 To cut down on avoidable waste women are asked to rely on the good faith of the merchant to se- lect ripe fruit and fresh greens.

Such whimsical pleas as I'm Tender Don't Bruise Me- or I'm Juicy-Don't Squeeze Me-" often are more effective than the sharp reproach, they find.
 It's up to the buying public to help stretch the supply of perish able food by observing Q tsrict hands-off policy. Meanwhile, the in- dustry Is making postwar plans for specially designed cases, with vary ing degrees of temperature and hu- midity, which will preserve the dewy freshness of fruits and vege- tables and keep them as safe from paving hands as museum jewels.

New York-"Smart" shoppers who pinch apples, shuck peas, peel off lettuce leaves and lance tomatoes with long tingarnails to test fresh ness of produce before buying are weekly wrecking enough fruits and vegetables to feed 2.145,0O civilians or l43 Army Divisions.
 These figures, marched out in an effort to reform innocent sabo- teurs', are the findings of . staff of researchers headed by produce wholesaler Frank Spinetta of Floral Park, l.. l., which questioned 2O00 dealers from coast to coast.
 This "unwitting vandalism, as MT. Spinetta\ calls 1t, has chalked up losses to dealers and to the na- tion-which IS facing c food short- age situation that may put civilians on . very slim diet-some 28,O00 pounds each of tomatoes and peaches. Lima beans, which wary women shuck to see whether they measure up to their standards, add another 1000 tons to the tally of wasted food. And as many snap beans are spoiled by "show-me" customers who put them through
