Operating from a tax service office in the heart of Boring, the three-month-old business has not yet reached its flill potential, but the Cabas are convinced business w ill pick up The concept of freeze-dried foods first attracted the Cabas about three years ago, Norma said that warning signals of a possible food shortage convinced her that investing in freeze-dried food was a necessity. She recalled the ice storm and the truckers' strike when shelves in the grocery stores were stripped bare by panicking consumers. Charles keeps abreast of economic conditions and saves every article he reads on foot shortages. He said the warning signals that directed him toward food storage were steadily diminishing farm lands, bad crop yields and droughts. He added, “ As we see these possibilities become pro babilities, then I start to panic.*' Freeze-dried food is d if ferentiated from dehydrated (dried) food explained the Cabas Dehydrated food loses its nutrients in 18 months. If you freeze it, the nutrients are kept for a longer period, but are also eventually lost. Freeze-dried foods maintain approximately 98 percent of TARY’ KEÉPIMG Fast returns called result o f accuracy — ■— — ■ 1 11 Photo by Gwen Hogh Charles and Norma Caba saw the economic warning signals and invested in a freeze-dried food outlet m Boring as a hedge against rising food prices. Taxpayers should also use the coded envelope included in the tax package. Easy-tom ake errors such as checking the wrong filing status, failing to sign the return, math mistakes, and the omission of necessary documents such as W-2 form s from employers are common mistakes which can delay taxpayers' refunds The 1RS must correct tiie e rro rs or o btain the documents before processing the return h u rry . Preparation is simple, just add boiling water. The only d e alers of Mountainhouse Freeze Dried Food east of 82nd Street in P o rtla n d and fro m the Columbia River to Estacada are the Cabas. A warehouse in Portland, as well as the main office and warehouse in Albany, serves them. Cost of freeze-dried food is expensive and m ight be comparable to eating out, says Norma. Foods range from meat, poultry and dairy products to ordinary canned food off the shelf in the grocery store lasts forever, but they are mistaken, according to the Cabas. It may be fillin g your stomach, but the nutrients are lost when it ages. Approximately 18 months is the general pull date for most stores, but the con sumers are not always in formed how old the food is that they eat. Both Charles and Norma enjoy the taste of freeze- dried food and occasionally use it when they’re in a their nutrients indefinitely if stored in vacuum-packed cans. In the freeze-dried process, food is cooked and quickly frozen at 50 degrees below zero, at which tim e a vacuum process takes a ll the water from the food Nutrients are conserved by this process once they are sealed in a irtig h t containers Because foil packages cannot hold in a ll the nutrients, cans must be used.

For the potential investor, a sample pack is sold for about $27 which includes a basic assortment of 11 freeze-dried foods. The Cabas believe in what th e y ’re p ro m o tin g and selling. They’ve invested thousands in the business expecting that a day may come when there is a need to use freeze-dried food. Norma concluded, “ For me, i t ’s a relief of mind to have it in storage.’’ The Consumer Advisory C ouncil to the Oregon Department of Agriculture has recommended that there be no m a n d a to ry requirement that food stores using new computer scan ners at the checkstand should also m ark the prices on each item. consumer. In discussing the concept of computerized pricing in food stores, the Council At its meeting last Wed nesday, Jan. 21, the Council agreed to commend one large Oregon food chain using scanner systems for inform ing customers at the checkstand th a t if a customer is charged more for an item than the price stated at the shelf, the item w ill be given free to the I SWEATERS , X Discount repairs on all boday and tender work We g u aran tee factory parts and e«pert service Quality auto painting ......................... ’3* BLOUSES Co ......................... 668-5548 SUBSCRIPTION RATES iW W "¿rH u ( i j In Clock omo» C o u n t, p o ' ,po< H ff Bn gml M u lin o m o h C o u n t, PArrs n* OTly.........................~ Fro™ N ew 5 nearly new I iR In N o rth —« » i o nd Roc,lie Coo»« S to le , O u ts id e O ro p o n pe> y«or .......... • strongly urged all retailers to be extremely accurate when programming prices into their computers.

Taxpayers who file accurate returns receive their refunds faster. Oregonians can help speed up the processing by using the pre-addressed, peel-off labels and by double checking their arithm etic before mailing the returns As simple as the items ap pear. they are the cause for thousands of errors every year, the 1RS says. The label comes with the tax package in the m ail and lists the taxpayer’s name, address, Social Security number and other bits of inform ation which help the 1RS in processing the return quickly. p in. for leaves and Fishes Meal 'ITie business office w ill be closed Tuesday.
