10 Pop" was printed as follows:
GUARDIAN OF THE CROSSING
by Mary O'Connor
Some say he only does his job
But God and mothers know
That Pop" is more than just
a "cop"
In dangers ebb and flow.
His is the job to guide the kids
Across the traffic lane,
Teaching them care and safety
In sunshine, snow and rain
He has a smile, jolly word
For every scampering tot
Regardless of the shade of skin;
He knows it matters not.
The youngsters all adore this man,
This friend who's always there
To shield them from the cruel pain
Of injury and despair.
No riches has this lowly cop
This guardian of the just;
No worldly wealth can come TO him
Except the children's trust.
Some say he only does his job
But God and mothers know
That Pop" is more than just
cop;
That's why we love him so.
A tribute to Herman Holston,

"In brief, an individual who was

year of 1855, and who has had
sufficient covered employment or
self-employment to be eligible for
benefits can receive benefits for
the entire year 1855 if his total
earnings for the year do not ex-
ceed $1,000. He can receive partial
benefits if his total earnings do
not exceed $2OSO, even though he
works throughout the entire year"

FOOD NEWS
FOR APPETTTES
Food Prices in 1855 Were LIS
Per Cent Lower Than
in 1854
ADEQUATE FOOD SUPPLY

There should be plentiful sup
plies of food for Americas rec
ord level appetites in 1856, Ralph
w. Burger, president of The Great
Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company,
said recently.
Mr.. Burger said that food prices
in 1855 were 1.5 percent lower
than in 1854 and So percent be-
low 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 rec
ord 1855 level and that prices to
consumers will remain about the
same. With average weather
there should be adequate food sup
plies to meet consumer demand,
Mr.. Burger said.
This is a record and an out
look that the food industry can
be proud Of" Mr.. Burger declar-
ed. "It shows that the orderly
downward trend of food costs con-
tinued without interruption in
1855. 1t also shows that the ma
tons farmers and food distribu-
tors are meeting the heavier food
demands of our rapidly expand
ing population"
The ARP president warned,
however, that eff we are going to
continue to hold the price line and
at the same time assure famers
of an adequate return, we must
be alert to resist infiationary
trends developing within the in
dustry."
Food is one of the largest ex-
penses of the average family. Ov-
er-expansion and the unhealthy
competitive practices 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 be-
fore and made heavier purchases
of what were one Luxury Foods" /"
Per capita meat consumption, one
example he cited, exceeded 100
pounds-this was five per cent
more than in 1854 and the high
est 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 dramatic example of food
that got so low in price that the
producers actually suffered a
loss"
Mr.. Burger added that the food
industry is aware of the problem
and is trying to correct it through
drives to move surpluses into con-
sumption. 1t is also trying to
narrow the spread between farm
and retail prices through increas-

in your power to drive without
having a traffic accident. If you
winterize your car and your driv-
ing attitudes. We think you can
do it. Most Of us need no con-
vincing that winter driving is
pretty unpleasant. But that's no
reason it has to be deadly. The

acceptance of your own personal
responsibility for avoiding traffic

ing the efficiency of its own op-
erations, he said.
Although retail prices were
lower in 1855, said Mr.. Burger,
people spent more money for food.
This was, because of the greater
demand for higher priced items
and for foods with "built-in" SER
vices, such as cane mixes, frozen
foods and frozen meals, ready-to-
cook and pre-cooked items" he
explained.
The A&P president said the
food industry will continue to
meet the demand for convenience
services and that the coming year
will see more product improve
ments designed to save the house
wifes labor.
However, these items will not
be of real benefit to consumers"
he continued, eff they add unrea-
sonably to the cost of eating or
if the services cannot be per-
formed efficiently in the industry"
''The food industry operates in
the public interest, therefore, eff
ficiency must be it's main con-
cern," Mr.. Burger declared. He
noted that while food costs to con-
sumers went down in 1866, the
cost of food distribution went up.
Increases in wages, taxes, rent,
transportation and other fixed
costs cannot be controlled by the
industry, whereas certain other
costs the industry imposes upon
itself, he said.
Food merchants are merely
purchasing agents for Americas
consumers. Loose control over
costs, along with over-expansion
and unsound competitive practices
amount to speculation with the
consumers food dollars, which ac-
count for one-fourth of the av-
erage 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 incomes of less than
$4,000 a year, and that more than
three-ffths earn less than $1,000
a year"
One danger in over-expansion
cited by Mr.. Burger was the trend
toward larger and larger super
markets. "In general" 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 custom
ers. 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 Sunday business, 'give-aways'
and premiums were scrapped by
the food industry years ago, be-
cause they raised food prices" he
continued. 'Now, however, we are
in danger of reviving old costly
patterns"
One service the consumer is en-
titled to can be improved without
cost, according to the ALP pres
ident. 1.-THE cost of courteous
service is part of the price charg-
ed the customer" he said.
In reviewing other services per-

at which a person can file an ap-
