Isabel Wolf, administrator of the Human Nutrition Information Service, said the plans consist of foods that provide well-balanced meals and snacks for a week. In computing the costs, USDA assumes all food is bought at the store and prepared at home. Costs do not include alcoholic beverages, pet food, soap, cigerattes. paper goOtfc and other nonfood items bought at the store. USDA costs are only guides to spending. Families may spend more or less, depending on such factors as where they buy their food, how carefully they plan and buy. whether some food is produced at home, what foods the family likes and how much food is prepared at home. Most families will find the moderate-cost or low-cost plan suitable. The thrifty plan, which USDA uses to set the coupon allotment in the food stamp program. is for families who have "tighter budgets. Families with Unlimited resources might use the liberal plan.

23TH ANNIVERSARY — Robert and Martha (Fordyce) Hepler, r 1 box 2A Syracuse, are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary today (Wednesday). The couple was married on February 13, 1960.

To use the chart to estimate your family’s food costs: For members eating all meals at home — or carried from home — use the amounts shown in the chart. For members eating some meals out, deduct five percent from the amount shown for each meal not eaten at home. Thus, for a person eating lunch out five days a week, substract 25 percent. or one-fourth the cost shown. For guests, add five percent of the amount shown for the proper age group for each meal. Costs in the second part of the chart are for individuals in fourperson families. If your family has more or less than four, total the “individual” figures and make these adjustments, because larger families tend to buy and use food more economically than smaller oners: For a one-person family, add 20 percent. For a two-person family, add 10 percent. For a three-person family, add five percent. For a five- or six-person family, subtract five percent. For a family of seven or more, subtract 10 percent. Details of the four family food plans are available from the Nutrition Education Division, Human Nutrition Information Service, USDA, Federal Building. Hyattsville, Md. 20782.

Dick Wysong speaks to Kiwanians Dick Wysong of Wawasee High School spoke at the Friday morning meeting of the Milford Kiwanis Club concerning adult education offered at the high school. Five areas covered by the program were career education, work skills, employability skills, advance training, and basics. Wysong brought out several facts about today’s young people concerning further education. Only 50 percent of the children who go on to college actually graduate. Os the 50 percent who graduate, 9 out of 10 move to another area. Another point brought out by Wysong was that while only 17 percent of the jobs in America require a four year degree, Indiana now ranks 41st in dollars spent on education in the United States. Working in the Wawasee, Fairfield, and West Noble School Systems, Wysong has been able to put together an excellent program. In fact, over 1,000 adults attended some type of class or classes within the last year. The Kiwanis Club agreed that Wysong’s program is a real benefit to not only those who participate, but to the community as well. Other news concerning the Kiwanis Club includes the governer’s banquet on February 8 with four couples from the club attending, the distribution of food on Wednesday, Feb. 13, to 12 needy families in the area, and the next meeting on Friday which starts at 6:45 a.m. at the Community Building. The program Friday will be “Meet Your Superintendent” with Dr. Kenneth Webster of Wawasee as the guest. The meeting is open for anyone who wishes to attend.
