4B THE C AROLINA TIMES Sat., April 7, 1973 ''Oim of the best guides to buying citrus is by weight. The heavies! fruit, not the biggest, will give you the greatest value, says Mrs. Ruby Utile, extension con sumer marketing econ omist, North Carolina State University. Eat Now, Pay Later It could happen that Americans without expense ac counts or credit cards will be looking for ways to eat to day and pay tomorrow. Food prices are rising faster than salaries, and budget-conscious homemakers are feeling the pinch. Even if it's true that profit margins are small for all links in the food production-processing-distributing chain, it doesn't make the consumer feel any better at the check out counter. What can homemakers do to make the family food budget stretch further? They can become smarter shoppers, penny pinchers and bargain buyers. Homemakers can use ingenuity in meal planning and food buying. They should shop for food stores with the same business-like approach they shop in stores. They can pack the freezer and the pantry by stocking up on store specials. Even though Americans only spend 16 percent of their gross income for food, the family food budget also pays for incidentals and non-food items. The shopper should pay for these items separately in order to keep accurate cost records. To put pennies in perspective, smart home makers will buy cheaper cuts of meat and make mam dishes with cheese. They'll keep milk on the table and shop selectively for fruits, vegetables and wheat prod ucts, the other important members of the Basic 4 food group. Americans are conditioned to pay a fair price for what they get. But they are shrewd shoppers and continually look for bargains. Luckily, in this country, where one mil lion farmers supply the food needs for 208 million citi zens, food is worth its price. However, it makes good dol lar sense to pre-think all purchases: A compact car owner wouldn't own or like buying the gas for a big car. In the same manner, where pennies count, count on your shop ping list to steer you safely past the impulse items in the food store. Be as careful when shopping for food as you are when buying clothes or a new car. Remember the adding ma chine tape at the check-out counter usually includes 20 per cent or more of non-food items. Subtract them and be fair to food prices. If you don't, food buying and fam ily eating will become a chore and a bore. And your fam ily will become a prime candidate for the Eat Now, Pay Later Club Coffee with Flavors 41 HHV IHHp j& S&i&iilliiiill&Pi BMff- jam- III Jre 'faSfsfSSi B'K.v-&'' '$amm IK MB LhbL &o!bH The next time friends stop by for coffee and conversa tion, greet them with something different.

The empty containers are never really empty, the specialists explain. They always contain some of the pesticide. Even a trace can be dangerous. Decontaminating the containers is virtually impossible, therefore, they must be disposed of In a proper manner. Open air burning is not acceptable because of possible contamination of the air. Dumping unused pesticide on the surface is prohibited. So what's left? A few farmers maybe near enough to a drum reconditioning firm which has decontaminat ing equipment or an approved incinerator to justify delivery of empty containers. But most farmers will have to bury empty containers, either) on the farm or In' an approved landfill disposal area For burial on the farm, select an area of well drained soil away from homes, wells and streams. These sites must be ones that will not be used in the foreseeable future for crops, livestock or homes. It is important to break, puncture or crush the container so there will be no chance of some unknowing person coming along and using it for any purpose. It should be buried at least 18 inches below the surface. For - burial in an approved landfill, be sure that the container is crushed or rendered completely useless to anyone who might want to salvage it. Also, advise the per son in charge of the landfill so that he may cover the container as soon as possible. Neyer leave pesticide containers out in the open. Keep them locked up until they can be buried properly. Safe handling of left over pesticide containers Clothes Budget Pinch Eased by 'Recycling RALEIGH Clothing budget getting tight? Save money by recycling the family's clothes. This is just another way of saying, "Do some mending," point out extension clothing spe cialists, North Carolina State University. Notion counters carry replacement pockets, zippers, elastic, slip and bra strap replacements and iron-on patches. Most teenagers will proudly wear jeans that have been mended with the new assortment of iron-on patches, the spe cialists observe. The secret of success with iron-on patches is to use the right pressure and heat when applying them. Incorrect application will result in the patches becoming loose after washing or cleaning. Shrinks, or the brief sweaters that look as though they have shrunk, are very fashionable right now, the specialists note. Check your closet. You may have the latest fashion already if too hot water was used when KNOW mm BANKER When you live in a community, there are cer tain professional people you should learn to know rather well . . . including your banker.

VIEWPOINT A 'HO FAULT' SUCCESS STORY THAT PROTECTS PEOPLE For many years motorist have complained about auto insurance in the same man ner as those people Mark Twain described when he said : "'Everybody talks about (he weather but nobody does any thing about it." Lately a lot of that talk about insurance has been trans lated into doing something about it. As a result, states all over the country have been adopting or considering so-called No-Fault Automobile Insurance Laws. All, are intend ed to correct the flaws of the auto insurance system: high premiums, delays in settle ments, and abundance of law suits. Unfortunately few of the No-Fault laws have accom plished these purposes. Some have actually raised premiums and reduced insurance pro tection. Others have discrim inated against the poor, the aged and the unemployed. Too many have deprived in nocent accident victims of the right to sue for just compen sation for injuries suffered. In one stale - Illinois - such a discriminatory law has been thrown out as unconstitution al. So it is a pleasure to learn of the success of Delaware's No-Fault insurance law which has just celebrated its first anniversary. Delaware's Insurance Com missioner Robert A. Short proudly observed the occa sion by reporting: "More people are being paid more promptly and more equitably than ever before: .,. For over a year now, there is not a single known incident where the Delaware accident victims were not paid prompt ly on presentation of their bills. . .Litigation over med icals, wages and loss of sap ices has also disappeared. V . This success is achieved with no increase in rate level. . . Bodily injury premium rates were reduced as much as 25 by bureau companies, and the average rate level reduction "Delaware's No-Fault Auto Insurance is working and can well serve as a national model."

Commissioner Short may well be right in his conclusion: 1973: THE YEAR OF CHARLIE PEOPLE they're like nothing ever known or grown before. If you've been reading nothing else lately, you've been read ing countless versions and var iations about a new young woman in America today. She's not her mother's little girl. She's not-even-as Amer ican as ice-cream sundaes and cheer leading and dates at driye-in movies. No. Instead, she's as American as: being her own kind of person, know ing who she is and where she's at, having a career rather than a iob. and generally lov ing and living her life to the ultimate hilt. Without guilt. Where does she live?Chances are, in a fair-sized city or swingln' suburb. How old is she? Twenty-something. Is she involved in her work? You bet! What does she look like? Well, they'd have to change the rules for her to win the Miss America contest. But she's got her own kind of good looks. Long of leg. Long ish of hair. With incandescent eyes. And a smile to match. And with something else that can't be bought: her very own special charm. She likes and knows clothes, has the unique knack of tak ing what she likes from the current crop of fashions, and making it her own. This year, she's wearing flouncy palazzo pants, ivory jewelry, at-home caftans, sweaters 'round-the-clock; subtle platform shoes. Adores fragrance. Considers it as much a part of her as her makeup. Says: "I don't feel dressed without my fragrance." A typical Charlie remark. And what's "Charlie"? It's a new fragrance for this fresh and full-ofsurprisesgirlthats just as fresh and unexpected as she. And It breaks a lot of rules. It's sexy-clean. Defini tive. Declarative. It under stands today's kind of girl, because it was created just (or her and her lifestyle. Really, Charlie is more than a fragrance-it's a total environ ment. More than an environ-ment-a concentrated feeling. 13 cup sliced pimiento stuffed olives lA cup finely chopped onion "4 teaspoon salt 18 teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons olive or salad oil 4 loin pork chops, about -inch thick 1 cup uncooked rice 2 cups chicken stock or bouillon Heat olive oil; add chops and cook until lightly browned on both sides.

You bet it does?; Most soils in the humid region are acid or "sour" as a result of losses by leaching and by crop removal of such basic elements as cal cium, magnesium and potash. Most crops grow and produce best on soils which are neutral to slightly acid as deter mined by a reading on the pH scale. This poses the question what is pH? Simply stated, it is the relative alkalinity (sweetness) or sourness (acidity) of a soil type. We all know that 32 degrees on a fahrenheit thermometer represents the freezing point of water. O.K. Let's say that 7.0 on the pH scale represents a soil reading which is neutral, that is, neither sour nor sweet. Now, if 32 degrees represents the freezing point of water on the fahrenheit scale, we can say that readings above 32 degrees are warmer and below 32 degrees, colder. By the same token we can say that a reading above 7 on the pH scale represents a more alkaline (sweeter) soil and below 7, a more acid soil.

In addition, lime teams up with fertilizers to produce higher yields of better quality crops. The amount of liming mate rial needed to correct acidity will depend largely upon the type of Mil, organic matter content and the fineness (mesh) of the liming material. The optimum pH range for many crops is between pH 6 and 7. This wtll include many field crops and most of the vegetables and small fruits, except blue berries and Irish potatoes. Irish potatoes do best in an acid soil, 5.0 to 5.5. The same range is also best for blueberries. If the soil is too sweet, scab will develop on the potato tubers. Azaleas and camel lias should have about the same pH range as blueberries, but camel lias are not as sensitive in this respect as are azaleas. I think you should know, too, that you can make soils too acid for azaleas. I have a friend who was "having a time" with his azaleas until he found out that his soil was too acid. Lime corrected his trouble. Lime has a very marked effect on the availability to plants of such important elements as nitrogen, phosphorous, potash, magnesium and others. And so, be sure. Have your soil tested. Your county extension office can supply you with cartons with instructions for soil sampling and handling. HOME COMFORT Demand for home comfort appliances is increasing.
