Show GROCERS GIVEN CREDIT FOR PRICE C0NT0L Grocers of the state and the nation na-tion have done a spectacular job in their efforts to control the cost of living. Working quietly behind the scenes, the neighborhood grocer groc-er has struggled to keep prices in line. Unfortunately, too few people peo-ple realize what a contribution grocers have made. In an effort to correct this situation, Nov. 13-20 13-20 is proclaimed as "Grocer-Con-eumer Anti-Inflation Week." During Dur-ing this period clubs, civic organizations, organi-zations, labor unions, schools and .... uuliwio LUG aidLC will honor the grocer. "No small part of the credit for arresting the flight of ruunaway prices belongs to the neighborhood grocer," it is stated. "Handicapped by a shortage of experienced help and by rising costs, he has had to work long hours and grapple with perplexing government regulations and reports. He must be given his share of the credit for keeping Utah among the states ranking high in price compliance." He doesn't wear any ribbons. He hasn't any Purple Heart or Silver Star. He is just a business man, trying his best to wade through unfamiliar government regulations, regula-tions, trying to keep his place of business operating during wartime and trying to cope with inexperienced, inexperi-enced, though willing, help. He is your hometown grocer the man on the corner. The man who stays until midnight, night after night, counting his ration stamps and tokens, making out his ration bank account checks and changing prices and point values when necessary. |
