social security benefits was
lowered from 65 to 62 years.

Milk and Meat
Vote.d Best Buys
By Homemakers
Washington, D.C. What
foods do America's iebst-con-
scious homemakers choose
most often to stretch their
family food dollar?
A recent nationwide food
survey shows that, in the opin
ion of homemakers, milk and
meat head their list of foods
that give the most value for
their money. Thirty-two per
cent of the homemakers rated
milk as their No. 1 food buy
because of its combination of
high nutritive values and com
paratively low cost.
Meat was named as the best
food by 24 per cent of the
womenfolk, while 14 per cent
of the ladies chose bread.
The opinion survey was con
ducted for the Milk Industry
Foundation (an international
association of milk processors
and distributors headquarters
in Washington, D. C.) by the
Opinion Research corporation
of Princeton, N. J.
The survey also showed that
farm families drink more milk
than any other U. S. group.
They average 11 quarts a
week, while people in cities
of more than 100,000 popula
tion averaged nine quarts a
week. Milk drinking also, na
turally, is greater among fami
lies living in the North Cen
tral U. S. near the dairy
land states of Wisconsin and
Minnesota. Young families
and families whose income
exceed $5,000 per year also
drink more milk than the av
erage. And, curiously, people
who have milk delivered to
their doorsteps drink more
than people who buy milk at
the store (10 quarts a week
versus six, on the average).
Most people (50 per cent) buy
all their milk at the store; 38
per cent buy from their home
delivery salesman.
More than half (55 per cent)
of America's homemakers and
their husbands also say that
the price of milk is reason
able. Only 33 per cent said
milk prices are too high, but
only half of this group said
they are really concerned
about the price.
The U. S. public underesti
mates the price paid to farm
ers for a quart of milk, it was
reported in the survey. Forty
two per cent of those inter
viewed estimated the farmer's
share of a 25-cent quart of
milk to be 10 cents or less,
while 47 per cent have no
idea. A recent study of milk
distribution costs by an Indi
ana University professor
showed that farmers got 50
cents of the milk sales income
dollar received by . fluid milk
dealers, or more than 12 cents
a quart, in 1956. Milk dealers
spent about 12 cents for pro
cessing and distributing a
quart of milk and kept slight
ly more than one-half a cent
per quart for profit.

United Pre Women' Editor
New York OB Thirty top
New York designers today is
sued their "watch for" fore
cast for spring and summer.
My own observation is
"watch out." A season of sex
less fashions is with us.
Sure, for you men, there
will be more feminine gams
displayed, because skirts are
shorter than in many a sea
son, ranging 16 to 17 inchess
from the floor. But any male
watching for the demise of
the chemise, or gunnysack sil
houette, is in for a disappoint
ment. The sack will continue
its, loose ways right into
spring. The only curves left,
with few exceptions, are for
evening.
Intricate As Sputnik
"Loose fitting slimness,"
said the designers and manu
facturers of their daytime
fashions. "But don't call it a
1920's revival. This one is
strictly 1958, with hidden con
struction as intricate in its
way as the mechanism of the
rocket."
"And let's faceit," our fore
casters continued, "such psy
chology now propels fash
ions." Today was the first day of
week-long previews of the
new collections for benefit of
200 fashion and women's page
editors, radio and television
commentators. The shows are
held semi-annually by the
couture group of the New
York Dress Institute.
Fit for Any Figure
The designers do promise
enough variety in the loose
fitting but streamlined silhou
ette to fit any figure type. To
minimize hips, they offered
width at the top of the body
in the form of gathered back
yokes, full sleeves, school-girl
collars, high cowl necklines,
and bloused tops. Hemline
flares and tiers will be kind
to not-so-slim legs.
Some other highlights from
the "watch for" forecast:
A loose silhouette in suits,
with skirts either slim or
straight, or full and pleated,
many of the jackets with lea
ther belts;
Continued popularity for
the three-quarter length coat,
often in loud patterned fab
rics of spongy, loose-textured
fabrics;
A subtle, but , definite
widening of the shoulders,
with padding showing in some
collections, and deep armhole
and dramatic, wide collars in
others.
Cardigans Have
Lady-Like Look
By United Press
The Henry Hiezins cardi
gan, which Rex Harrison
popularized in the Broadway
play, "My Fair Lady," gets
a new lady-like look for
spring. Women's Wear daily,
a trade publication, says the
sweater will keep its low
pockets and v-neck. but will
be shorter and have new
three-quarter length raglan
sleeves.
Decorated Tumblers
Good for Parties
Kiddies seem to have as
much fun preparing for a
children's party as at the
party itself. -So, mothers, why
not give them the chance to
turn ordinary drinking tum
blers into comic characters
that dress up the party table.
It just takes paste, colored
paper, and imagination.
First paste a bright paper
completely around the tum
bler, then use contrasting pa
per for cut-outs of comic eyes,
elephant ears, walrus mus
taches, or bushy eyebrows.
After the party, the decora
tions can be removed by soak
ing the glasses in hot soap or
detergent suds.

Poet Carl Sandburg Berates
Youth, Poetry,
Flat Rock, N.C. (W Poet
Carl Sandburg, who will ob
serve his 80th birthday Mon
day, took the ocasion today
to berate modern youth, mod
ern poetry, modern advertis
ing and old-fashioned fear of
death.
Of youth, the white-maned
biographer of Lincoln said:
"Never has a generation
. . . been told by a more elab
orate system in the printed
word, billboards, newspapers,
magazines, radio, television
to eat more, play more,
have more fun."
He quoted Gen. Robert E.
Lee as telling a mother with
a child in her arms, "teach
him to deny himself."
"What ever Lee meant by
that is a teaching almost
never heard. The young don't
hear it," he said.
On poetry, Sandburg said,
"the modern poets prefer to
write about people like John
Donne, Dante and Henry
James. Lincoln, Wash
ington, Jackson, Jefferson,
Franklin, the sublime Ameri
can figures no."
He said, "when I published
my Chicago poems they (the
critics) said if Dante and Mil
ton had a right to write about
hell when they had never
been there, why hadn't I the
right to write about Chicago
where I had been."
Department of
Su rveys 1958
By JEANNE LESEM
United Press Correspondent
New York (IP) A chick
en in every pot and a great
er variety of frozen food on
our dinner tables this is the
market basket outlook for
1958.
The U.S. Department of Ag
riculture predicts we'll eat
a record amount of chicken
during the new year, partic-
ulary in broiler size.
The USDA added that re
tail prices possibly will V a
little higher than they were
in 1957.
Some price increases, the
department explained, will
be caused by a strong con
sumer demand for such foods
as beef and eggs, which are
expected to be in somewhat
shorter supply. Marketing
charges are also expected to
rise slightly, the department
added, causing some price in
creases at the retail level.
Catholic Sister
Has Army Grant
To Do Research
Washington PI Sister
Mary Howard of Notre Dame
probably is the only nun in
the world doing physics re
search under a grant from
the Army.
She is one of a small group
of students trying to unlock
the mystery of the molecular
structure of liquids. The stu
dents are at work in a base
ment laboratory at Catholic
University here. Associate
professor Theodore A. .Lit
ovitz is heading the project
financed by a grant from the
Army's office of ordinance re
search to carry on the project.
"We know the pattern of
the molecules in solids is reg
ular," Sister Mary Howard
explained. "The molecules in
the gases have no arrange
ment at all. When it comes
to defining their arrangement
in liquids, science can say
almost nothing definitely."
The sister and her co-workers
hope to "fingerprint" the
mysterious molecules by pas
sing ultrasonic waves through
various liquids.
Sister Mary Howard, a na
tive of Cleveland, will receive
her doctorate in physics this
year. She then will head the
physics department at Notre
Dame College in Cleveland.
Midwest Can Center
St. Paul (IP) Midwestern
ers are the most enthusiastic
home canners and freezers in
the nation. A survey by the
U. S. Department of Agricul
ture showed that about 55
per cent of the housewives in
the Midwest do some canning
or jelly making, and 20 per
cent do some freezing. The
national average is 44 and 18
per cent, respectively.

Sandburg said he has writ
ten a new poem called "In
structions for the tomb of
George Washington Hill."
He said over the tomb they
could carve the words of the
poem, "irritate 'em, irritate
'em, irritate 'em they can
forget the irritation and re
member the name of your
product."
As for death. Sandburg said
he believes "there's health in
nonsense of a certain kind."
He said he liked to remem
ber a passage from the jour
nal of Ralph Waldo Emerson
"when (Emerson) records the
fact that brother Charles . . .
went away. Emerson wrote,
'they took Charles away un
der restraint. They say it is
a taint in the blood but I
have no fear because I have
an element of silliness in
me.' "
Sandburg, who was born
in Galesburg, 111., January 6,
1878, came to Flat Rock in
1945 and bought the estate
of the late treasurer of the
confederacy, Christopher G.
Memminger. The handsome
ante-bellum home in which
he lives is called "Connema
ra." He writes here, breeds
goats, and sings . mountain
ballads accompanying him
self on a guitar.
Agriculture
Food Picture
More Turkey
As for specific food items:
Pork supplies are expected
to be larger, and beef and
veal supplies smaller.
If you like turkey as a year
round food as well as a spec
ial holiday treat, your chances
will come in 1958. Turkey
consumption is expected to be
second only to this year's rec
ord high, the USDA said.
Although chicken prices
will probably go no higher
than at present, eggs will cost
more, the department fore
cast, and even though high
er milk production is fore
seen retail prices of milk
and dairy products are ex
pected to show little change.
Fruits and vegetables will
be plentiful during the winter
and spring, the department
added, and apples, oranges
and grapefruit should be in
even greater supply than they
were during the same period
last year.
In the food freezer depart
ment, the Grocery Manufac
turers association predicts
more new soups, desserts and
meats, plus a bigger selection
of heat-and-eat plate dinners.
More Self-Service
Association President Paul
Willis also forecast continu
ing improvements in the qual
ity of packaged products.
"Manufacturers haven't al
together realized that the lit
tle woman counts the num
ber of pieces of beef in a can
of beef stew," he said. "But
management is becoming
much more sensitive to con
sumer desires and reactions.
They're trying to find out
what the housewife wants for
her family."
Willis declined tot estimate
how much the number of su
per markets could grow in
1958.
"The trend is, of course, to
ward more and more self
service," he said, and he sug
gested that there was room
for improvement in store
communication for customers.
He recommended a hostess
or information desk to direct
shoppers, and a suggestion
box for both satisfied and dis
satisfied customers.

Vorking Wives Keep
House in Good Order
According to Survey
Moscow. Idaho (IP) Dr.
Ruth R. Honey, a University
of Idaho alumnus doing re
search on home and family
life, reports that little differ
ence was found in the appear
ance of homes of employed ox
non-employed wives.
Of course, she pointed out,
working wives have a major
advantage. Their children, if
any, average older. Further
more, she found that working
wives use many shortcuts,
such as eliminating the iron
ing of sheets. Working wives
not only speed up work as
soon as they hit the front door
of their homes, she said, but
also speed up assistance from
their husbands.
Dr. Honey observed that
there are few twinges of con
science among city wives
about having their husbands
help with the housework. On
the other hand, she added,
"the farm wife didn't seem
to feel it was right to ask
her husband to help in the
house."
