APP Statements Refute Claims
Government Makes in Antitrust Suit

None of the present owners,
who have made A & p what it is
today, can have anything to do
with either the stores or the
factories" the ad continues. mo
one can predict what the policies
of the new owners of the various
parts of A & P will be. Nor de-
spite the antitrust lawyers
statement, can anyone tell how
many A g. P stores will remain
open or will be closed. So, while
there may be food store where
your A & p is now located, 1t
won't be your A & P store, make
no mistake about it. If the anti
trust lawyers win their suit, it
will mean the end of A & p as
you know it.
Reasons for Higher Prices
The company cites reasons why
the suit would result in higher
food prices instead of lower costs
as the government lawyers claim.
The very heart of the anti
trust lawyers case is that A & P's
methods, which they claim are
illegal, have enabled the COM
pany to undersell competitors.
How can anyone possibly say
that you will get lower food
prices by eliminating the COM
pany that has done so much to
bring them down."
The ad goes on to explain
that the suit would make A & P
get rid of its manufacturing fa-
cilitieS which enable it to pass
savings along to consumers in
the form of lower prices.
Make no mistake about it"
the ad states. IF the antitrust
lawyers succeed in putting A & P
out of business, you will find
your food bill higher"

Sugar and Tooth Decay

Sugar is the biggest cause OF
tooth decay, according to the Jour-
nal of the American Dental asso-
citation. Evidence collected by more
than 40 research workers points up
that decay is started by acids re-
sulting from the action of bacteria
on refined carbohydrate foods in
the mouth. DR.. Robert G. Kesel OF
the University of Illinois said that
reports from Scandinavia, Italy.
Japan and elsewhere showed a de-
crease in decay in direct proper
ton to the extent of sugar restric-
ton during World War II. A marked
reduction in dental carries has been
demonstrated through restriction
of sugar in the diet, DR.. Philip Jay
of the University of Michigan said.

kllzzard Bee Casualties
May Result In Crop Loss

Because the honeybee is so i'm.
maculately clean, Rocky mountain
blizzard-area farmers may stand
10 lose thousands of dollars this
growing season.
This possibility is advanced by
Or. George NJ List, head of the
department of entomology at Col
Srado Ann college. He points out
he bee loss could mean a greater
economic factor than the financial
blitz the billiards. wreaked on the
stockman.
Several factors can cause extern
sive death-loss of honeybees dur
ing cold weather, DR.. List points
out. One is due to the natural clean
illness of the bee. Honeybees elimi-
nate body wastes while flying out
side the hive, he says. If snow
drifts over the hive and the bees
are unable to make these cleansing
flights, they die, DR.. List adds.
Snow-bound hives also may cause
the bees to SURROGATE.
The long period of cold weather
also means heavier drain on the
stored honey which is used as food.
If the beekeeper took more than
his share of honey from the hive
last fall, or anticipated a normal
winter, his bees may starve be-
cause of a lack of honey. Bees are
inactive during cold periods and If
unable to fly to eliminate wastes
during a lengthy low temperature
period, death will result.
Extreme cold causes the bees to
cluster in a compact mass to keep
warm. If this cold occurs over an
extended period the insects cannot
move around sufficiently in the
hive to feed on the honey, even II
it is available.

Analysis of Words

Or. Ernest Horn, Professor OF
education at the University OF

ten for Childcraft books, that ten
words turned up most often in an
analysis of 100000 words written
by adults. They were: /, the, and,
to, a, you, Of, in, we, and for. These
words, with their repetitions, make
up about 25 per cent of adult writ
ing" says DR.. Horn. The fifty most
frequently used words make up
nearly so per cent of adult writing.
They include the aforementioned
fourteen and the following: it, that.

Sunshine and Fresh Air
HeIp Chicks to Feather

Chicks that get outside early
feather faster, and the sunshine and
fresh air make them rugged and
better able to take it when the
going gets rough" says Irving ).
Mork, of North Dakota agricultural
college extension service.
Mork recommends the use OF
sunporch for chicks, pointing oui
that a wire -floored, screened sun
porch makes the job of raising
chicks and poults easier. How
ever, he adds, the primary pur-
pose of the sunporch is sanitatlon.
You can put your chicks on the
sunporch just as soon as they learn
the location of their heat, feed ana
water. Chicks can be let out on
the sunporch on days when they
could not otherwise be out. They
may not stay out very long but the
exercise in the cool, fresh air VIII
do a lot in helping to control such
bad habits as feather picking and
cannibalism. Also, the sunshine
supplies additional vitamin D for the
young birds.
Five advantages in favor OF the
sunporch for chicks are listed by
Mork:
1. Fuel is saved as the chicks get
used to cold.
2. Less labor is needed because
with sunporch you can keep your
brooder house in the farmyard
where it is handler to care for the
chicks.
3. Losses of chicks through farm
yard accidents are prevented.
4. When it rains, just tap on the
porch and the chicks go inside.
5. Sanitation is easier, as the
chicks are kept off the ground and
away from diseases and parasites.

Recent statements by govern
ment antitrust lawyers on the
case against the Great Atlantic
& Pacific Tea Co, are refuted
in company advertisements pub
hshed recently in $500 news
papers.
Under the bold heading, Don't
Let Anybody Fool You!,' the ads
stated that success of the civil
action will destroy APP, raise
the cost of food, and increase the
likelihood of similar attacks on
other chain stores.
The company states the anti
trust lawyers are trying, by court
decision, to impose a new kind of
economic policy on the people
Of this country. If they succeed
in destroying A & P, they will
be destroying the method OF dis
tribution that has helped to make
the American standard of living
the envy of the world the ad
states.
Hits Government Claims
The A & p arguments are di-
rected against claims made by
anti trust representatives in
SPEECHES, radio talks, letters and
newspaper releases. The Wash
ington lawyers say that the suit
will not close a single APP store,
will result in lower food prices
and will only affect A & p.
The A G. P points out that the
court is being asked to break up
A & P's retail stores into seven
groups, each of which must be
sold to different owners, and
operated under new manage
ment," and to order us to sell
A & P's factories, which pro-
duce many of the fine foods you
find in our stores, to still other
new owners.

Hollow Cylinder

The same weight of material in
the form Of a hollow cylinder is
stronger against bending than a
solid one, because the material is
at a greater radial distance from
the axis. Therefore, in bending, the
outer material is stretched more
and that inside is compressed more
with the hollow cylinder, and more
force is required for the same
amount of bending.

House Approves Sale of Public Land In Alaska

WASHINGTON, CP), The House approved legislation yesterday to authorize the interior department to sell unreserved public lands in Alaska for industrial or cOmmer- cial uses.
 The measure provides that no company may secure more than l60 acres of land except in cases where the department believes larger tracts are justified.
 The measure now goes to the Senate.
 The House also passed and sent to the Senate another measure re- stricting the taking of salmon n rivers and streams in Alaska for food requirements or for dog food to the amount necessary for food or feed for personally owned ani- mals.
 The House also approved an amendment 10 the small tract act which permits it's extension to Alaska by removing the restric- ton that such land must be sur veyed. The amendment permits unsurveyed land in Alaska to be leased by the department in small tracts but not 70 be sold.
 The leasing privilege also is eE- tended to small tracts of land n the reVested Oregon and Califor- nia grant lands and the Coos Bay wagon road grant lands in Ore gOn.

 They are well able to have witnesses, and if they are to ap- pear, the committee should re- quire their presence very soon."
 Lester Roberts of Juneau, rep resenting the Native Brotherhood of Alaska, said the salmon fishing industry is now in a bad state" and added that the principal fac tors in the reduction in seed sal mon is due to the intense opera ton of fish traps" He said that only a few of the traps are owned by year-rOund Alaskan residents.
 Vim. L. Baker, publisher of the Ketchikan Alaska Chronicle, said the abolition of traps would have an improved effect on business. He added that business was found to be more stable in areas where the traps have been eliminated.
 Baker said he believes Alaska itself could better handle the sal mon problem. Our status as a stepchild has a tendency to leave us wide Open,' he added
 Peter Tandstad, who said he has lived in Alaska for 25 years, tes- tified that the traps were causing the destruction of all kinds of fish" He said "I believe if we get rid of the traps the fish will come back in a period of years"
 Others to testify for abolition of the traps included: Robert J. McNealy, representing United Fisheries union; Robert c. Korn of Cordova; Mayor K. C. Patton of Seldovia, and H. J. Lannen of COrdOva.

 It was further pointed out by MT.

Omnibus Bill Totals $67l,O47,l72

WASHINGTON - Emergency allotments of $l1O,OOO,OOO for the atomic energy commission and $43,000,000 for the Berlin airlift were approved today by the House appropriations committee.
 They were included in an omni- bus $671 ,047,l72 money bill sup plementing current year appropri- ations for miscellaneous govern ment agencies. The bill is sched- uled for House consideration to- morrow.
 The bills total is 6,98l,225 be- low the Presidents budget re- quests, but the atomic energy com mission and the Berlin airlift funds were not cut.
 The committee also approved the full request for $40, 100000 for stockpiling of strategic and criti cal materials being stored up for use in any possible future emer- gency. In addition to the cash, the StOckpiling fund was authorized to incur $278,OOO,OOO in contract obligations for which future ap- propriations may be necessary.
 The new fund for the atomic en- er9V commission is for paving off on contract authority previously authorized by Congress. The total contract authority was S400,000,- 900, against which Congress pre- Viously appropriated S25O,O0O, ,0O0,
 The estimated cost of the airlift operation this year is Sl53, 100000.
 Present plans, air force officers testified, contemplate the use of 287 air force C-54 carrier planes through June 30. From an orig inal daily lift of 225 tons, they said, the operation has increased to average 5,62O tons daily. Up to March 27, the United States had carried 926,131 tons of supplies by air into Berlin.
 There was no explanation by the committee of what supplies will be purchased with the new funds for Stockpiling.
