Increased Demand Fer
Food Seen By
President OF A & r

New York = The nations fooe
needs are changing rapidly and
the food industry must step up its
efficiency TO meet these new de-
mands. Ralph w Burger, presi-
dent Of A&P Food Stores said to-
day.
Mr.. Burger. in observance of the
nations oldest food chains seth
anniversary. dec5HTed that Ameri-
cans are the best fsa people in the
world.
"TEe quality and variety Of food
and the shopping conveniences
they enjoy are greater than ever
before he said In addition, the
cost Of eating has been reduced in
the past SO years from half the
average family's dispOsable income
to only about one quarter.
sBut our families are increasing
rapidly and new living patterns
and shopping habits are developing.
These changes pose serious new
problems for the food industry"
The company's mOnth-long anni-
versary marks the opening Of the
first Arp in 1859 by George Hunt
ingt0n Hartford, father Of the
chains present board chairman.
The firms initial stock in trade was
tea, bought from clipper ships and
sold directly to consumers in the
small store in downtown New York
City. The savings made possible By
this methods enabled Hartford to
price the tea at about one-thiro
the prevailing rate.
IN the years that followed. Mr.
Burger said. e complete line Of
foods was gradually introduced. to
the point where t0day's average
super market carries more than
$500 items.

be a person of excellent character
and in which. preferably, you are
connected with some church; 3. A
void threatening, bribing, or being
party to ultimatums. In case Of

sonal. without a secretary or other
go-between.
To succeed in this new profess
sion. d person must be patient
starting with only one corporation
as a client: but the person MUST
know more about said corporation
than anyone else in the community
OF course this takes time. patience
and prayer: but think Of the time
and money which one who is train
ing to be a doctor must spend be-
fore he gets his first patient On
the other hand. such a public rela-
tions man needs not Office. but he

sim Making History

At last the mystery OF why the
Pilgrims landed on the forbidding,
wintry New England coast-in-
stead of farther south as they had
planned been cleared up! We
have it from the journal Of one Of
the Mayfiower's passengers that it
was because the vessel ran short
Of victuals, ESPECIALLY our beere'
and 1--WE could not take the time for
further search or consideration.
And the pity of it is (perhaps)
that, had they but known, they need
have sailed only as far south as
Manhatten Island (Which still be-
lOnged to the Indians) and found
a brewery already in its eighth
year Of operation. Or, had they
made their landfall in Central A.
merica, the natives might well
have greeted them with foaming
beakers. Columbus had reported 118
years before that the Indians Of
those parts enjoyed a brew :.
of maize, resembling English beer"
But the legendary resourceful-
ness of the Pilgrims obviously
overcame the difficulty. since an
early report of the colony states
that "beer was all but the uniVer-
sal beverage"
Still The Worlds Biggest Job
Eminent medical opinion sup
ports the statement that President
Eisenhower is entirely alert and
quite capable of handling affairs
Of state from his bed in Fitzsimons
Army Hospital in Denver. We are
further assured that his first ex-
posures since September oath to
the cares of ofice-as represented
in his visits with Presidential AS
sistant Sherman Adams, Vice Pres
ident Nixon and Secretary of State
Dulles-have done him no harm.
Referring to the Dulles visit spe-
cifically, Presidential Press Secre-
tary James c. Haggerty said,
it probably did him a lot of good.
Thus the parade of cabinet Off
GERS and other advisors will doubt
less continue-ba barring a change
of orders by the doctors-for the
remaining weeks at the hospital,
and after that for the remainder
Of the year at the Eisenhower farm
at Gettysburg.
But, even so, even with Governor
Adams commanding a White House
desk that bears the seal of the
President-be between escort trips to
and from Denver-and with the
Vice President as stand-in at
meetings of the cabinet and the
Security Council. it must be adj
mitted that the Ship of State is
sailing under jury rig and in
stormy waters.

every periodical concerning Ike's
illness and Margaret's plans; am
even looking at re-runsE of TV
films; have read to the children,
gone to school with the children,
participated in their playing house
in a tent in the yard: I'm telling
you I've racked my brain for things
to vile away the time. But just
wait until that Hayes puts his foot
in the front door. There will be all
kinds of club meetings, bridge

NEW KIND OF TYPEWRITER

A typewriter which can type AZ common
words and phrases has been patented, though
as yet no plans have been made to market It..
The machine operates like an ordinary cleo
trio typewriter. When the typist comes to
a word on the list of AZ, she steps on pedal
and strikes the letter to which the word is
keyed. The word is then typed automatically.
This is only beginning. Robert r. See
Der, Jr., the inventor, thinks the typewriter
might be adapted to write a complete letter
in cases where many copies Of the same let
ter are sent, when it is thought undesirable
to use printed forms.
The next development will be to have
machines operated by thought control. Such
an invention might be the solution to the
spelling problem besetting so many business
people, providing they can think words better
than they spell them.
