CHAIN STORES
AID IN GRAPE
FRUIT MARKET
Americans Have Become Grape.
Fruit Minded Since Max
ing 1t A Food
FINE QUALITY ASSURED
DURING SUMMER MONTHS

In an effort to further aid grow
ers to market the all-time bumper
grapefruit crop without heavy finan-
cial losses, food chain companies to-
day agreed to promote a canned
grapefruit and grapefruit juice sales
campaign in their $1,000 stores thru
out the country next summer.
This drive will supplement the ma
tion-wide fresh grapefruit sale, be-
gun in mid-January and continuing
through February. The present cam
paign was undertaken by the National
Association of Food Chains at the re-
quest of the growers in Florida, Tex
as. Arizona and California, when
they were confronted with a record
smashing grapefruit crop of 29,OOO,-
600 boxes-almost twice the produc-
ton for the last eight-year average.
While consumption of fresh grape
fruit has doubled since the food chains
started their special advertising CAM
paign and coordonated merchandising
effort, the canned grapefruit drive is
designed to further stimulate the de-
mand and thus enable Gamers to use
a far greater portion of the huge crop
than ever before in the history of the
industry.
In announcing the action taken by
food chain companies to move into
consumption this enormous surplus
crop, John A. Logan, executive vice
president of the National Association
Of Food Chains, said:
Americans have become grapefruit
minded since they discovered it is a
health food rather than a luxury. Re
ports indicate the total consumption
has doubled as a result of our cam
paign. Chain stores are reporting
sales increases ranging from 100 to
500 per cent since the demand for
grapefruit was stimulated by special
newspaper advertising and organized
and enthusiastic promotion programs
in all chain food stores.
despite this, is seems apparent
from the extraordinary size of the
crop that canning Of grapefruit and
grapefruit juice must also be increas-
ed substantially so the marketing
season may be extended through the
summer months,
"The National Association of Food
Chains sponsored the current cam
paign Of fresh grapefruit to help the
growers meet a critical situation and
to aid them to obtain fair price for
their crop. Our agricultural commit
tee has considered the unusual con-
ditions and in response to the grow
ers' request has decided that food
chains throughout the countryAwill
extend their efforts further to aid
the growers by promoting national
canned grapefruit and grapefruit
juice promotion, starting the latter
part of June.
"This assurance of organized food
chains advertising and merchandising
support should assist the growers to
receive better price for their crop
and permit the Gamers to pack lar
ger portion of the crop, which can
not be shipped to market as fresh
fruit. It should also assure consum-
ers of fine quality fruit through the
summer months.

RADIANT LIVING
BEAUTY MORE THAN SKIN DEEP
By Rev. c. NJ Griffeth
Pastor Calvary M. 4. Church
sudersvilie. Md.

You have often heard that beauty
is only skin deep. / believe that
such statement as this was origi-
mated by some one who was jealous
of the beauty of another. 1t smaclks
of being a sour grape expression and
there is not word of truth In 1t.
True beauty is more than skin
deep because the outer form is bas-
ed upon the inner structure. The Sc
cret of beauty of form lies in the
proper curvature of facial lines.
These lines of curve are based to a
large extent upon the proportionate
shape of the bones of the skull.
If the cranial frame work is not
symetrical, the lines of facial beau
ty will not be harmonious.
But the secret of facial beauty
however lies even deeper than the
structural frame work of the skull |
II lies in the quality of the thoughts
that are kept In the mind and in the |
emotional nature that is given ha-
bitual expression.
One can not give liberty to obs
Gene thought, nor can he let jeal-
ousy, anger. or hatred have a free
hand within the emotional nature
marring the beauty of the
If we would have an indescribable
beauty of face we must cultivate an
beauty of heart.
No one can maintain an outward
beauty who is developing an inward
lgliness.
Be beautiful within and the radi-
ince of that beauty will shine forth
Ipon the outward countenance Civ
ng 1t a brightness that is attractive
md a sweetness that is winsome.

The spotlight of interest in the

A check for $4OO forming the basis
of forgery allegations against the

Shriver declared from the witness

the one upon which the grand jury
based forgery charges in an indict-
