Boston, Dec. g. (UP) - Fannie Farmers cookbook, which has spared three generations of bewild- cred brides the embarrassment of running home to mother, celebrates it's 50th birthday today.
 The oldest and by far the beSt- selling kitchen manual still in print in America, Fannie's Boston Cook g-School Cookbook" has been pub- lished in more than 2,53l ,000 copies. It is one of the seven favorite books of all-time on the best-seller lists and rapidly is approaching Gone With the Wind" which has sold over 100000.
 The publishing house of Little, Brown & Co.,, which looks on the cookbook as one of the most profit able landmarks in the century-old history, observed the birthday in traditional fashion by Issuing a golden jubilee edition. This eighth edition, the publishers claim, is the best one yet. It is written right down to the level of the brides who have their troubles boiling water.
 Classic Sells During War
 Though it's an old-timer as cook books go, Fanie's classic is selling better than ever. The wartime mar riage boom caused sharp upswing in sales, nearly 500.000 copies having been printed since i94l. The pulp fishers are confident that as soon as war brides move away from in-laws and face their own stove with per- spiration on their brow and despera- ton in their eye, Fannie" will be more in demand than ever.
 The publishers weren't always so confident. When Fannie Farmer, a strong-willed spinster of 39. came to them in 1896 with her manuscript, they decided cautiously to print only a few copies-at her own expense.
 They admit now that they under estimated the book. Seldom does a week pass that they don't get a re- hinder of Fannie's indispenslbility. Usually the letters start off like this:
 If I live to be 100. I'll never fore get the first Thanksgiving we were married when m. husband invited all his relatives to dinner. I didn't know the first thing about roasting a turkey and I never would have got- ten through the ordeal--if it hadn't been for Fannie"

Hartford. Dec. 2--(UPD-Connee- ticut Christmas shoppers were re- ported today to have more than Ssa. .000.O 900 in the kitty aS they be- gan their holiday buying in earnest,
 Ths figure included money salt ed away in Christmas club deposits and Christmas bonuses which will be paid by various concerns. To augment this. many a harraSSed shopper will be forced to dip into his regular savings or to cash war bonds in order to meet demands Of Santa's inflated pack.
 High prices don't seem to be de- terring Connecticut shoppers very much. Last months sales were re- ported to be ahead of those in Nov- ember. letS. both in dollar volume and number Of items sold. One de- par7ment store head explained, "prices really haven't risen too much-only in a few well-publicized items. such as soap" In general this merchant claimed. most store owners are making sincere effort to hold prices down.
 This season for a change shoppers will have plenty Of variety to choose from. Shelves are spilling over with goods-many Of which haven't been seen since before the war.
 Riddles win find under the tree many pre-war favorites such as steel sleds. trains. cranes and the ike. instead of the drab flimsey wooden toys that quite often failed to last out the year. Tots also will be indoctrinated with awe-inspir- ing items. such as games involving radar. electronics. and atomic bombs.
 Mom and Pop also will find a lot to delight them. Returning to shelves after a wartime lapse are such welcome things as electrical appliances and a greater variety of clothing.
 Here are results of a survey by United Press of various merchant dizing fields.
