ILLINOIS BOBOS program were authorized for one year only, instead of the two years proposed by the For eign Affairs Committee. My view is that, particularly at this time, every aspect of the program should receive critical scrutiny by that committee every year. No weapons could be sold to, or purchased from, any coun try supplying equipment or commodities of any kind to North Vietnam. The committee already had approved a flat prohibition against economic or military ass i s tance to such countries. I do not see how we can tolerate helping any coun try which is helping the Com munists to wage aggression and kill our young men in South Vietnam. Restrictions would be placed on aid to 56 countries which have failed to pay United Na tions dues and assessments. Under this amendment, offered by fellow Pennsylvanian Rich ard Schweiker, aid would be denied until the President gave a complete explanation as to why the country requesting it is economically incapable of paying its share of UN costs. Other amendments of partic ular interest included those denying aid to any country which has severed diplomatic relations with the United States, ANOTHER PEACE-OF-MIND PRODUCT FROM .., .TM. Lancaster Farming. Saturday, September 16,1967 — Consumer Must Make Shopping Decision A decision you face many times is whether to buy all your food in one store or to shop several stores. The de cision is not an easy one, re minds Harold E. Neigh, Ex tension consumer economics specialist of The Pennsylvania State University. When you shop several stores and take advantage of the “good buys” in each one, you can cut your food budget. But other costs are involved besides money. You spend time and energy when you buy food. Sometimes you can save time and energy, when you spend more money. A large part of the decision barring from American ports any ships which have engaged in trade with North Vietnam or Cuba, and terminating the present favorable trade treat ment of Poland until that coun try stops sending weapons to North Vietnam'. I believe these amendments deserve our strongest support. There is every good reason for the Senate-House conferees to retain them in the bill. facing you is deciding the val ue you place on your time and energy. If you shop several stores for their “good buys,” you can save money on what you buy and you can choose from a wider selection of brands. To make the most of this wider selection, you’ll have to in crease your knowledge of how the different brands fit your family’s needs, says Mr. Neigh. You’ll also be exposed to a variety of merchandise you perhaps didn’t intend to buy. If your willpower to resist im pulse buving is low < you may end up with many 'items not on your shopping list. This could wipe out any savings. It will cost you time and ef fort to shop several stores. You’ll have to consider if you have the time to do the job of comparative shopping and if you’re willing to expose your self to the added time and ef fort needed. It costs money to shop sev eral stores, Mr. Neigh points out The estimated cost of driving a car one mile is about ten cents. If you have to drive any distance between stores, automobile expenses will ea% up your savings Also you may lose your savings to the gar bage p»JI if you leave tender fresh fiuits and vegetables or meat in your car while you shop fiom store to store But you, alone, will have to make your shopping decision, Mr. Neigh adds 9
