We also pay considerably less than the national average for many home-grown foods; fruits, vegetables, fish and shellfish, dairy products and some meats. Farmers are raising more food this year; consumers are buying more food. Prices received by farmers are going down and costs of production are going up. Railroads recently have been granted their eleventh general increase in freight rates, making them now approximately 79 per cent higher than at the end of the war.

(U.R) Ver mont's admission to the Union in 1791 touched off an all-day celebration in this community. In that era of eloquent toasts, the occasion supplied a memor able one "The Union of Ver mont with the United States: May it flourish like our pines and continue as unshaken as our mountains." ( AMBITION REAlTzED Jackson, Miss. (U.R) As a boy 85-year-old Perry W. Ber ner had a burning ambition to make violins but grew up to be a railroad man instead. He re alized his dream after retiring 10 years ago and since has fash ioned 100 of the instruments. Washington (U.R) This li a story about a power lawn mower which ot out of hand. Benjamin Cain, an inter preter for the Navy depart m e n t, who lives behind the British em bassy, decided k,., jJt his yard was W a t-.M too big to be H A push-cut with Ol Si'iMiM an !d-fashion-Humoa Niche. d mower, so he decided to shop around for a power job. A friend of his said he knew where he could get one cheap right from the factory. This friend turned out to be on the cantankerous side; a practical Joker without peer. The mower was delivered to him in small pieces. There was a folder inside with instructions on how to assemble the machine; also material on how to crank it up, regulate the speed, operate the clutch and, most important, how to stop it. Mean Streak Got Meaner These things the friend tore up, and while he was ripping the papers his mean streak got mean er. He removed the seat from his kid's bicycle and pitched that into the heap of mower parts and repacked the mess. Then he delivered the box to Ben Cain, went back home and waited for the fun. On the other side of town, the unmechanically-minded Navy man was having a time for him self. After three days he called his friend to thank him for his kindness, but reported that there was one thing wrong. He had a part left over, which didn't fit any place. A bicycle seat. The friend told Cain that may be the mower would cut grass without a bicycle seat. Ben said he'd try. People Alarmed So he cranked up the mower and off with a roar It went. Peo ple became alarmed. The Brit ish embassy locked its back gate. Cain's two French poodles, Mimi and Shoes, fled In terror having no mind to get a clipping from a wild amateur. Mrs. Cain, who was watching from the window, put her hands over her eyes and uttered a sil ent one. Cain raced along, dodging flower beds, embassy back gates and his house. He didn't, of course, know how to stop the thing. Finally Out of Gas At length, the mower took a notion to negotiate several other lawns in the neighborhood and eventually found Massachusetts avenue. Ben Cain could do nothing but follow it through heavy rush hour traffic. Eventually, after several blocks, the mower sputtered to a halt, out of gas and Ben sputtered a sigh of Te-lief. Later he hired a truck to take the mower back home. He's decided to sell the mow er. Small boys, he's concluded, do a better job at less cost. MISSING NO BETS Hartford, Conn. (U.R) A youngster was concerned about his mother's health, but it didn't let that prevent him from grab bing an opportunity when he saw one. When the doctor called the druggist to order pills, the boy piped up: "While you're at it, doctor, order a quart of ice cream." HIII'I FASTER SERVICE TO S. F.
