THE
lomemaking— Th 4 Good Buys This Month Inchide
Peaches and ‘Watermelons
IN AN EFFORT to help the housewife cope with rising prices of foodstuffs, the Office of Price Administration and Civilian Supply is cooperating with the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the Labor Department and the Consumers’ Counsel of the Department of Agriculture in suggesting good buys for the month of July. The following are among
Fall Fun
Dates Set for Events Opening the Social Season.
FA cooling note in the midst of a Hoosier July is the announcement of dates for events opening the fall social season. . : Oct.: 11 has been chosen as the date for the formal opening of the Indianapolis Athletic Club’s winter season. A supper dance that night will feature navel decorations and the appearance of a “name” band. After the opening dance, the club's weekly dance schedule will be resumed. Two weeks later, on Oct. 25, the Lambs Club will hold the first of its five frolics at the Columbia Club. * Pour other frolics will be held at two-month intervals. Another highlight of the season, the St. Margaret's Hospital Guild dance, probably will occur on the first Saturday of December at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. Plans for the latter will be inaugurated at the Guild’s annual meeting, - Sept. 23, when officers for the year are to be installed." :

the suggestions: Most fresh vegetables probably are in the “good buy” class during the month of July. So far this year many vegetables have been selling at‘above usual levels largely because of reduced supplies due to unfavorable weather conditions. With good weather, the prospect thus is for a
‘| marked decline in prices of most
fresh vegetables. Prices ordinarily are lowest in July when marketings are larger than they are in any other month. Watermelons probably will be a good buy in July relative to other months, but they may not be as cheap as they were last year. Cantaloupes will be good buys for this month. Since August ordinarily is the .month when cantaloupes are most plentiful, prices during July probably won't be as low as they will be later. For consumers who prefer Western .cantaloupes, July ordinarily is. the last month of very large marketings from California and Arizona. :

Quality of Peaches
PEACHES are good buys in both July and August in view of the unusually large crop available for marketing during these months. Heav= iest movement of this crop is expected during the last half of July and the early part of August. It is generally in this latter period that peaches preferred for canning are available. \ Quality in peaches is indicated by their general appearance and firmness of flesh. Top quality peaches are free from blemishes, have a fresh appearance, a ground color that is either whitish or yellowish and sometimes combined with a red color or blush, depending upon variety. The hest test of maturity is the firmness of the flesh. The red color, or blush, alone is not a true sign of maturity. Young chickens are good buys in July, if poultry fits in your budget. Much larger supplies than usual of both broiling and frying chickens are expected due to an extremely large hatch this spring. Beef prices are still high relative to recent years, but the difference between. top grade: (good and choice) beef and lower grade (commercial and utility) ‘beef is much narrower than it was earlier this year. .This change in relative prices of different grades of beef is partly seasonal, The margin generally narrows during the first half of the year and then widens again during much of the last half of the year. # un
2 Good Buys in Fish SUPPLIES AND PRICES of most
at any given season many species are available at attractive prices. Like fresh vegetables and fruits, many species of fish have their sea-
3/sons, and at such periods of abun-
dance they offer opportunities for consumer savings which should not
%| be overlooked. :
Because of heavy landings of fish
lon the New England coast at the
{| present time, the following species
4! Haddock, # perch), whiting, Boston mackerel,
are likely to be attractively priced: cod, rosefish (ocean
hake and scup (porgies). While
11 these species are available in almost
all sections of the country, the bulk of the catch is distributed in New
# England, the Middle Atlantic States, \ most of the Middle Western States
i abundant.
and in Southern States. Many fresh-water species from the Great Lakes are now seasonally In all areas supplied by
i | these fisheries and especially. in the
North Central and Middle Western States, consumers will find it worth
3|while to watch local markets for 4/such species as yellow perch, lake
herring, whitefish and blue pike. Current fishing operations on the
1| West Coast are providing large sup-
plies of salmon and halibut distributed over most of the country. Ad-

vail as increasing supplies-are available. Stocks of canned salmon have
{been further depleted recently and
practically no new supplies from the current canning operations are expected until later in the summer. This situation has been reflected by some increases in the retail price of
‘the item. The production of canned
tuna during the first four months
:lof 1941 is substantially below that ¢| for the corresponding period of last
year, Heavy production of Maine sardines is reported, but imports of sardines continue to be low. The
k | production of canned shrimp during
the 1940-41 season is still lagging behind that of the 1939-40 season.
