Babson Discusses Better Buying Times WW By Roger W. Babson Babson Park, Mass., June 23 (Special t o Mail-Tribune Knowing there are a number of American housewives who read this column. perhaps a tew money - saving hints on house h o 1 d buying may come in handy at this time of year. Meat and poultry a c count for a large part of the food budget 0 f most fam ilies. Intelligent purchasing of these important items should re sult in substantial cash savings during the course of a year. Es pecially should this been true if your family is the fortunate possessor of a deep freeze unit, since economical quantity buy ing is not feasible without ade quate cold storage space. I strongly recommend that you invest in a deep freeze unit, if you do not already own one. This is not the time to stock up on meat or even poultry. Normally these should be on the bargain counter in the late fall or early winter, say November or December.

The best grades of heavy steer beef, however, usually do not come on the mar ket in quantity until late winter or early spring. Eggs and Dairy Product! Found Beit Buys In Spring The modern healthy hen can produce a surprising number of eggs during a year. But in March, April and May she really settles down to business, with an output unequalled in size and quality in any other three-month period. As a result of this pres sure of supplies, egg prices us ually are at their seasonal low point during the spring. Spring eggs also have excellent storage characteristics. Eggs, however, are now a purchase in many sec tions where laying has been a little late this year. Prices of dairy products are rather closely related to the milk flow, which is at its seasonal peak around June. If you have storage facilities, June or July normally is the best time to buy butter, since the market at that time should reflect heavy pro duction. There is a time lag in cheese, however; best buying op portunities appear to be in No vember, since good cheese must be well cured. Evaporated milk is likely to be less expensive in June or July, owing to season ally heavy output. Seasonal Factors Important In Prices of Hard Liquid Fuels Seasonal factors also play an important part as price determ inants of both hard and liquid fuels. In normal times, it is the practice of the anthracite pro ducers to cut prices in April, as an inducement to customers to fill their bins during the sum mer period of slack consump tion. You should take advantage of these summer price cuts when available. You thereby will save money and also help to smooth out the industry's production curve. Heavy stocks and lack of demand often result in August or September price concessions on bituminous coal. The petroleum industry is so vast and the interplay of price making factors is so intricate that it is extremely difficult to forecast very far in advance the best buying times for oil prod ucts. However, pressure of mounting refiners' stocks, low demand, and intensive competi tion frequently result in price cuts in fuel oil and kerosene during the summer months. Gas oline prices, however, will us ually be lowest in December or January, when refiners' stocks are rising seasonally and total consumption is at relatively low levels. Canned Salmon Usually Cheapest in September Here are the seasonally best buying trends for a few other items Try your luck on canned peas in June, canned corn in July, and canned tomatoes in August. Canned salmon usually is cheapest in September. Shop for bargains in dry beans in November and December, and lay in your supply of potatoes in the fall, when prices normal ly are at seasonal lows. Rice and flour usually are good buys in August or September, lard in December, and citrus fruits in January or early February. Also do not neglect January "white sales," which usually of fer real bargains in soft goods. Keep in mind the February furn iturcfcales, the August fur sales and the clearance sales of sum mer goods. Remember, too, that nothing is a bargain if you can not afford it or if it lacks qual ity!

The previous saturation point came in 1940 when there was one car for about every five of population. My guess is that next January may be a good time to buy an automobile.

Game Commission Issues Warning Against Raising Fawns as Pets Portland, Ore., June 23 U.R) A "Pet Deer" recently attack ed three children near St. Hel ens, the state game commission said today in warning residents against rearing of fawns as gen tle pets. Wayne Young, game commis sion agent, disposed of the un ruly deer. He said the doe first trailed a five-year-old boy in a wooded area, reared at him and struck him down. An older brother, at tracted by the boy's screams, hurled a staff at the deer and drove it off. Shortly afterwards, the same doe struck at two other children who approached it. Buck Stands Ground In another deer encounter, Willamette valley game agents had to pick up a captive buck that had been bottle-fed from a tiny fawn by its owner. When approached in its enclosure, the enraged deer defied two agents with slashing hooves and antlers before it could be hauled away for release in the Tillamook Burn. When freed, the buck stood its ground, ready to at tack the first man that left the truck. t "Actions such as this are typi cal of 'civilized' deer and should serve as warning to people with ideas of rearing fawns as pets," Robert Mace, chief of big game for the commission, said. "It's due to a deer's natural aggres siveness. Once a captive deer loses its fear of man, it can no longer be considered gentle." .Fawns Retrieved Mace said state police and game agents were retrieving fawns picked up by "sympathet ic individuals suffering from the illusion that each tiny fawn ly-abandoned." "Doe deer leave their fawns Friday.

Doctors said the girl was "do ing nicely" and declined to re veal her name or the name of the hospital where the baby was born about noon yesterday. The mother was believed the youngest ever to give birth to a child in Nebraska. Physicians said the birth was "completely normal." The baby weighed s i x pounds, eight ounces. They said the Infant probably in hiding during the first two or three weeks, returning at fre quent intervals so that the fawn may suckle," he said. "It Is against the law to hold these baby deer in captivity." will be placed for adoption. The young mother had been at the hospital for several weeks, doctors said.
