Island.
But it might be of interest to COM
pare figures for the last ten years.
From July, 1851 through June,
1852, there were 335,337 pounds OF
crab caught. This increased to &c.,
TOT the following year. The follow
ing years, the catch totalled 2,531,-
100, 2,491, 536, 3,717, 145, 7,015,988,
5,07O,638, 1889, the latter fig
ure for 1958-1959. In the last two
years this figure has doubled and
tripled. In 1859 1860, 14,348, ITO
pounds were harvested and in the
season ending June, 1861, 22,000,-
900 pounds of crabs were taken.
Shrimp processing is being done

of 600,672 cases packed. Since then
the pack figures are smaller, until
in 1859, there were 202, 623 cases
of salmon packed in the Kodiak
area.
Pinks account for most of the
pack, but of course this too has
steadily declined except for that
one year, 1855, when of the total of
600,672, 525,322 were pinks.
Reds have been on a continuous
slump since 1915, when the pack
totaled 154,513, an outstanding
year. The pack of reds was 1924
in 1850, and 32,516 in 1861, quite
a drop.
The fabulous days of fishing are
gone. Much of the romance of the
occupation is not there. Too many
boats go out year after year, but
fishermen have little to show for
their efforts. Hence the interest in
king crab fishing, because it offers
a steadier income.
Crab fishing in the few years
Kodiak mirror. [volume] (Kodiak, Alaska) 1940-1976, 1961-12-01

Catching and processing fish re-
mains one of the top industries in
Kodiak, despite the fact that there
has been a lessening in the case
pack through the years.
With the exception of a few years
in between, where the pack has at
tanned total such as was enjoyed
in the more affluent days. the pack
has declined to where it was act
ually less than half of what it was
20 years ago.
This doesn't mean, of course, the
fisherman doesn't have a take
home pay, for the price paid for
fish has increased since then.
From facts supplied by the Alas
ka Department of Fish and Game,
the total case pack in 1910 was
611,796. In 1941, the case pack was
710,891. n 1860, the total pack was
414,385 and in 1861, the figure
given is 352,038.
The 1860 pack is the highest
since 1855. That year saw total

on a limited scale. This can de-
velop into a profitable industry, al
though there are certain economic
factors ito be worked out The po-
tential is there as you can see by
the following figures. The total
catch in 1860 in the Kodiak area
was 3,197,98 pounds. In 1861 to
date, 9,110,878 pounds of shrimp
have been caught.
Clam canning here is factor to
be reckoned with in providing a
payroll. According to the ADJ & G,
the output usually approaches the
quota set by regulation. According
to the Department, the quota in
the Swikshak area was 1880 cases.
In 1860, this was raised to $4,000
cases.

The United States, in an

among others, to move IN with
big aid programs. (
Those programs will soon be
showing major results.
But President Sekou Toure,
according to word received here,
is reported anxious to have his
own people trained to replace
Communist-bloc technicianS.
Guinea is believed particu-
larry interested in using Peace
Corpsmen in this role. The
plan under study also would
put them to work in teaching
English, which Mr.. Toure wants
to accept as Guinea's second
language, helping in hospitals,
in engineering, road surveying
and other projects.
Red Bloc Active
There are about 1900 Soviet
bloc advisers and technicianS

Mr.. Toure is q radical Afri-

out in 1858 and left Guinea

Realistic Reupportionment

>, Virg1nia'S reapportionment commits
sion has recommended plan for State
representation in the General Assembly
that, while falling short of assuring an
equal voice for all political districts, is
nevertheless realistic and a marked
improvement over the existing system.
Nearby Virginia, despite five additional
seats in the Legislature, would still lack
the delegates to which strict adherence
to a population formula would entitle it,
However, the commission undoubtedly
had In mind presenting a report which
the next General Assembly could accept
without too much controverSy-and
there is bound to be controversy over
the increased representation given the
States urbanized areas, here and else
where.
Under the announced proposal, the
FairfaX-FallS Church area would be
given two more delegates and a second
senator while sharing with Arlington
third senator Alexandria would receive
another delegate. Arlington State SEN
ator Charles Fenwick, vice chairman of
the rediStricting group, approved the
report in general but commended that
Arlington should have fourth delegate
And former Fairfax Delegate Omer
HirSt, member Of the commission, held
that the plan still would leave the
Eairfax-Arlington area under repre-
sented. He added, however, that to allow
the two counties full delegation would
constitute "a really remarkable achieve
ment."
~. 1t would be even more remarkable
II the Legislature, composed largely of
rural representatives, should go further
than the commission in eliminating the
inequalities which the report conceded
would remain in some areas, chiefly
those in or near the cities For the
country boys" are reluctant to relin-
quish any of their strength to the city
folks. The compromise proposed by the
Governors commission may be the best
reapportionment that Northern Virginia
can hope for under present conditions.
