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,

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
