* M There were some years,
also, when we just couldn’t
get many people out to
help,” explained another
knowledgeable person.
“Those times there may
have only been two people to
each kettle.”
Now, however, interest
has really picked up. At 5
o’clock last Saturday
moiling there were more
than 40 individuals out
getting ready to make the
applebutter. Some poeple
even stayed all night.

Tips For Discount
. Shopping
Now, more than ever,
discount shopping seems to
be taking the country by
storm. In fact, the word
discount seems to have a
magic ring, leading con
sumers to believe they are
getting a fantastic bargain.
It is true you can save a
great deal of your fashion
budget by shopping discount
houses or factory outlets, but
you can also get stung. You
need to be an especially
perceptive shopper with a
knowledge of fabric and
fiber, plus a firm goal in
mind.
It’s very easy to get
carried away by the ex
citement of a half-the
original-price tag and buy
twice as much as you need.
You can go broke saving
money on such bargains.
What’s more, many discount
houses and factory outlets
don’t have rooms to try on
garments. If you can’t try on
an item or can’t return it, the
purchase is a real gamble as
far as fit is concerned. Even
packaged goods such as
hosiery and undergarments
may have the wrong size on
the outside of the package.
Sometimes you’ll find that
the reason for a markdown is
mislabeling of size, fiber
content or care directions. If
you know fabrics, you can
determine if the care
labeling is wrong, but not
always. Again it is a gamble
and you usually have no
alternatives if the garment is
ruined.
A needle and thread can
sometimes easily repair
minor damage. Other times
the reason for the markdown

is poor matching or fabric
design placement. Here
you’ll have to decide if it is
worth the extra time and
energy needed to correct the
mistake - if it is correctable.
Keeping these drawbacks
in mind, discount buying at
the factory still makes it
easy to save dollars if you
shop with a few guidelines in
Go with a firm idea of
your needs - don’t be swayed
by that half-price tag. Buy
only if you find what you
need and want. A bargain is
no bargain if it won’t add to
your present wardrobe.
Keep in mind that driving
long distances to shop at an
outlet to save a few dollars
may not really be a saving,
considering the cost of
gasoline, time and possibly a
meal away from home.
Imaginative Homemade
Halloween Costumes
When the children in your
family start thinking ghosts
and goblins, it may be time
to rummage through your
attic and basement to find
the things you’ll need to
make up imaginative
costumes for Halloween.
Children will probably be
enthusiastic about designing
their own costumes. For
inspiration, they might think
of favorite cartoon
characters. Or look at
coloring or story books.
Boxes with holes for arms
can be painted or colored.
Smaller children can
decorate large paper sacks,
then cut holes for head and
arms.
Or look into an old clothes
bag £or garments that, with a
little pinning or quirk
sewing, will create a young
witch or fairy princess.
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Oct. 30,1976 —
Think of unusual ways to use
old clothes for costumes.
Pajama bottoms with feet
can be stuffed, then used for
an unusual hat. An old skirt
can be worn around the neck
with holes cut out for arms.
Fabric scraps, old sheets
and towels come in handy,
too.
Sports equipment also
makes interesting and fun
Halloween costumes.
Instead of masks, let
children decorate their
faces. Old or inexpensive
make-up and colored chalk
■can be psed. Even water
color paints will work if a
good base of hand lotion is
first applied to the face. To
create a ghostly effect, apply
flour over a hand lotion base.
Pa. consumers prefer
Pennsylvania apples
HARRISBURG, Pa. -
Pennsylvania consumers
respond to promotions
identifying apples as grown
in Pennsylvania and actually
show a taste preference for
them, Dean Carey, chair
man of the Pennsylvania
Apple Marketing Board,
announced this month.
Apples originating in
Pennsylvania and
Washington State were in
volved in a two-week study
conducted at two super
markets last spring in the
Allentown-Bethlehem area
under the direction of the
Department of Agricultural
Economics at Penn State.
When apples of similar
quality, grade and price
were identified as to state of
origin, consumers bought
more of the Pennsylvania
apples - 58 per cent to 42 per
cent.
More importantly, ac
cording to Carey, was the
fact that Pennsylvania won
out decisively in taste tests.

According to Don Horn,
NEMA President, “Bill”
Rent brings with him a broad
range of experience built
through many years of close
association with the New

industry. His business

assignments in sales and

England and the Mid-

categories as crispness
juiciness, firmness, and
tanginess.
To test the impact of the
state of origin, large signs
“Pennsylvania Grown” and
“Washington Grown” were
featured on bulk displays of
apples, all of which were U.
S. Extra Fancy, size 100, and
identically priced. In one
store, the Pennsylvania
apples outsold the others by
60 per cent to 40 per cent. In
the other store, the dif
ference was 54 per cent to 46
per cent. Out of a total of 5315
apples, Pennsylvania apples
outsold the others by a
margin of 16 per cent or 8-%
