TIPS FOR SMART
SHOPPING
Plan ahead. If possible, ..
plan menus for a week at a
time. Buy staples such as
flour, sugar and corn meal
monthly or bi-monthly;
check what's on hand before
shopping. Remember, most
grocery products cost less ,
per serving when you buy
larger packages.
As you plan menus, check
newspaper ads for weekly
specials and sales. You can
save money at sales if the
food store is near you, if the
food is of a good quality for
your needs and if you have
enough good places to keep
it. Check your local papers
to find out which days
supermarket ads appear.
Handbills and circulars
handed out at the store also
list sale items.
Make a shopping list;
write down items as you
think of them through the
week.' Group the items by
the way you find them in
your store; this will save
time and steps. Take your
pencil along and check off
items as selected. Usually i
stick to (he list, but if you'
discover a better buy at the
store, substitute. Write
down prices and add them
up as you go through the
store so you don't spend
more money than you
planned.
Prices of fresh fruits and
vegetables change with the
season. Buy seasonal fresh
foods when most plentiful in
your area.
Compare costs of different
forms of foods (fresh,
frozen, canned, dried, etc.).
To find the best buy, divide
the price by the number of
servings. The lower price
per serving is the thiftiest
choice. And don't forget, if
you want to buy foods that
are already prepared by the
manufacturer, like a frozen
pizza, you'll usually have to
pay considerably more than
if you made the pizza
yourself.
Read labels to learn
quality, size and weight.
You do not need to buy fancy
grades of fruits and
vegetables, especially for
. use in stews, soups, fruit
puddingsor pies. Nutrition
is the same and flavor Is
often just as good in lower
grades.
Remember, non-food
items are not pan 01 me
food bill. You might buy
laundry supplies, hose,
cosmetics or magazines in
the supermarket, but you
should keep these things
separate from your food
budget.
Buy enriched, whole grain
or restored cereals, bread,
corn meal, grits, flour and
macaroni products for extra
nutrition. You get more
vitamins and minerals in
these products and the cost
is usually the same.
Buy fortified milk for its
extra vitamins and
minerals.
Shop for foods rich in
Vitamin C, such as orange
juice, grapefruit, tomatoes,
cabbage and green peppers.
Many fruit juices and drinks,:
also contain added Vitamin'
C. :
' Shop for foods rich in iron,
such as liver, eggs, raisins,
greens, dry beans. This is
important for all women,
particularly for young
mothers" and pregnant
' women. , -. , v
Shop for foods rich in
calcium, such as milk,
. cheese and greens.
When you reach home, put
food away quickly and
properly to avoid spoiling
and waste. This is especially
important for refrigerator
items such as meat, fish,
' poultry, eggs, milk and
frozen foods.
STORAGE TIPS ,
(a) Keep cereals,
crackers and other crisp
foods on a cool, dry shelf.
Fold down the inner
wrapping of cereal
. packages before closing the
box top to keep cereal fresh
' and crisp.
(b) Keep potatoes and
onions in a cool, dark place
in the kitchen or pantry
where air can circulate
around them. Do not keep
potatoes and onions under
the sink because it is too
warm and damp.
(c) Keep sugar, flour,
corn meal, oatmeal, rice,
spices and other dry foods in
a ary place at room
temperature,. Always use
the oldest of these foods first
when you buy a new supply.
For example, empty the
flour can completely before
filling again. If possible,
keep , ; coffee in the
refrigerator.
(d) Keep foods like jelly,
pickles, peanut butter and
mustard in the refrigerator
only if the label says
"refrigerate after
opening." Otherwise they
take up refrigerator space
you could use for something
else.
MORE MILK
The number of dairy
oows in North Carolina
continues to. go down but
the amount of milk
produced continues to
rise. The state is one of
only eight In the country
that produced more milk
the first half of 1973 than
during the same period
last year. The Tar Heel
Increase was 1 percent.
Dairy cow numbers have
dropped by about. 5,000
head since last year.

GETTING BETTER
Farmers continue to
become more efficient.
Total farm output rose
14 percent in the last
decade. Crop produc
tion per fanner rose
almost 16 percent and
farm output per manhour
rose an amazing 69
percent.
Discovers Purpose
When Mrs. Willie Morgan
of Tomahawk told her
pastor 15 years ago the Lord
hada reasonf orsparingher
life in two automobile
accidents, she had atft
discovered that purpose.
Today she has.
In 1967 Mr, arid Mrs.
Morgan became foster
parents for the Baptist
Children's Homes of North
Carolina, Inc. Since that
time, they have cared for
seven dependent and
neglected children. The
Morgans consider their work
a calling of God.
Presently they care for
four foster boys, ranging in
ages from 8 to 17. The
Morgan's grown daughter,
Lutricia, also lives in the
home and they have one son,
Gene, who recently married
die sister of two of the foster
boys his parents keep.
Morgan is with the
highway maintainence
department working in
Sampson County,
Mrs. Morgan's mother has
kept foster children for 'the
Bladen Co. Dept.-of Social
Services for a number of
years. However, the
Morgans say they decided to
look into the possibilities
after they read an
advertisement in the
Children's Homes bi
monthly newspaper,
CharityandChildren"about
"becoming foster parents.
Fall Fashion
Forecast
RALEIGH This
year's look in woniens'
fashions Is called the
"put-together" look.
The new silhouette
being shown for fall has
a full, loose top with a
slimmer base fewer
pleats and more A-line
and straight-skirt styles,
says Dorothy Barrier,
extension clothing spe
cialist, North Carolina
State University.
The suit and the two
piece dress are being -shown.
; Cardigans are ;
doubling as 'suit jackets
and even, as sweater
dresses,' while quilted
jackets or toppers also
add to the "put-together"
look. ;
Dresses have folds
and soft draping lines
from the use of soft
fabrics, especially matte
jersey, the specialist
observes.
The Morgan's first two
foster boys lived in the home
11 months; they then kept a
girl for three years. Two of
the boys they care for now,
Henry and James Tingle,
have been in their home
almost five years.
Mrs. Morgan records the
dates each child arrives and
leaves in the family Bible,
because as she says, "We're
really a family within a
family' Of course,
baptismal dates are listed -there
too and two of the
boys, James Tingle and
Gene "Buddy" Pope, were
recently baptized at the
family's Riverside Baptist
Church in Tomahawk, N.C.
The Morgans have
experienced everything in
their foster parent careers
from rheumatic fever to
Rocky Mountain spotted
fever.. .but "You learn to
love them regardless," the
mother claimed.
One foster boy wants to be
a doctor and the Morgans
say they'll help him do this.
Another boy is a talented
artist and had his drawings
selected to go in the school
yearbook. One boy works as
receptionist at the school
they attend.
After school, there are
chores for the boys-two
cows to milk and hogs to
feed. The youngsters work
in the family garden and
pick blueberries and
tobacco in the summertime.
IN
APPRECIATION

this opportunity to
express my appreciation
to the many people who
remembered me while
I was a patient in the
Norfolk General llos-
pital and since I have
been at home recti
Iterating, for the many
beautiful cards, lovely
flower arrangements,
plants, gifts, visits, food, ,
phone calls.
I thank yon.

By Marion Swindell
We hear often these days
about the poor in America,
and we are all aware that
this great country of ours
has poor people. What
makes a person poor? The
'lack of money, yes! But
that is not all that makes a
'person poor. Money is
needed to keep them alive
land healthy. But something
Jtnore is needed. These
people must be understood,
In other words, more
hearts need to go out to the
poor.
It must be wretched to '
not have the . food and
clothes a person needs, but
the deepest feeling of
'despair must come when
no one seems to care.
Friendliness and concern
is something all people can
offer. It doesn't cost much.
To greet a person with a
smile is a costless effort.
To greet them with concern
requires greatness, and
how many possess this?
. OUR THOUGHT TO
'REMEMBER: "Care and
. concern go hahd-in-hand."
