I Right now, there are supermarkets with nursery playrooms, snack shops, shopper lounges with upholstered seats, tropical fish tanks and bird houses to amuse the kids, and singing weather forecasts. * The supermarket allegedly began * in 1930 in an abandoned garage in 1 Now York City One of the early 5 ones was called Helpy-Selfy. Across the country, the things have sprouted so many interior departments that they seem like an inflated edition of the oldfashioned country general store. The only thing that’s lacking is a pot-bellied stove for philosophers to sit around. One supermarket in Canada, with a country store air, even has a big bulletin board for customer use. It's filled with all kinds of notices about such things as what baby sitters are available, who looking for whom, and what's on at the local movie. \ / There are supermarkets with booths at which you can pay your utility bills, buy automobile plates and hunting and fishing licenses, and even make deposits and withdrawals from the local bank. This last is on the word of Paul Sayres, a food broker, who makes

i frequent tripe to marketing areas i across the country. A supermarket turhed up in New ■ Jersey, not long ago, selling fine art along with its vegetables,meats - and insecticides. Another Jersey , super-dooper has an underground i conveyer. Milady parks her car, i goes inside and shops, gets a re- ■ ceipt with a number on it, walks ■ unburdened back to the car, drives to a central station and gets her i groceries delivered to the car by i the conveyor- I Despite devices like this—which eliminate the shopping cart from 1 the aisles—Sayres says a big problem of supermarkets now is traffic ■ jams in the aisles. Some of this is due to bewildered wandering by customers in a mass of shelving and aisles. Gordon Lippincott and WaHCf Margulies, industrial designers who do a lot of work with super- ; markets, say one remedy is to , make each department an entity—for instance, make the meat de- ' partment look like an old-fashioned ' butcher's. Some markets have murals. cutouts and mobiles with ref productions that identify departt ments. But Sayres believes traffic con- ; trol has to come. He envisions the , housewife going to a special coun- ■ ter and checking out a motorized shopping car equipped with bumpers and a special seat for juniorplus a store map so she can steer

A car driven by Joseph Rogers, 41, of Convoy, Ohio, was traveling to the left of -the center lane, and the approaching car, driven by Robert Klinger, 19, of Van Wert, in an attempt to avoid the collision, swerved out far to the left of the center lane on the side of the road, and the two sideswiped. Rogers’ car continued for 222 feet across the left side of the highway, and landed against a fence on a farm owned by Robert Ulman. As the cars collided, the Klinger vehicle went l into a complete twist, and landed against'a fence on the south side of the road, 45 feet from the point of impact.
