knocked the provision out OF

The committee defeated an

from 2712 to 20 per cent.
AS a result of strong pleas

voted to soften the impact of q

such firms last week.
It decided to tax the stock
associations on so per cent OF

the committee had voted to
tax stock firms the same as

sylvania. New York, Alabama,
North Carolina and South Car
Dina.
Mr.. Doster said Sprinkle ran
off the bills last December %.
The plates used were appar-
emily destroyed soon after
ward, he said.
An anonymous telephone tip
led to Sprinkle's arrest, the
agent said.
Former Congressman Pat
Sutton, At, of Lawrenceburg,
Tenn, was charged Thursday
with conspiracy and transport
ing the phony bills. Now a
candidate for Lawrence County
Sheriff, Mr.. Sutton said he re-
ceived the bills in campaign
contributions, unaware they
were phony.

Many Convenience Foods Cost
Less Than Home Prepared

The American housewife
saves money by using many
convenience foods such as
frozen concentrated orange
juices, canned chicken chow
mein, and instant coffee, ac-
cording to the Department of
Agriculture.
Comparing costs of conven-
fence foods with comparable
home-prepared items, Depart
ment researchers found that of
l58 items studied, AZ we're less
expensive and 10 we're more
expensive than their home-pre-
pared counterparts. The typical
housewife buys enough of the
money-saving items so her total
food bill is smaller than If she
bought only fresh items to be
prepared In her own kitchen.
For each 500 spent on food
In the grocery store, 90 cents
goes for frozen orange juice
concentrate, a popular conven-
fence food. An equal amount of
fresh orange juice prepared in
the home would cost $l.39. And
this does not include the value
of the time saved in preparing
the juice.

The label limitation" needno

George Vapaa, Kent county
agent.
The US. Department of Ag-
riculture has modified the for
mer regulation that applied to
hams and similar pork pro-
ducts and allows the packer to
print on the product the words
"water added" and to state
the amount that is added, says
the agent. An Injunction by the
US. District Court restrained
the USDA from requiring that
such products be labeled as
imitation, he said.
The regulations prescribe the
manner of application of the re-
quired terms and the size and
style of the lettering in order
to be easily readable by the
buyer.
Only products prepared under

Your standard Extended
Benefits contract provides two

days. That sounds like a long
time, and it is.
However, when illness comes,
you need each and every one
of these beneft-days. And Blue

help you use them wisely. For
instance, did you know that
when you begin to use your
Extended Benefits protection,
each day is counted as a day of
care-until 80 days elapse dur
ing which no care is used.
Here is an example of what
this means. You are hospital
lied the first five days of
August and, after discharge
from the hospital, you have an
appointment with your doctor
on August 10. If you were to
submit a claim for the 50 COW
