And sometimes it's difficult to decide which things are most inportant, according to Louise Young, home management spe- ialist at the University of Wisconsin. To help the family budget watch for ways to save a little here and there.

Watch new products as they come out to see if they give more or do a better job. Be systematic about shopping. This means planning ahead and making a list of things needed instead of going to the store and just buying anything. The time of buying can make a real difference. "Perhaps you can buy for Christmas during the summer or fall when you can find what you want and you have the time to look," says Miss Young.

Be a bragain watcher, but remember that sales have a purpose. Stores don't just have sales without a reason. Usually they have left over merchandise on hand or they are discontinuing a line. Sometimes they want to create a new demand. Be aware of these things and buy only what is needed, or sale bargains may be a waste of money.

Be aware of the kind of markets there are, such as the cash and carry grocery store as compared to the store that delivers. Compare products as well as prices. Watch for government standards that have been set up on items. labels for information. Investigate before investing, don't buy on impulse." Negro to Appeal Murder Conviction BROWNSVILLE, Tenn.
