...racks, regal as ever in traditional brown or black. But their luster is somewhat diminished this season by bright new competitors designed to make the fur-and the fur sales-fly. Right up there with the mink and the sable, the chinchilla, the ermine and the fox, are such low-status pelts as wolf, monkey, weasel, bull and yak. Without examining the label, however, even a zoologist would have trouble identifying the newcomers. For the furs have become checked, striped, flowered and wholly unrecognizable. Mostly they have been dyed. The dusty drabs have all but vanished; mink has gone pink...
Most of the producers of diet canned fruits have just completed their autumn packing, and are likely to be stuck with huge unsold stocks. David E.

Despite low rents, the project today is 43% vacant. Says the Rev. Buck Jones: "People are moving out because they are scared to death...
What can be done to bring down the costs and expand the supply of living space? Housing Secretary Romney figures that one solution would be to enlist industrial expertise and capital to improve the technology of subsidized housing for low-income and moderate-income families. Though his program goes by the corny name of "Operation Breakthrough," it is nonetheless quite promising. Under it, 650 companies have submitted proposals for mass-producing houses or component parts. Many of the entries come from big firms that have hitherto been little involved in housing, including Republic Steel, General Electric and Union Carbide. Next...
