Evidence presented traces
some of the operations of a few
major food chains who also op
erate their own bakeries, con
centrating on the whfte loaf.
* * *
The evidence shows they are
using this one loaf of bread as
“bait” to bring people into their
stores. They set lower price
than rompetition, advertise their
bread is five cents cheaper.
* * *
Hearings also develop that
price of this loaf is the same
as in 1948, despite fact price of
everything else in the stores has
gone up, including other prod
ucts from their own bake shops.
* * • *
There seems little question
this loaf of bread is being sold
below production costs in viola
tion, in spirit at least, of Robin-
son-Patman act. Federal Trade
Commission is aware of situa
tion, so far has taken no effec
tive action. Of course FTC is
always moaning about lack of
funds, but also announced other
day it is going to hire more peo
ple to sit around all day and read
radio and TV commercials.

Bu,t many independent bakers
have been forced out of business.

In addition, many independent
grocers, unable to sell bread for
less than cost, are being seri
ously hurt.

And while these two effects are
serious enough, there also ap-'
pears other far-reaching effects
which have damaged farmers
...perhaps explain in part neces
sity to subsidize wheat growers.
* * *
Consumption of wheat, once
269 pounds per capita in nation,
_ has.'faTten—te-»-4ew~L2tr- puundsr
* * *
—FbefK'rt witnesses before com
mittee attribute one reason for
consumption decline is lack of
flavor appeal in white bread, or
the “sameness'’ of it.
* » *
Carrying this viewpoint fur
ther, they say white loaf turned
out by chains all use same in
gredients. same formula and is
mass produced by same type of
automatic machines, so that
product tastes the same.
* * * •
Independent bakers, who use a
lot of hand labor to develop dif
ferent flavors, and different types
of bfead, have been closed <up.
„N * * *
Thus, in many markets, people
are faced with the alternative of
buying mass produced bread or
nothing, and because of this mo
notonous sameness in their daily
bread are not consuming their
share of one of nature's most
healthful foods, wheat. And thus
nation’s wheat farmers are in
distress because end products of
their crops is being used as a
price football to drive out inde
pendent competition. Of course,
nrany farm leaders have long
held welfare of American farmer
depends on welfare of independ
ent' business. In all nations per
mitting monopoly business, the
farmer always becomes a serf,
or at best, a peasant.
Dr. Herbert Spaugh
Everyday Counselor

There are many people who are naive enough to think they can
have their cake and eat it. At least they try to do so. One such is
Alexander J. Brady and family of Cleveland.
In 1949 Brady sold his 17-room, house to the government for $31,-
350. The government planned to build a Veterans Hospital on Bra-
day’s, property and 13 adjacent lots. The people
who lived in tho 13 other houses sold.to the govern
ment and moved out.
Brady wanted to stay on. So he induced a gov
ernment official to sign an agreement, renting him
the house at $1 a year, “until such time as the
premises are .... actually needed for the purpose
for which purchased.” That day never came, as
plans for the hospital were cancelled.
Eighteen months ago the government ordered
Brady to mpve. He refused and displayed his agree
ment. Assistant U. S. Attorney Russell Ake argued
Dr. Spaugh j n CO urt that the agreement was invalid because
the government official who signed it had no such authority. Judge
Paul Jones agreed, and ordered Brady to move out and pay the gov
ernment $1,800 in back rent—$100 a month for the last 18 months. “I
don’t think there is any rhyme or reason to his position,” the judge
said. “What if the hospital were never built?”
There are Other people just as foolish and selfish, and their name
is legion. In our marriage counseling experience, I’ve encountered
cases where husbands have wanted to retain their wife and children
while carrying on. an affair with another woman on thp outside.
There are many women who wiSh to retain all the special privi
leges and respect which have -been accorded women for generations,
while at the same time clamoring for all the privilges of men and
competing against them with both.. «
There is the familiar picture of teen-agers' drawing money from
the family till while resenting and rejecting the authority and pat
tern of the homes ih which they live.
There is the employee who works his 8 hours a day, but grumbles
because he does not have the things his employer has, all the while
being unwilling to assume responsibilities which will enable him to
climb the ladder.
I might add that there are church members who are unwilling for
their minister to have a greater income than they, although he spent
many more, years on his educaton, handles problems they wouldn’t
and couldn’t touch, and furthermore, works many more hours a day.
We all must learn that the companion of privilege is responsibil
ity There’s no place where this unwillingness is more apparent than
in the carelessness of the citizens of this great country of ours to as
sume the responsibility of the ballot box and to take their proper
share of public service.
