By popular demand there

UAW-CIO Headquarters, AS
Winthrop Street, corner of Ash
land Avenue, on Thursday, Fri
day, and Saturday, April %, 29,

Serves Without Pay
Ovid C'Mac") McCombs, Sec
retary of the Spicer unit Coop
Committee, has been named to
handle details of the large un-
dertaking. McCombs has been
active in credit union circles for
quite some time, and has been
aiding the present Coop drive
from its beginning, without pay.
He was recently named to fill
the Coop board vacancy caused
by the resignation of George
Webb, T o e d o University in
structor, whose press of duties
caused him to ask to be relieved
of board responsibility.
To Have More OF 1t
I'VE are going to have every.
thing we had at the first fair,
only we. are going to have more
of it. And we're going to stock
up on the items that moved fast,
like orange juice, coffee, canned
vegetables, sardines, n d the
better bargains, said McCombs.
I'VE learned a lot from that first
fair, and with Bob Pickus gone
we're going to have to do the
job all by ourselves" he added.
Large Selection
The March event featured an
inventory running into thousands
of dollars, and practically every
thing was sold. Sardines, at two
cans for 21c, lasted three hours.
Fruit juices were a sellout. Drip
grind coffee didn't hold out.
Likewise with dozens of items.
With the experience of the first
fair already behind it, the Coop
is planning on having a highly
successful g. day event. Con-
sumers are advised not to stock
up heavily on canned goods and
staples in advance of the fair,
as there will be worthwhile saw
ings available. A or d in g to

The preponderence of preference

homemaker chose two types of
chicken and explained that she
used lightweight chicken in the
spring and summer while in the
fall and winter she preferred a
heavier bird. This led the research

Pappy, Pass The Chicken! !!
By Jeannette Belts DOdd

Ever since Colonial days chicken
fried, broiled, stewed, or roasted
has ranked high among the seven
basic foods by virtue Of its super
ior nutritive value and its versatile
ty. In the early days it was only
the rare, lucky, and extremely en-
ierprising housewife who was able
10 provide fried chicken for the
minister when he dropped in for a
meal, TO have roast hen with
dumplings for family meal. These
gala-days, festivals, and as many
as any middle-aged person can well
remembers it was a long time be-
tween chicken feasts.
Back then, just at present, chick
en- was predominately popular as a
top-flight dish in all sections of
the country, but the supply was
erratic and extremely unreliable.
Chicken-raising was a side-line,
pin-inoney affair mainly engaged In
by farmers wives who traded eggs
and friers at cross-road stores for
such things as calico and coffee,
and who made farm life endurable
by now and then giving the family
plate of eggs and feast of chick
en- for a change. The country mer-
chant took the chickens and eggs
to town at intervals and peddled
them from door to door, or dispos-
ea of them to his jobber for mei-
chandise. 1t was only then the
town-people We're able to obtain
either chickens or eggs.
Thus until fairly recently it was
a. case of yeah. / like chicken, but
try and get it," Today this answer
holds true in many, many sections
! Of the broad land of ours where
towns are isolated from farming
s districts or where deep-freezeg;
and modern refrigeration is as ye
unknown. It is almost incredible
to those of us who are so familiar
with broiled, fried and roasted
chicken, that anyone in the Who'll,
United States should not yet know
about it; but it is true that therl
are such INITIATED persons.
Recently a young college gyadu

that was upon his plate, shifted tn
aroma, and began gingerly eatin
it as he saw others doing. Whe
he had finished he told the hostes
that he had never eaten anythin
so good as it was in his whole life
and he inquired sheepIishly whs
it was. Thinking it was a jok,
everybody laughed; but the trut
came out that he was telling tn
truth. Michigan, like ancient Gau

from Rudyard, a few miles south
of Sault Ste. Marie.
However, as a general rule, in all
sections Of the United States, the
vast majority Of people of all ages
and circumstances are chicken
conscious, and the main questions
are: availability at all times when
