really with only nasty glance backward April
when people stop carrying their light tOpcOa Gust in case

Expects Good Year
Record Set
By aluminium

NEW YORK, Jan. 5 (AP) -
Aluminium production was be-
lieved to have set a record in
1862 of more than 100000
short tons of primary metal,
the president of the Aluminium
Association reported.
Harold c. Wilson, head of
the trade group. said new fields
promoted by the industry in
1862 included beer and tuna
cans, aluminium foil-fiber con-
tainers, military armor plate,
m arine superstructures and
missile surfaces.
Also, said Mr.. Wilson, use OF
aluminium by the auto indus
try climbed to an average Of
SOS pounds per car in 1862
models.
Shipments of sheet and plate
led the previous year by about
is per cent. foil shipments
were up about IA and castings
-reflecting auto industry
gains-were up about Is pei
cent, he said.

clared that competition will
sharpen as prime locations be-
come more difficult to find"
Henry Noon, president of
District Grocery Stores which
serves independent food retail
ers, said 1862 was a good year
for those Independents who
took care of their business
their stores and their custom
ers." Stressing the co-opera-
tive's role in helping such
owners, he expressed faith in
the future of "personalized
service" to customers.
John H. wilkins, jr., presi-
dent of the Washington coffee
company bearing his name
forecast his 63-year-old firm
will gain one million pounds in
sales this year. 1t has been
the largest selling coffee brand
for home use in the Washing
ton area for many years.
Mr.. wilkins also expressed
the view that the overall econ
omy would show a continued
and steady climb this year,
barring war.

industry publication Quick
Frozen Foods, estimates.
The total number of items
available in the standard su-
permarket today, an industry
source estimated, is about 5000,
almost 10 times as much
variety as before the war.
Prices in 1862, meanwhile,
held steady. Except for a few
scattered jumps, like sugar, and
declines, like coffee, most cate
gories stayed on fairly level
planes. A farmer withholding
action in the Midwest in early
fall drove up meat prices tenn
porarily, but the year-long,
overall average showed little
change from 1861.
Food Index Lower
The Dun and Bradstreet, Inc,
wholesale food price index ran
below the year-ago level
through most of 1862. Only
during the withholding action
in September and in the clos
ing weeks of the year was 1862
higher in year-to-year COM
parsons for more than one
week at a time.
The Agriculture Department
predicts that prices will con-
tinue stable through 1868.
Frozen food prices were gen.
orally stable, except that a rec
ord Florida Juice crop brought

Net profits, meanwhile, have
