Efficient Marketing Held Vital
Factor In Food Defense Program

keting fresh fruits and vegetables
through A. and P. stores now get
a 13 per cent greater share of the
consumers dollar than they did
only four years ago.
That these benefits to produc-
ers and consumers have not been
achieved at the employees expense
is indicated by the company's re-
cent adoption as a national policy
of the first five-day, 4S-hour week
ever offered in grocery retailing,
he said. The shorter week, coupled
with recent wage increases boost
ing the organizations level even
further above the national average.

general hours and best working
conditions in the industry, he de-

The feasibility of increasing the
use of healthful foods in line with
the government drive to raise die
tary standards is shown by sue
cess of the company's own drive
this year to encourage consump-
ton of fresh fruits and vegetables.
During a 10-week period, he said,
its purchases totaled 33,203 car

Vegetables, rich in protective
vitamins and yet easy on the bud
get, also play an important part in
any diet. Stimulation and toning
are the corresponding part of a
beauty diet. A stimulant applied
lightly to the skin just before the
night cream, whips up the circu-
lation and makes the skin twice as
receptive to the benefits of the rest
of the treatment. A skin toning
lotion to close the pores after the
daily treatment freshens the skin
and leaves it smooth and fine-tex-
tured, ready for makeup.
Delicious, wholesome desserts
also, have their place in every menu.
The dessert of a beauty diet is the
foundation and makeup. Well
planned desserts have a very def
mite nutritive value, just as make
up foundation and powder, rouge,
lipstick and eye makeup play an
important part in dramatizing a
woman's beauty.
These four-cleansing prepara-
t1onS, night cream, st1mulant ana
skin toning lotion, and foundation
and make-up-are the daily essen
tials, but there is another group of
beauty aids which every correct
budget should cover.
Just as a good housewives bud
get allows for special treats, or en-
and celebrations, the
beauty budget should include sew
sral preparations which the skin |
needs periodically masque
a medicated cream for
)lemishes, an eye cream to smooth
lway fine lines and crows feet or
Iuch luxuries as bath oil, pow
Ter cologne or night perfume.

your own beauty problems, Madame
Rubinstein will be glad to answer

RELIGION IN BOOKS
By ROY L. TAWEs

LET THE III U r C H BE THE
CHURCH, by Elmer George HON.
righausen. Abingdon Cokesbury,
Nashville. $2.-Having heard the
author preach at Ocean Grove
Campmeeting, it is a pleasure to
review favorably his book. Here
are reasonable and warmnearted
messages on the fundamental ma
ture, emssage, and task Of the
Christian Church. Here is a mill
tant faith in Jesus Christ. Here is
a winning confidence in the Gospel.
Here is the sound Of no uncertain
trumpet calling to new allegiance
and service.
"Sin is no theory; it is stark
reality. 1t is the real crisis Of our
times. And only God and repent
ance can save us. But a genera
ton that has put itself upon the
throne and has dissolved every
thing that once was beyond in the
acids of imminence, was bound to
forget the fact of sin, social and
individual. With it went the real
ity of guilt, and men became little
gods who needed but a little guild
ance to become like God! Redemp-
tion was laughed out of court.
There was no need of repentance,
that critical right-about-face which
turned a mans whole life around
from self to God. This is finally at
the root of every one Of our mod
ern problems. Our trouble is not
that science and modern thought
make It. impossible foF us to. re-.
pent, or believe in its worth. Our
trouble is that we do not want to
repent, and use science and philo-
sophy as a convenient alibi. We
humans have never been willing to
admit that we belong to Another
and to each other.
"It is the Church's supreme task
to give a strong witness to the real
ity of God. Its feeble moralwit-
ness must cease! Its unholy alli-
ances which have sapped its inde-
pendent right to speak the prophet
ic Word of God must be measur-
ably broken! Its Word rises up out
of the Gospel and does not owe its
validity or authority to any earthly
power or interest. The Church |
must cease to tone down its high |
reality of God, of sin, of judgment,
of grace, of atonement and of eter-
nal hope"

This efficiency has been main
tanned since the company was
founded in 1859, he said, when
George Huntington Hartford took
revolutionary step in purchasing
a cargo of tea direct from China,
and, by eliminating all needless in
between landings and costs, re-
tailed it for half the prevailing
prices. Hartford subsequently ap-
piled the same mass distribution
principles to other foods, and pub
lie acceptance made it possible to
open additional stores, thus start
ing Americas first chain store
company.
A later major step in the COM
pany's growth was the advent of
the economy stores" through
which consumers demonstrated
their desire to get more food for
their food dollar by dispensing with
credit and delivery expenses. Most
significant recent trend has been
the growth of the supermarket
which, as developed by A. and P.
brings food to consumers at the
lowest "markup" ever achieved in
the retail grocery industry, he
said.
'The larger turn over inherent
to supermarket operation, coupled
with self-service, means that the
can operate on a still |
narrower margin, passing the re-
sultant savings on to both pro-
ducers and consumers" Mr.. Scrim-
ger explained. He pointed to the
fact that his company's custom
ars this year will save over $780,
100000 o ntheir food as compared
10 the lowest prices which could
have been charged on the basis of
operating costs five years ago. Sim

is filled to capacity with wheat and
old corn, farm storage of corn will
be approved where storage facili-
ties meet the requirements of the
federal government. Farmers who
have surplus corn to sell, as well
as those who need to buy corn, will
profit by this plan, since those who
store their corn will not have
freight and handling charges de-
Quoted from the selling price, while
those who purchase corn will save
freight charges by being able to
secure their supply from local
sources.
Producers who have obtained
loans on their wheat, and those
who may secure loans on their corn
crop, are reminded that this grain
remains the property of the pro-
ducers to sell at any time they de-
sire until a certain date specified
on their loan notes. The .1941
wheat under these loans does not
become the property of the Com
hodity Credit Corporation until
April 80, 1912 and corn of the 1941
crop does not automatically be-
come the property of this corpora
tion until August, 1912.

DIARY Of a
BEAUTY AUTHORITY
by Helena RUbinsfein

(In this column, offered as a specia
feature to our women readers, Helen;
kubinstein. the famous beauty au
thority tells you how to budget beau
ty as you budget food)
NEW YORK-Can a person have
an adequate diet for six or sever
dollars week? Can a women give
her skin scientific, intelligent
beauty care on six or seven cents
day?
These are questions which are
asked me over and over again by
women who are eager for beauty
but whose budgets are limited.
The answer to both questions is
Yes" All that is required is a
little careful planning. The most
beautiful women l know plan their
beauty budgets a year ahead. Their
plan includes provision for daily
home beauty care, for special treat
ments which their skins need from
time to time, and an extra allow
ance for emergencies and luxuries.
Like housewife planning for
her family, the beauty-wise woman
watches for opportunities to make
her budget stretch as far as poss-
ible. For practical purposes, there
are five main classifications into
which the cosmetic diet can be di-
vided, which correspond roughly to
the food diet.
What we think of as staple foods,
for example, such as milk, butter,
sugar and eggs, are paralleled in
beauty care by cleansing. Just as
good health cannot be maintained
these foods, beauty can
not be maintained without correct |
cleansing. One fifth of the beauty
budget should be set aside for
preparations.
The second allowance in bud
get is for meat, fish, ETC., which are
1f utmost importance in building
body energy. In beauty the cor
item is a night cream,
o keep the skin smooth, supple
md young.

SAFETY COUNCIL NOTES

WINTER is comingi Mr.. and
Mrs. America will be sticking pret-
ty close to home and fireside for
the next few months. And the fam
lily auto will get rest, too.
Yes, motor travel drops in win
ter. 1t would seem logical that
traffic deaths would drop, too. But
do they?
Decidedly not! The Delaware
Safety Council warns that we are
now entering the two most deadly
months of the year! Although few
er cars were on the road, the two
months of November and December
accounted for nearly 21 per cent of
last years traffic deaths.
Why? Because driving condi-
tions are more treacherous, and
motorists fail to adjust their driv-
ing habits to these new and dang
erous conditions. More hours of
darkness rain, fog and snow
=. icy pavements-those are a
few of the hazards drivers face in
winter.
These last two months are more
critical this year than ever before.
Right now-at a time when the
waste of man power, money and
efficiency is harmful to our de-
fense program-traffic deaths are
heading for a new record. The only
way to keep 1941 from setting an
all-time high in death and suffer-
ing is for everyone in the United
States-every man, woman and
child-to drive and walk more
carefully in these last two months.
Remember-the odds are against
you in winter. Play it safe!
Thanksgiving is almost here
and that occasion prompts this re-
minder from the Delaware Safety
Council.
When your family is seated
around the Thanksgiving dinner
table, and you are offering thanks
for all your blessings, why not
give thanks, too, that an accident
has not brought tragedy and suf-
fering to your homer
Remember the tremendous price
America pays for carelessness.
Nearly a hundred thousand dead
more than nine million in
jured each year.
1t is truly day of thanksgiving
if your family has acquired habits
of safety-habits that will keep ac-
oidents away from your home.
