We Averaged $512 For Food In 1969 BY ANN LEE McPHAIL Clemson Extension Consumer Editor : In 1969 we spent more per person than we did in ’68-- $512 in 1969 compared to $494 in 1968. We might have spent even more than we did if we had not reacted differently to prices we have in other recent rs. For the first time in many jESti-s, the trend toward more a- iay-from-home eating slowed (Sown, as did the upswing in red Bieat consumption regardless of tjie cost of either. i: In 1969 we ate about the same amount of food per person as we did in 1968, but supply and Resulting prices doubtless played some part in our choice of food type. Though it is often said fiat consumers will buy the foods they want regardless of price, the trend has been to reduce use of each food as price increases, except in the case of beef. This year increased beef prices have not caused decreased use of beef, but beef consumption increased less than any other recent year. Increased prices for pork, milk and eggs have obviously played a part in decreased use of these commodities since last year, but milk and egg consumption have decreased in other years when prices have been more stable. Poultry consumption has con tinued to increase with little price change because of its imporved position in competition with higher red meat prices. So what is for 1970? Again we promise a slow-down in the up swing of food prices for the new year, particularly in the first half. Red meat prices are not to be any lower in view'of re duced supplies of pork and con stant demand for beef. Prices for dairy products, cereals and baked goods, sugars, sweets and coffee may continue gradually upward but steady to lower prices for some foods probably will reflect larger supplies. These include fruits, potatoes, chicken and eggs. Prices of fresh and pro cessed fruits are expected to be favorable to consumers through out the winter and cost of fats and oils should show little change. It is true that our food prices increase a little to a lot each year but so long as incomes in crease at a faster pace, food price increases are unavoidable. Even if they were, there is no place where we could do better. The 16.5 percent of our incomes we spend for food is lower than that spent by people of other nations. Other than the United States, only people of Canada and Australia spend less than one- fourth of their incomes for food. In most other countries, from a third to a half of the average family income goes for food. * OSES BLOOMING ^ BARGAINS .2i Reg. 79 c Pack Save58‘ GILLETTE Sup«r Stainless Steel Razor Blades .'2>. 5 Blades Per Pack reserve the right to limit m Reg. 1.37 Save53‘ 4 02.

They are like mirrors, reflecting directly ur indirectly the feelings and actions of peo ple around i .em. They soon learn that all people aren't alike and begin to experiment with different ways of behaving. Children need help in sorting out behavior pat terns and learning which are ac ceptable for them. To begin, learn what good dis cipline is. In “Teaching Your Child Right from Wrong”, good discipline, which pavesthe way to self-discipline, allows a child self-respect while he learns re spect for the rights and feelings of others. Here are some sug gestions for achieving this goal. Set reasonalbe limits. A good guide to follow is that the only fair and necessary restrictions are those that prevent a child from endangering himself or others, or infringing on the rights of others. Create an atmosphere of love and courtesy, and a child will absorb these ideas. Most adults insist that children say “please” and “thank you” to them, but they never think of giving the same courtesy in return. Children are people, too. Treat a child as a reasonable being who can understand simple, logical explanations. And re member that he learns a lot by example. Remember that one reason for discipline is to help a child handle situations that may be be yond his knowledge or ability. So don’t give in just because he pro tests. But do be ready to review restrictions and remove them as a child learns to handle situa tions for himself. Avoid the need for punishment by giving a child materials, space, and time for acceptable activities. Mischief often results from idleness and boredom. When you must scold a child, make him understand that it is his actions you dislike, n^t child himself. Telling a child repeatedly that he is a bad, r naughty, ur stupid child destroys his self-respect. Say instead, "I still love you, but I'm very un happy about the thing you’ve just done.” How do these guidelines fit the idea of permissive discipline, which has been a popular term for the past few years? Permiss iveness has been misconstrued to mean that you permit a child to do whatever he wants -- that you never say “no”. Permissive discipline really is good disci pline, “setting limits appropriate for a child's stage of 1 develop ment, not unreasonably restric tive, but ones he can understand and accept comfortably. Understand what good disci pline is - this will help you to live more happily with the child ren you know, but it won’t pre vent you from facing the prob lem of punishment. Gear punishment to a child’s age and level of understanding, and to the disobedience involved. If Jerry ignores the outdoor boundaries his mother has set, she is justified in keeping him indoors for the rest of his play time. Taking away the trip to the zoo promised him for the next Saturday would be an unfair and unreasonable punishment. Review the results of punish ment. if it makes a child misbe have more, the punishment is wrong. Good discipline and just pun ishment are teaching tools. Use them wisely and be ready when the time comes to turn over the controls to the reasonable md reqjonsible people your children have become.
