How to freeze
the rising cost
of living
An electric freezer is like having your own
super market right in your home! You can buy
seasonal specials when prices are low; store
them in your freezer and serve later when the
same food may cost twice as much. It's easy
to freeze fruits and vegetables, too. No mess.
And you always keep that wonderful garden
fresh flavor. It's mighty handy when unex
pected guests arrive because you'll always
have extra food available.
Yet an electric freezer costs only pennies
a day to operate, thanks to (ow-cost rural
electric power.
ELECTRIC FREEZER
Take advantage of low summer prlcts on many
foods and meats. Store them In your electric
freezer or refrigerator-freezer and serve later. An

Miniature Loaves
Of Bread Used
For Parily Plea
To dtamatUe the plight of the
wheat producer and the need
for federal leglalatlon providing
iur of parity, the Oregon
Wheat Growers League lant
werk sent miniature loaves of
bread to the four Oregon run-grrssmen.
The bread loaves, which wrre
accompanlctt by a study report
outlining the current farm sit
uation, carried wrapi-rs deplet
ing the breakdown between pro
ducer and processing shares of
bread prtcca.
Both the wrappers and the at-
tachei material, which was
based on a recent Csrrgon State
I'nlversity study, pointed out
that the farmer's return on i
loaf of bread has actually de
cllned since 1UI.H. Inning the
same terlod. It was chargetl. re
tall bread prices have Increased
by U per cent.
The Wheat League said that
in liMS a bread price of 12.7
cents yielded 10 cents to proccs
sors and only 27 rents to the
produi-er. By I'Jti the price of
bread had risen to 20.7 cents,
but the farmer's share had de
cllned to 2 5 cents while rroc
sors received 182 cents per loaf.
The farm body warned that
lobbyists for the bread proccs
sors are endeavoring to defeat
the current House bill which
would provide 100 of parity to
growers, it lableed claims that
passage of the bill would raise
bread prloes by 2 cents aa "un
true."
The Proposal will raise the
wheat value of the loaf by ap
proximately .7 of one cent," the
Wheat League contends. "It It
surprising to note the concern of
the processor regarding this

The report contained craphs
