If you want to enjoy budget-beating holiday eating, join the
Easter parade of thrifty shoppers ... to A&P! I don't know
of a better place to buy festive foods at everyday prices. And
the variety is so big you'll get lots of grand ideas just by brows
ing around. Here are a few I came home with recently:
SMART BUNNY SALAD
Half a peeled fresh pear makes a
honey of a bunny when you place
it c; ,fl clown on shredded
preens, insert al
monds for ears
.? mi whole cloves
fo.r features; and
a ball of
cheese for

MAYONNAISE ? -nmy
smooth mayonnaise wo. n by the
season's best-dressed salads.
TRIO OF TOPPERS
Because no one hat style suits
every taste, there are dozens of
different Easter bonnets. And be
cause no one coffee flavor suits
every taste either, there are 3 dif
ferent blends of A&P COFFEE
. . . EIGHT O'CLOCK (mild).
RED CIRCLE (medium) and
BOKAR (strong) . They're all tops
. . . all sold in the whole bean, J
and Custom Ground when you buy,
just right for best results in your
coffeemaker. So voice your choice
. . . and rejoice! <
BEST NEST
Wondering how to use all the eggs
the Easter Bunny's going to
bring? Here's a suggestion: Let
the shelled eggs stand In beet Juico
till they're blushing prettily, place
each one in a nest of fresh-tasting '
A&P CANNED SPINACH, and
arrange around your ham or roast.

1947
America's demand for oil trite all-time high, .surpassing even war years,
i above chart shows.
America s use of oil rose to its
all-time high in 1947 as a result
of increases as high as 511 percent
since 1941. the last prewar year, in
the number of oil-consuming units,
the Oil Industry Information Com
mittee said today in a statement
commenting on the factors that
have contributed to a critical fuel
situation in this area as abnormally
cold weather swept the nation.
The committee warned local resi
dents that even with an early break
In the winter, it wUl be important
for consumers to continue to save
oil in view of the record demand
and the depletion of stocks in stor
age caused by the weather already
experienced. In the Mid-West the
first half of the winter ranged from
7 percent to 22 percent colder than
last year, while in the East it was
from 18 percent to 29 percent colder,
The increase of 511 percent was
in the installation of Diesel engines,
the committee explained. In the
homo oil burner field, the Commit
tee said, the postwar yearly instal
lation rate of burners has more than
trebled that of any prewar decade,
amounting to more than half a
million a year as compared with
less than 150,000 in the decade 1931
1940. The result has been an in
crease of 69 percent since 1941 in
demand for the type of oil used in
home heating.
Where the overall demand for oil
was only 23 percent above the pre
mar peak at the height of the war,
ba? been 34 percent above that
pe.vk !n the past year, the Com
nH:*< ?.sprained.
Other factors, ill addition to
Diesels and oil burner installations,
cited as increasing; the demand for
all types of petroleum products, in
cluding gasoline, kerosene and the
heavy oil used In industry and on
ships, include an increase of more
than two million motor vehicles in
1947 as compared with 1941; a 51
percent increase in the number of
tractors on farms; and a jump of
174 percent in the number of lique
fied petroleum gas users.
Since last May the industry,
through its information services,
has sought to keep the public tware
of the situation that was developing,
and companies in the industry have
informed the public that they should
j install oil burning equipment only
when an assured oil supply was
available.
Some of the methods under
taken by members of the indus
try to meet the critical situation
include: adoption of a seven-day
week loading and unloading of tank
cars; increasing the amount of fuel
cil produced per barrel as compared
with other products; and sustained
operation of processing plants by
shortening scheduled shutdowns for
repair and cleaning.
Despite postwar shortages of steel
and other materials, the committee
said, the Industry is striving to
complete a four billion dollar ex
pansion program by the end of 1948.
In the meantime, it is embarked
on a program of promoting efficient
use of petroleum products.
