RieM 'n Shop Member How-To-Save Article Wins Mrs. Thrift Title By PATRICIA McCOHMACK United Press International NEW YORK Now hear this: You can be happy though thrifty. Once you know the secret, you can pinch pennies without look ! ing like Scrooge and feeling like i broken glass. I Mrs. Morris D. Jennings, 01 ney, 111., has a title to reinforce her right to utter such a preach ment. Mrs. Jennings just has been named "Mrs.. Thrift-Wise of 1963," a title won via an essay contest on thrift sponsored by the American Mothers Commit tee. Most folks, says she. make a mistake when they think only of money when the word "thrift" crosses the brain. Defines Thrift Mrs. Jennings said thrift con sists not only in saving money, but also lime and energy. "Save time and your own life will be enriched because you will have time to do some of the things you enjoy doing," she noted. "Save energy and you save health. Save money and you smooth the family's pathway for today and all the tomorrows." For her winning essay, Mrs. Jennings gets 500,000 plaid stamps. A second prize, 250.000 stamps, goes to Mrs. Carolyn M. Dyment of Laconia, N.H.; a third prize, 100,000 stamps, was won by Mrs. Richard L. Hake, of Westfield, N.J. Here are some of Mrs. Jen nings' family-economics lips: Buying the cheapest article is not always the most economi cal. Buy the best quality your budget allows, then live up to the adage that proper care means longer wear. Have goals. Reaching them may take a long time, but hav ing them gives you something to work for. Study Ails Once a week, sturlv the gro cery ads in the paper. Take ad vantage of the sale items, if you need them. Among money saving tips cit ed by Mrs. Dyment was one sug gesting that you bake a cake or pie while a roast is roasting or browning to save fuel. Other ideas from Mrs. Dyment: and Winter ALE MEDFORD , Put window shades all the way up on the sunny side of the house to save fuel in winter. i When purchasing home fur nishings, buy the. best quality when on sale. I Cut hubby's, children's and ! your own hair. Give yourself home pcrmanents. I Buy car insurance from the farm bureau which sells only to safe drivers at a lower cost. Mrs. Hake's money-stretching j hints include one aimed at get ting more mileage out of the vacation dollar. "Although we are not camp i ers," she said, "we reduce the cost of traveling with a family of seven by cooking meals along the way. "An ice chest, Coleman stove and paper dishes are the only investment needed." Mrs. Hake also assigns daily and weekly chores .to each of the five children to "save time and energy and money."

Evergreens, which flourish when all else is brown and dead, are symbols of enduring life, and consequently they have al ways been associated with mid winter festivals, the speaker said. In this country the use of plants and flowers during the sacred season has been a popu lar custom. Fir, spruce, holly and yew are used on the con tinent of Europe.
