Count Your Pennies
COLLEGE STATION — When
pennies count consider thrifty
trades. One of the first targets in
a family economy drive often is the
food budget, reached without sacri-
ficing either good food or good nu-
trition.
That takes a keen sense of health-
ful food values in relation to food
costs, plus good judgement. Basical-
ly, it calls for choices made from
each of the four food groups—
meat-eggs; milk-cheese; vegetable-
fruit; and bread-cereals.
For a starter, Gwendolyne Clyatt,
specialist suggests the following:
HIGH COST—Calve’s liver, froz-
en halibut steaks, prime rib beef
roast, porterhouse steak, ground
sirloin, canned red salmon, sweet-
breads, center sliced ham, fresh
orange juice, wheat flake3, whole
milk, fancy sweet rolls, soft drink.
MODERATE COST—beef liver,
frozen cod or haddock, rump roast,
rib steak, ground beef, canned pink
salmon, tongue, ham shank, frozen
orange juice, shredded wheat, evap-
' orated milk, raisin bread, canned
| fruit juices.
| LOW OOST—pork liver, frozen
! ocean perch, chuck roast, cube
'steak, hamburger, canned mackerel,
heart, canned luncheon meat, can-
ned orange juice, cooked whole
wheat cereal, dry milk solids, cinna-
mon toast, lemonade from canned
juice.

U. S. Rep. Jake Pickle testified
that $600,000 was needed to keep
the Palmetto Bend Dam on a

pearing before the Public Works
Subcommittee of the House Appro-

“This request is in line with the
Bureau of Reclamation thinking.
Last year the bureau said they
could effectively use $800,000 for
this planning.” This year, as last
