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.
