Wise Purchasing
Means Separating
Needs From Wants

Mrs. Consumer this week was
urged to separate her wishes and
wants from her actual needs
when it comes to making pur-
chases for her home.
Failure to do this a Farm and
Home Week audience at Ohio
State University was told by DR..
Jules Labarth2, nationally
known buying consultant, will
cause her to select the poorer of
two articles in terms of service
ability.
Few articles are returned to
stores because of damage to their
appearance or through short
comings in an esthetic quality"
he said. Mrs. Consumer usually.

expresses her dissatisfaction
about it to her friends because
it has failed in service, even
though the potential serviceabil-
ity played no part in her origin

He suggested Mrs. Consumer
prepare herself a checklist of
what she wants the merchandise
to do in service and then remind
7hersetf when she "-goes INTO the
store that some of these factors
are actual needs and others are
only wants.
When the merchandise fails to
give the satisfaction she thinks
she is entitled to, DR.. Labarthe
suggested she look at the check
list to SEE whether the failure
was something she had antici-
pated when she selected the ar
ticle in the store.

IN MEMORY

In loving memory of Pvt.
Junior Clyde Longfellow who
gave his life for his country in
Germany, five years
ago today, April 8, 1945.
With broken hearts we watched
you,
And saw you go away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
Five sad years have passed
Since u great sorrow fell,
The shock we received that day
We shall remember we'll.
We think of you in silence,
We often speak your name;
But all we have are memories
And your picture in a frame.

Eighty one year = old George

diploma to become a good cook.
He was already good. He said so
himself.
But recent studies in cooking

went along"
Miss Dean said the retired
builder and contractor was an ex-
cellent student.
Mr.. Davis, who has been cook
ing regularly for about nine years,
was quick to discuss recipes, his
favorite dishes and allied subjects.
Get the right ingredients, that's
the main thing" he advised.
A Seventh-day Adventist for As
years, Mr.. Davis eschews meat and
meat dishes. But a whole wheat
