Food ads save' time, give infor mation, announce toodi on t&e market and ctn lead to a siz able saving in your food bud get Mias Gaynelle Hogan, consum er marketing specialist ill Greensboro, says food ada often tell what food* are in season or Ip plentiful auppply. When many stores have "special*" on the same tiems, it usually means thai it is a good time to serve that food. When is a special ? bargain* Miss Hogan says many people think ? "special" is always * bargain but it is net true. To determine the vatae of a special, you need* to know the usual price, the quality, the brand name and then interpret all of these in terms of the use to which the purchase will be put. For example, poor quality ap ples at a price at 10 cents per I pound could result in ? coat of 20 eenta per pound If half the apptos are discarded aa unus able. Studies show that a family ean save 10 to 18 per cent on their food bill by paying at tention to specials and food priees. A homemaker should learn to shop with an eye open for specials. She says you should avoid exoeasive impulse buyinf but be ready to snap up a bargain when you see it. Be alert to changes in price and be ready to buy or hold back based on your shop ping know-how. Miss Hogan says you should buy ia large amounts only if you are sure they will be used. Be sure that the special price on smaller aites means savings over the price of the large size. "Always remember to take time to oompave before you go shopping and while you shop," she adds. Cancer Society Seeking Cnre For Dread Ailment Against leukemia the Amer ican Cancer Society hat a sin gle mission ? to find the answer to this killer as quickly at pos sible. la ita intensive pursuit of a cure for thii cancer of tl?c blook - forming tissues, the American Cancer Society is in vesting more than 92,000,000' in leading research centers, and scores of scientists, assistants and technicians. This mammoth attack against leukemia has been made pos sible by the generous contribu tions of the public. The Amer ican Cancer Society is able to support more research against leukemia than any other volun tary health agency. rn the day-to-day search, scientists, supported by the American Cancer Society, have made major discoveries. Al though there it no cure for leukemia today, newly develop ed drugs ? chemicals discovered in the last 15 years? make it possible to extend the lives of many leukemia patients from months to- years of useftH, hap py lives. As recently as 1948, hmlf of the children stricken with leukemia died within four months after diagnosis of the diaease. Now this is no longer necessarily io.

The young, the old, want an answer. Leukemia is no respect er of age. Once it was thought of primarily as a child's disease. Today we know that more adults than children die from it. This year leukemia will take the lives of some 2,206-xhildren and about 11,400 adults. A tra gic loss of some 13,600 lives a year ? a human tragedy that only more research can prevent.

I had such a delightful letter from Margaret (Mrs. Sam) Moss Saturday. As yon no doubt remember, Saan was our pastor for a few years, and he and Margaret we Be married while in Boone. Since the letter will be of interest te so many Boone people . . . here are excerpts. Space won't permit using the latter in full and I regret it! Jan. 17, 1963 Dear Bonnie Jean, We continue to enjoy receiv ing the Watauga Democrat, ttiough we do not know as many of the residents now in your growing town, it is nice to get the paper ? and (un to watch it grow! We do know a family who ia coming to Boone in February and are pleased for you and them! They are the Sam Dixons of Pinehurst. They were fine members and cherished friends of our years in Fletcher! When we were living in the Flctcher community, we spent many happy hours in the Dixon home. Ye?, you are fortunate to have the Dixons coming to your town. And I'm sure the Dixona will find Boone just as wonderful as the Mosses al ways told them it was! They are valuable citizens and loyal church members. By the way, recently I have sent my paper on over to the Midway School to Miss Blanche Stokes who used to live near Boone! Sam had major surgery Tues day a. m. at Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem ? a kidney operation ? "congenital" in ori gin, corrective in "nature." The condition wms found during a routine physical. Sum is mighty uncomfortable. I hope to find him better Priday. Hell be there from 10 day* to 2 weeks in all. Along with Sam's being in hoapMai, this week has alao in cluded a three day church wide study led by Dr. Ronelle, a sudden death ia the church family ? and tomorrow ia Sam my's 10th birthday and it must be celebrated! So, I'm taking 7 boys and 1 Tom Boy (Ruthie) to an afternoon movie to help celebrate the birthday!

Would you please call Viv ian and tell her about Sara Moss ? and that you folks can be glad the Dixons are Metho dists!! Regards to your family. Love, Margaret Moss Route 10, Box 22 Lexington, N. C.
