It’s so easy to fall into the habit of serving the same foods over and over. Of course, with food prices still at their highest peak, homemakers with limited food budgets are tempted to stick to 'the lower-cost foods day- after day. Monotyony may creep into meals—when ithe same foods are repeated without varying the form of serving them. The other day a homemaker told me that her market order of groceries from a particular store had not varied tor four years. She thought she kept her grocery bill in this way. In such cases families may exhibit tired appetites and eat less of the essential foods. Food waste may also occur and good nutrition may suffer. IS etc Ideas ISeeded Meal planning takes more time when one is watching the bud&et and it also requires more skill to prepare low-cost foods tastily and attractively. Instead of throwing up yo r hands—and saying youTre doing the best you can with food prices as they are, —maybe some new ideas can help. There are tasty ways of serving cheaper cuts of neat—as beef heart, or low-cost Fruits—as prunes, that you may tot have heard of. I’ve seen child Yarbo, long time city actress.] will have the important role of “NIGHTEhGALE in the Joe: Pas^ ternak production of “A Date with Judy” which stars Wallace Berry Robert Stack, Jane Powell and Xavier Cugat. Miss Yarbo. last seen as a schoolgirl in “A/y Brother Talks To Horses”. will sing a group of spirituals with Wallace Berry in the new flicker, as the trusted family housekeeper. ren accept prunes day after day in a new combination. This is possible with all the low-cost foods. Consulation Service For ideas with low-cost foods— Red Cross Nutrition Service can help you. Meal planning classes are now being arranged.

Glassco £tuck h)s ha*nd in his pocket as though he was going to reach for something. Geneva pulled a knife she had conceal ed in her pocketbook, stricking at Robert, missing him and cut ting herself on the left wrist. Police booked Glassco for drunkness, Disturbing the peace and fighting. Geneva was booked for disturb ing the peace by fighting. In police court Monday morn ing, February 9th., before Judge Dennis O’Brien they were dis missed because of Glassco re fusal to testify against Geneva for trying to cut him. According to your Honor the Judge O’Brien as stated to this reporter after the trail and in a case similar to this in Police Court. Much pressure is brought on the Judges tfor not giving out the severest penalty * and in some persons in various civic organiz ations have become eery out spoken about it. The Judges hands are tied because when a case such as the Reed and Glas sco case and the Mallory and Burn case come up, the two make up before the trail and refuse to testify against the other thus it causes the Judge either to have to dismiss the case entirely or place a fine for the cost of the court.’ Until this situation has a remedy, continued cases such as these will be turned out of court for lack of sufficient evidence to proscute.
