He was in the United States and for the first time, visiting a friend, Cruvant Altman. When asked if the Tahitian natives really wore sarongs, Charlie said, "Oh, I put on san dals and the women wear dress es when we go to the city of Papeete, but otherwise one wears only a sarong. Why more?" Charlie, whose real name is Aruteurira Terutahi, admitted he liked the United States. "I like your ice cream and your buildings. And your girls are very nice, even if some of them put too much paint on their faces. Dorothy Lamour is very nice, and Rita Hay worth ah!" He owns a 400-acre plantation on the island that produces va nilla, coconuts, copra, grapefruit, bananas, oranges and a fruit called the Tahitian apple. Asked why he was so anxious to return home, he quoted a line from the island's ancient love song: "No matter how far you wander, you always think of Tahiti." PROLIFERATING PETS PEEVE PAPA CHAMPAIGN, 111. (U.R) When Richard Brown told his son he could take his pets home on a return trip from Springfield, 111., he got more than he bargained for. While they were preparing to return to Champaign the pet dog had five pups, a pet rabbit had seven offspring, and 14 chicks which Brown's parents had been keeping had bceome grown chickens. Brown said it was the largest number of "passengers" he ever had in the car. The Oklahoma A. and M. Col lege at Stillwater derives its support from both state and fed eral governments. Beer Retailers: When in Doubt Do Not Sell! In Nebraska, the law forbids the sale of beer to minors under age 21. Ever' retailer must refuse to sell beer to anyone who is not of legal age to make the pur chase. It is to the beer retailer's high credit that when in doubt he does not sell. Likewise, the beer retailer merits cooperation from the public. Do not ask him to sell beer contrary to law and do not object when the retailer "leans backward" to be sure he is right. Citizens can help us by report ing to this Committee, in con fidence, any fact involving the sale of beer which violates the law or the sensibilities of the public. Then, after thorough investigation, such steps will be taken by this office as seem warranted. NEBRASKA COMMITTEE United States Brewers F 'nuttAitinn iovj" Charles E.

Housewives Buy Fewer Groceries CHICAGO (U.R) Housewives are buving fewer groceries but are using more spices in home menus, a survev bv Northwestern University disclosed. The "pantry poll", which has iust finished its second year, found that a tendency to sor-v fewer groceries bfean on V-.I Day and has continued down ward in many categories. Charles L. Allen, assistant dean of Nnrthwestern's MediH School of Journalism, is con ducting the continuing poll. Allen said he had not deter mined whether the trend was the result of using up long stored supplies or an increasing resistance to high prices. Less Canned Goods "At any rate, our poll indi cates that families are stocking less and less canned goods," he said A major decline was found in the number of persons stock ing white and dark bread. In August, 1946, 85 percent of the families polled stocked white bread, while the percentage dropped to 62 in the same month of 1947. A summary of dark bread showed a drop from 35 percent to 18 percent over the same period. The survey indicated that more women were baking at home, however. Among the few grocery items which enjoyed purchase in creases were cake flour, regu lar flour, baking powder, corn meal, flour mixes and cracker meal. Taking: Life Easier The survey, which covered families from all socio-economic population groups in a large metropolitan area, showed a trend toward "taking life a little easier." Regular coffee and tea purchas es dropped about eight percent, but "instant" coffee doubled and tea bags rose from 32 to 50 per cent. In sharp contrast was the buy ing of spices. In August, 1946, just six percent of the pantry shelves were stocked with spices, but in 1947 the figure was 88 percent. Fats and shortenings also suf fered considerable declines in percentage.
