Wise Buyers Avoided Scare Buying—Reap Bargain Reward of Price War
If left to her own devices, the American housewife could do a pretty good job of price control on her own hook.
The most graphic illustration of this little-recognized fact is the recent price-cutting that has been going on all over the country on items that a few months earlier were supposed to be hard to get.
Such things as electric refrigerators, sewing machines, ranges, mixers, television sets and kitchen sinks are available now at prices that have been cut from 10 to 33½ per cent since spring. These reductions vary in different parts of the country, of course, and with different dealers. The amount of the price cut usually depends on how heavily the degler is overstocked.
In some instances, however, the reductions have been made by the manufacturers, many of whom also found themselves with too much stock on hand.
And what brought about this carnival of bargains?
It was the plain common sense of Mrs. U. S. A. herself, who simply decided not to buy.
There was, you may remember, a big buying rush in January, when the word went out that a severe shortage was due in so-called "hard goods"—the home appliances and furniture mentioned above.
Many people were convinced that if they didn't get that new refrigerator or washing machine butcher's display counter under its astronomical price tag.
These same housewives who held off so cannily at the time of peak prices still aren't rushing in to snap up all the bargains offered. They are wondering if prices may not go lower still.
But a survey of department store ads in city newspapers shows there are many thrifty buys available now which may not last too long.
Such things as refrigerators and stoves probably won't go much lower in price, and the new restrictions on metals may cut down production next fall.
If you need clothes for the family, you can find bargains in summer clearance sales all over the place, and by judicious selection probably can buy the year-round kind of garments that will do duty for several seasons.
Household linens also should be available at reduced prices in the August white sales.
Men's shirts, children's pajamas and play clothes, women's nylon stockings—all these may be found at current clearances.

There was, you may remember, a big buying rush in January, when the word went out that a severe shortage was due in so-called "hard goods"—the home appliances and furniture mentioned above.
Many people were convinced that if they didn't get that new refrigerator or washing machine right then they would have to make the old one do until the end of a probable World War III.
But there were others who decided not to be stamped into a lot of scare buying, and simply sat back and waited.
Those are the shoppers who now are taking advantage of the current savings, and are being pretty smug about it, too.
The same thing has happened to the predicted beef shortage. Instead of bidding for steak at any price, and thus encouraging new black markets, the average American housewife has been ordering chicken, turkey and ham this summer and leaving the beef in the

The morning mail brought this request:
"Dear Mrs. White: I am coming to you for help for I have been put in charge of a dinner for 200 people and am at a loss to know how to plan for so many. Can you suggest a moderate cost menu and the amounts needed to serve that many?"
The problem of a "meal for many" is a surprisingly common one in Anaheim these days when so many volunteer organizations plan their programs around the focal point of food. We are always glad to answer questions in this column, but in regard to large quantity food service, no two situations are the same and we need to know the background details in order to be helpful. We contacted the above writer to find out the equipment available, the method of service, how much help she would have, etc., and our suggestions are now on their way.
It is evident that many clubs and church groups get around the problem by serving pot luck. With the meat situation as it is, some are finding it practical to have a committee prepare the meat dish, leaving the salad, vegetables and dessert to be furnished by the dinner pot luck.
As a plate lunch, this was particularly attractive because the class planned for contrasting textures in the food and harmonizing colors for eye appeal.
The salad, served on a lettuce leaf, was made with packaged jello to which fresh and canned fruit was added to yield five servings per box of jello. Peas, a half cup per serving, were cooked at the last minute to preserve their fresh green color, and ten pounds were used.
The base for the spice pudding was the packaged mix prepared according to the directions on the box. Then for each box of mix, the following sauce was made: two cups of brown sugar dissolved in two cups of hot water and boiled for three minutes. This thin sauce was poured over the cake batter in the pan. The cake or pudding was then baked for 30 minutes at 375 degrees, cooled and cut in squares, and the thickened sauce poured over each piece. The final flourish was a topping of whipped dehydrated milk.
Home and School For Retarded Children Planned
Plans to organize an association for Lutheran Home and School for Retarded children were made last night in a meeting held in the home of A. J. Schutte, 400 E. Alberta st.
A group of laymen have been meeting under a temporary organization seeking to stimulate interest in such a home. Quizzing the West Coast area through religious publications, the group found that interest in such an establishment centers in the Pacific Northwest.
Schutte reported on a meeting of the Redwood Empire zone of the Lutheran Women's Missionary league, held last week in San Rafael. He addressed one of the sessions and was requested by the league to organize a permanent association, so that the women may give financial support.
Paul Yorde, temporary chairman announced the organizational and election meeting has been set tentatively for Sept. 9 in Zion Lutheran church, Anaheim, pending approval of church officials.
Tentative plans for the home include location on a large acreage with the enrollment to be open to children of all creeds, Yorde said. He added that actual location of the home will depend on the permanent association.

In An Emergency
A number of Anaheim home-makers have just finished the Red Cross canteen course designed to instruct home-makers in the essentials of group feeding, especially in case of emergency. A week ago, after only three lessons, the most recent canteen class served a sample emergency meal to 50 persons in the park. Small wonder at the efficiency since the class was composed of good cooks and willing workers like Myrtle Webber, Alma Hamann, Ellene Callor, Cella Rinehart, Elena Graves and Mrs. Claude Barnett.

Korean War
(Continued from Page 1)
Air scouts spotted half a dozen people in Kaesong today but couldn't tell whether they were reds, Allies or civilians. A U.N. patrol headed for the city for the third successive day while engineers swept mines from the "peace road" the U.N. delegation will travel if it goes by jeep.
Forty-four U.N. planes blasted a red stronghold on the western front 20 miles northeast of Kaesong. It was one of three mass air strikes Friday. The others were by American jets on two red air fields. One is 40 miles north of Pyongyang and the other 40 miles southeast of the red Korean capital.
Without firing a shot—or being shot at—an armored U.N. patrol rumbled up the western side of the "iron triangle" to its tip and entered Pyongyang. But another tank-led patrol was stopped by heavy fire on the east side of the triangle six miles from Pyongyang.
East of the triangle reds hurled three small counterattacks at U.N. lines and engaged in periodic artillery exchanges.
A single communist plane ushered in Friday's fighting. It dropped a few small bombs near Allied positions on the western front, about 30 miles from Kaesong. U.N. planes were back in the air on rocketing and bombing strikes after flying only 470 missions Thursday.
