Nylon Hosiery Prices Do Not Change Wear Time Test Finds
A Consumers Union wear test shows average nylon hose life at about 115 hours or 10 days across price ranges. $1.50, 50 cent, and three for $1.32 hosiery all performed similarly, with some stockings lasting over 300 hours and others failing quickly. Consumers urged choosing color, size, and fit over price. Also reviewed 1969 supermarket spending on food and margarine choices, noting most money goes to meat, produce, and dairy, with soft margarines costing more than regular.

County Fish Ponds Stocked by Farlington Hatchery
The National Fish Hatchery at Farlington supplied fish to stock 13 Franklin County ponds in 1969. Bass and bluegill together or channel cat alone may stock ponds under one acre, while ponds over one acre can receive all three species. The fish support anglers with fly, lure, and bait for bass and bluegill and for catfish. Bass and bluegill require clear water for visibility, whereas catfish feed by smell and prefer cloudy ponds.
