Retail Sales,

SET New Marks

NEW YORK, Jan. S (AP) -
Retail and foreign trade rang
up record breaking volumes in
l962-a year of intense COM
petition at home and abroad,
Merchants expect continual
ton of the rise in retail sales,
at least in the first half of
this year. Uncertainties on the
world scene make the prospect
of any substantial rise in world
trade somewhat doubtful.
Retail sales for this year are
estimated at $3.50 billion, COM
pared with $218.8 billion in
1861 and $219.5 billion, the
previous record, in 1860.
Exports Due to Rise
In the foreign trade field,
exports totaled an estimated
$22 billion against sos billion
in 1861. Imports amounted to
an estimated SIC billion, COM
pared with $14.6 billion the
previous year.
In 1862, over-building of
stores became evident in some
cities for the first time, ac-
cording to the National Retail
Merchants Association. This. it
said, was particularly true in
the discount field, where sew
eral chains went into bank
.ruptcy and weaker individual
stores consolidated wit h
stronger firms or went under.
Nevertheless, the association
said building of shopping Gen.
ters will continue this year.
The association said in

cans built and bought more
passenger cars in 1862 than in
any year except 1855 since the
automobile was invented. In
dustry forecasters see 1868 as
another good year.
Final official registration on
figures, which won't be avail
able until late February, prob
bly, will show sales of upwards
Of ST. million domestic cars
and another 100000 imports.
Domestic production, aided
by a record fourth quarter of
more than 2 million assemblies,
ran roughly 7 million cars.
Peak in October
Sales were good all year with
the peak coming in october
when the 1868 models were in
troduced. October sales set an
alltime record for any month
ever, with 722,886 retail de-
liveries of domestic automo-
biles. The previous record of
702,400 was set in April, 1855.
Not only did the public buy
more cars, the consumers
sought more in them. Models
became slightly larger and con-
siderably fancier. The biggest
boom was in luxury and top
of-the-line models.
Bucket seats with the con-
sole between them became one
Of the hottest accessory items.
More than one million of the
1862 models used bucket seats.
During the 1862 model year

POETRY NOOK

James Weldon Johnson was
man Of many talents. Born in
1871. he completed his educa-
tion in Florida and received a
bachelors degree from Atlanta
University. In 1000 he wrote the
memorable "Lift Every Voice
and Sing" which Is often called
the national Negro anthem.
He and his brother wrote many
songs and musical plays. One
of his narrative poems, "The
Creation" is still performed to-
day.
The following verses are part
of poem. Fifty Years" written
in 1913 for the observance of
the 50th anniversary of the sign
ing of the Emancipation Procla-
nation.
o brothers mine. today we
stand
Where half century sweeps
our ken.
Since God, through Lincoln's
ready hand.
Struck off our bonds and made
us men.
Just fifty years - a winters
day -
AS runs the history of race;
Yet, as we look back Ger
the way.
How distant seems our start
ing place
And never yet - O naughty
Land,
Let us, at least for this be
praised
Has one black treason guided
hand
Ever against that flag been
raised.
That for which millions
prayed and sighed.
That for which tens of thou
sands fought.
For which so many freely
died,
God cannot let it come to
naught.
