a a a Ad" Service KI 5-4000 THE DAILY HOME NEWS, NEW BRUNSWICK, N. THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1958. Of Social Interest. 25 First Day The Hardest UNITED NATIONS (A) For American children the first day of life is three times as hazardous as the last four weeks before normal term birth. This is brought out in figures published by the World Health Organization.

The figures are the first the agency has compiled on deaths period, in from the the 28th so-called week perinatal. nancy through the first week of life. Of all U.S. deaths in this period from 1952 through 1954, 32.8 per cent occurred on the day of birth, against 10 per cent in the 36th through the 39th weeks of pregnancy. Ten per cent occurred on the second day of life, 18.2 per cent in the 40th week of pregnancy and afterward (among potential 10th month babies) and lesser percentages at other times.

In Canada the trend was roughly the same. But in Japan only 7.4 per cent of the deaths occurred on the first day of life, compared with 38.2 per cent i in the ninth month of pregnancy, and in Italy the corresponding figures were 19.9 and 41.1 per cent. A note with the statistics remarked that causes of death just before and just after the time for birth had become more important because mortality during this crucial period had dropped less markedly and more slowly than mortality in infancy generally. In the first week of life, New York City figuers disclosed, 37.5 per cent of all babies who died weighed pounds or less at birth. Hungarian Democrats Donate to CP Fund Twenty-five dollars was donated to the Cerebral Palsy building fund last night by the American Hungarian Women's Democratic Organization, at a meeting at the club rooms.

The group also discussed plans for a bus trip to Pennsylvania. Refreshments were served by Mrs. Frank Schretter and Mrs. Andrew Shirokman, Mrs. Stephen Komuves and Mrs.

Louis Koblos. Fish and Fowl Prices Down for Weekend, Many Vegetables in Plentiful Supply By The Associated Press Fish and fowl will take the place of meat on many dinner tables this weekend, judging by the specials to be featured in the nation's supermarkets and neighborhood grocery stores. Variety is the key word in both cases. Fish offerings range from the less expensive smelts and cod or haddock fillets to items such as scallops and shad or halibut steaks. The persevering shopper can find just about any kind of fowl, too.

Most stores these days sell chicken parts, so the housewife can gear her purchases to the family's preferences. Some stores now offer a single price for different styles in broilers or fryers. Beef prices were about unchanged this week, although the wholesale price went up again. Pork chops were higher in some areas, but eggs were down 2 to 6 cents a dozen in most places. A decline was about due, experts said, and from now on omelets should be progressively cheaper until hot weather hits and the hens lay fewer eggs.

Hen output, it seems, always drops in extremely cold or hot weather. Round steak or roast is most prominent among specials on beef, while picnic hams frequently mentioned among pork cuts and leg of lamb is the most popular in that category. Vegetables Good Buy Housewives can find good buys in potatoes, onions, spinach, carrots and broccoli to round out their meals. Potatoes are a bit higher as fall crop supplies gradually diminish and new potatoes trickle in from southern fields. Onions also are mostly from storage crops, plus a few white boilers from Mexico.

Sweet potatoes are fairly good buy. In the same category are cabbage, another vegetable where the new crop is slow to replace last fall's, and asparagus. Radishes and greens such as collards and turnip greens also are rated fairly good buys by produce men. Lettuce is sharply higher. Market men say it's because supplies from California's imperial are tapering off and lettuce from Arizona and other sections of California is just getting started.

Beans are still high with supplies ing from a late Florida crop planted after the freezes there. Apples Plentiful Winesap and Delicious apples from Western orchards are a good buy in fruit bins. Most of the eastern apples are tending to ripeness and irregular condition by now, except for those from "controlled atmosphere" storage. Lemons are plentiful and attractively priced. A few boxes of strawberries are available at fairly high prices, with a drop expected when the Louisiana crop starts coming in around April 1.

It Sounds Like 'For Worse' To Us, That's 'For Sure PROVO, Utah (A) Coeds Brigham Young University constantly doing what any wife knows can't be done- eating on 50 cents a day when meat and potatoes come high. The girls don't seem to lose weight; hey get nutritious but simple meals and they have a reasonably varied diet. They do it in a sort of combat for senior students of a course homemaking. The homemaking instructors feel every girl should learn how to avoid starvation in hard times. A Lot of Potatoes For nine day stretches, two of the girls, move to a separate apartment set up by the university.

Mrs. Stella Lewis, homemaking instructor, hands over "hubby's" paycheck--a measly $10 for the nine-day period. One girl becomes "husband" or "host" and other becomes "planner" or "wife." With these trappings of reality, the shoestring campaign begins. Just to prove that life needn't be all steak, potatoes and dolLars, seniors Pauline Barlow, 22, and Rachel Schmidt, 23, produced the following evening meal: Beef stew, dumplings, tossed salad with microscopic slice of bacon and a razor-thin egg slice, milk, whole mixed with powdered c. p'.

v're" i- The cost: just over 49 cents tor both girls- or about 28 cents each. Sumptuous dinners like that mean breakfast and lunch must be held to pennies per girl. The meals wouldn't provide ballast for a lumberjack's fork, but they would hold him until he could find a restaurant. Mrs. Lewis says the girls have no day--that truble all living of on them 50 turn cents back a dollar or two from the $10 paycheck.

They are required to prepare three meals daily. Skipping breakfast or lunch brings on a wave of icebox raiding that depletes the budget. Some of the girls plan to become home economics instructors or kitchen equipment demonstrators. Others are fully aware they probably won't snag a millionaire. And they are preparing for the possible "worese" in the "for better or for worse" clause.

Too Much Sun SANTA MONICA, Calif. -The daughter of television comedians George Burns and Gracie Allen has obtained a divorce on testimony her husband preferred beach life to family life. Mrs. Sandra Jean Wilhoite, 23, testified in support of her cruelty charge that Young James Wilhoite, 28, film production executive, spent "a lot of time at beach leaving me alone with the children."
