Family Eating Better for Less, Official Claims Champaign, 111. - (UPD - The American family," that two generations ago spent half its income on foods, eats better today on less thanv25 per cent of its take-home pay, says the president of the Illinois Can ning company, in Hoopeston. Louis Ratzesberger, at the Ag-Industries Forum at the University of Illinois, pointed to recent studies. They show ed that if families were con tent to buy the same type and quantity of food per person as they did before World War II, they could do so, with an out lay of only 16 per cent of their budgets. Ratzesberger attributed the difference between that figure and the 25 per cent they actu ally spend to improvements in the food industry, which consumers desire. People want canned or "con venience foods" because they save time, provide better bal anced meals, and actually cost less than fresh or raw foods, or the cost of ingredients mak ing up the products, he said. He cited an average pack aged devil's food cake, made from prepared mix and two eggs, which costs 41 cents. Made "from scratch" it costs 53 cents. And concentrated orange juice, costs about half that of the home squeezed variety, he said. Son Carries on Family Tradition Marlboro, Mass. -(UPD- Teen ager Jackie Hogan carries on his family's tradition in horse manship and makes money at it, too-$6,000 this year.

Jackie is one of the young est trotting drivers registered in New England and must re strict his work to matinee races-where betting is pro hibited. ' ' Horses are a habit in the Hogan family.

We Give GREEN STAMPS CENTRAL REXALL DRUG Main and Central Spokane-What do five women who have not seen one an other for more than 20 years talk about? Last night (Satur day) Potpourri held a reunion with four Kappa Delta sorority sisters whom we had not seen since leaving Spokane to live in Medford. There was the usual embracing, the wistful talk about grey hair, sagging chins and the horrible fact that we all face the future through bifocals, and a lot of talk about sons, daughters and grandchildren. During the rest of the long evening the conversation kept coming back to one subject American education and schools. These five "older girls" plus one younger woman, all are highly critical of the schools in Washington and Oregon, but by no means discouraged over their state. Since one member of the group teaches mathematics and one is the wife of a music teacher in another high school in the area, the conver sation didn't just represent "the people against the schools." The six women agreed that school children and students in this country need to work harder, need more solid sub jects in high school and college and fewer fluff courses. They also agreed that if the schools don't make the children and young people work hard enough, it is because this attitude of do as little as you can and "get by" reflects the general attitude of the nation. High schools in this area also reflect one problem com mon to much of the nation - the still unequal distribution of money for schools and the fact that needed money is often voted down by a public which cannot seem to realize the importance of adequate plants and facilities. The Spo kane women said that one high school is crippling along with a building which is heavily over-crowded and falling apart at the seams from long years of use; another a few miles away in a richer district has a brand-new building so beautiful and well equipped that it is the envy of patrons and students in other districts and the focal point of criti cism of those who believe that the schools spend too much money on plants and equipment. , Some schools are holding classes in other buildings at a distance from the main plant they are so heavily overcrowded. . Potpourri flew to Spokane early Saturday morning by Northwest airlines,- getting up at 5 a.m. after a few hours sleep in order to be on time for the 6 a.m. call of the limousine to the airport. One other woman was waiting at the Multnomah hotel entrance, and we fell into conversa tion. She turned out to be Mrs: Bert V. Havard, en route back to Medford after a stay in Salt Lake City. The Havards are being transferred to the Utah city by the Chicago and Northwestern Railway company after spending the past five years in Medford. The flight to Spokane was delightful. The plane soon was above the overcast which covered Portland and the immediate area, and in no time at all the beautiful mountain peaks came into view - Mt. Hood to the right and Mt. Adams and St. Helens to the left, with from time to time glimpses of others in the far distance. Craning our neck to see through the tiny porthole like window, we wished that the plane could be made of some transparent material so that passengers could see all around. The rolling hills of central Washington look like folds of brown velvet from the air, with patches embroidered in green. When the grain fields came into view, we were fascinated again by the artistic patterns made by the plow ing and planting machines. i "Before, we had time to read even one booklet from the big envelope which we brought along as a hangover from the presswomen's convention, the pretty stewardess was announcing that we were approaching Spokane - less than two hours after leaving Portland. The quickness of the trip bv a man we met in Portland. he set forth recently to go to Chicago by train. A brother was leaving LA some time later to fly to the same city by jet plane. When the tram passenger was about Z5u nines out of Chicago, the brother left the California city, and arrived at their common destination 15 minutes before the train pulled in. Oregon's Governor Hatfield spoke briefly for the final banquet of the NFPW banquet, and in contrast to Stewart Holbrook. Oregon author who and who told the visitors to go home and stay there, invited the visitors to come to Oregon and make their home. As a matter of fact, Potpourri heard any number of the con ventioneers say they would like to live in one of the western states. One Iowan, who accompanied his wife to the conven tion, planned to stay on in Oregon in an effort to buy a weekly newspaper. He owns a chain of such papers in the Mid-West, and likes everything about his native Iowa but the climate. He asked many questions about the Oregon climate, and we tried to answer truthfully. We told him that the northwest part of the state has a lot of rain, as does the Willamette valley, and that the Medford area has a good climate with the exception of a few ultra-hot days in the summer, and the cursed fog and smog in the winter time. We also heard not one, but five or six women from far away parts of the United States sighing over another Oregon attraction-its good-looking men. One conversation took place in the coffee shop of the Multnomah and we ha,d to agree, looking at . the men along the counter and coming back and forth through the doorway into the lobby, that they were a mighty good-looking lot. Governor Hatfield and his very pretty wife also added to the impression that the state has more than its share of pulchritude. One woman did have some criticism of Governor Hat-field-she wanted to know why he gave such a "political" speech. We didn't mind, however. The governor merely said that Oregon is working hard to keep pace with the times in all respeets, the state's present constitution is a "millstone around our necks and must be changed" and described briefly the new legisation which would handle emergencies of succession caused by the incapacity of a governor. He also pointed out that because of Oregon's unique preferential presidential ballot in the primary election, this state is looking forward to one of the liveliest campaigns in its history. Not everyone would have been interested in the closing address of Mrs. Mabel Temby, the retiring president of NFPW, but we were. Mrs. Temby and her husband also own a weekly newspapers-theirs happens to be in Wisconsin, and she reviewed some of her editorial career for her listen ers. She told of the early discouraging years, when her hus band, a man with only one hand, took a job doing physical labor in an effort to pay the bills which they inherited when they bought the paper. During the war years Mrs. Temby ran the paper- doing absolutely everything but run their one linotype and the heavy task of lifting the forms on the old hand-fed press. This latter job was done by the postman, or any man who happened to be around at the time. When the paper eventually began to make a little profit, the Tembys bought a new press. Without consulting his wife, Mr. T. named the press and painted the name on the side in shocking pink paint. It says "Mabel." In spite of the impressive array of speakers - editors, newsmen, authors, publicists, scientists, etc., Potpourri though Mrs. Temby told the two best stories of the conven- reminded us of a story told A resident of Los Angeles, had talked the nignt oeiore, Fifty-Five Years Of Quality nider's Quality DAIRY FOODS FOR COZY CONVERSATION Charm and ehic are combined in tlii colorful conversational grouping. In thia urban apart nient living room, interior decorator Mary T. Luscher, NSID, blends harmonizing shades of blue and green in cotton slip covers on the sofa, barrel-back rhairs and throw pillows and in the cotton print draperies. A white cocktail table, lamp and fireplace set off these colors. It's a Grand Old Color Scheme, Too New York-(OPD-Three cheers for the red, white and blue even in home decorating schemes. Interior designer James Amster says the young couple or bachelor girl just starting to buy home furnishings can do no better than look to the American flag for color scheme. "If you've got no dough and no furniture to speak of, you have to have contrast in color scheme. It is only when you can afford fine things that you also can afford the muted col ors which provide the back ground. Amster,' member of the American Institute of Decora tors, for 28 years ,has been planning interiors for "rich and poor"-although most of his clients now are in the former income bracket. f Pravtnt Cherry Pi Boil-Over An ounce of prevention can save much toil when you make fresh cherry pies. Don't fill the pie - too full, and cut the slits for the top crust to the center. Seal the top crust to the bottom crust by damp ening the rim of the bottom crust first, then fold the edge of the upper crust under the bottom pastry and press the edges together with the tines of a fork. Cut a piece of alu minum foil about three inches larger than the pie plate and place on the rack underneath the pie.

One went like this-the couple had talked for some time about buying a new car and one day, without saying a word to his wife, Mr. T. decided to sell the old car. So he wrote an advertisement describing the virtues of the family automobile and put it in the classifieds-in the manner which is known as a "blind ad." When the paper came out his wife read the advertisement, said to herself, this is the kind of car we need, and answered it. Mrs. Temby's second story who came in to order wedding invitations. She had her in formation all neatly written down on a piece of paper and Mrs. T. was happy to have such an efficient and orderly cus tomer. The next morning before noon the telephone rang and the young lady inquired of Mrs. Temby if the order had gone in, since she had to make an important change. Mrs. T. waited, pencil in hand. It or the hour. The young lady changed the name of the bride groom. O.S. ."' Free Coke for Everyone DONT MISS THE FUN!

(UPD T h e conversation of gifted chil dren will be studied by tape recorded classroom discus sions. The new project is part of the University of Illinois In stitute for Research on Excep tional Children.

The Institute has been given $15,000 for the study from the Elizabeth Mc Cormick Memorial Fund of Chicago. The project's first year will be devoted to listing types of vrbal interchange in the schoolroom, finding out more about productive thinking, and what may encourage, or hamper it, and determining what role the teacher plays in this type of thinking. - Recordings made in a social studies class at the laboratory school of the University of Il linois College of Education will assist investigators in spotting behavior indicating productive thinking, and how classroom conditions affect it.

Fancy Bathroom Accessories in Chicago Show By MARGUERITE DAVIS United Preses International Chicago-DPD-A walnut bath tub frame with head and foot bords covered in soft pink leather is available for any one with $760 to spend.

And there's a commode cover chair done in walnut and cane of antique white with gold leaf trim, for $345. These are among the fancy bathroom fixtures and acces sories shown by Hargri, Inc., obviously designed to make the decorator forcet about budget restrictions.
