EATING HIGH
ON THE HOG
‘JSating high on the hog”
is an expression denoting
good living, originating
probably because the
always-popular pork chop
and loin roast come from the
upper part of the animal.
But with the current
plentiful supply of pork, food
shoppers will find almost
f Part of the pig an
economical buy. And all
parts provide delicious and
nutritious eating, not just
those from “high on the
hog.”

WHO CAN AFFORD
TO BUY A HOUSE?
Who can afford to buy a
house these days? With
house prices consistently
keeping ahead of consumer
incomes it’s easy to wonder
how the housing market
stays alive, much less
healthy.
One reason houses keep
getting built and sold is that
the number of new
households keep increasing.
The population of the United
States is still growing by
about 1.6 million persons
each year, which alone adds
to the potential need for new
households.
Also, the housing market
is helped by a population
“bump”-those bom in the
post World War II baby
boom who have been
reaching household for
mation and buying age.
Their impact on the housing
market was shown in a
recent study by the United
States League of Savings
Associations which
estimated that 63 percent of
all first time homebuyers
are under 30.
More women are working
outside the home too. This
extra income means that
families can often afford
new and better housing.
More divorced and single
men and women are also

likely to purchase homes
today.
A final factor in the
housing market is that
segment of the population
aged 65 and over. With better
health care and longer life
expectancies, their numbers
are swelling. And greater
prosperity, despite inflation,
has resulted in a larger
proportion of the elderly
maintaining their own
households.

Many people have little
knowledge of the role of
vitamins in the diet. Come
and learn how to distinguish
fact from fiction. Vitamins
are promoted as an “in
surance” policy to
guarantee good health. The
implication of such ad
vertising has contributed to
the myth that even a
balanced diet cannot provide
adequate nutrients.
