HISTORY OF OUT FURNITURE


When the plan Of Greenbelt ives first
inougurated, the Special Skills Divi-
sion Of the then Resett1 ement. Admin stra-
ton decided to try their hand at desig-
ming furniture. They felt that SO ="
much attention being given to the
exterior Of the dwellings,, that the
interiors should as nearly as possible
correspond in desirn. ..
To this end expert designers and
craftsmen. spent many months in finding
just what they wanted. Their aim was.
to design furniture, simple in Line,
sturdy, attractive end inexpensive.
After samples made. and tried out
in Greenbelt houses, they were sent to
various manufacturing concerns for
estimates. As some firms Offered lower
bids chairs but higher bids on
other pieces Of Furniture. the various
pieces were given for. manufacture to
several concerns. These companies are.
located in Pennsylvania, Mchi gan, -"
Washington. D. c., Wisconsin, and West
Virginia. Although. this method has
lowered costs it has caused delay
Of the pieces.
The woods are oak, maple and. gum,
which blend with another or with
any furniture bought on the open market.
Living room couches are equipped with
springs and mattress SO that they may
serve beds. They also have detach-~
able covers viii CHI may be dry-cleaned.
This furni ture is avai liable only to
FAM lies who live on projects set up ;,
by the Farm Security Administration.
ALI purchases have been end will be
made ~ the Procurement Divi sion Of the
Treasury Department after competitive
bids have been invited and examined.
The position Of the Farm Security
Admir- strait on is that Of a central
purchasing agency fora group Of low
income consumers whose needs could not
be met by present production lines.

In other words Meat is an expensive
item and is cut down when the income
is low. 1t is very necessary for the
housekeeper who has O limited amount
to spend on food, to learn all she can
about CUTS of meat and HOW to- use: them.
The following is bare outline, Of the
various inexpensive cuts Of meat and
their uses:
Neck Meat--very good meat, very mex
pensive, waste: for soups, stews
and hamburger.
Chuck--very economi cal; good for pot
roast and oven roasts if cooked slowly;
Bottom Of Round--steaks and roasts.
Flenk--boi1ed beef, stews, steaks.
Shin--soup, stewss boiled beef, -
LAMB.
Shoulder--roast, chops. Ut is good
plan to buy the shoulder with the neck.
Have the butcher cut off chops: necessary
for one. meal and use rest for roast stew,
chop suey etc. tt will run you much
cheaper. than buying cut chops.
Brea st--s stuffed and baked; stews
VEAL
At present veal is higher than lamb or
beef and the cuts run about the. same
far as economy is concerned. Shank, rack,
Shoulder, breast, plate are the more
economi cal cuts.
MEAT PRODUCTS
Most nous ekeepers overlook and neglect
this very important fact that tripe,,
kidneys, > liver and brains provide nutri-
tuive meat value at VERY LOW COST. The.
family food budget can, be greatly aided
by using these products. Many tempting
dis shes can be prepared with these mex
pensive products.

BALANCING THE BUDGET

The Bureau Of Home Economi cs, Dept.
Of Agricu1ture in its pamphlet on "Die
to fit the Family Income" describes 4
diet plans of different levels Of ex-
penditure.
Tt is very interesting to note the
amount Of meat, poultry end fish. allotted
to each diet per week for family of
four.
