Consumer
Information For
Holiday Chefs
When selecting candied fruits
and nuts for holiday baking and
snacking, check the prices of
the various size packages. Gen-
erally, the larger the quantity,
the lower the cost per ounce,
says Mrs. Gwen Clyatt, Exten-
sion consumer marketing spe-
cialist.
“Since these holiday treats
are family favorites even after
the holidays are gone, consider
selecting the larger packages.
The candied fruits keep well in mered in liquid,
air-tight jars, and unused nuts Pork prices are down, so pork
store well In the freezer,” Mrs. I chops, roasts, spareribs and oth-
Clyatt says.
Supplies of walnuts, filberts
and almonds are expected to be
large this year. Pecan produc-
tion will be smaller than usual,
however, harvest forecasts indi-
cate.
Good eating at low prices is
available for consumers who
look to the less tender cuts of
beef, such as pot roasts and
stew meats. The current abun-
dant beef supplies make these
cuts even more of a bargain
than usual.
Select roasts or steaks from
the chuck or round, sirloin tip,
brisket and short ribs — all of
which should be braised or sim-
er fresh pork cuts are good val-
ues this week.
Fresh vegetable selections
continue varied and good quali-
ty. These include eggplant,
cauliflower, collards, mustard
greens, head lettuce, rutabagas,
and sweet potatoes.
Apples continue plentiful,
with bagging sizes the most
reasonable in price. Citrus
items, especially grapefruit and
oranges, are cheaper by the bag.
Prices are lower this week on
small size tangerines. Bananas
show good quality at pleasing
prices, and cranberries, grapes
and pears are other good fruit
choices.

New Textile
Developed For
Home Furnishings
Recent textile developments
giving cotton fabrics a new
stretch property may help fur-
niture manufacturers In the
near future to offer lower priced
upholstered furniture to con-
sumers, says Mrs. Jane Berry,
Extension housing-home fur-
nishings specialist.
Accelerated production with
the use of molded cotton fab-
rics and the elimination of a
great portion of the costly hand
labor required in present uphol-
stery methods may mean that
tomorrow’s furniture buyer may
be able to stretch her furniture
dollar further than ever before.
These predictions are based
on the outcomes of research
currently being done on stretch
cottons by the Southern Utiliza-
tion Research Laboratory in
New Orleans, Mrs. Berry ex-
plained. Scientists have develop-
ed a method of molding cotton
fabrics onto three dimensional
shapes by treating cotton
Stretch fabric with chemicals
which cause the fabric to re-
tain the contour of the mold
used.
Molded cotton fabrics will
offer a number of advantages to
both manufacturers and to con-
sumers. The molding process is
almost certain to eliminate
many hand operations neces-
sary in stitching several pieces
of fabric together to fit dif-
ferent contours in both furni-
ture upholstery and apparel in-
dustries.
Production will definitely be
much faster in both fields. It is
assumed that savings in the cost
of production will be passed on
to consumers in the form of
quality goods at lower prices,
the specialist said.
Though it is still in the ex-
perimental testing stage, home-
makers in the future will be
able to take advantage of this
new textile development in both
the apparel and home furnish-
ings purchases she makes,.
Consumers Show
More Interest
Ini Research
Consumers are becoming more
concerned with research. The
purchases they make in the
market place are the basic cri-
terion used by industry as indi-
cator of demand and the key
guide for further research.
Driver’s Seat
A horse jumped into the front
seat of a car on a highway
north of Los Angeles recently.
Really!
Gordon F. Buck, Jr„ 29, was
driving north from Los Angeles
on Alternate U. S. 101 in his
,'Porsche convertible when he
collided with the horse. The
impact flipped the horse up in
the air, the car drove under
him, and the horse came down
in the front passenger seat
Though bruised, the horse got
out and galloped away without
even thanking Buck for the
ride.
When the animal kingdom
ventures into the domain of the
iron horse, there are frequent
clashes like this.
A pigeon proved that it’s as
big as a horse when it comes
to combat with cars. One of the
feathered friends nonchalantly
ambled across Chicago’s Lake
Shore Drive during a rush hour
a few weeks back. A woman
driver slammed on the brakes
and halted in the stream of
traffic. The driver of the first
car behind her spun his steer
ing wheel to nose his car into
an empty spot in the next lane
— but he missed the lady driver
with an aversion to squashed
pigeon by only inches.
Driving schools always tell
their students to hit a dog, or
any other animal which darts
into the paths of their cars,
rather than turning quickly and
climbing a utility pole. They
suggest that drivers save their
own lives rather than the dogs’.
This business of animals on
highways often is more dan-
gerous than diverting. The
"Deer Crossing” signs in Michi-
gan’s Upper Peninsula, as else-
where in the country, aren’t
kidding. It’s not unusual for a
deer to leap through a wind-
shield.
The bears on the roads in
Yellowstone and Glacier Na-
tional Parks, on the other hand,
usually are harmless. Rarely
does a car hit a bear. Most acci-
dents occur when tourists stop
to feed the bears and approach
so closely that the bears try to
feed on them.
Improved pine Christmas
trees, adorned with their own
ornaments of decorative cones,
probably will be available in
about eight years. Scientists at
the USDA's Institute of Forest
Genetics at Placerville, Calif.,
are developing such a Christmas
tree by crossing Sierra Nevada
lodgepine with the shore pine.
The resulting hybrid grows to
G feet within 4 to 5 years. From
its thick dark green foliage this
jna.dj>-to-order tree grows its
own decorative cones at 5 years
of age just as it reaches Christ-
mas tree size, the scientists say.
Growers are to get the trees
for field testing in 1967.
Consumers also are becoming
more sophisticated and selective,
says Mrs. Eula J. Newman, Ex-
tension Service home manage-
ment specialist at Texas A.&M.
University. They are doing
more label-reading and packing
investigation before buying at
the market. For example, the
words “instant” and “conven-
ience” means different things.
Comparative costs of different
forms of the same food get
more attention.
Consumers are beneiting from
a highly mechanized, techno-
Jogically-orientcd society. The
multiple effects of change cre-
ates economic growth. Con-
sumers in Nebraska can have
on their table in any season the
same food as those in Maine
and Florida.
The primary goal of research-
ers is to improve the income po-
sition of producers and the sat-
isfaction of the consumer. This
is done through improved qual-
ity and amount of products,
greater convenience in use and
even lower prices.
