FAVORS FUL LG ONGHAN STORES AS RETAILER ATTITUDE Secretary of State Merchants Also Advocates Education Relating to Goods Valley City, N. D., June 18.—(?)— An educational extension department, to distribute information relating to goods and merchandise was advocat- ed by Walter D. Powell, secretary of the North Dakota Retail Merchants association, in his report before the ‘annual convention here today. of the state was on the program of bee convention which closes Thurs- lay. “It is now quite evident that the association should sponsor an educa- tional extension department,” Mr. Powell said. “Many persons, in busi- ness and professional lines, outside of retailing, are very vitally interested in.maintaining independent business —while a more general get-together of people in each town would insure initiative and the forwarding of par- ticular projects, .Experience gained in the past few weeks indicates that much greater headway may be made with an extension department having tae other than a trade associa- tion, Let Public Judge Chains “This could be sponsored as an ex- tension department, or incorporated as such. Our literature could be in- creased in volume, and its distribu- tion be more general. Aside from this, it is believed that a speaker could be maintained, . “In this regard, it is a duty we owe to the public, as well as to ourselves, to get the exact truth to them relat- ing to distribution of goods and mer- chandise. The truth is on our side. It remains for us to get it to the pub- lic. It may be stated that consider- able headway has been made along this line: As a matter fact, however, only a start has been made. “The work must continue, until sueh time as the people know posi- tively tha} chain systems distribute to the several units, or stores, through wholesale establishments; that it makes no particular difference whether or not they own such whole- sale houses. This accomplished, peo- ple as their own free agents may judge for themselves, as to the buy- ing advantages of the chain system.” Mr. Powell called attention to the increase in membership of the asso- Giation to approximately 800. Since January 1, the report showed, 182 new members had been added. Scores Trade Promotion Mr. Powell stated a drive had been conducted against trade promotion schemes with successful results. “A business, to be successful at this time, must stand squarely on its own feet,” he continued. “It cannot or should not be subjected to the un- favorable, reaction from promotion schemes — selling particular items much below the cost, except to close out, or to continue for an indefinite time. “Schemes and schemers will con- tinue with us just so long as the field is productive. We may expect a con- siderable number of the’ host to be out with a cure-all, or schemes to save independent merchants from be- ing devoured by the chain stores.” Tuesday the general merchants and grocers section of the association met and heard talks on various sub- jects pertinent to their work. Farm Editor to Speak George A. Green, of Ayr, president of the association, opened.the pro- gram, after which reports were given. Dr. Frank R. Weber, of the educa- tional division of the North Dakota Retail Merchants association, H. 8. McIntyre, editor of the Commercial Bulletin and the Apparel Merchant, P. A. Egeland, advertising expert, and Fred P. Mann, Sr., Devils Lake, were on today's program. A feature of the Thursday meeting will be an address by Charles F. Collisson, agricultural editor of the of the North Dakota Grain Dealers association, Harry L. Kyes, secretary of theNational Merchants association, The session will be con- ducted Thursday afternoon when of- ficers will be elected for the ensuing year. Elaborate Theatre Center Is Planned | THE BISMARCK TRIBU Born Without Arms, This Six-Year-Old Oklahoma Tot Finds It No Handicap Sand Springs, Okla.—(NEA)— / Nature put a terrible handicap on/ little Joan Whisnant. But it also ve Joan a sturdy, determined soul. | ‘he result is that Joan, overcoming | long.odds, has found a way to an ac-| tive, almost normal existence in spite of an affliction that might have seemed too great to be borne. Joan, who is just 6 years old, was born’ without hands or arms. Ap- parently she was doomed from the cradle to be a helpless cripple. But her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Whis- nant, were determined that she should escape that fate as far as humanly possible, and they ha taught her to do with her feet what other children do with their hands. As a result— Joan can write legibly, can eat from her own plate with her own knife and fork, can drink from her can turn the pages ooks, can cut out paper dolls, play with her toys, wash dishes, comb her hair and embroider very nicely with a needle and thread. Her first demonstration of dexter- ity with her toes came when as a small baby she kicked and played ith a rubber ball, hung over her cradle by a string. At the age of 4/ she was making marks with a pencil | held between her toes. Now she is going to school, and aside from the fact that she has a special desk she is treated there as a normal child. At home she insists on helping her mother with the housework. Her rents have declined all offers to ave the girl go into vaudeville, and insist she never will. “Joan has shown herself to be a normal child and not a curiosity,” says her mother. “We intend to edu- cate and treat her as such.” Contract Let for A.
