In Greece, delicious canapes
are made of rice and meat wrap
ped in spiced grape leaves.
In any list of all - time
favorite dinnerware pat
terns, "Napoleon Ivy" by
Wedgwood would surely
rate a top spot. It was a
good design when Napo
leon used it at St. Helena
in 1815, and it's a good
design today. The crisp
wreath of ivy leaves on a
white background is per
ennially refreshing and
appealing and of course
Wedgwood quality has
long been a standard of
excellence.
Even if your fingers are
all thumbs, a Reynolds
floral arranger will help
you make an endless va
riety of really artistic bou
quets. Easy-to-follow dia
grams tell you just how
long to cut stems, just
how to place each bloom
for maximum effect. Fun
to own and a happy gift
idea for gardening
friends.

Extension Specialist
Gives Hints on Hosiery
Probably no other item in a
woman's wardrobe needs such
care as hosiery. Here are some
tips that can save money as well
as a lot of irritation. They're
suggested by Miss Lucy Lane,
extension clothing specialist at
Oregon State college.
Keep stockings in a smooth
container, with each pair sepa
rate, instead of tumbling them
together in a drawer. You may
want to use smooth-lined hosiery
boxes, which ' are for sale, to
avoid catching the stockings on
rough wood or something else in
the drawer.
Rinse new stockings before
wearing, and wash them after
each day's wear. This helps keep
them in shape, and prevents pos
sible damage from perspiration.
Worn shoe linings, rough edges
on shoes or shoe buckles, or even
rough calluses on the feet can
catch and snag hose. Just now,
starchy petticoats and stiffened
underskirts are in fashion, but
they too can play havoc with
hose. Watch for and try to
eliminate such dangers. For in
stance, a little sandpapering or
waxing of a rough chair or table
leg may save money.
If you find a snag in a stock
ing, pull it inside where it's less
likely to catch and pull. Some
times you can halt a tiny hole by
mending it with yarn raveled
from a worn stocking. So, Miss
Lane suggests, keep a few ravel
ings rolled on a spool in your
mending drawer.

Grocery Manufacturers
Employ Many Scientists
In Research on Foods
In one year, 1951, grocery
manufacturers employed 6400
research scientists and auxiliary
personnel to find ways to im
prove food products and methods
of processing according to Gro
cery Manufacturers of America,
Inc. Approximately $38,000,000
was spent for the development
of new and improved food and
grocery products.
Research in food product de
velopment has shown rapid
strides during the past 20 years,
the association stated. In 1930
only about 500 people were en
gaged in this type of research
work.
"The keen competition engen
dered by the depression touched
off a campaign to find new prod
ucts, better methods of produc
tion, and economy of operation,"
declared Paul S. Willis, presi
dent of the association. "Now re
search laboratories are consider
ed a vital department of every
grocery manufacturing company.
The result is new. products,
greater variety of products and
a continuing stepping up of
standards."
Mr. Willis said that there is
usually a lag of several years be
tween the time a new product is
developed and the time it is of
fered to the homemaker. The
reason is the long series of steps
"necessary in the planning stages;
the testing and re-testing under,
a variety of conditions; the
recipe development in company
kitchens; testing in home kitch
ens and, finally, consumer tests
in selected towns or areas.

Gather Material
For Monthly Index
New York (U.R) Around her
office on the west side of Man
hattan, they call her "cost of liv
ing" Woodwprth. Her pretty
head Is fuller of statistics than
a calculating machine.
Mrs. John K. Wood worth Is
one of the 400 full-time workers
of the TJ. S. Labor Department,
bureau of labor statistics, who
help compile the national cost-of-living
monthly index.
The index, as defined by the
bureau, is the measuring stick
for the rise and fall of retail
prices. To the housewife, it's the
latest news about where her
food, clothing and shelter dol
lars are going. To Lynn Wood
worth, it also represents at least
10 miles of walking a day, in
volving calls on as many as 10
stores department stores,
butcher shops, chain stores, the
small grocery, the local appli
ance store and the beauty shop.
"We check everything which
affects the family's budget,"
Mrs. Woodworth explained.
Continent Covered
The bureau depends also on a
staff of part-time workers who
concentrate on gathering food
prices. Most of them are hous
wives, scattered across the na
tion, who are earning extra
money by working about one
week out of each month.
The workers sample prices in
56 cities, ranging from the na
tion's largest to towns of 2,500
population, such as Sand Point,
Idaho.
Standard equipment for each
researcher is a list of commodi
ties, usually around 200, to be
checked. In the food department
alone, they include cereals,
meat, dairy products, eggs, fruit
and vegetables, fats and oils. .
If the researcher's job also is
to check other prices, she will
look into the cost of Dad's over
coat, Mom's hat, the price of
shoe repair, rent, dry cleaning,
towels, brooms, cosmetics, and
even the admission to the local
movie house. .
Housewives Know
"Housewives are the ideal
price researchers," said Miss
Helen F. Callahan, regional
price economist for New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Delaware.
"Lone vears of buvina for her
own family make the home-mak
er more price conscious than
anybody I know," she explained.
Price researchers can't 'afford
to make mistakes.
"An error here and there,"
the price economist explained,
