Waste in Kitchen Can Push
Living Costs Sky Hi|h...

"A wife, using i teaspoon, can
throw out of the kitchen door more
than the husband can throw in the
front door, using a shovel." This
was a favorite remark of my
grandfather. I remember hearing
him use it often, but I never could
seem to figure out what was being
shoveled in or spooned out.
During a recent meeting of ex
tension workers, we were hearing
the Economic Outlook for 1959 dis
cussed. During this discusison, the
teaspoon and shovel saying of my
Grandpa's really becamc mean
ingful.
The largest portion of the con
sumer dollar (about 33 per cent
was spent for food during 1958,
and will continue at about the
same level for 1959. The home
maker has an important position
in spending wisely, according to
her family size, age and income.
She not only needs to shop wisely,
but prepare and serve the food
in th? way that the most value
may be obtained.
Making Hay
Newport News, Va. (AP) ? The
Patrick Henry airport here is mak
ing hay and reaping dividends
therefrom. Officials estimate that
150 tons of hay will be reaped this
year. It helps finance the airport.
Consumer food prkc* if ?x
nprtftri In level
off and ra a y
even decline
slightly during
1959, due to
?lightly larger
?upplies of food
available. There
will be an in
crease in supply f%gf g. flitm
of pork, poultry,
fats and oils, peanuts, apples and
potatoes. Therefore, the prices of
these commodities will be down.
The cltros fruit supply will be
much shorter and the price higher.
Estimates for a moderate-cost
food plan, based on August 1958
pirces, indicate that per week, it
corts $4.50 to feed a 3-year-old boy,
$11.50 to feed a 16-year-old boy
and $8.50 to feed a 75-year-old man.
The strong demand for market
ing service accounts for the vast
difference in producer prices and
consumer food prices. The food
supply for 1959 will be greater
than during 1958 but additional
marketing services will be added.
Therefore, the consumer price in
general will remain at about the
same level.
The amount spent for services
has increased to record levels. If
participation in the labor force
follows the pattern expected for
married women, more of them
will be in labor force each future
year. The consumer demand for
Mdtki Itttvices if czpecUd to in
cre?6? accordingly.

Personal incomes are at an all

ever, the spending patterns of
both farm and urban families
show that families are spending
more on all phases of family liv
ing items than ever before. The
big challenge is how to plan to
minimize risk, and to promote
greater satisfaction in family liv

This challenge must be met by
each family, and must include
good, long-range planning and

High School Students
Attend Folklore Meeting
Oil Friday. Dec. 5, Tucker Little
ton took nine of his English stu
dents at Beaufort High School to
the annual meeting of the North
Carolina Folklore Society at the
Hotel Sir Walter in Raleigh.
Attending the meeting as guests
of Mr. Littleton, who is a member
of the North Carolina Folklore So
ciety, were Mary Sue Moore, Nor
ma Jean Garner, Bruce Cayton,
Kit Jones, ?pd Jack Lewis, sen
iors; Jerry Pulford, Wiley How
ard Lewis. Jr., Ivey Grabam, and
MeRfotfl 0< the senior English
classes this year are working on
a project in local folklore, with
special attention to the collecting
of chanteys. This year's juniors
had experience last year in col
lecting some local talcs that will
be published in the July 1959 issue
of North Carolina Folklore. These
projects in local folklore make
very good parallel studies for units
of literature dealing with ballads
and other folk literature of Eng
land and America.
Theme of the meeting in Raleigh
was Our Scottish-American Heri
tage. Pipe Major Jack Smith, a
native of Ayr, Scotland, now liv-'
ing in Winston-Salem, led the of
ficers of the society into the Vir
ginia Dare Ball Room with the
music of his bagpipe.
After a talk on our Scottish heri
tage in North Carolina by Donald
McDonald, the society enjoyed sev
eral country and folk dances of
Scotland performed by the Fay
ettevillc senior high school dan
cers, Benhavcn Scottish Dancers
of Olivia, and the Queen City's
Own Scottish Dancers of Char
lotte.
Each girl dressed in a colorful
arasaidh, the ancient feminine
Scottish garb, and each man
dressed in a kilt gave an atmos
phere of ancient Scotland while
dancing the traditional ateps to
folk music of old Scotia.
Following the several Scottish
reels and danccs, Phillip Kennedy
of Charlotte sang in Gaelie two
songs which he had collected from
the Hebrides and concluded his
part of the program by singing In
authentic Scottish style Robert
Burns's familiar "My Love Is Like
a Red, Red Rose."
The strange souads of Gaelic
made students aware of the many
chants that have taken place in
the development of the English
language.
Mrs Betty Valden Williams, the
era! American folk songs of Scot
tish origin which she had collected
in the mountains of North Caro
lina. Several times the music of
Mr. Smith's bagpipe accompanied
the danccs, and the final dance
which he accompanied was the
Highland Kling. Several of the folk
danccs tied in very well with Eng
lish literature.
One dance was said to have ori
ginated when Macbeth was slain
by Malcolm, who threw his sword
down and danced around it. Ano
ther dance, America, was de
scribed and passed down to us by
James Boswell, the famous bio
grapher of Dr. Johnson.
A short business session followed
the program, after which mem
bers of the society were invited
to Governor Hodgcs's reception at
the Executive Mansion. The high
school students, however, bad to
be back in Beaufort before late
hours and left before the recep
tion.
