Medium and small eggs are budget-priced right now and cheese is another protein food in excellent supply represent ing an A-one value. Vegetable bins will offer less variety this week end, but there still will be ample supplies of such old standbys as potatoes, sweet potatoes, snap beans, celery, cauliflow er, squash and tomatoes. Citrus Still short Among' the best fruit val ues will be apples, a feature right now at numerous mar kets as National Apple week draws to its close; Bartlett pears, and grapes. Supplies of citrus still are meager but the weeks ahead will remedy this situation. - Best buys in fish, national ly, are shrimp, canned tuna, and fish sticks. These are the week end's best buys at markets across the nation. Now for a closer look at food counters in this area: West: Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana; Nevada, Ore gon, Utah, Washington, Wyo ming: Beef, pork, eggs, poul try, apples and potatoes are in ample supply and will pro cide consumers with numer ous attractively priced buys this week end. Eggs Good Buy Fresh and cured pork cuts are - mostly 1 to 4 cents a pound lower than a week ago, and a few beef cuts are slight ly lower in price in some markets. Mostly unchanged in price are the ample sup plies of lamb and the fairly good supplies of calf and veal. Sharply lower egg prices will make them one of , the most attractive buys this week end.

Traveling Editor Tries Chopstick' Knee Sitting (Editor's note: In thii dispatch L'PI Women's Editor Gay Pauley, visiting the Far East, roes into the customs of eating with chopsticks, knee-sitting, and the "tea rite.") By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor TOKYO (CPD Scrutinizing the inscrutable East: When in Japan do as the Japanese do is my theory. So I've learned in a manner of sorts to eat . with chopsticks. It was either master them or starve, in this land where knife and fork are for diehard Westerners dining on Western-type dishes. Colored Water, Plus Mothballs For Centerpiece Corvallis - Add fun and beauty to fall parties with a colorful centerpiece made from mothballs, colored wa ter, citric acid and baking soda, Oregon State college ex tension specialists suggest. The mothballs bounce back and forth through the colored water releasing bubbles as they move. To make, fill a bowl almost full of water. Add food color ing and mothballs. Add equal amounts of citric acid and baking soda, a tablespoon at a time, until mothballs begin to bounce. Party guests should be reminded, however, that the mothball mixture is not good to drink. OSC specialists say that it has also ' become popular at some parties to add dry ice to punch. If dry ice is- used, users should familiarize them selves with some of its char acteristics and handle it with care. Here are their sugges tions. Because of its extreme cold ness (minus 110 degrees), dry ice should be handled with gloves. Small amounts should be carefully placed in punch, not an empty bowl, to prevent the bowl from cracking. Fill bowl about half-full of punch. Plenty of head space should be allowed for addition of dry ice, because carbon dioxide may cause punch to "boil" over . the sides of the bowl. When added to punch, carbon dioxide fizzes merrily, gur gles, and releases a steamy vapor. For safety's sake, use the dry ice mixture as a center piece, and a beverage after all foaming stops, they sug gest. Chips of dry ice that might be in a cup of punch could cause a burning sensa tion in the mouth, they cau tion. - " Dry ice, an odorless, non toxic solid, is almost pure carbon dioxide, the same as used in carbonated bever ages. It is made for manufac turing purposes and used as a refrigerant where neither electricity or other power sources are available. Six Attend Sessions Six Medford members of the Wesleyan Service guilds are in Portland attending the annual presidents' house party for leaders" of this Methodist working women's organiza tion.

An interracial panel will discuss the subject .-"Prejudice: What It is, What It Does and What We Can Do About It," with Mark A. Smith, ad ministrator of -the civil rights division of the Oregon State Bureau of Labor, as mod-, erator. A banquet at 6:30 p.m. in the Mallory Hotel dining room followed the panel qn Saturday. Banquet speaker was Mrs. Vera Berney, per sonnel director for the Crown Zellerbach corporation, Cam as, Wash. Her topic was ''The But knee sitting, another5! old Japanese custom, is be yond my creaky joints." It's for girls only. The men are smart and sit with legs cross ed in front of them. Knee-sitting look easy. It consists of crouching on the floor, sometimes with cush ions, sometimes without, with legs tucked under.. J.n other words, you're sitting on your heels. ... They tell me this method, used both at home and in res taurants, is so much a p art of training from childhood that the Japanese girl can sit for hours without shifting. I've worked up to five min utes, before circulation halts and numbness begins. The Japanese middle class home has fewer of the modern conveniences than the Ameri can, but give the wage earner time. Only Japanese office worker I met listed his wife's "priority" list for adding ap pliances. She wanted an electric toast er, washing machine, blender (used for whipping tea made from powdered leaves), refrig erator, television set and rice steamer in that order. He'd managed to all all "priorities' on his S110 per month salary except TV and steamer. This latter gadget is much in de mand m Japan because, just as some of our radios start the morning coffee perking, the steamer starts the rice cooking before the housewife gets out of bed. Old-time methods of rearing the Japanese girl hold, despite Westernization of dress and other customs. The cultured Japanese.girl always is taught: Flower arrangement, music both vocal and instrumental, native dancing, and the tea ceremony. This last art, which had its beginnings with the Buddhist religion, is regarded as a must in "polite" circles. Tea houses abound in Japan; and tea rooms are part of every tem ple. : Mrs. Heisaburo Morisada, a civic leader I visited in Kyoto, tried tq give me a lesson in the tea rite at her home. It wa too complex for me to follow -r- or explain. The Japanese girl who learns the tea cere money has my undying re spect. Many tea bowls are ancient and priceless, Mrs. Morisada said. But she added a modem tquch by saying the tea is good for you . . .
