Sunday might be an ex- cellent day to vary the menu by plan- | | ning either a fruit or vegetable salad that is almost a meal in itself. And | many are the fruit and le com- binations which might be selected from | the markets this week. Cabbage, pep- pers, cauliflower, celery and tomatoes are all specially pri and lettuce, and peas remain at the low prices they have been for the past few weeks. In the fruit line, fresh peaches, ph cantaloupes and cherries are for the week, and may be com- in fruit cups, or im their natural states. Here are three menus at different price levels planned by Cora Anthony of the A&P kitchen, with or vari- ations as an important part of the menu: Broiled Frankfurters Hot Potato Saiad with Sour Cream i Cherry Upside-Down Cake Coffee, Tea or Milk - Very Special Dinner Broiled Chicken New Potatoes with Butter Sauce Battered New Peas Rasperry, Blueberry Holle and Better Vanilla Ice Cream with Chocolate Sauce Tes, Coffee or Milk | aes time picking a driver for a buggy great majority of tax “bills will tat, it was generally conceded, show a reduction and the state Ava going any place.
