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

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.

Merry-Go-Round Grocery
Store Shelves Designed
Helena, Mont. (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."
