SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, August 13, 1952 Court-Chosen Panel To S u pe ry ise Vote By Sunbath ing Group Convention Glade, Mays Land ing.N. J.' U. Nudists of America gathered in solemn con clave Wednesday, faced with the bare fact that no one knew who was in charge. As the 21st annual convention of the American Sunbathing as sociation began a five day ses sion, the naked truth was that they were legally in the alto getherthat is, altogether with out officers. Full Undress Debate There will be a full undress debate on that subject Thursday. Wednesday, the vanguard of "an expected 300 delegates from 30 states was arriving and stripping down to bare essentials over the 150 acres of Sunshine Park home of the ASA. Thursday comes the fire works. American udists have got themselves in an uproar during the past year, and this, is the time of decision. Panel To Supervise Superintending the balloting for new officers will be a court appointed panel of three men, who, as far as can be learned, will come fully clothed. The pan el was appointed by Superior Court Judge V'ncent S. Hane man of Atlantic City, who last March 26 ruled the association was legally without officers. This grew out of a sad schism between the Rev. Ilsley Boone, 73-year-old Baptist minister who for 20 years has been a power K LA Clicquot Club GINGER ALE LA in American nudism and Norval Packwood, a rival leader. Storm Halts Election During last year's convention, near Mohnton, . Pa., the Boone and Packwood factions put up rival slates. When election of of ficers was under way a thunder storm broke. Nudists scattered for cover. The tape machine which was recording votes got tangled. Packwood claimed a victory. This got under the -skin of the Boone people. They held a rump session and declared their own slate victorious. They appealed to the courts, and Judge Haneman made bis decision. He appointed: a "mas ter of elections" and two tellers to watch over this year's elec tion.

(U.R) There may be a revolution in the gro cery store business one of these days. Ken Thompson of Helena hopes it will be a seven-and-a-half minute revolution. That's how Ipng it will take one of Thompson's merry-go-round-style grocery shelves to bring the store's contents around to the shopper, who stands by, picking out what she wants. Thompson's idea is to give the smaller grocer a better chance to compete with the chain-store supermarket. "I've spent my life trying to make the independent merchant capable of competing with chain stores," he explained. "That's why I invented the wheel." Would Cut Cosls Tnompson, who has been in strumental in forming at least one organization of grocers in this area, said his newest Idea may cut operating costs about two per cent. In a business where the mark-up is often low, that little two per cent could be important. The Giant Wheel Fixture Corp. will make a 48-foot wheel as a standard size, when it gets going. The company also will make wheels in larger or smaller sizes, depending on the size of the cus tomer's store. The wheel, with up to six shelves, will sit in the middle of the store, making one complete turn every seven and one half minutes. Shoppers can take up a post at one spot and wait for the store's contents to come by; if they're in a hurry, they can scoot around to meet the beans or ketchup half way. The motive power of the con traption would be a small motor, turning a geared-down graphite wheel under one side of the affair. The big wheel would re volve on rollers or wheels. If Thompson's ideas work out in actual practice,, there would be no center shaft to take up room that could otherwise be used for grocery stocks. Shorter Shopping Time Thompson thinks .the wheel may cut shopping time at least in half. Not only that but it's efficient in other ways, he argues. "The standard, wheel will be able to hold about 600 cases of gracery -items," he explained. "That's more than you'll find on the shelves of many stores." . : Furthermore, its the answer to the display problem, he said. A merchants won't have to worry about giving seasonal items bet ter display at certain times of the year. Any spot on the wheel is the best spot. Fresh produce and meats might be handled in more con ventional cases or display shelves. Place for Children There's also a place' for the children in the kind of : store Thompson has in mind. He'd build a sort of play pen for them just inside, the door, leaving mother or dad free to do the shopping. Thompson is one of these na tural born grocers, who can al most sense if everything is going as it should in a store. He can tell if the customers arc peeved over something and if all is not as it should be. "I can't explain it," he said, "but I know when I walk into a store if it's efficient or .not." Efficiency, he believes,-is what the small store owner needs to keep in business. As Thompson says: "If you can't beat your com petition, jump over them."
