household equipment, cars and

In Mason County, it shows, the
largest outlays were for food. More
money went in this direction than
in any other.
The sales volmne in local meat
markets, grocery stores, bakeries,
delicatessens and the like added
up to an impressive $6,103,000,
exceding the previous year's $5,-
863,000.
And this represented only food
bought for home consumption. Not
included is the amount spent in
restaurants and in other dining
and drinking places.
IN EFFECT, 31 cents out of
every dollar spent in local retail
stores was for take-home food.
It was a greater proportion than
was used for food in most commu-
nities. Elsewhere in the United
States, 24 cents of the dollar was
so-spent and, in the Pacific States,
23 cents.
The report shows that the
amount of food purchased in Ma-
son County for home consumption
would amount to $1,096 per house-
hold if distributed equally among
the loc,al population.
• In the next few weeks The Jour-
nal will present in installment
form an account of the 2½-month
trip to Europe made by Mrs. Flo-
rence Lawton of Shelton in the
period between May 9 and July 20.
The account is compiled from let-
ters she wrote home to her son
and daughter in Shelton, Joe Simp-
son and Mrs. Virginia Driver, and
compiled into album-diary form
by Mrs. Simpson.
The trip took Mrs. Lawton from
New York by airliner to Portugal,
thence to Spain, France, Italy,
Switzerland, Ireland, England,
Holland and Denmark.
Although her trip was planned
in the sense that it carried a defi-
nite schedule, it was not with a
tour group, Mrs. Lawton traveling
