A bonanza of good aating at low cost because poul try production is almost 50 per cent higher than a year ago. The family can really have their fill of fried chicken without any damage to the budget. While you're about it, why not fry a double batch of chicken; put aside half of it for enjoying cold a day or two later. Cold fried chicken with bread and butter sandwiches goes a long way to ward making a fine meal whether served at home or car ried to school or to work. Fresh or frozen, whether pur chased whole or in spare parts, these plentiful birds can be broiled, fried, baked, barbecued.

Treasonably priced bacon along with a couple of eggs will send Father to work and growing children to school far better fortified to fight the daily battles. Meat prices continue low for economy cuts; reasonable for steaks, chops and roasts. Beef bargains are found in freshly ground beef for the making of hamburgers, meat loaves, Swed ish meat balls, spaghetti with meat and other good things. Cuts for pot roasting are many and low in cost; practically make a meal when potatoes, carrots and onions are added during the last 30 minutes of long slow cooking. Short ribs are a bar gain; very good cooked IVi to two hours in a barbecue sauce, either on very low heat or in a moderate oven. Lamb is plsnti ful. Consider lamb shoulder, lamb shanks, lamb patties or lamb curry. Fish variety is good with spe cial emphasis on new season sea bass, rockfish, halibut, trout and shrimp. If fresh shad is avail able in your market, have fish man bone it for you and prepare for fish treat of the season. Plenty of lemons on hand, of course. Vegetable and fruit supplies are about the same. More aspara gus coming in. More new pota toes in both red and white skins. Asparagus and new potatoes arc perfect for serving with those plentiful fryers and broilers. Snowy white cauliflower looks good. Cabbage, carrots, yellow onions of medium size, lettuce, small artichokes and cucumbers make menu planning easy. Fruit buys are apples, bananas, dates, grapefruit, oranges and pineapples. Small Platform Could Be Airport of Future New York U.R) A steel plat form a few hundred yards square that can be located near the heart of a city could well become the airport of the future. Steelways, official publica tion of American Iron and Steel Institute, said that most of the scientific developments which point toward this change are centered in the military services, but the day of their civilian ap plication is approaching. The publication said that the aircraft industry, its engineers and designers, can foresee the day when the long trip to the airport will become passe as giant airliners may be landing and taking off only a few min utes from one's home or office. Such planes as the Navy's "Pogo Stick," which lands and takes off vertically, have teen successfully test-flown, and the true convertiplane, which changes from a helicopter to a conventional aircraft at will, is now at hand. Jet engines are be ing designed which provide a reverse jet blast on landing, just as propellers on today's trans ports reverse themselves to pro vide braking action. Steelways said these revolu tionary changes also will benefit residents of small cities and towns which cannot afford the millions of dollars required to build the huge runway and ter minal facilities needed by to day's airliners.

Two giant Great Lake freighters col lided head-on in the St. Clair river Thursday, sinking one and disabling the other. Coast Guard officials could give no explanation for the crash which sunk the heavily laden 504-foot ore carrier A. M. Byers to its main deck in 17 minutes. The 406-foot cement boat E. M. Ford was knocked out of commission and tied up at nearby Russell Island. The crash happened in river flats off Harson's Island about 30 miles northeast of Detroit. The sunken freighter blocked traffic on the river that links Lake Huron on the north with Lake St. Clair. The river is the boundary between St. Clair County, Mich., and the Canadian province of Ontario. A lookout on the 6,000 ton up bound Ford was the only casu alty. Mike Wenta was hospital ized in nearby Mt. Clements, Mich., with head, back and chest injuries. The 30-man crew of the Byers was transferred safely in lifeboats to the Ford.

He brushed aside re porters' questions on his recent setback in the New Jersey pri mary. He reiterated his determin ation that, so far as he was con cerned, President Eisenhower's health would not be made a po litical issue. Asked about the designation of "part-time Pres ident" being used in some pol itical circles about Mr. Eisen hower, he replied: "I am taking the word of Mr. Eisenhower's doctors that the President is in good health. As far as I am concerned his health will not be an issue."

The old record, that Bailie exceeded by five hours, was held by Steve Sorenson of KSPO in Spokane. Local Preparation For Disasters Urged Chicago (U.R)-r "If every hos pital in the nation prepares ad equately, for local disasters, the problem of preparing for disas ter, of national scope is reduced considerably." Dr. Harold Lueth, chairman of the American Hospital associa tion's committee on disaster plan ning, said this in a newly pub lished handbook "Principles of Disaster Planning for Hospitals." "In disasters of any magni tude, people instinctively turn to hospitals for help. The disaster's impact on the community's med ical resources is immediate and demanding, whether or not they are prepared to care for mass casualties," Dr. Lueth wrote. "A hospital cannont do its best job of saving lives unless the community has established a practical disaster plan for other agencies; such as police, civil de fense, fire departments ... A hospital's disaster plan is not complete until it has been 'in tegrated with an over-all com munity disaster plan." Calcite, Mich., is the world's leading port for shipment of limestone.
