WASHINGTON ? Mrs. George
O. Larrick, wife of the commission
er of the Food and Drug Adminis
tration, not only practices jyhat her
husband preaches, she preaches it
too.
Larrick contends that the aver
age housewife while shopping with
a great deal of care comparing
prices of food articles and trying
to economize on the family budget
doesn't always compare the quality
and composition, including the
weight, of certain items.
"If housewives would take the
trouble to read the labels they'd

find that often what they save in '
a tew cents on one item, they lose
? In quantity and quality," Mrs. Lar
trlck says. "The labels tell them
in black and white, very simply,
what they are getting. Maybe the
Item that costs a little more,
though in a package or container
the same size, may weigh a little
more, be 6f better quality, and
stretch farther."
Mrs. Larrick, who attended
Wittenberg College, Springfield,
Ohio, where she met her husband, 1
and who received her B.S. degree '
in education at Ohio State, is active 1
in home demonstration work. Sne .
says all housewives are eager for
more information in all fields re- 1
lating to better home making and 1
family budgeting.
The Larricks, who have four
children and one grandchild, "keep
busy" weekends and vacations on i
their five-acre farm near Dahlgren, j
Va., 60 miles from here. Recently i
Mrs. Larrick gave her husband a- ]
200-pound ram for the sheep which
she says they got for "lawnmow
ers."
"We thought we'd like some lamb 1
chops too." said the practical lady.
rbe Commissioner and his wife
raise strawberries, horseradish and
Dther vegetables in their half-acre
gaiden. They added to the 40 fruit
trees they found on the place, some
fig and nut trees, and grapes.
During the summer and early Fall,
Mrs. Larrick stocks up the freezer
with the good things that she pre
pares from the garden and orchard,
but the family's chief interest in
the farm which is on the Potomac,
is in fishing and crabbing. Mrs.
Larrick is the carpenter of the fam
ily. ?
"I built more of the shelves
than anyone else," she told me.
T.he Larricks' married son, Ben,

daughter, Laura, is a sociology stu

In much of New England, day

ihe practice is spreading to other
localities.

more than 60 years old, says the

IT didn't take the car buyers of the nation
very long to discover that this year
Buick's the car with more headline news
than a newspaper.
And the news is so good.?in styling, in.
power, in performance, and in price ? that
Huick sales are soaring to an all-time best
setter high.
But even in a long list of standout develop
ments engineered by Buick for 1955, two are
so "hot," they stand out as the sensations of
the year, by far.
One is the new kind of automobile you see
pictured here...
The 4-Poor Riviera ? a new kind of body
design...
A true hardtop with no center doorposts to
obstruct your view to the sides ?yet with

,
separate doors for rear-seat passengers,
plus full Buick-size Sedan room for all.
The other sensation ? and we mean that
literally ?is a new kind of automatic
transmission....
Variable Pitch Dynaflow ? a new kind of
magic principled after the modern plane's
switch-pitch propeller...
A silk-smooth wonder drive with twenty
propeller-like blades that angle one way for
extra gas mileage in cruising ? then switch
their pitch when you press the pedal way
down to give you an instantaneous burst of
getaway or accelerating ppwer when you
need a safety surge split-second quick.
