owuwevueesvurr re vee ' THE OSHAWA TIMES WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1962 New Crisis Expected For Brazil RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) --Brazilians are faced with an- other crisis in their newly - formed parliamentary system as South America's biggest na- tion prepares for congressional elections Oct. 7. Shortages in basic commodi- ties such as rice, beans and macaroni, which caused recent food riots on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, have grown worse and there is the constant threat of strikes in industry. The government has prom- ised swift action and emer- gency aid for the hungry. But, with only weeks to remain in office, it wields little real power. Behind the scenes and in pub- lic, president Joao Goulart is working for a return to the presidential system abandoned when he came to office after the resignation of J anio Qua- dros. DISLIKE PRESENT SYSTEM Both he and the general pub- lic have every reason to be dis- satisfied with the present sys- tem. Inflation continues unchecked. Basic reforms are urgently needed to implement the U,S.- backed Alliance for Progress aid program but they remain unpassed as members of Con- gress travel the country on their election campaigns. In the Congress building in Brasilia, there is rarely a quorum these days. Foreign capital investment, also urgently needed to main- tain the tempo of Brazil's indus- trialization and provide produc- tion equipment, is being with- held, because of regulations strangling investment and moves to appropriate foreign public utility companies. Although full and adequate compensation has been prom. ised by Goulart for every for- eign company taken over, vis- iting businessmen are wary of investing in a country without security. As one leading banker said: "Investors cannot help remembering these unfriendly acts."" CONCERNED ABOUT FOOD At the. moment Brazilians Mm the city areas are less con- cerned with the election than with the question of where their next meal is coming from. Lines of up to 2,000 persons form every time a truckload of sugar or rice or beans arrives --and half of them go home empty-handed. In the new cof- fee areas of Parana, frost has killed off young coffee trees, spelling disaster for thousands of homes in the coming year. In the drought - ridden north- east, Alliance for Progress funds are only slowly beginning to tackle the problems of star- vation, disease and illiteracy. Alaska Given Transfusion Of Money ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reu- ters) -- The state treasury has received another big financial transfusion as the result of Alaska's ninth competitive auc- tion for oil and gas leases, Major North American oil firms bid $15,731,090 during the July auction -- more than $1,- 000,000 above the figure for the last previous auction on similar offshore tracts in December, 1961. The money is expected to be used for capital improvement in Alaska. A report from the state's di- vision of lands shows the extent to which petroleum exploration ventures have helped to fill the Alaskan treasury. The state income during the 1962 fiscal year from Timber, gravel, minerals and land to. talled $22,764,000. Even before the July sale, "windfall reve- nue" from petroleum lease con- uses amounted to more than $20,000,000. The bidding in July was on 89 tracts comprising 361,880 acres. Winning bids ranged from 21 cents to a record $805.31 an acre. The average worked out to $43.47 an acre. Shell Gil Company, Richfield Oil Corporation and Standard Oil Company of California paid the highest sum in the sale -- $3,307,200 'for one tract. Baby Offered For New House DERBY, England (Reuters)-- Mrs. Jean Rook, a mother of six, offered Monday to give away her month-old baby in ex- change for a house. Mrs.. Rook, baby Jacqueline and her five other children, have been staying at a city council welfare home here and her unemployed husband, Jim, 35, at a Salvation Army men's hostel, since they were evicted from their low - rent council home. "The family should stick to- gether and we have tramped the streets to get a home," said Mrs. Rook. "'Now in despera- tion we have made this decision. We love the baby very much, Lunch-box treats, like this spicy coffee cake, will be in big demand when school bells ring again next week.

In cooking meat, always bear in mind that the recipe must suit the cut which you wish to cook. For instance, never try to roast a piece of boiling beef, or to stew veal cutlets. The general principles in cooking meat are, first get the surface seared quickly to pre- vent the escape of juices, and then to finish the cooking at a temperature as low as pos- sible. A high temperature toughens and hardens the muscle fibre. Follow these simple rules and buy meats at your A & P Food Store and you will be delighted with the results. a NG Sn gee hace ee - ae PPE OP aT eee ee eee eT OI GED CET EES individual cut is pre-wrapped, price-and-weighte marked for easy selection, SAVE during the GIANT ctrvleup the pantry Sebel $-X BRAND SLICED COOKED ASSORTED COLD CUTS EXTRA SPECIAL 16-0r 69: Pkg.
