OREGUft PAGE TWENTY THREE Figures Released (Continued from Page 20) dituret were amounts spent (or coffee-breaks, pop, gum, candy, popcorn and alcoholic beverages. The later Item assumes a greater significance in the budget of the city family. However, the outlay for coffee, tea and soft drinks aver ages about the same in both groups. (Next week Mrs. Kirkpatrick will discuss regional breakdowns on food use and cost and a listing of the specific volumes she has 'given to the county library for those who wish to do detailed re search on the subject.) A ROSY ACCENT FOR FEBRUARY FOODS COFFEE A serious indictment has been brought against American home- makers by National Family Opin ion. Inc., which made a survey last year for Pan-American Coffee Bureau. "Ihe average American house wife brews coffee which is uni formly poor," was the conclusion reached after study of the survey. According to the Coffee Brewing Institute, you cannot get more than 45 decent, drinkable cups of 'coffee out of a pound of ground coffee and 40 cups to the pound make an even Detter brew. Today, the national average Is ii cups to the pound. This means that the American housewife is wringing about 20 extra cups of coffee out of each pound of coffee she uses. As a consequence, all the cups of coffee she makes from that pound are weak and pallid. "Coffee is many things to many people," Pan-American Coffee Bu reau says. "To some, It is comforting warmth on a cold day and for others it provides the necessary gumption to help them to get to work on time. Sometimes coffee means inspiration, or courage, or merely a good excuse to sit down and talk with someone you like. Very often, it sets the final tone of the at-home meal. "To sum up, coffee should be made so that the drinking of it is a pleasure. It requires no sleight-of-hand, no magic to brew it well. "You'll find it worthwhile to fol low the few common sense sug gestions that make all the dif ference between good coffee and bad." Start with a thoroughly clean coffee-maker, the bureau advises and use fresh coffee if you can. Fresh water is important, too. Measure the coffee properly each time; Best results in brewing cof fee are obtained by using one standard coffee measure of coffee (or its equivalent, 2 level measur ing tablespoons) to i measuring cup of water for each serving. If you want weaker coffee, dilute, with water after brewing. Finally, serve the coffee as soon "as possible after brewing. February Is a month of cher ries.

Help them make easy, inexpen sive favors, that their little gill friends may use later as purses. Designed by Martha Blair, di rector of the Pfaff Sewing Insti tute, the favors are made with two pieces of hear-shaped red felt joined at the top by a strip. To make the purses, trace heart shapes from a book or magazine or fold a piece of newspaper in half and cut a semi-heart shape on the fold. Open the paper and both sides of your heart will be even. Sew three-fourths of the way up both sides of the heart and attach a thin felt strip at the top of each heart. When the little misses have eaten the Valentine sweets from their hear-shaped favors they cani sup the handle over a wrist or on a belt and use the favor as a purse. Pfaff designers suggest sewing machine embroidering the hearts and handle. Pfaff's heart - "felt" Valentine favors may be made from any fabric scraps. You may cut one dozen four by five-inch favors from a half yard of 36-inch wide felt. Heart "felt" Valentine favors are ! a wonderful bad weather project I for youngsters.
