One reason so many families are
buying Home Freezers these DAYS
is because of the great variety of
out-of-season food which can be
bought at its peak of goodness and
frozen, ready to be served all year
round. Owning a Home Freezer
lets you enjoy fresh strawberries,
bl~ackberries and other seasonal
fruits; fresh corn, peas, butter
beans, okra; wild game and fish
anytime you want them. Stop in
at your Appliance Dealers and see
the Home Freezers he has on dis
play. Choose one to fit your fam
ily's appetite for delicious food
year round.
Don't Let Dusk Send You In

stalled in your garden or yard,
lets you enjoy the cool outdoors
long after dusk. Outdoor games
such as ping-pong or badminton
can be played, outdoor parties and
suppers can be enjoyed with mod

lighting to make the evening
hours as inviting as those of the
day.

this method you avoid glass splint-

Ii you are one who uses mar

Probably the most automatic
electrical appliance is the automa-

friends and neighbors are realiz-
ing more and more every day the
necessity of a constant supply of

pendable as an electric light. 1t is
completely automatic, and is the
safest type of water heater ever
devised. Call your electrical dealer

"What's YOUR
Opinion, Mister?"

Fellow from one of those
public opinion polls was in the
neighborhood grocery querying
us ON everything from that
new look" to the next election.
And it occurred to me that
there's nothing more typicaIly
American than collecting other
folks opinions, as well as CIV
ing out with ones own. And
from where 1 sit, it's a mighty
healthy habit.
So long as people can discuss
both sides of a question that
comes up-whether it concerns
short skirts versus long, the i'm
portance of the legal sale of
beer, or the outcome of Novem-
ber's election - we're sure of
the individual liberty that has
made this country great.
For it isn't differences of
opinion that matter. The i'm
portant thing is tolerance for
difference of opinion-whether
they affect the right of an indi-
vidual to speak his mind, or
enjoy a glass of legal beer,
the beverage of moderation.
They're all parts of the freedom
that we cherish!
