Roland -.Groder, extension fruit and vegetable marketing specialist at Oregon State, college, says this is how the list is made. The USDA keeps track of mar ket conditions in all the major markets. In Oregon, that's Port land. They give reports to in form not only marketing people but also the consumers so they can do best dollar-wise. The current best buys now In fruits are loose apples, small or anges and Arizona grapefruits, the specialist states. But tehre are also good supplies of packed apples, large oranges, lemons, avocados and Texas and Florida grapefruit. Listed in light sup ply are pears, grapes and pine apples. Best vegetable buys art local cabbage, cauliflower, root vege tables, onion, and potatoes. Those also in good supply are celery, parsnips, lettuce, peppers, rhu barb, spinach, winter squash, sweet potatoes, tomato e and bunch vegetables. Buying with the "best buys" in mind will give the most value for the food dollar, Mr. Groder says especially if quality, price and supplies in the local area are checked.

Interesting History Traced For Symbols of Eastertime Those gay bunnies and chicks that parade across our Easter greeting cards are older than they look. They have a history reaching back for many cen turies! ' Even the word "Easter" is an cient. It comes from Eostra, beautiful pagan goddess of spring once worshipped through out Europe. To delight children long ago, legend declares, Eostra magical ly changed her pet bird into our familiar Easter bunny. That's why Mr. Hippity - Hop builds bird's nests and lays colored eggs. Fluffy chicks and ducklings personify the breaking - forth of new life in the Springtime. The Greeks, Gauls, and Romans re garded the egg as the symbol of creation. The Egyptians hung ostrich eggs in their temples. According to Persian sun-worshippers, the world was hatched from an egg on the vernal equi nox or first day of Spring. So they celebrated their New Year's festival at a time corresponding to our Easter, exchanging the first dyed eggs in history as good luck charms. Early Christians consecrated eggs at Eastertime and stained them a deep red to symbolize the blood of Christ. During the Middle Ages, an Easter gift of colored eggs came to denote af fection. Nobility exchanged ar tificial eggs of silver, mother-of-pearl, or bronze. Easter gifts apparently cegan in the late 1400's. The "Privy Purse Expenses of Elizabeth of York" for 1502 record gratuities to the officers of the kitchen, saucery, and scullery "at Ester' (spelling correct). Later. En glish maidens recited a rhyme to their beloved on St. Valen tine's day, warning that in re sponse for their affections ". . .you must pay, a gift of gloves next Easter Day." But English swains took their revenge. Traveling In gay groups at Eastertime, they "lift ed" young ladies overhead three times in a beribboned chair, then demanded kisses all around as payment. The Easter sport for young sters was "shoe seizin." To win forfeits, little boys would steal the shoe-buckles of little girls or the whole shoe, if they were quick enough. The girls would snatch the boys' caps. Early English parsons lamented the inroads in their Sunday school attendance on Easter. Easter has always been a time for introducing spring fashions, whether in bonnets or bustles. The custom goes back to the spring processions of ancient Chi na, when richly-gowned man darins haughtily displayed their new robes. The American.- In dians also ceremoniously donned new apparel in the spring. The most characteristic of all Robert Taylor Named President Oak Grove PTA Oak Grove Robert C.

MAIN and BARTLETT STREETS Eastern customs, of course, are the colorful church services. Sur pliced choirs sing, and the special music of Holy Week rises to its climax in the resounding ho sannahs of Easter morning. Early Christians worshipped in secret, without music ;or pag eantry, to avoid Roman perse cution. At Eastertime, on the walls of -the -catacombs, they drew crosses adorned with flow ers. This cross-with-flowers symbol is still one of the most popular designs on present-day Easter greeting cards. Comparatively speaking, East er cards are probably the most recent of all our Easter customs. They first appeared in Northern Germany about 1850, migrating to America around 1880. Reli ous scenes, then as now, were the most popular illustrations; In recent years, light-hearted greetings with surprisingly ani mated Easter bunnies, clucks, ducklings and many others just like them have captured America's fancy. more feminine intrigue the most beautiful look of Spring Reve nescence ROBS TIME OF ITS TRADEMARK o The unique preparation that replenishes the moisture time takes away from your skin.
