Plan to use some of them in these Banana Mincemeat Tarts and other dramatic ways suggested in today's food column. Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Resolve Now to Be Better Buyer in 1963 Budget-minded cooks re covering from holiday food bills and other buying binges will find economy-wise sug gestions here today. First we figure out ways of using up some of those gift and decora tive perishables and items to be found lurking in refrigera tor and freezer. Clear them out and straighten shelves and you'll be surprised, prob ably amazed. Watch Ads. Now we're ready to make the most of the "specials" and "best buys" the stores. Watch this newspaper's advertisements and look for specials scat tered throughout the stores in mass displays. It is inventory time in many markets for they must have good house keeping habits too as well as highly competitive store keeping policies and methods. Quantity Buying: Quantity buying of non-pcrishablcs ali en means savings of both time and money. Nothing however is a bargain unless you plan to use it all within a reason able length of time. Check storage space. Quality Buying: This is im portant to watch. Choose the best foods for the use you have in mind. Buy fancy foods if you're showing them off; other grades for ingredi ent purposes. Label Reading: The label reader will find important information on packages and cans. Manufacturers and pro cessors of food are doing an increasingly good job of pro viding pertinent information making it easy to compare prices and servings, as well as suggesting ways of prepara tion andor suggestions for tise. Weight Watching. Be a weight walcher and a scale scanner. Note the price per pound when buying fresh foodstuffs and buy desired amount to best serve your purpose.

New York -il'PH- As farm tractors and trucks increased, the number of horses in the nation have declined from 25 moriPl run when 37 per cent of all cars made had pillarless pcrials. Most of the "sporty models today also have hard top styling. These include the Thunderbird and its chief competitor, the new Riviera introduced a few months ago. Greatest Popularity The s t a I i s t Ic a 1 agency Ward's Automotive Reports found that two and four door hardtops attained their great est popularity in the 1957 million in 1920 to around 3 million today. But breeders say the rise in the popularity of riding currently is offset ting the decline of horses on the farm. tops. Ward's said hardtop models are currently experi encing their greatest popu larity since 1957. Of 1,917,200 cars made in the 'B.I model year through Nov. 30. 29. 8 per cent of them were either two or four-door j hardtops. This was a rise , from 25.4 per cent in the en ! tire 19H2 model run and from I 22 1 per cent in 1961. Ward's credits GM with touching off the current re surgence in hardtop styling. It used two-door hardtop styl ing on some of its sporty com pact cars such as the special Skylark and F-85 Jetfire. In 1962. GM built 75.1 per cent or three out of every four hardtops made by the in dustry. But GM's total has been cut on the '63 models be cause other automakers are bringing out more hardtop models. Ford't Share Up GM's share of hardtop pro duction has been trimmed to 65. 4 per cent largely because Ford's share is up to 20.B per cent from 14.6 last year and Chrysler's to 12.1 from 9.3 in the 1962 model run. American Motors broke its straight sedan tradition for 1963 by bringing out a two door Rambler American hard top. It still doesn't make a four-door hardtop. The four door versions were first in troduced in 1955, again by Buick. For a few years, Ford tried a different approach, offering a retractable hardtop. The one-piece steel roof fitted into the trunk of the car. Ford built 48,500 from 1857 to 195S but dropped the model be cause of insufficient demand.
