Jack Gwaltney, a vocational agricultural teacher, and his supervisor, Tom Downing, discussed the idea of a mens' club which would bring town and coun try people together in order that they might become bet ter acquainted with one another and in this relation ship be able to solve some of the community problems. The Rotary Club of Suf folk, Va. assisted the new club in writing a constitution and within three years, five Ruritan Clubs joined together to call themselves Ruritan National. Since that time, Ruritan has grown to over 1,300 clubs with 37,000 members in 30 states Lowery pointed out.

M B. TAYLOR Home Economics Extension Agent FREEZER CONTAINERS The right freezer container can make the difference bet ween a quality frozen product and one that's so-so. But choosing the right container isn't easy, especially when you have a choice of plastic containers, glass jars, metal cans, polyethylene bags and boil-in-bags pouches. Plastic containers come in several sizes and shapes. Square or rectangular cartons take up less space than round ones do. Some of the less expensive cartons will crack add split easily ? so you may save money by selecting the best quality available. You can buy dual-purpose jars for either canning or freez ing. These jars withstand a wide temperature range and are tapered so frozen foods can be removed easily. : Metal cans, including coffee, shortening, fruit, vegetable and meat cans, are economical. And you can buy plastic lids that will fit the metal cans snugly. '.Polyethylene bags are one of the most economical packaging materials. But if you choose them, be sure they are at least 1.005 milimeters thick. :And as you shop, keep in mind that boil-in-bag freezer pouches are especially good for foods that are hard to reheat or that are easy to overcook. COPING WITH INFLATION ;How to slow down the spiral of increasing wages and prices is of great concern to many of us. So some Tar Heels are taking matters into their own hands by looking for ways to ''tighten the family belt." -For example, many families are being more selective with their shopping, taking the time to compare price and qpality. ?Some families are taking advantage of sales and specials aild others are eating fewer meals away from home. ;Some people are doing away with long vacations, opting uistead for camping trips or other low-cost holidays. ;And do-it-yourself is catching on. More and more of us are doing our own home improvements or tinkering with our ofm cars. ?There's the home haircut and the home sewing boom. And nuny savvy homemakers are finding ways to recycle cftrthes for longer wear. -It all adds up to this. How a family declares its private on inflation is a personal choice. ; While some will try to cut food cots, others will worry fttfout transportation or medical care. - Jt all boils down to what your family thinks is very impor tftit and less than very important.
