Mrs. Roberta Frasier, OSU Ex tension family life specialist, of fers a preventive hint. Listen to the way you re spond to the children. How do they have to act to get attention from you? Do you cause some of the trouble by the way you talk and act toward them? Mrs. Frasier says mothers can save time and reduce tension by making an “I’ll be glad to” re sponse to demands the child makes of them. It will also be easier for a child to accept the necessary “not now’s” if they don’t come every time he asks something. Work Smarter.. . Not Harder | By BERNICE STRAWN. Home Management Specialist A FEW CENTS SAVED HERE AND THERE . . . can cut your weekly food bill anywhere from 10 to 15 per cent, says Mrs. Velma Seat, exten sion food marketing specialist at Oregon State university. Try it and see. Take breads and cereals as a starter. As you shop, remember that bread is less expensive than rolls. Day-old bread, when available, is even cheaper. Hot cereals cost less than ready-to- eat varieties. Unsweetened cer eals are less costly than sugar ed. Whole grain, enriched or forti fied cereal products usually are less expensive (and more nutri tious) than fancy crackers and special breads. Figure the cost and then decide which is best for your family. • • • TO POLISH BRASS. BRONZE OR COPPER . . . candlesticks, andirons or ornaments, the old-fashioned com bination of vinegar and salt, plus elbow grease, stiB holds. How ever, don’t expect miracles in cleaning blackened ends of brass fireplace tools. Commercial metal polishes work fine, a metal lacquer used on the clean polished metal will retard future discoloration. The easiest way to restore a brass-colored fireplace screen tar nished from heat, is to take it out side and spray with a metallic paint. CAN YOU CUT FOOD COSTS . . . with a contract food plan? OSU Extension food marketing specialists suggest that you ask these questions if you are ap proached about such a method. Does the plan call for pur chase of a freezer? If so. how does the cost of the freezer compare with one purchased at a local store? Is there a mem bership fee? Add this to the cost of foods to be purchased. Is the purchaser required to sign a contract for food purchases of a specified amount or at cer tain intervals? If so, the pros pective buyer will want to deter mine from past buying experience whether the amount and kinds of food offered fit the family needs. What quality of food is offered in the plan? Is is what the family likes and will eat? If meats are part of the plan, are grades and cuts the ones that suit your needs? Or will some cuts be pushed back in the freezer until quality de teriorates? Will the family have to go into debt io enter into a con tract for a food plan? If so. will there be interest charges? At what rate? Will this cancel out anticipated savings? Generally speaking, cash and carry is the most economical way to buy. Watching the newspaper ads and buying “specials” can save from 6 to 10 percent on your grocery bill, according to exten sion experts. Try the Journal Classified Page for Quick Results!
