God created us with infinite
potential to be a self-moti

looking beyond the mists of
doubts, fears, and anxieties,
we will find new and miracu

TASTY DISH TIP
Good eating never goes against
the grain.
And this month the grain is
rice. Newton County home
makers trying to trim their food
budgets might want to try this
tasty dish.
It is a mixture of rice, cheese
and chicken. Here is what you
need:
One onion
One tablespoon fat or oil.
Three cups water or chicken
broth
One cup uncooked rice
One and one-half cups cut-up
cooked chicken
One cup cut-up cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Chop onion and cook in fat
or oil until tender. Add water
or chicken broth. Heat to boil
ing and add rice. Lower heat,
cover and cook 20 minutes. Add
chicken, cheese, salt and pepper
and cook over very low heat until
cheese melts. You can expect
about six servings of this dish
using this recipe.

YOUR FOOD DOLLAR
You’re right when you say you
pay more for groceries today than
you did eight or nine years ago.
Costs at the grocery store for
U. S. farm foods have risen 14
percent during the 1960’5. The
largest share of the upswing has

come since 1964, says the Con
sumer and Marketing Service of
Agriculture.
The Consumer Price Index has
increased 20.4 percent during the
same period.
The standard used to measure
changing costs, called the Mar
ket Basket, is a fixed amount of
food produced on U. S. farms
that is bought by an average
household in a year. This gauge
shows food costs rose at an an
nual average of 0.6 percent be
tween 1957-59 and 1964. The
increase averaged 2 1/2 percent
every year between 1964 and
1968.
On the other hand, food costs
did not Increase as fast as the
wages of food buyers. Percen
tage of income spent by average
Americans for food declined from
20.7 percent in 1957 to 17.4
percent in 1967.
Farmers received 39 cents out
of the food dollar in 1968—an
increase of one cent over 1967.
The farmer’s share, arranged by
food groups, varied from 19 cents
out of a dollar for bakery and
cereal products to 55 cents for
poultry and eggs.
Where did the remaining 61
cents of the food dollar go? This
went to processors, packagers,
transporters and all other
persons involved in bringing food
from the farm to the retail store
checkout counter.
