II can't imagine a sum-

managing director of Olney
Theater. In other professional
theaters union stagehands,
prop men and ushers keep
things running smoothly.
Summer stock theaters, how
ever, can't afford such extrav-
agances. and special regula-
tions allow them to use young
students of the theater, called
apprentices.
The apprentice pays his own
way. He provides his own
room and board and often
pays a fee in addition. But
here this situation is reversed.
While they are not earning a
salary, the management is
maintaining them at its own
expense. All seven are ION

Mr.. Burgert added that the
food industry is aware OF the
problem and is trying to cor
rect it through drives to move
SURPRISES into consumption. It
is also trying to narrow the
spread between farm and re-
tail prices through increas-
ing the efficiency of its own
operations, he said.
Although retail prices we're
lower in 1855, said Mr.. Bur-
ger, people spent more money
for food. This was because of
the greater demand for high
er priced items and for foods
with "built-in" services, such
as cake mixes, frozen foods
meals, ready-to-cook pre-
cooked items, he explained.
The APP President said the
food industry will continue to
meet the demand for con-
venience services and that the
coming year will see more
product improvements de-
signed to save the house
wife's labor.
However, these items will
not be of real benefit to con-
sumers," he continued, if
they add unreasonably to the
cost of eating or if the serv-
ices cannot be performed eff
ficiently in the industry"
'The food industry operates
in the public interest; there
fore, efficiency must be its
main concern" Mr.. Burger
declared. He noted that while
food costs to consumers went
down in 1855, the cost of food
distribution went up.
Increases in wages, taxes,
rent, transportation and other
fixed costs cannot be control
led by the industry, whereas
certain other costs the indus
try imposes upon itself, he
said.
Food merchants are merely
purchasing agents for Ameri-
cas- consumers. Loose control
over costs, along with over-ex-
pansion and unsound competi-
tive practices amount to spec
ulation with the consumers
food dollars, which account
for one-fourth of the average
family's income.
THE industry operates on a
volume of billions of dollars a
year but it must not forget
that nearly one-fifth of all
the families it serves have in
comes of less than $4,000 a
year, and that more than
three-fifths earn less than
$4,000 a year"
One danger in over-expan-
sion cited by Mr.. Burger was
the trend toward larger and
larger super markets. 'In gen.

/ eral," he said, "the larger a
store is, the harder it becomes
to keep its operating costs low.
Consumer buying habits
have changed and there is no
question that stores must be
operated for the convenience
OF their customers. But neither
long store hours nor the new
'built-in services should be
allowed to raise the cost of
food.
Long store hours with night
and day business, 'give-aways'
and premiums were scapped
by the food industry years ago.
because they raised food pric-
eS," he continued. NOW, how
ever, we are in danger of re-
viying old costly patterns"
One service the consumer is
entitled to can be improved
without cost, according to the
A&P President. THE cost of
courteous service is part of the
price charged the customer, !"
he said.
In reviewing other services
performed by the industry for
its customers, Mr.. Burger men
toned food advertising through
newspapers and radio and tel
eviSion stations. He said that
while the advertisements are
intended to attract customers
they also provide the house
wife with fair market prices
for foods.

Efficiency To Key Food Costs
In 1856 APP Head Declares

There should be plentiful
supplies of food for Americas
record level appetites in 1856
with retail prices continuing
about as low as in 1855, Ralph
w. Burger. President of the
Great Atlantic g. Pacific Tea
Company, said today.
Mr.. Burger said that food
prices in 1855 were Is per cent
lower than in 1854 and So per
cent below the post-World War
II peak reached in 1852. The
overall cost of living in 1855,
he noted, was down only four
tenths of one per cent.
Present forecasts show that
food production during the
new year will come close to
the record 1855 level and that
prices to consumers will re-
main about the same. With
average weather there should
be adequate food supplies to
meet consumer demand" Mr..
Burger said.
"This is a record and an
outlook that the food indus
try can be proud of, Mr.. Bur
ger declared. "It shows that
the orderly downward trend of
food Costs continued without
interruption in 1855. 1t also
shows that the nations farm
ers and food distributors are
meeting the heavier food de-
mands of our rapidly expand
ing population.
The APP President warned.
however, that eff we are 60
ing to continue to hold the
price line and at the same
time assure farmers of an
adequate return, we must be
alert to resist inf1ationary
trends developing within the
industry"
Food. is one of the largest
expenses Of the average ia
mily. Over-expansion and the
unhealthy competitive practi-
ces of the boom psychology
can raise the cost of eating
in every American home"
In 1855, he said, the nations
families ate better than ever
before and made heavier pur-
chaSeS of what were once
luxury foods. Per capita
meat consumption, one ex-
ample he cited, exceeded 100
pounds This was five per
cent more than in 1854 and
the highest for any year on
record since 1908.
"Some price reductions may
have gone beyond the point
where farmers can get a fair
return for their investment
and labor. Pork is a dramatic
example of a food that got so
low in price that the produc-
erS actually suffered a loss"
