the paper until his industion into
the Army in 1941.
After graduating from the La
nier High School he attended
Campbell College for two years.
and was twice elected editor of the
school paper.
He was discharged from the
Army in 1945 and worked one year
for the Bethlehem Steel Company
at Sparrows Point, Maryland. Then
he attended West Virginia State
College where he completed a
course in poultry husbandry.
After finishing the course at
West Virginia, he settled down in
nearby Forestville, Maryland, and
devoted his full time for five years
to the production of broilers, layers
and turkeys. He is presently en-
ployed by the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare and
is developing a small poultry farm
on the side which he hopes his son
will be interested in taking over
when he is ready as means of
financing his way through college.
Christopher's main object in TAX
ing the hotel training course was to
learn how to operate a Chicken
Shack of his own which he hopes
to establish as market for his
poultry.
The Lewis course covered in de-
tail the duties or more than one
hundred and fifty employees, from
executives of the highest order to
pot washers and scrub girls. Fobbs
was greatly impressed by the en-
phasis placed on the dignity and
opportunity to be found in the
least of these positions.

Floor Covering
Tests

How much it costs is only one
question people ask when they are
choosing floor covering for kit
chen, laundry, bath or elsewhere in
the house. They also ask about
wear and appearance-how well the
material resists wear, and how
wear affects its good looks.
Tests on wear of several differ
ent kinds Of floor coverings used
in homes were made by the Texas
Experiment Station recently. Ma
terials tested were: Vinyl tiles, rub
Der tiles, Vinyl asbestos, linoleums,
linotiles, cork and asphalt tiles.
Vinyl tiles and rubber tiles prov
ed most resistant to wear, asphalt
tiles least resistant.
The maintenance advised by
manufacturers of floor coverings
usually includes waxing and a
method of cleaning off old wax
before applying a new coat. The
Texas study showed that such
maintenance helped keep up the ap-
pearance of all the floor coverings,
but it helped only the linoleums
and the cork tiles resist wear.
Dark, solid color in most floor
coverings show wear the most.
The exception was rubber tile. Dark
colored rubber tile changed in ap-
pearance less than lighter colors.
Floor coverings in farm homes
often are subject to extra heavy

Farm Families Are
Raising More Beef
For Home FREEZING

A greater share of American
farm families than ever before are
raising beef for their own tables,
but home production of other foods
on farms has dropped, according
to the u. 8. Department of Agri-
culture. A new Department pub
LEGATION, based on the 1866 House.
hold Food Consumption Survey,
gives statistics on home food pro-
duction by farm families during
the previous year.
OF the farm families in this sur
vey, 45 percent had raised beef for
their own use compared to only Fl

percent in 1941 survey. Special
lists point out that beef is a favor
lite meat for the family freezer.
In fact, this meat alone account
ed for almost half Of all the food
frozen at home by American farm
families in 1854. Beef's growing
popularity has been shown by in
creasing beef sales for number
Of years.
In both survey years, more fam
lilies had home-raised pork than
beef, but the proportion having
pork dropped from II percent in
1871 to so percent in 1854.
Home production of other foods
followed this downward trend. In
1941, farm families received 60
percent of their food ION a money
value basis) from the home farm.
By 1854 they were relying on home
production for only 40 percent.
Home-churned butter, for ex-
ample, was used in 63 percent of
the farm homes in 1941, but in only
38 percent in 1854. The change
was smallest for the homegrown
vegetables - "a percent of farm
families having some in 1941 and
80 percent in 1854.
Researchers suggest that the
growing specialization of farms
has affected their home food pro-
duction. In earlier years, many
farms raised a wide variety of
crops and had these foods at hand
for the farm families.
But family on one of today's
specialized farms may decide that
it's more economical to buy a food
than to raise it just for the home
table.
Although American farm fami-
lies don't depend on home-produced
food as they once did, nearly all
of them (98 percenD are using
some food from the home farm.
Also some town and country fami-
lies, who don't raise crops for sale,
do raise food for home use.

Families Have Made
Considerable Chance
In Vegetable Diet

There have been considerable
changes in vegetable eating in the
last 10 to Is years, according to
U. s. Department of Agriculture
statistics on production and mar
keting Of vegetables.
Americans are eating more of
some vegetables, less of others.
They've shifted toward more pro-
cessed vegetables, especially TIE
frozen, often at the expense of
fresh vegetables. Fewer vegeta-
bles come from home gardens. AS
consumer preferences have chang
ed, markets have adjusted their Of
ferings.
Probably the most striking
change is the large and steady in
crease in the use of frozen vegeta-
bles-up from 1 percent Of the
market in 1889 to 7 percent in
1955-and still rising. Canned
vegetables show an increase, too
mostly in tomato products like
catsup, sauce, PURGE and juice, and
in pickles.
