The budget, which Clague in
sisted in his testimony before the

the buying habits and quantities
of goods and services bought by
a family made up of man, his
wife, and two children, a boy
eyed 13 in high school, and a
girl aged 8 in grade school.
The costs cover "a fairly
modest food budget" Clague told
the Congressmen. He explained
that cit provides for six loaves
of bread a week, II quarts of
milk, or about three per person
per week, about 20 eggs a week,
and about a pound and half of
butter or margarine. These guam
