‘Mrs. America’ Is Mother Of Four

By MARTHA COBLE United Press Staff Correspondent JACKSON, Miss, Nov. 14.—Mrs. Janice Pollock, lovely brown-haired, prown-eyed mother of four children, held “Mrs. America” honors for 1946 today, thanks to her husband who had prodded her into entering the contest. Mrs. Pollock, who hails from Columbus, O., was wearing her “old black dinner dress” when four judges came out of a huddle and pointed a lucky finger at her. Runners up in the annual contest were red-haired Fredda Aker of Anderson, 8. C., and Mrs. Donna Vestelle, willowy blond widow of a marine killed overseas, She was billed as “Mrs. New York,” although her home was originally in Fairbury, Neb. Mrs. Pollock waited until newsreel cameras whirred~ and newspaper photographers took their shots before confessing that she owed it all to her husband Mark of the Burns Cuboid Co., of Columbus. “He had insisted that I submit a

Ad Shoppers Find Prices ‘Way Up’

117 Per Cent Rise Above 1939 Noted

By BARBARA BUNDSCHU United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—The woman who shops in the Sunday newspaper ads had only 30 more items to choose from this week than she did in 1939, but if she bought the works it would cost her more than twice as much money. A comparison of display advertising in one New York newspaper (The New York Times) for single November Sundays in 1939 and 1946 shows an increase in total value of merchandising from $55,900 to $121,500. That's 117 per cent against a 45.7 per cent rise in the bureau of labor statistics cost of living index, figured on essentials. The increase in advertised merchandise reflects both a mark-up on comparable price tags and a rise in the number of luxury and “quality” items offered for sale. The advertisers themselves are spending more money. They used 37 per cent more display space in 1946 for only 7 per cent more items. Ten of them, as compared with two in 1939, leave prices to the Sunday browser's imagination. The 1939 front page bannered the lifting of the arms embargo, carried hopes of a pact between Russia and Finland and told the story

and will continue through Saturday.
