American Couple Adjusts to
Life Behind the Iron Curtain
(Editor's note: Moscow is
where the Kremlin is. and
the Bolshoi. It's the place
from which Nikita Khru
shchev makes his power
plays over Berlin and Cuba
and Vietnam, and where
massos of people jam Bed
Square on stale occasions.
But what is Moscow like as
a place to live when you
are American, a newspaper
man, and make your home
there? Following is a dis
patch from a member of the
United Press International
staff in the Soviet capital,
and his wife.)

Foreign residents in Mos

In Tsarist clays the Russian

foreign diplomats, Tu some
extent, the tradition lives on.
The Soviet Union has a

Patience Needed
Paliencc is something ev
ery Moscow housewife must
learn when she goes market
ing, whether she he a for
eigner or Moscow citizen.
We have been developing
patience fur almost a year
now, and also have learned
that forethought is one of the
ways lo avoid too much strain
even on cultivated patience.
As foreigners in the Soviet
Union we are allowed to im
port unlimited supplies of
foodstuffs. Large department
stores in Stockholm and Co
penhagen make a specialty of
serving Moscow clientele.
We have found it is most
economical lo order in hulk
up to a six-months' supply.
This lakes practice, loo. Our
first shipment was not a suc
cess. We finished the canned
fruit in three weeks and were
left wondering how we'd ever
work through the remaining
six pounds of curry powder.
In the second order, we
thought we had things figured

cans of sliced pineapple, and
no lump sugar.

and usually more expensive
than is food we can import.
Such commodities as bread
and milk are usually bought
locally, though. And this is
where patience gets it work
out. In most nf Moscow's shops
you must line up three limes
in order to buy something.
You line up first at the coun
ter where you choose your
item, then at a cash desk
where you pay for it and
finally at a third counter
where you collect your pur
chase. Since such shops usual
ly are crowded, buying sim
ple things can be very time
consuming. Self Service
A few nf Moscow's slut-fa

with self-service bill the idea
has not yet caught on gen

Ihe black bread being particu
larly tasty. A loaf of bread
costs between 25 and IIS ko
pecks, or 25 to 115 cents. Dairy
products such as yogurt, col
lage cheese and "smclana"
(sour cream) are very good.
So is the Ice cream.
During the summer months
there is a good selection of
fruits and vegetables to be
found in local markets and
in smalt open booths on
street corners. Prices, how
ever, vary from week to week.

Food Forecast Indicates
Abundant Supply for 1 963
By CAYLORD P. GODWIN
Washington - lUPli - There
will be plenty of food for
the U.S. population in 1063
at prices about the same as
those paid in 1962.
In addition to an abundance
of food for domestic use,
there will be enough to ex
port near-record quantities,
and to have substantial re
serves at home, said the De
partment of Agriculture.
Record production of live
stock products in 1962, most
of which are domestically con
sumed, is expected to increase
further in 1963.
The abundant food supply
makes it possible for the pop
ulation to be well fed
whether considered on the
basis of personal likes and
dislikes or from a nutritional
standpoint. In short, there will
be plenty from which to make
a choice, and the nutritional
value of food consumed in
1963 probably will average
about the same as in 1962.
Large Resorves
For some foods, such as
most livestock products, the
population consumes most of
the current production. But
for others, there are large
reserves. As for the livestock
products for next year, the
heavy animal numbers will
provide food aplenty. In the
other foods, there was a bump
er crop in 1962.
The department said that
in 1962 the population con
sumed only 53 per cent of
the supply of food fals and
oils, 54 per cent of the po
tatoes, 58 per cent nf the can
ned fruits and vegetables, and
only 6 per ccnl of the total
grain supply. This situation
is not expected to change in
1963.
The department said food
prices at the retail counter,
aside from seasonal variations,
should change little in 1963
from levels this year.
Consumers continue lo
spend more in total for food,
but they use a smaller pro
portion of their income for
such outlays. According to
latest indications, they spend
on the average about 19 per
ccnl of income for food com
pared with 26 per cent in 19-17-
49. Much of the increase is
for higher quality, more em
phasis on higher cost items,
and more services with food
either in processing or distrib
uting it.
The situation by commodi
ties as the department sees
it:
May Increase
Meat in 1963 consump
tion of red meals is likely to
increase another pound per
capita, to about 163.5 pounds.

Average retail prices may
hold close to the 1962 aver
age. Beef supplies may be
slightly higher probably
90 pounds per capita with
average retail prices equal to
or alittle above 1962.
Veal supplies may be down
slightly with prices unchang
ed. Consumption of lamb and
mutton is expected to drop a
half pound from this year's
5 pounds per capita. Pork sup
plies probably will be above
this year's 63 pounds per cap
ita with prices slightly low
er than in 1962.
Poultry-significantly great
er production and lower
prices may continue at least
through the first half of 1963,
which would bring a record
per capita use. The turkey
carryover will be down sharp
ly, but another large crop is
in prospect, probably second
in size to the 1961 record.
Prices will act accordingly.
Lower egg production is like
ly to continue trough early
1963, then pick up sharply
Dairy - milk supplies are
above commercial require
ments at existing prices. The
1963 milk outputis expected
to increase further over 1962
production of about 126.5 bil
lion pounds.
Ample Supply
Vegetables - frozen veg
eetabics are in ample supply,
may get smaller in mid-1963.
Canned vegetables are in rec
ord suply. Fresh vegetables
are down seasonally in sup
ply, up in price.
Potatoes - supplies smaller
than a year ago by about 7
per cent, but materially larg
er than the recent 10-year
average. Plenly of sweet po
tatoes on hand.
Fruit - total supplies larger
than in the same period of
1961-62.

White Claimed
Preferable for
Painted Homes
Chicago -tW'H- Even people
who do not aspire to the pres
idency have a lot to say for
the while house.
For, painted white, a house
looks roomy. Its color also
allows the widest possible
choices of trims.
White also minimizes arch
itectural defects and makes a
house more comfortable in
summer. Painted while, a low
roof keeps a house from look
ing squatty. On any roof, the
color while lowers interior
temperatures as much as 20
degrees.
When a house is painted
while to look bigger; one can
add to the illusion of size by
keeping the shutters and trim
while too.
While trim can be used to
an even heller advantage on
an older house, lo minimize
I lie patch -work look of odd
size or poorly-placed windows.
Paint Shutters
To do this, remove .shutters
from the offending windows
and trim them in while along
with the house. Trim the re
maining more regular win
dows and shutters in a con
trasting color so that the regu
lar windows fade into the
background.
Red, green and blue arc the
most popular trim colors for a
while house, but geranium
pink, bright tangerine, pea
cock blue and turquoise arc
newer.
Personal preferences are
important, of course, but two
other factors to consider in
choosing trim, as well as basic
house colors, arc climate and
neighbors' homes.
Pastels, particularly blues
and greens, look cool and in
viting in a subtropical climate.
while darker colors-cspccially
deep, warm rods, lake better
lo cool, northern climates.
It is even more important
to choose a color scheme thai
docs nut clash with the houses
next door. Harmonizing colors
will do more for the house
and the entire neighborhood.

Use your gift money to

"Money I never expected."
Just by coincidence, the first
letters of these words spell

how fast this savings account

Many of you say you don't

Take spray starch for in

It's in the gas needed to cre

Spray starch cans should be
