Clyatt, Extension consumer
marketing specialist.
Best beef values include
round steaks and roasts, chuck
roasts and steaks, ground beef,
liver and short ribs.
Retail pork prices are un-
changed for the past three
weeks. Look for best pork
values on smoked hams,
picnics, shoulder roasts and
steaks, end cut loin roasts and
chops and liver.
Fryers are still excellent
buys in most retail meat
departments, and frozen
turkeys are available in some
stores at low prices
Check prices on large and
medium size eggs for lowest
coots, comparing eggs of the
same grade. If the cost dif-
ference of the two sizes is less
than seven cents, the larger
size is usually the best buy.
Mrs. Clyatt says.
Fresh fruit arid vegetable
items in good supply at the
most economical prices in-
clude oranges, bananas,
lemons, strawberries,
pineapples, corn, potatoes,
head lettuce, celery, cabbage,

A Thought For The Day
PMte Olpn Mtetetei|
Vtetth Uttena Churn __
How does a Christian appear
to the people they meet? Do
you blend in with the
surroundings, like the lizard
which changes its colors
depending on where it is and
what it’s doing7 Or is there that
something about you which
acts like a mirror, one which
reflects the love and concern of
its maker wherver it is or
whatever it’s doing? It depends
on what kind of a Christian you
are ami wnat you really believe
about your God and Maker and
Savior
This last Sunday was Pen-
ticost, often called the birthday
of the Christian Church.
After Jesus was arrested and
put to death, his disciples were
much like the lizard. They
slithered away and hid in the
darkness, changing colors
whenever they need to so that
they would not be noticed.
But on Penticoet, God sent
His Holy Spirit down upon his
disciples and filled them with
the presence and strength nf
God
With the presence of the Holy
Spirit, they no longer kid ur der
the shadow of darkness, but
they became a shining light
which stood out in the darkness
and reflected the love and
concern of their Ixird.
They could no longer keep
silent They were even accused
of being drunk a! 5 A M.
Instead these disciples spoke
to everyone near, in their own
native tongue or language, of

from the Naval Base where he
has worked for 30 years

To rid your closets entirely of
pests, line closet walls with
red cedar suggests Jan
Slabaugh, Extension housing
and home furnishings
specialist at Texas A&M
University.
The extra cost of red cedar is
well worth the price. Miss
Slabeugh add*. The aroma of
cedar penetrates items stored
in the closet and protects them
from moths and moisture
Moths, their larvae and red
cedar do not get along, so a

free of pasts.
