GOOD food is enjoyed by every
II one but good food does not
necessarily mean rich or partcu-
.Iar1v extensive materials. The
woman who can take the simplest
sort of foodstuffs and cook them
10 perfection always can serve a
good meal. Good cooking is the
first essential OF good food and
the skill of the cook plays an I'M
portant part in the cost OF meals.
Probably consideration for fam
ilv tastes comes next in importance
10 good cooking as means toward
economy in meal planning. Adults
whose food tastes already are
formed cannot be made TO eat
foods they do not like. The wo-
man who tries TO do this finds
wasted food on her hands. This
IN turn means wasted money, time
and effort.
The regular use OF seasonable
foods is one OF the surest and
easiest means OF economy in meal
planning. Although the markets
offer all variety OF produce
throughout the year. the cost va
ries at different seasons. Long
distance shipping. involving the
necessity of refrigeration or ap-
piled heat. naturally costs money
and increases the price of foods
shipped under these conditions.
While these foods are desirable
from the standpoint of good nutrl-
ton and the variety they furnish
Tor meals. if strict economy must
be practiced cheaper fruits and
vegetables can be substituted.
Thrift Costs Time
Very often economy in one place
means increased cost in another.
If the cook would save money, she
must usually spend time. This
extra time must be spent in the
kitchen or in trip to the market.
In either event she will find her
time we'll spent, for a trip TO the
market will prove not only an
economy but an inspiration for
planning menus.

ton OF national good book week

well but first prize went to Doro-
thy Boyer.
Betty Benton won first prize for
Lincoln school with her pleasing
tale of The Birds Christmas
Carol" while Lillian Henson got
second prize with Noisy Nora.
Both girls came from 6-B room.
Both representatives from Will
son school were awarded first
prizes because each was charming
in her own way and both girls
told their stories beautifully. Mary
Becker gave Kipling's How the
Camel Cot His Hump" from the
Just So Stories" and Marjorie
Palmer delighted with a humorous
folk tale. The Simpleton Whose
Name Was I Don't Care >"
East side school sent Ruth Payne
and Forrest Tobin to represent
them. Ruth. who is a sixth grade
pupil. told the story of the Six
Swans" in a pleasing manner. while
Forrest told the story of Don Ouix-
cite, a real feat of memory. Both
contestants did so we'll that each
was given a prize.
The grand prize for the city was
a potted fern awarded to Harding
school for the work of Doris Burke.
The prize was presented this afte~-
noon at the junior matinee at The
Fox theatre where Doris told her
story again for the benefit Of the
