HELEN HUMPHREYS
ADDRESSES P.T.A.
Chase Members Hear State
Dairy Council Member
at Meeting

.How to Live Well at Low Cost, I
was the subject of an address by
Miss Helen HUMPHREYS Of the Con-
necticut Food and Dairy Council
yesterday at meeting of the
Chase School Parent-Teachers' as
ISOLATION in the kindergarten room
of the school. The speaker was
assisted in her accompanying
demonstration by Miss Helen john
son, also of the council, and by
Hilda Dressed and Marporie Woos-
ter of Miss Reals 7th grade class.
In order that a family of ordi-
nary means might obtain the most
from the expenditure of the food
dollar, Miss HUMPHREYS said, it
should be divided as follows: One
fifth for milk and cheese; one
fifth or less for meat and eggs:
one-fifth or more for bread and
cereal; and the remainder for
starch, sugar and other groceries.
For the family in poorer circum-
stances, she recommended the fol-
lowing division of the dollar; one
third for milk and its products;
one-third for bread and cereals;
and one-third to be divided in the
purchase of fruit, vegetables, meat,
fish and eggs.
