these important items should re

if your family is the fortunate

since economical quantity buy

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. Marketings of cat-

tie, hogs, and poultry are sea
sonally heavy at that time; and
this bunching of supplies should
result in price concessions over
retail counters. 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! Just a thought to use when
trading for an automobile: Tell

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."
