Behind counter of his flagship Diana Sweets stores, company president George Boukydis ponders the future of his $6 million a year enterprise. Stores stopped selling candy some years ago when firm's key candy maker retired after 45 years of service. An adequate replacement was not found and now, says Boukydis, it's getting tough to find pastry cooks. The supermarkets are stealing what few there are left.

Guy's general school question book : in which each question, in a regular series, is followed by its appropriate answer; not only in ancient and modern history, in which the whole is arranged in chronological order, but also in biography, geography, astronomy, heathen mythology, classical phraseology, and a great and interesting variety of miscellaneous subjects: the whole tending to enlarge the boundaries of juvenile knowledge by increasing its stores; and thus, by blending such a course of general information with sound classical or liberal learning, to raise a better superstructure of school education
