Author of book cited
Calder M. Pickett, professor o journalism, might have a best seller on his hands. Author of "Ed Howe: Country Town Philosopher," Pickett received an award of merit from the American Association of State and Local History for the biography.
The book was published by the University of Kansas Press, which was co-recipient of the honor.
"An excellent biography of a small town editor," was the reaction of Richard D. Williams, chairman of the awards committee and director of the Eleutherian Mills Historical Society, Wilmington, Del.
The association recognizes each year the state and local historical projects, agencies and publications which show superior achievement and quality in the United States and Canada. This is the 25th year the association has given awards.
CONVENIENCE FOOD STORES
ATLANTA (UPI) — Convenience food stores chalked up more than $2 billion in sales in 1968, according to a food chain executive.
"Even greater growth should he made by 1975," says Dillard Munford, president of Jackson-Atlantic, Inc., "and this seems quite feasible since more than half of the present stores are located in the South and South-west. The greatest gains in store openings in the past year have been in the North and East."
The association is a non-profit educational agency, comprising individual and organizational members, dedicated to advancing knowledge, understanding and appreciation of localized history in the United States and Canada.
It publishes "History News," bulletins, technical leaflets and other materials. It also carries on an educational program with national headquarters at Nashville.

Virus cases to reoccur
An increase in the number of flu and cold cases usually takes place at KU between Thanksgiving vacation and February and could be expected to occur this year. Dr. Raymond A. Schwegler, director of Watkins Hospital, said Tuesday.
Schweegler said he was appalled at students' lack of understanding of the basic causes of contamination. He said students could avoid contacting virus infections by forming good hygienic habits. He said students should avoid putting objects that might be contaminated, such as pens and pencils, in their mouths and they should take care to wash their hands properly, especially before eating.
