J The cbst of food Is a frequent topic for conversation, And while everyone agrees that A good part of the weekly pay meek goes in this way, few are . #illing to forego the pleasure a good meal just to have jiiore money in their pocket. Recently, an expert gav>» some figures which may make It easier for the homemaker to - decide the wisest choice, from the standpoint of economy, between "ready to serve" and ••prepared in home kitchen" meals, and the answer is mosi likely to be decided by whether the cook is a working wife. We are told that three "ready to serve" meals costing $6.70 for a family of four for one day could be prepared in the home kitchen for $4.90, or $1 .80 less. However, the "read} to (serve" meals cost the homemaker only one and one-hall hours of her time, compared with about five and one-hall hours for the , three homeeooked meals. The food cos', savings of $1.80 in the three home-cooked meals represent* 00 hourly wage of about fifty otnts for the four extra hour* Of work in preparing them. iWe are also informed that most people of the world spend half their disposable income for food, while we spend aboui a fifth-- 20 per cent in 1960.

Their accompanists received much praise also for the work done. Mrs. Hawkinson, Speech teacher at the high school gave a humorous reading on Mommy being in the P.T.A.

He spoke about the customs at home as compared to here, and compared our educational systems. His style at describing three teaspoons of sugar in a glass of milk before he could swallow it brought the house down, and made all present realize that here was a boy who could be a comedian if his heart wasn't .so set on becoming a doctor.
