Pork, Apples
Listed as
Best Buys
Washington - (UPD - House
wives will find pork and ap
ples leading this week end's
best buy list, from the cur
rently plentiful supplies on
hand-
Some markets, however,
will offer stellar attractions
in certain cuts of beef, with
broilers, fryers, and turkeys
continuing to wear bargain
price tags.
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. Large and medium
size eggs are mostly 1 to 4
cents a dozen lower than a
week ago.
All classes' -of poultry con
tinue in ample supply and
prices are mostly unchanged.
Butter supplies are ample
and prices steady.
In fresh fruits and vege
tables, tomatoes and squash
are values. In good supply
e avocados, lemons, or
anges, cucumoers, onions,
russet potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Apples and potatoes are
slightly lower in price this
week.
Best fish buys are rockfish,
salmon and sablefish.
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

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 . . . "Jt is full of vita
