Christmas tree prices rise and choose‑and‑cut grows
Christmas shoppers face higher prices this year with 5 to 7 percent increases over 1979 as many trees remain plentiful. Scotch pines and Douglas firs continue at about 65 percent of over 30 million trees sold, while a growing “choose and cut” segment accounts for about 9 percent of sales. The industry notes drought effects were limited to trees planted in 1979 and early 1980.

Preventive care cost key in reducing nation’s health bill
Surgeon General Julius B. Richmond reports that heart disease, stroke, cancer, accidents, poisonings, and violence cost Americans at least 110.8 billion annually, with potential savings from preventive actions. The 1975 total illness cost was 238.9 billion, and those leading causes accounted for 46 percent. Alcohol and drug abuse contribute to rising automobile fatalities, though overall American health is improving.
