ADENAUER'S EXIT

Erich Mende, leader of the Free Demo-
Gratis in West Germany, the third largest po-
itical party, recently announced publicly
his party would no longer support Chancel-
lor Konrad Adenauer after approximately
one year.
Mende said that one of the conditions for
the Free Democrats joining the coalition
government with the Christian Democrats
(Adenauer's party) was that the 86-year-
old Chancellor would retire in 1868.
In recent days, when the subject of his
retirement was mentioned, the aging Chan
cellor has failed to be specific about plans
for retirement in 1868. Some believe he has
no intention of stepping down from the office
he has held since 1949 voluntarily.
And so the stage is being set for a dra-
matte showdown in West Germany. The un-
derlying question is who will be the next
Chancellor, and this could greatly affect
such organizations as the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization and the European Com
mon Market.

BABSON DISCUSSES SUPERMARKETS

BabSOn Park, Mass, October IL.
Many newspaper publishers h e
noticed recently that supermarkets
are cutting down their advertising.
Naturally this is of interest to
readers of this column who depend
on supermarket advertising O
check the prices of their products
one with another. Let me discuss
this week the possible reasons for
this reduction in advertising b Y
some of the supermarket chains.
Cost of Trading Stamps
When only few stores used
trading stamps (mostly and HI
the distribution of stamps was
reasonable. These stamps, used in
limited amounts, were doubtless
appreciated by many who wer e
buying goods. Not only were h e
amounts then used very limited
but the stamps were often thrown
away by buyers. Today the situa-
tion has changed greatly. Not only
are most of the supermarkets and
similar establishments using trad
ing stamps, but they are compet-
ing with one another in the num-
ber of stamps they give for h e
purchase of certain items.
Furthermore, many of the large
chains are printing their own
stamps and operating their own
centers for redeeming the stamps
Altogether this is becoming quite
expensive and / fear the cost is
being charged to general advertis-
ing. The final result will depend
on whether the owners of the su-
permarkets get more customers
through trading stamps or through
advertising. From studies I have
Milford chronicle., 1962-10-12


mated. Here's the approved
treatment: mix one teaspoon of
light-duty detergent in half a
pint of lukewarm water. Apply
small amount to the spot. Blot.
Apply small quantities of clear,
lukewarm water, blotting after
each application. When the stain
has gone, cover area with towel
ing with a weight on top. Leave
in place four to six hours.
Silk Again = Silk is making a
strong comeback in women's
dresses and suits. The 6,500,OO0
tons of raw silk used in u. S.
textile mills last year was a ten
year high. A shortage may even
be in sight because many jap
anese farmers abandoned their
silk farms for factory jobs.
Quality Clue for Mems Suits -
Contrary to popular belief, hand
sewn buttonholes on a mans
suits are not a sure indication
of quality. Some inferior suits
have hand-fnished buttonholes

business derived from trading
stamps has about reached it's max
imum. | believe that the better SUI
permarkets are returning to in
creased newspaper advertising and
are ourtailing so far as possible the
competitive use of stamps.
Supermarket @OyerprOductiOn"
Many who invested earlier in the
stocks of new supermarkets have
made a great deal of money. A
number of these stocks sell at sew
eral times their original cost. The
rapid rise of supermarkets was due
primarily to bulk purchasing and
modern merchandising. 1t did not
take long for them to wipe out
the old grocery stores, meat mar
kets, and similar competitors.
Many of the small stores combined
at first into cooperative organiza-
tions ito meet the new competition.
Some of these co-operatives have
survived and others have been dis
banded or bought by supermarkets.
The automobile has been a big
help; the supermarkets saw at
once the Importance of providing
sufficient parking space for their
customers. This caused many of
them to leave the center of n e
city, but the customers did not OBJ
ject because practically all of them
came in automobiles. The super
markets also provided carts" for
the customers to push around and
fill up: and then provided boys to
take the packages out of the carts
to the customers automobiles! The
policy of the supermarkets in pur-
chasing big parking lots has made
them large real estate owners.

ASTRONAUT BALLYHOO

One of the fruits of being hero is the
adulation that goes with this exalted status.
Adulation involves public appearances. In
our NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. era there is strong
temptation to make use of hero to publi-
cize the particular kind of heroism which he
exemplifes.
That is what Walter Schirra, Jr., had in
mind when he sounded off about what he
considers the too heavy public commitments
of his fellow astronaut, John H. Glenn, Jr.
Schirra thinks that Glenn's various good
will appearances in behalf of the space pro-
gram "have just about wiped him out" as
an active participant in it. 1t is Schirra's
feeling, apparently, that Glenn would be of
more use contributing to the program as it
develops rather than serving as kind of
ballyhoo agent for it.
Gaining public acceptance of the space
program is important. But so is making
full use of the astronaut's experience
Though Glenn is good advertising, his pri-
mary function as an astronaut should not
be downgraded.

Furth ermore, the locations secur-
ed by the early supermarket chains
have become very valuable and, in
a way, make them a monopoly in
the industry 1t is difficult for a
new supermarket coming to a city
to secure decent location.
Importance of Discount Houses
The fact that many supermarkets
are awakening to the Importance
discount houses makes me e.
lieve that the stock quotations for
the supermarkets will go higher.
Many of these supermarkets are
erecting the buildings for t h
discount houses directly adjoining
their own operations. While h
growth of supermarkets has a very
definite relation to population, i t
is possible that some of those
located in areas of stagnant popu-
lation might be able at least for
a time to offset this handicap by
attaching to themselves discount
houses. Otherwise, supermarkets in
stagnant populations will be lick
