October Plentifuls
Seasonal bounty of many foods
is the outlook for October.
Feature attraction on the mon
th’s plentiful foods list will be
fresh apples, which will be in
peak supply in time for the an
nual observance of National
Apple Week, October 26-
November 4.
Other plentifuls listed for
October are canned applesauce
and apple juice, rice, dry beans,
wheat products, broiler-fryers,
turkeys, and eggs.
Food shoppers should bear in
mind that when foods are in
abundant supply, they are often
attractively priced, good reasons
to check on new recipes and plan
ahead for thir use in the month’s
menus.
Make good use particularly of
apples and apple products. This
year’s apple harvest will come to
about 150 million bushels, about
the same as for the past four
years. All favorite varieties of
this delicous fruit will be abun
dant, so be sure to buy those best
suited for your intended purpose.
This year’s estimated 8.6-
billion pound rice production is
the greatest in three years and
you should find prices attractive.
Rice with a main dish, or as an
ingredient, rightly belongs on the
menu these days.
For hearty, nourshing fall
dishes, by all means choose dry
beans, whether for soups,
casseroles, or as a side dish. This
year’s estimated 1.8-billion pound
prouduction speels plenty of dry
beans of all varieties.
A record-breaking wheat crop
will provide ample grain and also
the products made from grain
bread, spaghetti, noodles or other
wheat products. Despite possible
increases in grain products’ costs
due to heavy export sales, these
items remain excellent buys in
relation to most other foods.
Poultry will continue a good
choice as production of broiler
fryers in October is expected to
be 3 percent above a year ago.
Prices, however, will probably
edge above the very low prices of
last year. According to current
indications some 14 percent more
turkeys will be marketed this
October than in October, 1971,
while at the same time storage
holdings are also likely to be
greater than a year ago. As a
result, good buys on the big birds
should be available.
Although there may be
somewhat fewer eggs than the
high level of a year ago, they’ll
continue to be an economical
source of high protein food.
Check Fabric Needs
How much do you know about
fabrics for your home? If you’re
planning on having something
reupholstered or perhaps doing it
yourself, what kind of fabric will
you buy? Most people really don’t
know either what they want—or
what they expect from the fabric
they buy. Upholstered items, or
even just the fabric for them are
costly, so most of us must live
with our choices for a long time.
Six commonly found textile
upholstery fabrics with a stain
and soil resistant finish were
selected for a study conducted
with several northeastern
universities cooperating with the
Experiment Station and the
United States Department of
Agriculture. The fabrics ranged

in price from $5.50 a yard to
$11.75 a yard.
Color ranked first in type of
damage to all the fabrics. All of
the fabrics tested lost strength
with exposure to light. It appears
that upholstery fabrics don’t
always meet the needs of the
consumer.
The study pointed up the need
for you to consider the com
bination that meets your
requirments as far as color,
texture, fiber content, type of
weaves, type of backing and
finishes.

You may have to constantly
remind youngsters to wash neck,
throat and ears, because they
have a tendency not to see the
necessity of doing more than the
“once over lightly.”
Today’s hair styles, for both
boys and girls, with the long hair
and bangs, over the forehead, can
cause oily deposits on the face

Frequent shampooing and daily
brushing will keep hair shining
and healthy.
Daily bathing with attention to
knees and elbows will help keep
skin soft and rosy looking.
To insure that proper health
and grooming habits are
followed, each child should have
his own wash cloth, towel and
soap, says the specialist. Per
sonal combs and brushes should
also be a part of the child’s
grooming tools. All the equip
ment should be kept clean to
prevent redeposit of dirt and

their appearance by establishing
