Community Concert
Assn. Drive Successful
With man than 800 season member
ships for adults and approximately 600
students' tickets, the 1962-63 Clinton Com
munity Concert Association get-s off to a
most auspicious start.
Under the chairmanship of Mrs. James
Von Hollen, a successful membership drive
was concluded last week. President R. H,
Dawson is the new leader of the associa
tion this year. Thanks are due to E. A.
Parnell, now a resident of Sumter and for
mer president of the local group, for coming
back to Clinton to aid in putting across this
year’s effort.
The first concert in a series of four will
take place on Nov. 16 when the popular At
lanta Symphony Orchestra will return to
Clinton. Last year, the orchestra, under
the conductors hip of Henry Sopkin, in ad
dition to its evening performance, appeared
in an early afternoon engagement for
school pupils from all over the county. The
walls all but bulged with the packed au
dience. And a like performance will be
repeated this year.
In mid-January Robert Hamilton pian
ist, son of Clinton’s own Mr. and Mrs. Al
exander R. Hamilton, will appear in con
cert, to be followed on Feb. 4 by William
Clauson, folk singer and guitarist; and on
March 15 by the Columbus Boys Choir.
These attractions should prove to be
extremely popular and four delightful eve
nings are anticipated by Clinton’s concert-
goers.

Clinton Area
Enters New Era
With the opening last week of the Clin
ton District’s magnificent new hospital this
section of the county enters upon a new
era in medical services and facilities.
But while we and others are expressing
our thankfulness for the new milestone let
us not forget what has gone before.
Three smaller private hospitals closed
their doors when the new facility opened.
It is to them and their owners that our
thoughts are directed—Hays Hospital Bla
lock Clink and the Joanna Hospital.
Two of them were operated by Clinton
physicians, Dr. D. O. Rhame, Dr. E. N. Sul
livan, Dr. George R. Blalock, and Dr. R. M.
Fuller. The Joanna Hospital was operat
ed by the Joanna Foundation and the Jo
anna Cotton Mills.
They served this area to the best of
their ability with their limited facilities
and equipment—and they served well.
Grateful patients can be found all over this
section of the county.
Too, they did an untold amount of char
ity work, tenderly caring for those they
knew could not pay for the services ren
dered.
We arc sure we express the sentiments
of residents of this community when we
extend thanks and gratitude for the faith
ful service given throughout the years.
Hie Adam's apple is a common name for the projecting
thyroid cartilage in the throat.
Everybody has this cartilage, but it is more noticeable
in men than in women, and more noticeable in some men
than in others.
The Old Testamet tells the story of Adam’s earing the
forbidden fruit popularly supposed to have been an apple
Centuries ago the legend arose that a piece of the apple
stuck in Adam’s throat, causing the projection in all men's
throats.
Through this legend the projecting thyroid cartilage ac
quired the name “Adam’s Apple**

Was This Trip
Necessary?
When Secretary of the Interior Stewart
L. Udall decided to lead a delegation of
Federal power experts on a tour of Soviet
electric power installations no doubt he ex
pected all to applaud. After all isn’t every
thing bigger and better in Russia?
He came back and said we should learn
about long distance transmission from
them, hence the remark of Rep. John P.
Saylor of Pennsylvania in the Congressional
Record critical of this “junket” must have
come as a rude shock to Mr. Udall. Mr.
Saylor’s remarks tend to put the trip in a
different perspective. They are also en
couraging and enlightening—well worth re
peating.
Mr. Saylor said: “It seems to me that
if the Secretary wants a better knowledge
of the operation of a truly magnificent and
efficient electrical power supply system
he’d better look in his own back yard rather
than spending the taxpayers’ money to go
half way around the world.
“It is not difficult to understand why

tration on Federal power activities wants

Babaon Park, Mass.. October 11. Many news
paper publishers have noticed recently that super
markets are cutting down their advertising
Naturally this is of interest to readers of this
column who depend on supermarket advertising
to check the prices of their products one with
another. Let me discuss this week the possible
reasons for this reduction in advertising by some
of the supermarket chains.
COST OF TRADING STAMPS
When only a few stores used trading stamps
<mostly S It HI, the distribution of stamps was
reasonable. These stamps, used
mostly hi limited amounts,
then used very limited, but the
stamps were often thrown away
by buyers. Today the situation
has changed greatly. Not only
are most of the supermarkets
and similar establishments us
ing trading stamps, but they are
competing with one another in
the number of stamps they give
for the purchase of certain
items.
Furthermore, many of the large chains are
printing their own stamps and operating their
own centers for redeeming the stamps. Altogether
this is becoming quite expensive and I fear the
cost is being charged to general advertising. The
final result will depend on whether the owners
of the supermarkets get more customers through
trading stamps or through advertising. From
studies I have made, it is evident to me that busi
ness derived from trading stamps has about
reached its maximum. I believe that the better
supermarkets are returning to increased news
paper advertising, and are curtailing so far as
possible the competitive use of stamps.
SUPERMARKET “OVERPRODUCTION”
Many who invested earlier in the stocks of
new supermarkets have made a great deal of
money. A number of these stocks sell at several
times their original cost. The rapid rise of super
markets was due primarily to bulk purchasing
and modern merchandising. It did not take long
for them to wipe out the old grocery stores, meat
markets, and similar competitors. Many of the
small stores combined at first into cooperative
arganiiathms to mast the uew competitkiii
of these cooperatives have survived and others
have been disbanded or bought by supermarkets
The automobile has been a big help; the
supermarkets saw at once the importance of pro
viding sufficient parking space for their cus
tomers. This caused many of them to leave the
center of the city, but the customer did not object
because practically all of them came in auto
mobiles. The supermarkets also provided “Carts’
for the customers to push around and fill up
and then provided boys to take the packages out
of the carta to the customers’ automobiles! The
policy of the supermarkets in purchasing big
parking lots has made them large real estate
owners. Furthermore, the locations secured by
the early supermarket chains have become very
valuable and, in a way, make them a monopoly
in the industry. It is difficult for a
market coming to a city to secure a decent loca
tion.
IMPORTANCE OF DISCOUNT HOUSES
The fact that many supermarkets are awaken
ing to the importance of “discount houses” makes
me believe that the stock quotations for the
supermarkets are erecting the buildings for these
discount houses directely. adjoining their
operations. While the growth of supermarkets has
a very definite relation to population, it is possi
ble that some of those located in areas of stag
nant population might be able—at least for
time—to offset this handicap by to
themselves discount houses. Otherwise, super
markets in stagnant populations wfll be licked!
As one who believes in the “cycle theory,” ll
am interested to note how every community start
ed with its “general store” which included every
thing from the cracker barrel to the post office!
Then the general lines of industry became dis
tributed amongst a large number of small local
wmn
eral store idea which was so common in wsry
community one hundred years ago
me again bullish on the stocks of
chains.
