Safely Resolutions
Suggested For 1950
“If you would be thrifty, prac
tice safety in 1950,” is a New
Year’s Resolution suggested this
week by the county agent for the
State College Extension Service.
Such a resolution', the county
agent pointed out, can be carried
out by the whole family to the
benefit of all. Furthermore, it is
thoroughly practical and can
mean the difference between pro
fit an dloss for the new year.
Making and keeping New
Year’s safety resolutions is much
more than a pastime; ii is a means
of assuring the happiness and
well-being of farm families ev-
’erywherc. The Naional Safety
Council suggests that if each
member of every farm family
makes and keeps one good safety
resolution in 1950, noticeable
progress will be made toward re
ducing the tremendous toll that
accidents take in agriculture.
Following are a few suggested
resolutions for farm families to
make for 1950:
1. We will continually cheek
the farm to locate and remove
hazards.
2. We will at all times observe
all safety rules in the operation
of machines.
3. We will encourage our fri
ends to work, play and drive safe
ly.
4. Regardless of the emergency,
we will not permit young chil
dren to operate or ride upon
farm machinery.
5. We will observe due caution
when working with or around
animals.
6. We will keep guns unloaded
and out of reach of children.
7. We will handle poisons and
explosives carefully and keep
them labeled and out of reach of
children.
8. We will encourage year-a-
round participation in farm safe-
^ aetivitiai by the organlalloai'’
to which we bda^

What Can The People Believe?
When the antitrust lawyer, in Washington filed their suit to put thi A&P out of
hiuided out for all the newspapers of the United States a story giving m detail then allegations agains
this company.
When we published aavertisemenls giving our side of the case, they protested, even though Aey had mad^
and have continued to make, in newspapers, in speeches and over the radio these charges that would
ously danu^e our business, if they were believed by the public.
Every week millions of American housewives patronize A&P stor^. Many of them would not want to deal
with the kind of people that the anti-trust lawyers represent us to be.
We think we have a right to protect this 90-year old business which has made it possible for millions of
Xneri.:^ to get more and better food for their money, which is providing °rri„»
to 110,000 Americans and which is helping millions of farmers to improve the methods of distnbutmg
their produce.
No answer by us would be necessary if the anti-trust lawyers were always right.
But they, all other human beings, can be wrong.
In this case we) know they are wrong.
They have been wrong before.
In case after case they made charges against A&P which were proved in court to be utterly without foun-
• dation.
We will prove that statement right up to the hilt.
The anti-trust lawyers tell the public that they won a previous anti-trust suit against us at Danville, Illinois.
They did. ' ''
What they do not tell you is that they brought case after case against the A&P in federal courts all over
the United States. Before they won this case they suffered three defeats.
The antitrust lawyers have told everybody about the time that Uie courts said they were right We think
you are entitled to know about the three times the courts said they were wrong.
Now we are going to tell you about the first one.4n future advertisemenU we will tell you about all of them.
The Washinfifton Bread Case
in April, 1941, the anti-trust lawyers brought a criininal suit in Wash-
ii^[tm, D. C.
They charged that the A&P, two grocery chain competitors, two labor
union* and othmr good Ammican citizens had conspired to fix the price
of bread.
P-an anyone imagine any charge calculated to be more damaging to a
retail grocery business? They asked millions of people to believe that
we were the kind of grocers who would take bread out of thf mouths ot
poor people and make it harder for a wife and mother to feed her family.
These charges were false.
In that case it developed that the A&P and the two competitors who were
charged with conspiring with us to maintain high bread pnees actually
sold bread cheaper than most of the other stores in ^Washington.
The anti-trust lawyers presented and argued their case. When they were
through. Federal District Judge Allen T. Goldsborough ruled that AW*
find the other defendants did not even have to^ put^ in a defense. He
ordered the jury to bring in a verdict of ‘ not guilty.
/ndge Goldsborough said to the anti-trust lawyers:
"If you were to show this record to any experienced
trial lawyer in the world, he would tell you that there
was not any evidence at all.
"Honestly, / have never in my over forty years* experi
ence seen tried a case that was as absolutely devoid of
evidence as this. That is the honest truth. I have never
seen one like it.**
THE GREAT ATLANTIC &
So here was a case in which the anti-trust lauryers made s«rioudy
charges against the A&P, in support of which, in the words of the court,
they did not have **any evidence at alL”
This was not the only time the anti-trust lawyers made charges against
the A&P which the courts said were not true. In ^ture ads we Me
to tell you about these other suits. We are not going to duck, either. We
are going to tell you about the criminal suit that the anti-trust' lawyers
won at Danville, Illinois. '
1
The anti-trust lawyers say that they are not attacking
efficiency. They have to say that because the courts have decided okat
“bigness” and efficiency and selling at low prices is not a crime.
But the fact is crystal clear that they only brought their bread suit agamrt
the big companies and agairrst compaiues that sold good bread at the
lowest prices: just as in this current suit they are attacking a big company ^
that sells good food cheap. [
We are going to show the American p^ple that the smt to destroy A&P
is really a suit against efficiency and against real competition.
The real question involved in this suit is whether bu^essmen arc going
to be encouraged to do a better and more efficient job; or wheffier we
are going to let the anti-trust lawyers in Washington blow ^e whistle on ♦
anybody who gets big by giving the people more for thw money. 5*:^.
No one can make us beiieve that it is a crinw to try to mU
the best qutdity food at the lowest possible price. j
