Several “ economic warn

s ig n a ls ’ ’ prom pted
Charles and Norma Caba to
in ve st
in
a
new
business - selling
freeze-
dr led foods.
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

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

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

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 fast processing of a
federal income tax return
can be generally summed up
in one work — accuracy, the
Internal Revenue Service
says. 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

thousands of errors every
year, the 1RS says.
