Candy Men to Meet
CHICAGO-The effects of war on candy
will receive principal consideration at the
59th Annual Convention of the National
Confectioners' Association, which will be
held in New York, June 8 to 11, according
to Philip P. Gott, president of the Associa-
tion.
The discussion of war effects upon the
confectionery and related industries will
range from the production of raw maJerials
to the delivery of the finished product, Gott
said. A raw material forum will deal with
the availability of supplies and the restric-
tions of government orders with respect to
such important ingredients as dairy prod-
ucts; nuts and fruits; corn products; Aavor-
ing extracts; fats and oils, as well as sugar
and chocolate, on which price ceilings and
government restrictive orders already have
been issued.
With a shortage of packaging materials,
including paperboard boxes, tin cans and
wrappings, including cellophane, glassine
. and other papers, discussion will relate to
how candy manufacturers can make a lim-
ited supply cover more pounds.
Herman L. Hoops of Hawley & Hoops,
New York City, has been appointed chair-
man of the General Convention Committee.

No Worry On 'N uts
CHICAGO-Operators of peanut vend-
ing machines should not become unduly
alarmed it was pointed out here this week
for by late July prices will again be down
and supplies will be plentiful.
The shortage now being experienced has
resulted from a number of factors-the in-
creased recognition of peanuts as a food
product, their wide use for the armed forces
and the lend lease program, plus a growing
demand for peanut oil.
It was apparent that a much larger crop
of this important product would be needed,
so it was necessary to use a good percentage
of the remaining supply of peanuts to seed
the larg~ increase in peanut acreage- in
some territories reaching as high as 62 per-
cent greater than last year's acreage.
Naturally, when Spanish peanuts were
"frozen" for seed, a heavy demand was
placed 0)1 Virginias and Redskins, shooting
the price up double that of a year ago. But
when the new crop of Spanish comes on
the market in late July, there should be
more than sufficient to cover all government
and civilian needs, and the price will be
more in line with that in the past. This also
will have its effect on the Virginias and
Redskins, returning them to their normal
cost.
It therefore behooves the vending opera-
tor to watch his portions closely. Although
it is believed sufficient stocks are available
to keep machines supplied until late July
still an operator cannot afford to portion
out the same amount of peanuts today
when he is paying 18c a pound as he did
a short time back when nuts were 8c a
pound.
Laymon Has Camera Line
LOS ANGELES-Paul A. Laymon has
been appointed distributor for the Kirk
Stereo Camera and Viewer, an "eye ap-
pealing" article for premium use on sales-
boards.
The camera, as simple to operate as an
ordinary Brownie, takes third dimension
pictures which are viewed through the spe-
cial Viewer. Pictures may be taken in
black and white or in color. Each click of
the lens takes the subject twice. When fin-
ished prints are received from the develop-
ers each pair is mounted in special frames
for insertion in the Viewer.
The Viewer itself cont~ ins two Aashlight
batteries and bulbs. When the picture
frame is inserted a slight pressure exerted
on the top of the unit causes the bulbs to
light and one sees the picture in beautiful
realistic third dimension.
Laymon reports an excellent response
from salesboard operators who have found
the Camera and Viewer the hot~oot oAles-
board item in years.
