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.

many people expect a child who’s
never been disciplined to have
complete control of his behavior.

ren are burn with instincts fur
exploring and trying nut new
things. 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.
