A&P President Foresees Stability in Food Prices Coast Guard Increases Quotas Recruiter Says Coast Guard recruiting it on the upswing, announces Fred Alcock, recruiting officer in Morehead City. He says that quotas have been in creased and that both veterans and men with no prior service are eli gible to enlist, provided they meet 'he high physical and mental ' standards of the Coast Guard. There Is an unlimited quota for veterans in the Coast Guard Re serve, boatswain Alcock adds. Vet- t erans from the Navy and Coast | Guard are guaranteed their rating ( back and veterans from other serv- , ices should check with the recruit er to find out what rating they may get. , Ratings higher than previously held may even be obtained in nu- , merous cases by all veterans. ( "Also, think of the extra pay for j being a member of an organized , reserve unit," the recruiter says. , A petty officer second class with over six years service receives $6 each drill attended. Multiply this by 48 drills each year and you have earned $288 extra for the year. All young men between the ages | of 17 and 21 with no prior military < service should check into the 6 x 8 program. A few of this program's ; many advantages are extra pay, education and adventure. "But < bear in mind these three points barely break the surface on the : many ways you may benefit," the recruiter says. Interested men may apply at the Coast Guard recruiting station, Morehead City, room 120, postof fice building, or in Wilmington at < the postoffice building. The Coast Guard recruiter will explain ad- ! vantages of the many programs ? offered. Ralph W. Burger, president and board chairman of The Great At lantic and Pacific Tea Co., says "Abundant food supplies will con tinue into the New Year, and there is strong evidence that consumer prices will be similar to or slightly below the low levels reached dur ing 1959." The nation's leading food retail er also foresees an industry wide leveling off in new store openings, oversized stores in many areas which are already "over stored," and the trend of the past decade toward the stocking of more and more non food items. He expects the pulling power of promotional sales gimmicks and giveaways to decline. During 1959 AitP opened approxi mately 255 new stores. In reviewing the past decade, Mr. Burger noted the sharp rise in demand for "convenience" foods, including a revolution in frozen items and ready mixes as well as giant strides in the develop ment of pre-packaged merchan dise, particularly in meats and fresh fruits and vegetables. The biggest news for consumers during the past year, the A&P offi cial said, was the marked decrease in food prices at a time when the over all cost of living index was reaching an all time high along with a record personal income. Mr. Burger attributed much of the food price index dip to lower retail prices for coffee, meat, poul try and fresh produce. Coffee priccs dropped about 20 per cent during 1959 and currently arc only about half of the all time high prices of June 1954. As A&P starts its second century of catering to the food needs of the American consumer ... it was founded in 1859 . . . Mr. Burger pledged a continuation of the com pany's 100 year old policy of plac ing top quality and low prices above all other considerations.
