GOLDEN GRAPEFRUIT
“A fruit not larger than a good
orange which is borne in bunches
like grapes.” From that nineteenth
century descriptor the grapefruit
got it name. Over the years, the
grapefruit was also called the
“Adam’s Apple” and the “For
bidden Fruit.” Another one of its
names was the shaddock, after the
man who reportedly brought it to
the West Indies where it developed
into today’s variety of the fruit.
Of its earliest origins and names,
botanists admit they are not sure.
Whatevery mystery surrounds it
origin, however, there is no
mystery about the popularity of
the grapefruit today. For round
the-clock and round-the-calendar
menu planning, the grapefruit is
an ideal fruit because it can be
served in so many ways.
In addition to their excellent
taste, grapefruits are packed with
Vitamin C to help you maintain
good health. So start the day with a
delicious grapefruit half. And-in
case you didn’t know how versatile
grapefruit is, here are some
suggestions for using grapefruit in
lunch and dinner menus.

TIME TO CUT ENERGY COSTS
You were too busy, the weather
was bad, the contractor was busy -
whatever your reasons last fall,
there is still time in February to
consider energy-saving im
provements to your home. Many
do-it-yourself weathering jobs can
keep you warmer, can save on
heating bills, and can be ac
complished in winter months.
You may have storm windows,
but if they are old, the seal may
have broken letting in icy air. An
extra cover of plastic sheeting on
the inside will solve the problem
until warm weather returns and
you can re-caulk properly.
Placing worn-out weather
stripping around doors is also a
good inside winterizing project for
now. Basements are another
frequent source of cold air. Extra
insulation, wrapping hot water
pipes and tanks, and covering
windows will all help you stay
wanner upstairs.
If you are.considering something
more permanent and consideraly
more* complicated, get help. Most
contractor will save you time and,
in the long run r money.
