- 2 MAIL TRIBUNE, MedrorJ, Or.. WtJneiday, Augutt 13, 1958 Planning Before Shopping Will Save Food Dollars Corvallis You can save your family food budget dol lars every week by planning before you shop, advise exten sion specialists at Oregon State college. Saving a few cents on an item may seem insignificant, but in time it adds into dol lars. According to Zelma Reigle, OSC consumer mar keting specialist, on the aver age one-fourth of the family income, after taxes, is spent for food. Many families, she belives, could whittle the food budget with some of these money saving practices. Learn to spot a real bar gain. Mark-ups vary on food within a store. Some items are known as "footballs" because they are sold at cost or less to lure customers into the store. Most common "footballs" are canned peaches, applesauce, tomato juice, frozen orange juice, shortening, smoked hams, baby food, sugar, evap orated milk and tomato soup. Buy foods in-season and plan meals around them. It pays if families with freezers stock up on food "specials" such as meat or frozen foods. Price differences between egg sizes also vary at certain times during the year. Sometimes small eggs are better buys than large. Shoppers may ob tain free egg buying guides at local county extension offices. Save on meat purchases; buy less popular cuts. Short ribs, shank end of ham, shoul der cuts, beef chuck and va riety meats, are often lower priced than more popular steaks, ch?os and roasts, she notes. Buy food for intended use. Imperfect apples make tasty pies and sauce, and are cheap er than top quality, showy apples. Tomatoes for juice or catsup, and fruit for jams and jellies need not be top quality. Rad labels, compare ingredi ents and price per pound with cost per serving. Compare prices among fresh, frozen and canned foods. At certain times some vegetables and fruits are cheaper canned than frozen, and some frozen are cheaper than fresh. Consider the cost of con venience, shoppers are re minded. Many prepared foods cost more than the cost of in gredients. Shoppers often pay premium prices for conven ience and time saved. Some mixes, such as cake and bis cuit, are cheaper to buy than to make the baked goods from "scratch." Salad dressings are usually cheaper made at home. Plan a flexible shopping list before you shop. Main tain an "up-to-date" shopping list handy in the kitchen. Build the list around meat, fish, poultry, dairy foods, fruits, vegetables, bakery items and staples. Avoid at-home waste. If only 5 cents is wasted at every meal, S54.75 is thrown away every year. Miss Reigle points out. Cook all "protein" foods eggs, cheese, meat and poultry at low temperatures. Plan tempting ways to use leftovers while they're still fresh. Hungarian Teen Ager Now Star of American Movie United Prtis International Vienna (LTD After the Hungarian revolution of 1956, teenager Barbara Von Rady was selling home-made cakes on the streets of Budapest to stay alive. Hers is a fairly typical story of Hungary under Commu nism a keen, pretty daugh ter of aristocracy who was tossed out of school at 14, sent to work as a maid, and left jobless and hopeless after the October revolt. Like thousands of others she fled to the west. Now she is on the road to tortune. And she is winning her way to fame by portray ing the plight of the homeland she left behind in movies. Barbara, 19, now plays a leading role in "The Journey," a story set against the back ground of the 1956 uprising she herself lived through. Yen For Acting ' The movie tells the harrow ing story of a group of west ern air passengers stranded in Budapest during the revolu tion who finally make their way in a bus across Soviet controlled territory ' to the freedom of the Austrian bor der. Bori (as she is known to her friends) plays the role of a Hungarian innkeeper's daughter who lodges the flee ing group for a night. Bori in the short span of months she's been in the west already has built up an im pressive showing in German films although she spoke no German when she escaped. For Bori, the theater has always been her first love. "I wanted to become an actress ever since I was five years old," she said. I n Communist Hungary, Bori's aristocratic background automatically meant she had to leave school at 14. She became the maid of a Hungarian opera singer. Then came the revolution ... Job As Extra Removed from her job, she' sold home-made cakes to keep alive. Finally she fled Hungary only to end up interned in an Austrian refugee camp. After two dreary months in the camp, Bori got a job as an extra in a Vienna studio. Picked out by a German producer, Bori almost lost the chance to go to Munich in West Germany for an audi tion because her papers were not in order. After a maddening wait in different government offices, Group Here For Festiva A group of eight women from Portland are in the val ley this week to attend the plays of the Oregon Shake spearean festival in Ashland. The trip here for the plays is an annual event for most of the women. Here are Mrs. Dorothy Reed, Mrs. Ruth Kennedy, Mrs. Freida Cowling, Miss Geraldine Sargent. Miss Alma H. Peterson, Mrs. O. R. Maris. Miss Marguerite Butler and Mrs. Anne Robinson. Mrs. Reed works in the public relations field, Mrs. Kennedy is the arts and skills director for the Portland Red Cross and Miss Sargent, who recently retired from a posi tion as an adjudicator with the Veterans Administration will now work as an extension officer of Altrusa Internation al. Mrs. Cowling is women's editor of the Oregonian, and Miss Butler recently retired from her work with the Port land Gas and Electric com pany. Mrs. Robinson was formerly executive director for the American Cancer society in Portland. Miss Peterson, who has been with the Oregon Depart ment of Public Health, will leave next week for Minne sota where she will work as a public health nurse consult ant for St. Olaf s college. Miss Peterson was in Jackson coun ty for six weeks last winter carrying on a program of hearing conservation in the county schools.

Her first film "Meine Mamma" made her famous in German- speaking countries. Even if American movie srner eive her the vote of con fidence she's already won from her American co-stars in "Thp Journev." Bori still will have a major obstacle before Hollywood can use her: Slip sneaks no English. For her part in "The Journey" she learned the English words by rote.

Here are a few unrelated irrelevant instances. In the big central railway station there are no seats or benches for the waiting trav eler. On the other hand, in the main post office there are chairs and tables where you may write letters, and there are public stenographers who will write letters for you. The post office is open 24 hours a day. You may send telegrams at night or make long distance calls. It is not necessary to go to the central office for stamps, however. All over the city are little tobacco shops which sell them. There are four mail deliveries a day. (Mail from Oregon often comes in three days and is delivered). Besides cigarettes, in the "tobacchi" shops, you may buy salt. The reason being that all three items, stamps, tobacco and salt, are government monopolies. This makes them expensive and you wonder how -Italians with their small salaries can afford to smoke at all. This explains their buying two or three cig arettes at a time. The cheap est cigarettes sell for about 50 cents. Policemen are more color ful than in the States, they are also more numerous. The traffic policeman is my favor ite. He wears white helmet, suit and gloves, and helps me cross streets. A delightful mo ment in my day is to have him blow his whistle, and to hear a dozen little cars come screeching to a fast halt when they see him and for me to saunter across. It makes up for the many times I scurry to avoid their hitting their target. American drivers are so slow and careful and have a certain regard for human life, not evidenced here. Al though I -have not been tola this. I think Italians make a game of seeing how fast they can come and how close to the pedestrian without actual ly mowing him down, Then there is the elegant caratrinieri, to be seen stroll ing in pairs, looking hand some in their uniform's of black with tail coats, red striped ' trousers, 'three cor nered hats and swords.. I am inclined to believe that looks enter into the selection of this group as they are always tall dark, young and ! attractive and make a pretty:'.picture as they stroll up and down the Via Veneto, in step. The green suited policeman is the state police. Then there is the riot squad. There is an other kind of uniform for those who attend the operas and concerts.

R. intrigues me because, having first heard it in his play, I connect it with Shakespeare, Senate Populus Quirinal of Rome. The municpal police have the insignia on their badges (SP QR is also on all park signs, on city trams and in the pave ments). Another force is the "Vigilante Noturna" black uniformed, night officers who go about on bicycles with lan terns, trying doors and win dows of their clients. The curi ous thing about these various divisions is that they do not interfere with one another's job. Someone could beat up a squad officer but unless he did it going through a red light, the traffic officer would not feel responsible. The Catholic church owns many of the motion picture theaters in Rome. These are often next door to a church and cost, at most, 24 cents. Many American pictures are shown and it is astonishing to see Van Johnson or Joan Crawford, for example, and hear, foreign voices spouting from them. It is not necessary to wear hats in Catholic churches here or any where in Italy. Girls however must have their arms covered. I saw a guard send two Americans out of St. Peters recently who were in shorts. All churches, museums and shops are closed between 1 and 4 p.m. in Rome. Then they are opened until 8 p.m. From 5 p. m. o n Romans emerge from their homes to stroll, visit and shop, and eat at cafes. On a summer even ing, all over the city one might think a festival was in progress so great are the crowds. This is curious in a wine country. I have never seen an intoxicated person in Rome, although liquor may be had in almost every block in the shopping districts. Children I have not seen a sickly looking child in Rome. This is interesting to me, as they certainly do not have the pro teins and body building foods our children have. Children in Rome are better dresed, better groomed and, I think, better behaved. When they are in school, they choose a leader who inspects-, shoes and hands to see that they are clean. Little girls are pretty much fluffed up in petticoats and dainty dresses. Boys wear shorts. You can tell Ameri can children on buses and on the street because they are not as well dressed and are much noisier. Italian children sit quietly in seats. Funerals are quite different here from at home. The hears es are black, gold trimmed, with big plate glass windows. They are horse drawn, and the horses are black plumed as are the three grooms, who sit, two in front, and one be hind. Flowers are in the form of hugh wreaths, sometimes several feet in diameter, and built on an easel like frame These are carried, in the pa rade, on the tops of the little cars. Women in mourning wear black from head to foot, including stockings. Heavy iron shutters are pulled down over shop win dows during the closing hours, so that there is only a bare front to window shoppers. Operas and concerts begin at 9:30 p. m. Dinner is from 8 to 9 p. m., lunch from 1 to 2 in the afternoon. Europeans drink coffee after their meals, not with them. They think the American custom is very amusing. Europeans eat fruit for desert. They seldom eat anything in the form of cakes or pies with meals. "Dulce" or sweets, they eat at bars and cafes. They eat quantities of ice cream but never at home, always at bars and cafes. And so on I could go on indefinetly telling, things in which we differ from Europeans. Carter Family Attends Reunion Central Point Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Carter and -sons, John and Todd, of Upton road, Central Point, flew last Tues day to White Cloud, Mich., for a reunion of Army families at the home of Mr. and Mrs. By ron Fowler.
