Automation
To Supermarket Carts
Chicago - Mechanization
has come to the busy super
market shopping cart.
Shoppers no longer push
their loaded carts to the park
ing lot at Jewel Tea com
pany's new store in Joliet's
Hillcrest Shopping center.
Pioneering a new super
market convenience, Jewel
has installed an endless chain
conveyor buried in the floor
that whisks loaded grocery
carts from the checkout
counter area through an un
derground tunnel directly to
a security room next to a
parking lot some 200 feet
away from the store. An at
tendant transfers the grocer
ies from the cart to the shop
per's automobile.
The new device is called
Kartveyor by its manufactur
er, Link-Belt company, and is
believed to be the first ap
plication of mechanization to
the grocery shopping cart.
The device is an adaptation
- to the supermarket of the
popular in-the-floor chain
conveyor used in factories,
warehouses and freight ter
minals. ' How It Works
Here's how Jewel s m e -
chanized shopping cart works
at the Hillcrest store in Jol
iet: After the shopper's pur
chases have been paid for at
the checkout counter, the
bagged groceries are replaced
in the s h o p p i n g cart.. The
shopper is given a numbered
tag, a duplicate of which is at
tached to the cart. Then,
w h i 1 e the shopper leaves to
make purchases elsewhere in
the shopping center, or goes
immediately to the parking
lot, the shopping cart quickly
gets under way.
From the checkout counter,
the cart is pushed by a store
attendant to the Kartveyor
which is visible only as a half
inch wide slot in the floor. Be
low the slot is the endless
conveyor chain which is mov
ing constantly in a trench be
low the floor level.
As soon as the cart is cen
tered over the track, a foot
pedal is depressed by a Jewel
employee to lower a small

New Convenience Foods
Introduced From Europe
By JEANNE LESEM
United Press International
New York - (UPD - Our Euro
pean cousins are said to shun
labor - saving convenience
foods, but you'd never know it
from their exhibits at the re
cent United States world
Trade Fair.
Especially for the soup
course. Dry soup mixes turn
ed up stronger than ever. Ox
tail soup, long a favorite
abroad, is a newcomer to this
country from Germany and
Switzerland. Other Swiss
products new here included
egg macaroni shell soup mix;
chestnut puree; breadsticks;
and Camembert cheese pro
cessed to remain stable at
peak ripeness.
The rich, meaty soups or
West Germany were repre
sented by two new mixes: liv
er dumpling and semolina
with smoked meat and vege
tables. Two varieties of mayonnaise
were introduced a Spanish
olive oil blend and a German
horseradish type. The former,
somewhat stronger than salad
oil dressings, goes well with
tuna fish or spicy sausages
and sandwich meats.
Spreading
steel tow pin into the slot.
The pin is engaged by a tow
ing attachment on the chain,
which pulls the cart on a 4
minute journey through the
underground tunnel to the
waiting or security room
alongside the parking lot.
Top Numbered
When the shopper drives
her car to the curb next to
the waiting room, she dis
plays her numbered tag and a
Jewel attendant rolls out the
cart with the corresponding
number and transfers the
purchases to the automobile.
The empty cart is returned to
the Kartveyor track, the tow
ing pin of the cart dropped in
to the slot and the cart re
turns to the store for another
round-trip. Towing attach
ments on the chain are locat
ed at 4-foot intervals. The
system is 536 feet over-all in
cluding turns at both ends,
and has a capacity of 450
carts per hour.
Chester H. Cole, Jewel's
construction and maintenance
engineer, who conceived the
new retail store use for the in
dustrial conveyor, predicts
that supermarket cart con
veyors will become standard
equipment to connect super
markets and parking lots
when the two are not adjoin
ing. Shoppers who wish, may
carry out their groceries in
their arms but Jewel says the
new cart conveyor will deliv
er purchases to the parking
area as quickly as a customer
could carry them.

FROM THE FRYING PAN

Repeated heatings of the same
cooking grease are known to
cause cancer producing agents
in the grease, it is reported in
the current issue of GP, offi
cial publication of the Ameri
can Academy of General Prac
tice. The next step is to deter
mine if the agents, called car
cinogens, are produced in suf
ficient quantities to trigger
stomach cancer, said Dr. E.

A new Hungarian salami
needs no embellishments.
This, and Danish summer
sausage made from pure round
steak without garlic, were
shown here for the first time.
The faintly spicy Danish
product is said to keep five
months without refrigeration.
New Olives
Spanish products new to the
U.S. market also included
manzanilla olives, which are
thumbnail size, green, and
less salty than other types;
preserved mussels; snails; and
truffled tuna.
Our national appetite for
TV dinners gave the Swiss
sweet ideas. They molded
marzipan, a ground almond
confection, into imitations of
hot dogs, hamburgers, Swiss
cheese sandwiches, fried eggs
and flounder.
The growing popularity of
Italian food got a boost with
the introduction of Italy's
leading brand of breadsticks,
fruit syrups in seven flavors,
spiced fruitcake in sizes rang
ing from one serving to one
pound packages, and hand
made spaghetti twists called
"fusilli."
In the quick-cooking cate
gory, Italy showed "risotto
alia Milanese" (Milan - style
rice), which takes half an hour
to prepare, and "fettuccine
peppino," a 20-minute dish of
pasta.
The Pan American Coffee
Bureau said the U.S. leads the
world in coffee consumption,
using almost 2.7-billion pounds
of green coffee beans a year.
France runs a poor second,
with 417-million pounds, and
Germany is third, with 352
million. But it took the fourth larg
est consumer, Italy with 179
million pounds to show 160
different continental coffee
makers, ranging from a tiny
espresso pot to a 200 cup
chrome machine.
For those who like the con
venience of instant products,
France sent an instant after
dinner coffee blend.
The Belgians, who last year
brought over confections shap
ed like flying saucers, this
time turned their talents to
color. One new Belgian prod
uct is a purple liqueur, par
fait amour, with rose and va
nilla flavoring.
Another is for cooks who'd
like to match the kitchen sink
to dishpan hands. It's a double
sink with drainboard, all made
of cherry red plastic.
Mitchells Return
From Island Stay
Mr. and Mrs. B. D. Mitchell
and four children, Brent,
Gibb, Brenda and Shelley, re
turned home Sunday after
spending the holidays in Ha
waii. The Mitchells made the
entire trip by air, using their
private plane for the trip to
and from San Francisco and
flying from the California city
to Hawaii.
They were registered at the
Princess Kaiulani hotel. The
entire family enjoyed swim
ming and surf-boating every
day of the stay. The hotel pro
vided a Christmas atmosphere
with a decorated tree in the
lobby and a visit from Santa
Claus for small children, the
Mitchells report.

Washington -flJPD- The Unit

knows, has three major politi
cal parties-Democrats, Repub

There is, of course, quite a
bit of party -line crossing.
Many women also are Demo
crats or Republicans or, as
frequently happens, both.
In the news recently have
been a Republican who sur
prised everybody by dropping
out of the presidential race
and two Democrats who sur
prised nobody by dropping in.

ship, I thought it was only
fair to see what the women
are up to. .
Convenient for this pur
pose, the National Woman's
party is holding a convention
here. For enlightment of
their activities, I was fortu
nate enough to contact Mrs.
Amelia Himes Walker of Win
ter Park, Fla., the national
chairman and one of the nic
est ladies ever arrested for
disturbing the peace.
Proud of Police Record
I mention Mrs. Walker's po
lice record only because she
is proud of it. So are her eight
grandchildren. One of them
got up in school one day and
boasted to his classmates that
his grandmother had been in
jail.
He neglected to mention
that it happened 42 years ago
when Mrs. Walker and 15
other ladies were picketing in
front of the White House in
behalf of woman's suffrage.
As she tells it, 16 burly
cops one for each lady de
scended upon them, herded
them into the "black maria"
and escorted them to the cala
boose. The police, however,
were unable to make the
charges stick.
A tiny white-haired woman
who takes 7 a.m. swims with
the grandkids, Mrs. Walker
related the experience with
relish while explaining how
the National Woman's party
came into being.
An outgrowth of the suf
frage movement, the party
has no candidates and only
one line-to persuade Congress
to approve a constitutional
amendment giving women
"equal rights" with men in
all legal ways.
Buttonhole Lawyers
The ladies have been pre
senting this proposal to every
session of Congress since
1923. This year they feel their
patience finally will be re
warded. When not sightseeing and
laying wreaths before statutes
of departed suffragettes, the
delegates are buttonholing the
lawmakers to round up the
few remaining votes neces
sary to put the amendment
across.
They also are seeking state
ments of support from the
various presidential candi
dates of the other two parties.
I asked Mrs. Walker wheth
er she planned to do any
picketing while she was in
town. No, she said, the party
doesn't go in for that sort of
thing any more.
But from the gleam in her
eye, I gathered that she sort
of regretted it.
Talks on Cosmetics
Planned for Club
Miss Barbara Amidon will
speak for a meeting of Wel
come Wagon club to be held
Thursday, January 7, at 8
p jn. in Girls Community club.
Her topic will be cosmetics.
Welcome Wagon club meets

of each month and all new
comers to Medford are invit
ed to attend.

Central Point The Decem
ber meeting of Central Point
Home Extension unit was
held at the home of Mrs. Mae
Korner. Mrs. Charles Klutsen
beker had prepared turkey
for the dinner meeting, and
she also presided over the

Mrs. Wallace West gave a
demonstration.
A wedding gift from the
group was presented to Miss
Mary Pat Lucy, Jackson coun
ty extension agent, who was
a visitor for the day.
During the program period,
the women related Christmas
customs which were tradition
al in their own homes.

Snap-On Beads
Have New Use
. By MARGUERITE DAVIS
.. United Press International
Chicago - (CT8 - Beads that
snap onto one another have
been put to a new use-to form
pictures, tapestries, and even
room dividers or draperies.
The product called Busy
beads, comes in boxes con
taining beads, rod and pat
tern to form a picture, or sep
arately in packages of 500 or
1,000 in any of 15 colors.
The package and - pattern
sets are easy to follow, and
promise good rainy day diver
sion for children. There are
23 subjects, ranging from an
814 by 14-inch owl, peering
through big white eyes, to an
18V4 by 24-inch impression
istic young girl. Included are
a number of little animals and
nursery characters.
Sold separately, they are
not cheap. A package of 1,000,
which makes about one square
foot, costs around 55.
Used for a room divider,
they could be graduated from
black opaque, through smoke
pearl to white pearL Or as
drapes they could range from
dark blue pearl through hori
zon blue to light blue.
When used as drapes or
room dividers, the beads hang
from a ceiling track. The
manufacturer (Laverne) says
they can be washed in a mild
detergent and are fade-proof
in bright sunlight.
