The National Association Of Food
Chains reports also that the costs
of the complete food distribution
has been reduced by
chain suDer markets and food
stores from 241k cents on tne DOL
Jar in 1888 to 1874 cents today.
'sThis reduction in the cost to the
customer of the warehOusing,
Transporting, and retailing func-
tions performed by food chains,
says NAFC President John A. LO-
gan, s'was made possible by the de-
velopment Of a direct farm and fac
tory to table system with self
service and more effective control
and better handling and shipping
methods to reduce waste. The super
market gave costs another cut
through larger volume sales, and
more rapid turnover Of merchan-
disc. Back in 1888, Logan points
out, there we're hundreds Of thou
SANDS Eef small food stores doing
less than 500 a day total business
If they had made the same net prot'
that food chain stores and chaiT
super markets earn today, thes
would have made less than $l.OO
day-and obviously many woule
not have been able to stay in bust
ness. It is only through the large
volume typical of modern food dis
tribution that reductions in costs
have been made possible"

village where the Winter Olym-
pics are going on. you don't have
to walk half an icy block to hear
a conversation on these lines:
Amateurs with only a few
days of intensive training can't
win against Russians who train
intensively the year. round"
II wonder how much longer
such one-sided shows as the
Olympics will 60 on?"
Many believe it won't be many
years before something gives
way. This group holds that
either the Russians will kill the
Olympics or other countries will
forget the old definitions of anna
teurisrn and give their athletes
all the training facilities and the
aid they need. Others believe
that competition-not winning
is what counts and that the pres
ent situation will continue.
The seventh Winter Games are
almost half finished. Russia
competing for the first time
already had IS points starting
today's events.
No other nation ever domi-
mated these games in such fash
ion. Such old-time leaders as
the United States. Norway, Fin
land, Sweden and Switzerland
have been left behind in the
pack

of course, these are the best

Another question was put to
him. Who do you think would
