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.

Bori finally arrived just in
tim for a screen test. Her

made her famous in German-
speaking countries.
Even if American movie

fidence she's already won
from her American co-stars in

have a major obstacle before

Shady Cove Gleaners -shady cove
By MARGARET SCHULER
- Rome Even after months
of living here the habits, cus
toms and conventions of the
Romans, which differ from
ours, never cease to intrigue
me. 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. These march in
on a given moment all neat

and gloved, to see that law
and order is kept.
SPQR Intrigues
The S. P. Q. 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.
