PLUNKETT New York - IUPII - Savings great enough to buy a home freezer - or maybe a stereo hi fi - can be shaved off the annual family food bill if shoppers practice ingenuity and know-how. Home economists who fig ured this fact out decided a family of five can whittle be tween 10 and 15 per cent from the bill if the shopper instinctively can decide be tween "specials" and real "bargain buys." Astuteness of the shopper, size of the family, extent of purchases, and other factors could run the savings even higher. Food expenditures approxi mate $389 per person on a national average. Thus, a fam ily of five would spend, on an average, five times $389, or $1,945 for food in a year. A 10 per cent savings would mean about $200. A 15 per cent cut would result in savings of $300, a Cornell university study indicated. Little Savings Little savings on numerous 6mall purchases, which seem unimportant on a day-to-day basis, add up to a sizable ag gregate for the year, the sur vey noted. Many people think a "spec ial" is a "bargain," but this is NOT always the case, said Roger Murphy, economist in marketing with the New York State extension service. Granting of extra trading stamps is a test of a shopper's know-how. "This is one to watch," Murphy warned, "be cause the cash value of the stamps may not be sufficient to warrant the purchase." In the determination of value between specials and bargains, here are seven sug gested rules which the shop per "must" know: The everyday price of the article; product quality; brand names: tie-in sales values: use to which the purchase will be put; the folly of impulsive excessive buying; and the ne cessity for reading the news paper ads, and clipping the coupons ahead of time. Second Item Offering of a second item at a little extra cost can mean savings, but the shopper should be sure the tie-in item is needed. Also, unless the shopper knows the everyday price, she may be fooled into buying what she thinks is a special - because of the ad - vertising - when actually the price is NO different from the regular cost. Quality is of particular im portance in judging a special.

Jim Chambers is tournament director. Members of the vari ous valley bridge clubs are serving on other committees. Tuesday night 13 tables of players took part in the week ly game of the Medford Du plicate Bridge club. North south winners were Mrs. How ard Boyd and George Rode, first, 186; Mrs. Paul McDuffee and Mrs. Richard Milestone, second, 180'i; Howard Boyd and Richard Finncll, third, 178; Ralph Meegan, Ashland, and Al Gilhousen, fourth, 176. Winning east - west were Mrs. W. W. Stevenson and Mrs. Glen Harrison, first, 187: Robert Middleton and John Shortridge, Mrs. Sam Richard son and Ray Wise, who tied for second and third with 182 points, and Col. D. H. Barber and Berg Marten, fourth, 172'$. A visiting player was Capt. Kenton Robbins, McQuire field, New Jersey, who is here as a guest of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Robbins. The officer is en route to Japan. Food Bills home economist, cited a spe cific example: Poor quality of apples at 10 cents a pound re sults in a cost of 20 cents if half of the apples are discard ed as waste. Good judgment would dictate paying a little more for good quality in the first place. Meat which takes as much as 25 per cent of the food money, requires particular at tention. U.S. choice grade steak, priced below the usual rate, may be a bargain. But not if the lower price is for a lower grade. Use of the product Is anolh ed prime consideration in the special-b a r g a i n separation. Canned sliced pineapples, another cited example, cost more than chunk, but if they are to be cut in a salad, the chunks may be equally satis factory. Even if the slices are offered on a "special" well below the usual price, but still above the cost of chunks, the special obviously will re sult in NO savings. Additional suggested rules for shoppers included: Resistance to any high pres sure sales pitch, unless the item is needed and favorably priced. Take time to com pare, before starting and while shopping; and be alert to changes in price, and ready to buy, or hold-back, based on know-how. "The pennies you save to day will be your dollars to morrow," Murphy and the other marketing experts agreed. Dance Callers Join For Open Session In Roxy Ann Hall Dennis Ray, a Y-Knot Twirler square dance club member, and Bob Glather, a member of the Star Prom enader Square Dance group will join Saturday night in calling for an open square dance session in the Roxy Ann Grange hall.

DOYLE Portland, Ore. - IUPII - When women started going to bar bershops for a trim, the bas tions of male privacy were reduced to two - the men's clubs and the pool hall. The men s clubs are ex pensive and selective of mem bership. So, for the majority, there remained the pool hall. Now that establishment also is shared with the gentler sex. A pool hall in Hillsboro, near here, caters exclusively to women. Its name is the "Cue and Cushion," which is enough to make men recall nostalgically the less glamorous halls of old. Once, the pool hall was a dark and safe sanctuary of softly clicking billiards and hardwood floors where a thousand cigars and cigarettes a day were unceremoniously ground out. Warnings "No minors." "No loiter ing." No drinking on the premises." "No gamb 1 1 n g." Those were the stern warnings scribbled on cardboard signs tacked on dun brown walls. They were the local laws, violated daily. The green-top tables were bordered by wood polished through the years by carefully placed elbows. A single light illuminated the felt from above - like a prize fight ring. Here, for a small part of a buck, any man could be a gladiator. Why would a woman want to be in such a place? She wouldn't. 3ut Walt Ruecker knows how to draw them in. At the "Cue and Cushion," the traditional green covers are gone. In their place are tables covered with felt of robin's egg blue, gold, coral and soft gray. The wood is a cheerful yellow. The floors are carpeted. Cue racks are back ed with coral. Lighting is from ceiling-set fluorescent lamps. And the Cue and Cushion has a nursery! Has Classes Ray Dillon, who has spent most of his life in billiards and bowling, holds classes for the women. He said the initial class after the parlor opened drew 15 students. The classes have been growing since. Dil lon maintains that teaching women is as easy as teaching men. "You choose a cue just like you choose a paring knife," he tells his students. Owner Ruecker is so pleased with the success of the Hillsboro parlor he plans to open another one in Beaverton, Ore., this sum mer. But Ruecker is not the first to apply the feminine touch to the once gloomy ex clusiveness of the pool hall. The way was paved by 19-ycar-old Ann Sidlausuas, an Supper Given Wildcrville - Seventy-five persons attended a recent sup per given jointly by the Wild erville Community church. the'Woman's Society of Chris tian Service, the Wildcrville Grange Home Economics club and the Wilderville Parent Teacher association.
