It’s not just the little lady’s “intui tion” that’s telling her this— official U.S. Labor Department ¢ statistics show our cost of living racing to its highest peak ever. A. family of four’s Sunday the trimmings—peas, potatoes, tossed salad, bread and butter, ice cream and coffee—cost $4.88 in 1965; a year later it was up to $5.05! Joining in the dizzying price spiral are transportation costs, up 4% in the last year; household services costs, up 6% ; and the cost of medical care— which has jumped over 9% in the past 12 months.

Nowadays, there are so many varieties of diets that an -hostess would be hard put to please at one meal the salt-free diet= er, the grape: or-banana enthusiast, the igh protein dvocate, the ie wheat germ fanatic. I’ve always watched my weight carefully.and have been to parties where rich foods abounded. I simply learned to pass them all by with a smile, and I think most dieters can do the same thing. I say, therefore, don’t prepare special dishes for the dieter, but do make some easy accommodations. There’s nothing wrong in planning a party menu that will include enough of a choice so that weight-watchers don’t have to sit there and chew on their martyrdom all night. Have all sauces and gravies and dressings on the side of the dish, not on it, so that those who want to omit the additional calories can do so. When. I plan assorted little canapes and nibbles for pre-dinner cocktails, I include a healthily low-calorie choice like a bowl of ‘cherry tomatoes garnished with fresh carrot sticks and scallions. I always have a good supply of Pepsi-Cola on hand. for guests, but with so many people now very weight-conscious, I stock some Diet-Pepsi as well. Many bakeries now make sugarfree cookies and I order some of that kind along with the regular selection. Since calorie-counting is almost a national pastime, chances are that several of your guests will be dieters. The gracious hostess should accommodate—but not let them dominate—her menu planning. l GRASS VALLEY “ Opp. Post Office Free Delivery 273-7218 Prescription Speciolists 4 ~~ Soee ve seen HAND-MADEin our shop GOLD NUGGET and QUARTZ JEWELRY Custom Made for you, if desired Diamonds Remounted & 124 Mill St. Ph. 273-3039 Grass Valley available. car deals, and we'll prove it. we Farber Ford Country's TF Pledge To The Public: We promise that we will stop bragging about; 1.

That’s why this young man couldn’t wait for the engine of the rotary power mower to cool before he refilled its fuel tank. Result: the gas exploded in a blinding flash. The boy was badly burned. The only date he kept was with the local hospital’s emergency room. According to the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute, the incident typifies thousands of accidents in the U.S: each year because Americans don’t use their head when mowing their lawns—even with machines built to the highest industry safety standards. But anyone knows that safe machinery is not enough. Safe handling is even more important. Here’s a rundown from the Institute on safe mowing habits to always keep in mind: 1.-Clear the area of children and pets. The mower may pick up PRICE small objects with grass and hurl them forcibly. Go over the mowing area and pick up stones, glass, wire and other hard objects. 2. Fhe mowing blade whirls 2500 times a minute. Avoid any contact: do not allow any youngsters to approach it. 3. Always push, never pull a mower. On an incline, the mower may come closer than you like. 4. Never leave the mower with the engine running, even briefly. 5. Watch your clothing. It should be tight fitting and compact. Avoid sneakers, use leather shoes. 6. When your mower needs adjustment or fuel, cut the power. In addition, cool the engine when adding fuel.
