Not Harder By Bernice Strawn Extension Home Management Specialist Oregon State This is consumer month at your County Extension office. A lot of shopping will be done lietween now and Christmas Eve, so sharpen up your buy ing know-how and save money. The Extension service has many bulletins to help con sumers—all the way from buy ing children’s clothing, food, and appliances to wise use of credit. Do meals cooked from con venience foods cost more than cooking from scratch? Marie Tribble, Oregon State Univer sity Extension nutritionist told us of a recent study that helps answer this question. The cost depends on the menu. Of the seven different types of meals cooked for the study, two of the convenience food meals were less expensive, two were the same price and three cost more than when all foods were prepared at home. The average cost of all sev en types of convenience meals for four people was 13 cents more than the home-prepared ones In comparison with a similar study made in 1963, home economists found the cost of an average convenience food meal has risen less than half as much as the rise in cost of home-prepared meals. It is interesting to note that only one-fourth as much time was spent cooking the conven ience meal as for the home- prepared one To put it anoth er way. by spending an extra 13 cents you gain about 14 Garden Club Plans For Holiday Events The Mill City Garden club met November 7 at the home of Mrs. Fred Moore, starting with a one o’clock dessert. The Christmas show was dis cussed and plans perfected for it and the bazaar which will be held in the building adjacent to the bank on December 6. A slate of officers for the new year was presented by the nominating committee with Mrs. Clyde Phillips, president, Mrs. Ross McCombs, vice-presi dent, Mrs. Wendell Heller, sec retary and Mrs. Else Allen, treasurer. They were elected by unanimous vote. An invitation was received from the Lyons Garden club to visit with them on Wednes day, November 13 at the Me thodist Church. Mrs. Cooke from Stayton was scheduled to demonstrate Christmas a r • rangements. The Garden club made mon ey contributions to the UGN, Muscular dystrophy fund and to the state hospital. Mrs. Clyde Phillips, Mrs. Lowell Cree and Mrs. Hollis Turnidge will be hostesses for the Christmas party Decem ber 19 at the Cree home, start ing at 1 p.m. Members are to bring a toy for the Jaycee sponsored Toys for tots pro ject, this will replace the us ual gift exchange. Those attending the Novem ber meeting were Mrs. Walter Thomas. Mrs. Else Allen, Mrs. Wendell Heller, Mrs. Martin Hansen, Mrs. Floyd Fleetwood, Mrs. Charles Dolezal, Mrs. Clyde Phillips, Mrs. Ross Mc Combs, Mrs. Ervin Peterson, Mrs. O K. DeWitt, Mrs. Har vey Tolbert and the hostesses. hours of preparation time for one of the test meals. This means you’re getting about 9 cents an hour for your work. But it’s up to you, whe ther you can better afford the time cr the slight extra cost, or whether you choose lower cost convenience foods. For Consumer month, Mrs. Dorothy F. Brown, Oregon State University Extension home furnishings specialist, of fers this suggestion. If ycu buy a new upholstered chair or sofa, you’ll be money ahead if you buy the best quality up holstery material that the fam ily budget can take. Nylon and olefin are very durable fibers, but the weave is important, too. Tightly twisted yarns, close ly woven with equally heavy yarns in both directions, make for long-wearing fabrics. Good quality pile fabrics also give satisfactory wear. Re-upholstering a chair with durable fabric may cost you about $100. For a sofa, figure about $200 to re-upholster. Buy ing good quality upholstery in new furniture will help delay this expense for several more years. Will you cook the big holiday meal this year, Organize—don’t agonize. First plan your menu and consider what’s possible in your kitchen and with the time you have. Look over your cooking utensils. If you’re cooking for 16 or more, it may be wise to borrow or rent a restaurant size coffee pot or other uten sils. Count your china, silver, and glasses and arrange to bor row what you need. How will you seat your guests—at a large table, card tables or both, Think about table linen to go with your tables. For napkins, consider paper ones which come in appropriate colors and designs. Write a complete shopping list. Before you shop, 1 make space in the refrigerator • for the extra food. Check the ice cube supply. Set up a schedule for the week so you can do many of the johs in advance. Don't be a wilted hostess on the big day. If your kitchen cabinets do not reach all the way to the ceiling, the tops will he good dust catchers. Put several layers of news paper on the tops. These need not .show. As dust collects, simply peel off the top layer of paper and discard it. Pictured this week are the chiltli-eu of Mr. and Mrs. Gord on Davidson of Mill City.
