Reunion OF
"Ohio Bellies
Ruth Lambert S

The visit to London of the Miss
es Geraldine and Genevieve Lowery
of Akron over last weekend, was
the occasion for a reunion of Ohio
Bellies" who last fall flew to Eur
ope on a tour sponsored by the
Ohio Bell Telephone Company.
The Misses Lowery, twins in the
accounting department of the Ak
ron office of the Ohio Bell, came
down Friday night at the invita-
ton of Miss Ruth Lambert.
On Saturday night a buffet din
ner at Miss Lambert's apartment,
5012 North Main Street, honored
the visitors who were joined by
Miss Catherine Benjamin, Miss Ida
Young and Miss Florence Ben
jamin, of West Jefferson, and Mrs.
Mildred Andrews of Columbus. All
are employees of the Ohio Bell and
all had been members of the fall
flight to Europe, forming their own
party within the party" The other
member Of the clique, Miss Neva
Whitemore of West jefferson, was
unable to be with the group for
the reunion.
Around an attractive table CEN
tered with pink and white roses,
the guests reminisced. A great part
of the trip was re-captured when
they later settled back for an eX-
ch an G e of beautifully colored
scenic views taken abroad. The
Madison County tourists had a
great collection of pictures that
had not been seen by the guests
from Akron and vice versa, so the
group practically re-lived the de-
lightful two weeks, via the slides.
Narration during the showing
was superfluous. AS each picture
came up, it almost without eXcep-
ton called for some comment from
each of the travellers, only lack of
time halting the reunion. >

Safety Council News

"Speeders lose. SO SLOW DOWN
and LIVEl"
In these words E. Irwin LeKites,
field representative of the Delaware
Safety Council today warned i'm
patient motorists that excessive
speed is losing game.
Mr.. LeKites spoke in support of
the June speed control program
sponsored by the Delaware Safety
Council and the National Safety
Council.
-Speeders lose money because
excessive speed is hard on the poe
ketbook," he said 1.-THE car that
burns up the road at a fast pace
also burns up gas and oil at a much
faster rate than the car that trav-
els at moderate speed. And it
wears out its tires and brakes be-
fore their time"
Mr. LeKites also believes that
speeders lose respect. Anyone can
jam his foot on the accelerator, he
said, but it requires good judgment
to decide what speed is safe under
existing conditions. Therefore the
driver who follows the latter course
is the one who makes a better i'm
preston.
Mr. LeKites' next observation
may come as surprise to many
drivers. Speeders, he said, often
lose time. Travelling at a faster
rate of speed than the traffic
around them, cutting in and out,
racing for traffic lights, may cause
time-consuminig traffic jams.
but, of course, the greatest loss
to the speeder is the loss of safe
ty," he said. "As speed increases,
the drivers control of his car de-
creases. An accident is more likely
to happen, and an accident occur
ring at high speed is far more like
ly to cause fatality than one oc-
curing at low speed"
SO, don't be a Hurry Bug, you've
| got too much to lose"

Make regular routine of your
beauty (without overriding it) and
no man should object to the time
you spend at it.
Be interested in his work-what-
ever it is. Help him to surmount
obstacles so that he might get
ahead in whatever he wants to do.
When things go wrong offer SYM
pathetic understanding instead OF
siding with his critics.
jealousy can't exist in a happy
home. Be mature and curb your
tendency to be suspicious OF his
rowing glance or OF someone else's
in his direction.
Cooperate on money problems
Keep within the budget you've set
and help him to buy a new suit or
shoes when he needs them even II
you must scrimp.
Be selfless. You'll find it one OF
the keys to happiness, married or
not-a better example to set for a
selfish mate than heckling him be-
cause of neglect, inconsiderateness
unthoughtfulness.

Meats and Poultry: Cold cut.

Meats and Poultry: Cold cuts
ready-to-eat and easy-to-serve, art
economical summer meats. Costs
per serving range from about 12t
for frankfurters to about 25c fol
sliceS boiled ham Other cuts in
order OF increasing costs are
Bologna, liver sausage and soft
salami All are handy when the
family decides to picnic.
Beef continues to sell at the
lowest prices OF the year The de-
nand for roasts is siackening sea-
sOnally as the weather becomes
warm and people turn to meats that
permit cooler cooking. Roasts will
continue to sell at featured prices.
Summer is an excellent time to
buy rib, chuck and other roasts for
storage in the home freezer until
fall and winter when prices are
higher. Ground beef is quite eco
nomical for current use.
Pork prices rose again last week
and continue to be strong There
are few coed buys relative to beef,
although bacon still is priced about
25c per pound below a year ago
and sausage meat and picnics
also are cheaper than in 1854. Pork
chop prices have risen out of pro-
portion to other pork and beef cuts
and remain extremely nigh.
Poultry Departments this week
offer young chickens at only moder-
,rf< nnf in nVk
remain quite attractive.
Dairy Products: Fresh milk
prices continue to be abnormally
low. AS part OF the June Dairy
Month promotion, many stores are
selling dried milk, creamed cheese,
cottage cheese, swiss and cheddar
cheese at reduced prices.
SeafO0d: Favorable prices can
be found on most fresh fish, espe.-
cially on porgies, sea bass, whiting
and mackerel Frozen perch, had
dock, halibut and swordfish are
reasonably priced. Crab meat is
slightly lower as larger supplies
come in from nearby waters.
Fruits and Vegetables: Canta-
loups, watermelons and blueberries
all are moderately high and heavy
supplies are not yet coming in.
Florida citrus is relatively ex-
pensive as the season closes and
quality Is only fair. Lemons and
lines are excellent values, and
since prices usually rise just prior
to the 4th, it may pay to buy ahead.
Eastern lettuce is good value
but quality is not as consistant as
for California lettuce. so selec-
tions should be made carefully.
Cucumbers, carrots. snap beans,
squash. onions, radishes. cabbage
and beets all are at low prices this
week.
Gr0ceries: Greater demand is
pushing prices up on vegetable oils
and shortening. Prices also are
moving up on canned and frozen
citrus juices Canned peach costs
are expected to be higher later in
the year since fresh peaches for
canning are contracted at much
higher levels than last year.
