With the opening tomorrow of
Albertson's Food Center in La
Grande a new era in food service
fur the area will have been in
augurated. During a prc-opening preview
and tour of the store we dis
covered many new and interesting
aspects of the food service busi
ness. Perhaps the most outstanding
addition to the food service avail
able in Albertson's is the in-store
hot bakery. It is here that all of
Albertson's famous Dutch Girl
bakery products are baked fresh
every day. Albertson's is not a
huge bakery but more of a cus
.tomcr-lypc shop, where small
batches of bread is baked so that
they are able to have positive
control of quality at all times.
. We watched the bakers mak
ing the angel food cakes which
will' be one of the grand opening
features.
Moving from the bakery, which
is across the back of the store,
we come to the meat market.
Since meat is always the center
of every meal you women will
be interested in Albcrtson s over-
oil meat operation. In the beef
department Albertson's will be
carrying Swift's Premium - beef
from the processing plant in
Boise,-. All of :AlbcrUpn's beef isj
personally selected for the firm
by Harold Olofson, the market's
hicat specialist
The meat cutters will provide
a specialized service in that while
they have prepackaged self-serv
ice meats, the butchers are ever
aeady and anxious to provide spe
cial cuts of meat as desired by the
housewives.
" Albertson's meat market also
Carries a quantity of locally pro
cessed smoked meats and other
processed items.
We noted that Albertson's poul
try department carries only their
own grown and processed chick
ens and turkeys. We are told that
Albertson's raise their own fry-
Elgin Masons
Hold Dinner
ELGIN (Special (-Over 100 per
sons . attended a turkey dinner,
Saturday evening when the Ma
sonic members entertained their
families, members of the Eastern
Star and their families. Harry
Trump and Don Anson were in
charge of the dinner.
Following the dinner everyone
retired to the lodge room and the
men presented a program. Three
numbers were given by the High
school band, under the direction of
Dole Vaught.
A pantomime was then present
ed by several members of the Ma
sonic lodge. Bob Wiles Jr. was
' the narrator. Taking part were,
Lenn Allen, the rather; Emery
Oliver, the mother; Maurice Sher
wood, their daughter; John Hunt,
the villain; and Marvin Culver,
the fiance.
irs provided by their own hatch
cry. The firm raises almost two
million fryers a year for con
sumption through their own
stores.
Albertson's also carry a huge
stock of domestic and imported
cheeses, smoked meats, delicates
sen delicacies and a wide variety
ul pork items.
It's in the frozen food depart
ment that one suddenly realized
how much times have changed.
One can buy a complete frozen
ciinncr in almost any category he
should choose. There's tho usual
roast beef, fried chicken and roast
turkey dinners, but in addition
one can find tempting Chinese
Mid Mexican dinners or specialty
dishes. . ,
Albertson's also make all of
their own ice cream. Their brand
is called Dutch Girl and William
Cummings, store manager, point
ed out that the firm owns their
own' ice cream plant and makes
ice- cream fresh every day and
deliver s promptly to their stores
by a huge refrigerated diesel
truck. "We do this in order that
we can maintain a positive con
trol on the quality of the ice
cream we sell," said Cummings.
Moving along through the well
lighted and pastel decorated food
center we discover that Albert
son's carry a .conipletc line? :of
fruits and- vegethbles. ' Most ' of
I hem are kept garden fresh be
cause they are displayed in a
moist-cold refrigerated case. "We
do this," said Cummings, "be
cause we know that housewives
like their produce fresh and crisp
. . . not wilted and stale."
It's interesting to note how
much attention has been paid' to
the .installation of so many cus
tomer pleasing facilities. Cum
mings pointed out that the mod
ern facilities are put in at high
cost to please the housewives.
W'c want to make every visit to
Albertson's a pleasant one,"
Cummings said, "and we won't
spare .an expense when it comes
to providing something extra for
our good customers."
Albertson's will be presenting
each lady visiting the store tomor
row with a red rose and the man
ager said that he will have free
ice cream sandwiches for all of
he folks who drop in on opening
day.
A visit to La Grande's newest
member of the business community
should prove to be a delightful
l--ar't of your day tomorrow. We
certainly enjoyed our little per
sonal tour of thestore.

By Dolores Uria, Your
Home extension Agent
Remember to stick with the
rules and make Christmas season
more pleasant for all. tl When
cutting the tree, gel permission
from the owner selling trees is a
source of income to him. (21 When
buying trees, be sure you have a
bin ol sale to show purchase ot
the trees if you have three or
more.
When buying a Christmas tree
check its freshness by pulling at
the needles at the end of a branch..
If they have good resistance in
pulling off, they are relatively
fresh. If they come off easily,
they are not fresh and won't last
long in the home.
Here are other suggestions to
keep the tree fresh and safe:
1. Saw off base of tree trunk
to get a fresh cut which will
absorb water.
2. Set tree in wafer, check daily
and add water if necessary,
3. Don't use lighted candles on
tree.
. Be sure electrical' wiring' has
no breaks in it.
5. Avoid setting tree near sloves,
warm air registers, heat radial ors,
TV sets, or any other heat pro
dtuMng devices.
6. Turn off tree lights when
leaving home or retiring.
7. Don't set tree near furnish
ings' which might help spread a
fire.
8. Keep paper wrappings away
from tree after gifts are opened.
To give your Christmas tree that
"snow laden" look, whip up some
soap snow. Add about Vt cup
water to 1 cup soap flakes and
whip until it will form and hold
peaks (like whipped cream). If
snow is too stiff, add more water;
if not stiff enough, add more soap.
Spread this on the branches in big
gobs.
While making candy for Christ
mas you run across some recipes
that call for glucose. Did you know
you could substitute corn sirup for
the glucose? Although professional
candy makers say glucose is best,
but if it is not available, use Vk
cups corn sirup for 1 cup of
glucose.
