WEDNESDAY. MARCH 12. FOUR PAGES TODAY NUMBER 19 New City Budget Ok'd At Commission Meeting FILE Grocery shopping, whether it is done in the neighborhood store or the downtown supermarket, has become a highly perplexing chore. And self-service, self-reliance, self-resistance, rather than simplifying the task, have only added to the confusion. Even the purchase of a loaf ct bread, if the bakery department lies past the spiced meats, frozen fruits and ice creams, can put the unwary shopper into a Elate of virtual shock.

However, hope seemed on the way last week as Miss Helen Honeyhome, who is an expert in grocerizing, told my wife: groceries under the new system is no at all. Throw away your lists, and cast aside your worries. Use the touch" system in buying. Then, shopping becomes a creative art, like painting a picture or composing a song. Mood buying is the answer." It all sounded very interesting.

Then yesterday, I started down the rivrkel canyons, between lowering cliffs of cakt- taix and pizza, pie, I discovered I was following Miss Koney- home. She and another lady were pushing baskets two abreast. Since barging past would be even more ill- mannered lhan playing through. golf foursome, I tagged along. Miss Honeyhome seemed in a rare shopping mood.

She talked fluently, conversing completely ad lib. Never once did she stop to refer to notes, or to a previously prepared topic: "It was a marveaous speech, actually," she told her friend. "But of course, somewhat stereotyped. 'Ladies and he said. 'It is with deepest humility that I accept the honor which has been-beslowed upon me er a TfeMgerator motor rattled, and the remainder of the sentence was lost.

However, I noted Miss Honey- home scarcely paused in her gait as she reached out for two cans of corn. Then she said: "Who is the woman by the chipped soaps? Is that the new supervisor's wife. Oh, you know her. Of course introduce me. It's a pleasure to meet you, my 6'ear.

And do hope you enjoy your stay with us in our city. Oh, I'm not really shopping. Just buying a thing or two. I had just picked up this little old package of honey when I saw you. Oh, it is dripping, isn't it then I'll just put it back and get another." She smiled cozily and moved on down the aisle.

"Look at the Bartells," she exclaimed. "What a cute couple. And they have their two darling children with them today." Miss Honeyhome selected two boxes of ready-mixed vegetables. Then she turned to her companion: "I didn't tell you about the annual convention, did All the tosses were there, strutting around like "big shots I saw her hand toward ihe deviled crab. Then the put it down and stepped to the next shelf where ihe chose a bottle of large, stuffed olives.

"And here is the boss himself," she gasped, on turning a corner. "How do you do Mr. Harming- lon. It is a nice day to be shopping. I feel in just the right mood.

In fact when I saw you, I was just about to say 'Cheese'. The yellow package brightened Miss Honeyhome's growing purchases. She stopped 1 short. "Don't look now. but there is Mrs.

Falsetto over between the margarine and matches. Do you sea that gaudy jewelry she's wearing?" A of aluminum foil was added to the shopping basket. "Can you imagine anyone with that much nerve marching up and down town with her head in the air. Why, I wouldn't even put my foot outside, the door. Oh, butcher.

A pound of barbecue, and: chop it fine. She looked around: "There's Harry. The drip. I. don't care if I ever see him again.

Butcher, I'd like some of the shoulder, too. Ready cooked. I think I'll want to serve it cold." That apparently completed the shopping expedition and Miss Honeyhome docked in a checking stall. There was no doubt she had discovered a new system and marvelously simple too. After a moment's wait, I was next.

"Oh, Mr. Burnburger," said the cashier, "you're not buying bird seed and pork chops tonight, like always. This time you have two cans "of applesauce and 1 razzber- Adoption of a 1958-59 budget calling" for expenditures of $143,103.75 in the general fund was the principal business of the Tuesday evening meeting of the Commerce City Commission at the City Hall.

Stale Tax Study Sounds Warning New Levies Near AUSTIN (ff) New warning signals that Texnns face a near future general sales tax or income tax blaze out in the state tax study commission's latest research report. The report makes no recommendation for any new levy, but its factual study of the Texas tax notes among other things that Texas alone among its neighboring states and the states of larger population throughout the nation is not using either a general sales tax or an income tax.
