$4.28 Worth of Food Found
Suitable for Two for Week
Vashincton(U.R) The Agri
culture Department said today
that a young couple can get
along fine on $4.28 worth of
food per person per week.
This average food budget fig
ure, which works out at about
20 cents a meal, was supplied
bv nutritional experts at the
Utah Experiment Station.
The experts conducted a three-
week diet research project with
a young college couple perform
ing the eating roles voluntarily
in the interest of science. The
couple finished the project in
good health and with no loss
of weight.
The $4.28 was parcelled out
this way:
Milk and cheese, 83 cents;
eggs, 22 cents; potatoes, four
cents; leafy green and yellow
vegetables, 33 cents; citrus fruits
and tomatoes, 16 cents; other
fruit and vegetables, 55 cents;
meat, fish, and poultry, 66 cents,
dry beans, peas, and nuts, 22
cents; baked goods, flour, and
cereals, 61 cents; fats and oils,
35 cents; sugar, syrup, preserves,
25 cents; condiments and spices,
five cents. ,
During the three weeks the
couple bought nine quarts of
homogenized milk and enough
dry milk solids to make 21
quarts of skim milk. The 15 per
cent of the food dollar that went
for meat and fish bought 2Vfe
pounds of ground beef, eight
ounces of frankfurters, 12 ounces
of yellowtail (fish), two pounds
of frozen fish, three pounds of
chuck roast, and 11 ounces of
liver.
The nutritionists said that
from an ideal standpoint the diet
was short in green and leafy
vegetables and in meat, fish, and
poultry. But the whole milk,
butter, margarine, and yellow
fruits consumed by the couple
made up the vitamin A that a
larger amount of greens would
have provided. And by using
milk, cheese, peanut butter,
eggs, and beans, in addition to

Shoemaker Answers
SI 6,000 Question on
Television Quiz Show
New York (U.R) Gino Prato,
the little shoemaker from the
Bronx who nailed down $16,000
on CBS-TV's S64,000 question,
found himself besieged today by
autograph hounds, well-wishers
and a sandpaper throat.
Shaky but smiling after wad
ing through a four-part question
in his category, opera, the Italian-born
Prato confessed that he
had reached celebrity status in
his neighborhood.
Autograph Sought
"People are calling me I never
heard from before. Customers
are asking me to autograph the
roles of their shoes," he said in
a hoarse voice. "But I'm so ner
vous I'm smoking more than two
packs of cigarettes a day."
"The 55-year-old Prato refused
to say whether he would go on
and try for $32,000 next week.
"I prayed all last week." he
whispered. "I spent an hour
and a half in St. Patrick's Ca
thedral praying the day of the
show. And I'll be back in the
cathedral again next Tuesday."
In direct contrast to the ner
vous little cobbler was another
opera lover, Bayard MacMichael,
who ran his string to $8,000.
MacMichael, who grew up in
Seattle but now works in New
York as a sales representative
for a brush company, took his
win almost casually. He left im
mediately after the show for a
business meeting at his firm's
headquarters in Wooster, O.
MacMichael correctly answer
ed a question dealing with three
operas Giuseppe Verdi had writ
ten on plays of Shakespeare.
They were "Falstaff," "Othello"
and "MacBeth."
Prato's four-pronged query
dealt with an unfinished Puccini
cpera. He named it ("Turn
adot"), the man who finished it
(Franco Alfano), the year of its
premiere (1926) and the place
of its premiere (La Scala Opera
House in Milan, Italy.)
There was at least one indi
cation, however, that Prato
might throw in the sponge. Back
stage after the show, Wendy Bar
rie, who does the commercials
on the show, advised Prato:
"Take the $16,000 and go. You
can't drive to Italy in a Cadil
lac." The reference was to the
consolation prize that Prato will
receive if he muffs his next
question.
Prato nodded solemnly and
said in his gravel voice: "I know.
I've been thinking hard about
it."
