of being out of them since the
demand fo r them was so
large. But, if you can, when
you get more, I’d sure like to
have one for my husband. He
is a diabetic.
Also. sir. is there any way
you could advise me or help
me to get the suppliers to put
more foods on the market
here in Reading for diabet
ics. Gosh, it is so hard to buy
foods for diabetics here.
And wht t they do have is so

Dear Mrs. Barcz: A diabet

I got a few more from the USV
Pharmaceutical Corp. ...
odds and ends, and they em
phasized they are all out and
not planning to print more.
However, a cook book for
diabetics has been written by-
Jeanne Jones, called “The
Calculating Cook.” It is pub
lished by 101 Productions of
San Francisco. You might ask
in your book store for that.
As to getting the Reading
markets to stock more food
for diabetics, I think they
probably are doing the best
they can now. Maybe a spe
cialty food shop or health food
store might be the answer.

Meat
bargain?
By GAYNOR MADDOX
The statement that “meat
is still a bargain at today's
prices" will anger many a
housewife
It comes from Reba Staggs,
home economics director of
the National Live Stock and
Meat Board. Hers is one of
the most reliable, experienced
voices in the tumult over the
continuing high costs of beef,
pork and lamb.
“A woman protests violent
ly every time meat prices go
tip a few cents. " Miss Staggs
says and asks, “does she pro
test with equal force when
prices at her beauty parlor go
up? Or. about the rising costs
of Scotch or rye or bourbon?
Or. the high cost of a movie
ticket?"
She tells of a recent trip to
Kansas. Texas and other cat
tle-raising states.
“In Kansas there was grow
ing fear of the fuel shortage.
It might cause failure to bring
in the harvest. In Texas on
some ranches they had only
enough fu n l for the next day.
Fuel is just one of their wor
ries. Raising meat is a tough
job and often needs the help
of bankers to finance large
operations. It is a very com
plicated industry. Only in the
past few years have cattlemen
been making a fair living."
she says.
She points to the loss of cat
tle in California due to mois
ture and cold, to losses in
Wyoming and Colorado be
cause of unseasonable snows.
“Every creature lost to a
herd means a cash loss. Many
consumers forget that." she
adds.
“I notice." she says, “that
women want everything in a
hurry. They shop in a hurry.
They prepare dinner in a hur
ry. They make love in a hur
ry. That is usually an expen
sive way of living. A little
more meal planning with at
tention to taste appeal and
nutrition content would save
them money. Perhaps they
might then not be tempted by
'impulse buying' — see it.
want it. regardless of cost.'
Miss Staggs continues. “I
heard a woman complaining
loudly and bitterly in a Cali
fornia supermarket about the
price of steak. But I watched
her shop at the produce stall
and pay 80 cents for a small
section of watermelon and
$1.25 for a head of lettuce.
Her excuse would probably
be: But my family deserves
the best.'
The waste of leftovers con
tributes to the high cost of liv
ing. she claims.
“A woman sets a piece of
leftover meat in the refriger
ator. It gets pushed out of
sight and stays there two or
three days. Then it is no good.
It would be wiser to gauge
meat needs to avoid left
overs. which are often wasted,
and this costs money."
Miss Staggs says. “I urge
American housewives to ad
just to the high price of meat.
It will go even higher. I must
warn you. It is a bargain at
current prices. For far too
long we have taken meat
prices for granted, not facing
the costs of labor and hazards
and financial strain that go
into raising cattle. Now we
are being forced to. It is a
shock. Actually, it is more of
an adjustment to the true val
ue of things." she concludes.

Radiation
undetectable
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPI) -
The amount of radiation re
ceived in the United States
from the Communist Chinese
nuclear weapons test several
weeks ago was too low to
detect, the Atomic Energy
Commission said Monday.
China detonated a device with
a yield of one to three
megatons—up to three million
tons of TNT—and the AEC
since then has kept an eye on a
high altitude air mass moving
toward this country from the
test area.
The mass has passed over the
United States, and readings at
monitoring stations were “with
in the range of natural
background” radiation — the
ever-present radiation produced
from natural sources-the AEC
said.
Comes in handy
COLOGNE, West Germany
(UPI) — Cologne was swelter
ing in a heat wave Monday
when police called out a
snowplow to clear up a highway
littered with 10 tons of broken
lemonade bottles.
A police spokesman said the
bottles smashed on the highway
after a 23-year-old truck driver
fell asleep at the wheel. The
truck crashed but the driver
escaped unhurt
