POPCORN PRICES
Popcorn ? that favorite evening snack
of many families ? may be wearing a
higher price tag this year.
And there are several reasons for this
increase. The main one is less supply.
The 1974 popcorn yields were hurt
by the summer drought in some parts of
the country. And there was less left
from the 1973 crop to carry over to this
year.
Also, the strong prices for field corn
and soybeans have caused popcorn
farmers to put less of their acres and
time into this speciality crop.
On the demand side ? popcorn lovers
haven't lost their taste for this favorite
snack.
The result is higher prices for those
who still want crunchy popcorn along
with their cozy fire, book, friends or
television program on a frosty winter
evening.
MANY POTATOES
Remember the old count off game -
"one potato, two potato?" The chant
ended "seven potato - more." And
that's the situation with potatoes this
season ? more.
For storage potatoes ate plentiful and
will be in record quantity. And frozen
potato supplies are plentiful too. So any
way you want them - potatoes should
be a good buy.
If storage potatoes are your choice,
select well - shaped firm potatoes that
are free from blemishes, sunburn and
decay. And, avoid those with large cuts
or bruises.
On the other hand - when buying
frozen French Fries, look for a
government grade on the packages.
Those marked U.S. tirade A ? or Fancy
fries ? arc top quality in color, size,
shape and texture.
Or, if there is no grade on the
package, but the fries are in see.
through packages, you can check for
quality yourself. The best fries are a
uniform, light color. The pieces are
uniform in width - but not necessarily in
length - and have few. if any, dark spots
or other defects.
So while the price is right and
supplies are plentiful - serve potatoes
often. Especially if your family is a
meat - and - potatoes type family
anyway.

Banks Are Topic For Books
By Frances Edwards
"Our banking system grew by
accident: and whenever something
happens by accident, it becomes a
religion. As with other religions, the
high priests of American banking have
come to consider almost any criticism
and questioning of their system and
power as something akin to mortal sin,"
Martin Mayer has given a provocative
and timely chronicle of the revolution
that since the I'XiOs has enveloped the
US banking community in his latest
book. The Bankers. SI 5.00.
Banks are our central economic
institution; what they do matters to us
all even though we might not
understand their "doings."
Computers, electronic
communications networks. CDs.
Eurodollars, federal funds, are just a few
items requiring that today's bank
leadership be determined by brains
rather than "connections".
On one level. The Bankers is a
journey through a world few of us have
or will ever see: global banks of New
York. Chicago, San Francisco. London,
and Zurich; the suburban banks of
Florida. New York, and Missouri and
the local banks in Iowa and Arizona.
On another level. The Bankers reveals
a lot about the day ? to ? day operations
of the hanking system, the women who
run the machines that encode the
checks, the couriers, the computers,
people at the trading desks, the young
lending officers, and bank examiners.
Mayer tries to explain why some banks
can offer color TV sets in exchange for
new deposits while others offer china,
silver, or a dull carving knife ~ or
nothing. He talks about credit cards and
travelers' checks. Still, I did not really
understand The Bankers.
Two novels involving banks and
billions of dollars are Billion Dollar Sure
Thing and Silver Bears, both by Paul
Frdman who served a b month prison
term in Switzerland because the hank
collapsed - the bank of which he was
president. These are novels of intrigue in
the money world written by a monetary
expert. The action takes place in the
international finance arena where Swiss
bankeis tangle with speculators from
the Near hast: where Russia takes on
the US in a power struggle over the
future of gold, the dollar, and ruble.
The story moves from Switzerland to
Washington, Inn don. Paris. Moscow and
Beirut.
Morris West's Harlequin, $8.00. has a
target to take over a higltiy reputable
family ? owned Swiss bank with
branches in a number of world capitals:
the family name is Harlequin, Men,
through sophisticated use of computers,
literally program human beings to
murderous acts, assemble the personnel
and procedures for hijacking or
kidnapping.a quiet assassination here and
there. Focus is on the new wholesalers
of violence bul at the same time, the
story explores in depth a contemporary
phenomenon both fateful and
terrifying. It poses deeply disturbing
questions; for example, in a lawless
society,in taWngthetaw
into his own hands'JwAgain, mTtftory
moves back and forth between Geneva,
London. Washington. Mexico, City,
New York. "Hawaii 5-0" fans will recall
recent programs dealing with the above -
programs which held my interest only
because they seemed so unreal'.1

RWC Seeking
New Glass Site
Sponsors are looking for a new site
for the glass recycling project.
While the collection point by the
health department is convenient, the
probability of problems this summer
stemming from glass left near the
heavily-used Softball park is obvious.
Mrs. Kay Thomas, president of Raeford
Woman's Club said.
The recycling project is still popular,
she said, with large numbers of bottles
being deposited. All returnable green,
brown and white glass can be reused,
she said.
