This year taxes will lift $85 billion out of the nation's pocketbooks com pared to $58 billion that will be spent for food, He reminded us that $1 out of every $5 spent for groceries is for hidden taxes and went on to say that he is dead set against price controls on grocery items for these reasons: "It would be to the public interest to abolish controls, in that ceilings take all of the flexibility out of the mar ket. With certain items pegged so that he cannot raise prices regardless of the market, the merchant ' la prevented . from lowering prices on other pro ducts even If the market per mltted, because he must adhere to a certain percentage of mark up in order to stay in business, Mr. Willis, who represents more than 300 major manufac turers of well-known brands of grocery products, further stated that the grocery business is high ly competitive and that compe.

Watch lor straw; berry ' peaks" In your area. En joy grapefruit often. Sieve Versus Strainer Common casualty among home kitchen utensils is the strainer. When the wire mesh pulls off the frame it is a nuis ance and also a waste. The fault, household efficiency experts tell us, is neglect of an important rule; Use the right tool for the titlon alone would be enough to job. When a recipe says "Force Sunday, June S, 1952 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE KIRS througn a sieve," the housewife too often uses a strainer not made for the Job. To be sturdy enough to stand forcing or press ing, the wire mesh needs to be supported by crosswires. But better for this work are the food presses which are especially de signed for speedy, easy slevelng and for easy cleaning. Sweating Freeiers Beads of moisture or "sweat ing" around the outside opening of a home freezer in hot, humid weather may be a nuisance but do not indicate anything wrong, say household equipment special isti of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. If however, sweat ing occurs on sides and top of the freezer as well as around the opening, the owner has cause for concern and the dealer or manufacturer of the freezer should be notified. Plug Protection Turn off the appliance before pulling out the plug. This is the simple but important rule to prevent damage both to the plug on the electric cord and the con venience outlet In the wall. It holds for appliances large and small, from washing machines and vacuum cleaners to toasters and even to portable lamps. Breakfast Juices No need for monotony.

We'll concede - that it Is a powerful vegetable but we'll go only so far as to say that a little garlic has a lot of power when it comes to improving the flavor of ever so many good American foods and dishes. The Italians and cer tain other Europeans have held these opinions for centuries. Crush a clove of garlic in the bowl In which you toss potato salad. Remove the pieces with a fork, then add potatoes and other ingredients. Have garlic French rolls in stead of garlic bread. Cut the rolls In thin slices almost through the lower crust. Spread with Vt pound butter or mar garine with which one clove crushed garlic has been blended . When you cook stew, stick a toothpick through a garlic clove and drop in. It's easy to find and remove before serving. Prepare garlic butter as for bread and spread it over sizzling steaks or hamburgers as they come from the broiler. Crush a garlic clove In your casserole before adding Ingredi ents for spaghetti or macaroni casserole or for beef pie. When you roast a cut of lamb, cut slits in the fell and insert cut clove of garlic and crushed mint leaves. For beef, leave out the mint Crush garlic in salad oil and brush lamb chops, steaks or pat ties before broiling. When you prepare a spaghetti sauce, fry the chopped onions until tender, then add the gar lic. Garlic burns more quickly than onions. Crush garlic and blend with mayonnaise for making slaw or serving on vegetable salads or for serving with boiled fish. - Blend cream cheese with crushed garlic. Season with salt, p e p p'e r, Worcestershire and chopped chives or green onions. Serve as spread for appetizers or soup crackers or thin cream and serve as dip for potato chips.
