Freshness, Flavor Watchwords
For All Coffee Sold By A And P
The perishability of coffee is
constantly recognized by A&P
Food Stores and through every
process from buying to custom
grinding, the greatest
are taken to ensure frfisfiftess and
maximum flavor of A&P coffee
for customers.
Coffee and tea werte the back
bone of the small which
began 97 years ago. knd'tjhe popu
lar chain of' stores it
has grown has not infected to
preserve the unique qualities of
coffee goodness. A&P Food
Stores are one of the largest re
tailers of coffee i nthe country
today and outselling all other cof
fees in the stores are the famous
A&P blepds, Eight O’clock; Red
Circle and Bokar.
!To guarantee freshness; each
package of coffee is dated when
roasted, and shipped immediately
to stores. Coffee remains on the
store shelves only a limited time
after the date of roasting. When
selecting coffee the customer can
be sure that ft is fresh.
Because it is packaged in the
flavor-sealed bean and ground tej
order A&P coffees retain their |
choice flavor.
The National Outlook
The Treasury Is Given Elbow Room
By Ralph Robey
Some time ago the Administra
tion requested the Federal deb'
limit be raised by $5 billion. Con
press has now complied and unti
Tune 30, 1959, the limit will b(
S2BO billion.
The delay in voting the in
crease, was in the Senate. Thi
Senate Finance Committee, undei
the chairmanship of Senator
Byrd, had extensive hearings be
fore veting 10 to 5 to report out
the bill, and the chairman voted
with the minority.
There were, of course, many
witnesses before the committee
but perhaps the most important
one in support of the increase
was Secretary of Treasury Ander
ffon. Senator Byrd in introduce
ing the bill quoted the Secre
tary's main arguments as fol-1

l Although the trend in all A&P
Food Stores is toward complete
self-service, coffees are still cus
tom ground by staff members
when purchased. Reason for this
divergence from self-serve tech
niques is to preserve peak fresh
ness and ensure the correct grind
for the utensil being used to make
coffee. The staff is trained to
know the proper grind for each
utensil and also to answer cus
tomers’ questions concerning cof
fee.
Automatic coffee mills insure
perfect grinding every time.
So popular have these famous
coffee brands beeome that those
living in an area not served by
an A&P Super Market have trav
eled miles to buy the fresh-flavor
ed A&P Coffee. And, as an ex
tra bonus of pleasure for the
thrifty shopper, A&P coffees cost
considerably less than other of
comparable quality. Most re
cently A&P has added to their,
famous family of A&P coffees, ai
2-oz. and a 6-oz. jar of A&P pure I
Instant Coffee, which has become
very popular with A&P’s custom- j
ers-. '
’ow.

economical management of the
lebt.
“3. Even with a balanced bud
get there will still be large sea
;onal fluctuations in receipts,
which make operations under the
$275 billion limitation most diffi
cult.”
Senator Byrd obviously would
have preferred that no increase
had been necessary at this time,
and if an increase was to he
made that it be limited to $3 bil
’ion. In introducing the bill he
said: . “As chairman of the com
mittee I am confident that its aD

Edentonians At Premier Showing
w,.....-... «—*
i s’
Many Edenlon people went to Washington, N. C„ Friday.
February 28. for tne huge celebration in connection with the
premier showing oi "Laiayelle Lscaoxilie," which was covered
by the Edenlon radio station WCDJ. Snapped during the. ce.e
biation was the above picture including, left to right, Susan
Oliver, TV and movie star currently appearing in "Father
Knows Best"; Kathryn Wozelka. Judy Israel. James McArthur,
movie star with Warner Bros,' and son of Helen Hayes, Ann
Stacey and Millie Price. The picture was taken at the Country
Club after WCDJ interviewed Miss Oliver and McArthur.
debt limit will open the door to
another era of deficit spending
and will result in starting again
the inflationary spiral.”
With the bill on the Senate
floor the first effort was to re
turn jt to the committee. Sena
tor Cotton of New Hampshire was
the leader in this. His main ar
gument was: “We should not
permit the word to go out today
that the first thing the Senate did
... in the present session, was to
raise the debt limit. We cannot
explaih to the general public all
the elements involved. If the
word goes out, it will have a di
sastrous impact.” His plea was
to recommit the bill and call it
out later jf events proved that a
debt limit increase was really im
perative.
Senator Wallace Bennet of
Utah made the most telling reply
to Senator Cotton. Senator Ben
nett pointed out that since the
committee hearings have been
completed the Treasury found it
necessary to draw SIOO million
out of its free gold, and that be
cause of the seasonal pattern of
income tax payments “the time
of crisis is now.”
When the vote to recommit was
taken the motion lost 12 to 74.
Next an effort wgs made to
limit the increase to $3 billion.
•The motion'to accomplish this
was made by Senator Lausche of
Ohio and he spoke at some
length in support of such limita
tion. Senator Byrd supported this
motion, as he had in the commit
tee, and emphasized that statis
tical estimates do not indicate a
need for more than a $3 billion
increase. v He said these estimates
had not been refuted by the
Treasury and in the interest of
keeping a tight debt limit he felt
the increase should be restricted
to $3 billion.
The vole on this motion to lim
it the increase to $3 billion was
lost 27 to 56. Shortly thereafter
the bill as introduced was passed
without a recorded vote, and be
fore the end of the week it was
signed by the President.
What does this increase of the
debt limit mean?
First, it means that the pres
sure iof government economy
will be less and modest anti-re
cession programs, including tax
reduction or reform, can be
adopted if it is decided that they
are desirable.
Second, it means that reason
able errors in Administration es
timates for receipts and expendi
tures in fiscal 1959 can be ab
sorbed without running into dif
ficulty on the debt limit.
Third, it means that the Treas
ury jjdll have enough leeway to
handle the debt in a more effi
cient, and perhaps more economi-
cal, manner.
In other words, although it
would have been better- if
through more government econo
my in past years this increase
had not become necessary, under
present circumstances there was
no real alternative.
