Easter’s on its way!
Symbolic with Easter, eggs
are as traditional as fruit
cake at Christmas time.
They are a versatile food
and can add variety to this
week’s menus.
They are a great value
that provide an inexpensive
source of protein. A dozen
eggs are 60 cents a dozen.
That is the same as 40 cents
a pound.
Think about two things
when you buy eggs-the size
and the quality. Grades tell
the quality and size classes
tell the size, which does not
affect the quality. USDA
grades are Grade AA, Grade
A, and Grade B. Grade A
are specially good for frying
and poaching and for all
purposes. Grade B eggs
spread more in the pan but
are good for baking, scram-
bled eggs, and for general
cooking.
Sizes are jumbo, extra
large, large, medium, and
small. The jumbo eggs
weigh at least 30 ounces and
the small, 18 ounces. There
is a 3-ounce difference in “Summer vegetables to

TB SKIN TESTING

a TB skin test on April 23.
Testing will be done in La

SPRING GARDENING TIPS
Late April or early May is
the best time to plant
Caladium tubers. Caladiums
are warm climate plants and
will not grow until soil
temperature is at least 70
degrees or higher. Prefer
moist, shaded, well drained
soils. Plant so top of tuber is
from 112 to 2 inches deep
and 12 to 18 inches apart
Divide and transplant Day-
lilies.
Annuals and summer bed-
ding plants should be set out
now. Recommended species
include: Ageratum, Amar-
anth, Cleome, Cockscomb
(Celosia), Coleus, Sunflower,
Cosmo, Gloriosa, Daisy,
Periwinkle, Marigold, Dusty
Miller, Vervena, Morning
Glory, Moss Rose, Petunia,

Rip Currents
Are Killers
Rip currents are killers
and you can save a life -
yours, your child’s, your
neighbor's - by learning a
few rules, according to
Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department officials.
Learn to recognize a rip
current. Rips run at right
angles to the beach and
break the normal pattern of
waves which flow parallel to
the shore.
Rip currents return water
to the sea brought in by
wave action The stronger
the incoming waves, the
more likely a rip current,
especially where jetties and
piers deflect the water flow
seaward
When a rip current catches
you, stay cool and escape
Move out of the current on
a course parallel to the
beach The rip zone is
narrow and you should be
out of it in a minute
Don't try to swim back to
shore against the current It
will exhaust the strongest of
swimmers.'
Another alternative is to
let the rip carry you out
through the surf zone Here
it degenerates into a big
plume of surf Swim back to
shore and avoid the narrow
current.
Rips can panic the best of
pool swimmers Teach your-
self and your children the
rules of rip currents

CUT COSTS IN
HOMEBUILDING
Building their own home is
a dream many people have,
and there are several ways
to cut construction and
utility costs.
With bathrooms, install all
the fixtures along one wall
for the most compact,
efficient and economical fix-
ture and plumbing arrange-
ment, suggests W. S. Allen,
agricultural engineer for the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service, Texas A&M Univer-
sity.
For the most economical
two-bathroom arrangement
in a one-story house, install
the bathrooms back to back.
Or consider a well-planned
compartmented bathroom
which will cost less and take
up less space than two
separate bathrooms. With
the tub and toilet in one
section and one or two
washbowls in the other, two
or three persons can use the
the bathroom to shorten cold

S
and hot water lines, Allen
adds. Also, the hot water
tank should be near the
automatic washer, and the
clothes dryer should be on an
outside wall to make venting
easier.
Operating costs can also be
cut by choosing materials
carefully. Light-colored roof-
ing materials absorb much
less of the sun’s heat than
darker materials. This- will
help keep the house cooler in
the summer. Black-top or
concrete areas adjacent to a
house reflect or radiate solar
heat into the house, making
it harder to keep cool.
Adequate insulation should
be installed in the attic,
walls and under the floors to
make your home more
comfortable at less cost
throughout the year, says the
engineer.
A final suggestion concerns
windows. During the summer
large windows facing north
and south provide for cooler
conditions inside the house
than those facing east and
west. In the winter windows
facing south will receive
more sunshine, thus helping
keep the house warm.
