is proof of the triumph of
quality over price. I think 1t
proves that the public, the mass
public, will back up its demand
for top quality products with
its dollars and that in these
days when-far too often for
consumer comfort-slipshod
performance and sleazy pro-
ducts are evident in the market
place. The thrifty housewife
will be the first to pay for
quality-providing it is COIL
sistent quality.
Quality Stressed
If ever there was an industry
where the consumer calls the
turn, that industry is food.
And Consumers are actually
hungry for top quality products
and services. Quality, in the
long run, always wins out over
price.
@. PORTER: What changes
do you see taking place at the
retail food counter that are of
vital interest to consumers?
A. CUMMINGS: The changes
are phenomenal. Fully one
third Of the grocery items today
were non-existent only 20 years
ago. Perhaps another third has
been changed in both sub
stance and appearance; you
have only to think of cake
mixes, desserts, frozen fruit
concentrates, frozen cakes and
complete dinners. Today some
stores handle more than 5000
items.
With all this selection avail
able, there are still about
100 new items placed on the
market every week. Because
you, the consuming public, are
so selective today, only a tiny
percentage Of that number
will prevail.
So-called convenience foods
are more and more in demand
as women spend less time in
the kitchen. The "built-in"
services of convenient, we'll
packaged food products vastly
reduce the former home cost
and inconvenience of bulk
storage. preparation, cooking,
fuel and time consumed.
Habits Changing
The tremendous increase in
the number of working women
is changing our dining and
shopping habits and, con-
sequently, our food processing
methods. In 1890 only 4 per
cent of married women worked
outside the home. The figure
today is around 80 per cent and
still rising. With less time
available for cooking and pre-
paration of food, this calls for
more convenience" items on
the grocerS' shelves.
@. PORTER: In what sort Of
stores do you see us shopping
in coming years?
A. CUMMINGS: At the
retail level, supermarketS will
become more attractive. And
shopping will be easier and
more pleasant.
Above all, the point / want
to make is that consumers of
food want especially three
things: top quality, convenience
and variety. They'll always,
! repeat, win out over price.

TALKING OF BUSINESS
Silver Spring Compony's Recorder
Tapes Clues to Plane Behavior
BY TRUMAN r. TEMPLE
star star Writer

A small black box weighing
about 20 pounds is expected to
shed new light on the circum-
stances surrounding the worst
airline disaster in history.
The Civil Aeronautics Board
said contents of a metal tape
containing vital information
about one of the two planes
involved in the collision over
Staten Island December Is
will be made public at q hear
ing January 4 in New York.
Although the CAB is mum
about just what's on the tape,
it was learned that the tape
survived the crash in good con-
dition. It was inside a flight
recorder aboard the United
Airlines jet airliner. The
collision resulted in 1874 deaths,
and its cause is still mystery.
Other records of converSa-
tions by field controllers and
pilots have previously been
made public. But this tape
contains new data about the
jets altitude. direction, speed,
and other information, prior
to the collision.
Subsidiary Of Emerson
Among the companies push
ing research on flight recorders
is a Silver Spring, Md. firm,
Emertron, Inc, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Emerson Radio
& Phonograph Corp. The COM
pany feels the product has a
bright future.
Two things helped get
Emertron busy making flight
recorders. First was its own
Specialty-it develops all sorts
Of electronic hardware, much
of it classified. Second. govern
ment regulations point toward
an increasingly widespread use
Of these watchdog devices on
all aircraft. both civilian and
military.
Emertron didn't make the
particular recorder abroad the
doomed jetliner. But it has
produced another type for the
Air Force which it feels is
more advanced and versatile.
Must Garry Recorders
Federal law now requires
that all commercial jets flying
above $4,000 feet altitude and
all turboprops, such as the
Electras. must carry flight
recorders. These devices must
be able to store five types of
information: Air speed, altitude.
direction of the plane, vertical
acceleration and time elapsed
IN flight.
They are naturally rugged
instruments. capable of with
standing great heat and shock.
Emertron's model goes several
steps further. 1t not only can
store data maenetically on nine
separate channels on its steel
alloy tape. but can mix in addi-
tional bits of information at
intervals.
ITS a very sophisticated in
strument." said Harold Gold
berg. first vice president for
Emertron. The Air Force is
still working on how to put to
best use some of the data it
records"
