4 THE DAILY TIMESGAYETTE, Tuesday, June 1, 1985 WHITBY and DISTRICT Grand Union Carols Opens New Supermarket Tomorrow A fitting sign of Whitby's pros- perity in her | year, is the opening of the town's first su permarket, which takes place to- Worrow. Whitby residents who have been watching with interest and antici- pation the of the Gra Union Supermarket on Dundas East and Perry for the ast few months, will tomorrow Be able to shop in the mitra-mod- of his Su- customers will be given a free bag of groceries each, and on Thurs- day, the first 500 ladies to shop in the market will be given an orchid. Following this there will be five pries drawn for each week for the first ten weeks, These prizes include two television sets, and a 1955 Pontiac. The mart, which covers a space | the of 9400 square feet, has 6,400 square feet of selling space, which is neatly divided up, with the counters laid out in such a way as to permit shoppers fo pass through the market with the least possible difficuly. FOOD-O-MAT Toward this end, the store fes- nd | Food-o-Mat tures a new self-service Idea, which is exclusive to Grand Union Carrolls, the Food-o-mat. This is an ingenious device, which, while keeping the shelves stocked at all times, also insures that the pro duct on the counter is fresh, consists of a long counter built against one wall of the marketeria, divided into chan- nels, which slope down from about six feet at the back, to the normal counter level of about four feel at he front. The ¢ are loaded from the back, from bottom to , 80 that when an article is taken from the bottom of the slope the rest of the goods behind it slide , so that the article which was immediately behind the one lifted, slips down to take its place. With this arrangement, the at the front the counter are always fresh, aLl here is never an empty space on the counter. There are only twelve pines stores in the coutry equipped wi Food-o-Mat, all of them Grand Union Carolls markets. #0 FOOT COUNTER The meat counter is also the last word in hygiene and elficien. goods | retained locally.

Scott, vice - president and secretary- treasurer, it often takes several years before a new plant is able to get rid of costs naturally atten- dant on the organization of a new unit, such as the training of green help, 'proper operating of mach- ines, slowdowns and breakdowns due to new help or improper fit- ting of machines and the purchas- ing from the best sources of the best materials for each job.

He maintained | that as they left the Glen Eagles and made their way back to To- ronto, Jackie Long asked to stop at a washroom, They had stopped at the Bergmann Service Station, he said, at the suggestion of Thomas. He also denied that he had backed into the driveway but had instead driven ahead into the Jane. It was there, he said, that Thomas had sald, "This would be an easy place to knock off." "I did not belleve he was seri- ous," sald Austin, 'and even to- day I do not believe he was seri- ous. I have heard similar re- marks from respectable citizens." Then, he said, he got out of the car, leaving Thomas and Joyce Weir in the rear seat. Jackie Long, he sald, had already left the car. When he returned to the car, Jackie Long was back but Thomas and Weir were absent, Suddenly, he sald, the rear door of the car came open and the two got back in. Thomas, he said, ur} him to "get out of here." SEE ROAD B K It was not until he saw a road. block ahead that he began fo realize that the two had held the place up, he said.
