The MRP decision, spelled out
by the partg's honorary presi-

Endorsed by its Executive Com

Ilican Front.
The front, an alliance of Mr..
|Mendes-France's Radical So

Icialists, control some 100
Assembly seats. This falls far
short of a majority in the ST.
member house, but leaders Of
the faction are trying to pick
up enough extra votes to win q
try at forming q cabinet.
The front says it is not seek
ing the Communists ISL votes
in the new Assembly, but So

Gated Red support would not be
refused.

ment. the Navy has sided with
the Army. But the decision
appears far from Anal. The sub
ject has been under discussion
for six months.
Briefly. the Army wants COM
plete control of all weapons,
including aircraft, necessary to
perform its mission. It would
control the airplanes used to
support it just as does a Marine
Corps ground commander con-
troll aviation. At present the 'r
Force supplies such air support
for the Army.
Memo Revision Sought

Army seeks revision of a 1852

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. = Up =
Time was when a shopkeeper
didn't depend on words to convey
what he had to sell. Instead, he
used signs and symbols.
The time was the 18th century,
period when many could not
read.
Samples of colonial tradesmen's
ingenuity in identifying their
shops with distinctive signs are
preserved in this restored colonial
capital.
Among the most colorful sales
men in the 18th century were the
apothecaries or colonial druggists
Some used the familiar mortar and
pestle symbol to identify their
shops, but others displayed the
horn of the mythical unicorn or
rhinoceroS.
If these symbols seem odd en-
hIems for a druggist, historians
point out that the horn of the
legendary unicorn was once
thought to possess medicinal or
magical properties, particularly
as an antidote or preventive for
poison.

Maritime Milling Co.
Acquires New Outfit

Maritime Milling Co., Inc. has
purchased Park & Pollard Co., Inc,
which has been in the feed manu-
featuring business in Buffalo, ~ Y
for 40 years. Their Lay or Bust"
was the first Laying Ration ever
marketed in this country and was
formulated by Mr.. Philip r. Park
one of the founders of Park &
Pollard. The sale includes the en-
tire stock of Park & Pollard, in
cluding the extensive company
owned store operations in New
England
In announcing the transaction,
Mr. Bruce K. Conover, Jr., Mari
time Executive Vice President, en-
phasized that no change will be
made in present Park e Pollard
operating policies. All Park & Pol
lard brands will continue to be
manufactured and marketed through
the established Park G. Pollard
dealer outlets as heretofore. These
include Lay or Bust" Poultry Ra-
tions, Milk-Maid Dairy Rations
and "Hi-Prime'' Turkey Rations.
However, all manufacturing will
be shifted to Maritime's modern
Buffalo Mill at 27S Hopkins Street
as soon as possible. All Park &
Pollard Sales Personnel will be
retained. While administrative ac-
tivities will be integrated for most
efficient purchasing, credit, billing,
ETC., two separate and distinct sales
organizations will be maintained,
one for Maritime's MA1CO Poultry
Rations and BIB Dairy Rations;
the other for the Park & Pollard
lines.
Mr. Conover stated that the union
of these two Independent pioneer
feed companies will result in i'm
proved and strengthened conditions
for the benefit of all. The acquis-
tion of Park & Pollard will in
crease output and employment at
the Maritime Mill which will be
operated at full capacity. The Mill
now has about $50 employees and
40 to so more will be added in the
near future.
In addition to Mr.. Conover, Mari

to be from unicorns, the horns
actually were obtained from the

There were fairly standard
signs which are still used in this
modern era of neon and bright
