WASHINGTON (P-Is the mul
berry edible? What is goat meat
called? Do you have information
on cutting children's hair? Does
milk spoil during a thunderstorm?
Do you have a book on wbjr cake
baking is a failure? '
These are among the thousands
of questions Mrs. Eleanor Clay,
information specialist, and her as
sistants at the Department ' of
Agriculture seek to answer an
nually. Mrs. Clay is charged only
with answering queries made in
person or over the telephone.
Queries sent in writing are relay
ed to another section.
Even then. Mrs. Clav reoorts
that in 1951 her desk supplied In
formation: to some 21,000 f visitors
and tried to answer an additional
60,000 phone inquires from all
parts of the UJS. and from Cuba,
Hawaii and Newfoundland.. .
"Some citizen, some government
agency, some business concern is
always In need of the vast know
ledge available in the depart
ment," Mrs. Clay, native jof Port
Leyden, -N.Y, told mej "This
knowledge, may be obtainable, in
any one of the department's 4,000
publications, in a press release,
speech or any other form of in
formation media, or It (can be
found in the office or mind of
one of -our 11,000 employees in
the Washington area. It Is our
job to find out where the answers
areJv" ; : -' -''Z' '.I' 'C
"I read that you send pamphlets
on farming just for the asking;
so I'm asking," phoned one man. -
"Please give me information on
how to plant pumpkin seeds, two
will be Jack-o-lanterns," a young
ster requested.
"Will I be sterile from eating
caponlzed chickens?" asked a
timid man at the desk.
A lot of other inquiries have
nothing to do with the depart
ment, but Mrs. Clay, a patient,
friendly soul, tries to give the ans
wers just the same. Some samples
are: Do you know where I can
take my mother to. see color tele
vision tests?: Where can I buy
lolly-pop . molds? What do " I do
with stray kittens that wandered
Into my place? What name shall I
give our 10th son? Kindly - nd
1 rature on the subjects: -h
a.. ... good air . . . oxyg. . . .
and in what localities is it to be
found?
Mrs. Clay says lately she's been
impressed with the ' numbers of
people who are retiring, even at
an early age, who ply her desk
with requests for booklets on poul
try, geese and rabbit raising, sub
sistence farming or the raising of
unusual crops such as herbs or
holly-trees.,

Freezing in Jars Proved to
Be Practical by Experts
Many homemakers who have stocks of glass canning jars would
like to use these for home freezing, as an economy and convenience.
But many have questioned whether such jars are suited to freezing
and whether the glass will break at low freezing temperatures.
A study at the Massachusetts Experiment Station of freezing
various foods in the six types of canning jars most commonly used
In homes showed that the glass is quite durable at freezing tempera
tores and jars can be used to hold fruits in syrup or sugar for freez
ing, also dry-pack vegetables, meats and poultry, and even apple
Juice. But there was considerable breakage in freezing brine-packed
foods in these glass jars.
Best Lids
Most convenient for freezing are the two-piece metal lid closures,
especially on wide-mouth jars, because the flat lid allows for stacking
In the freezer and these lids may be re-used for several seasons.
Zinc covers became distorted in freezing and some reports to the Sta
tion indicated that they absorbed off -flavors and odors from strong
Havored foods. Bail-type jars cant be stacked, and in the tests took
Jnore labor to close. The wide-mouth ball-type jars were difficult to
open after freezing.
Housewives who use glass jars for freezing need to allow enough
headspace for the food to expand inch for pints and 1 inch for
quarts. To prevent breakage, jars should stand upright and be placed
In the freezer a few at a time with space around each for circulation
of air-and even freezing. The least breakage occured in jars placed
"ifr at the center of the freezing compartment away from the freezer
" plates. Thawing as well as freezing should be even. Slow thawing in
the refrigerator is recommended as best, especially for fruit. For
more rapid thawing, place the jar in cold, slowly running tap water
Turkey Buys
GJood During
Early Autumn
Start turkey-shopping early, the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
suggests to homemakers. By mid
August markets will have a great
abundance of birds from this
year's record-breaking crop.
- Turkeys in this year's crop are
estimated to outnumber last year's
by about 15 per cent. In poundage
the increase over last year may be
around 10 per cent. Because tur
key will be such a good buy this
month, families with freezers may
want to purchase now to freeze
for later. This month the smaller
birds will be most prominent on
markets generally. They fit family
platters and take less space in
ovens and refrigerators than the
big birds. But the large turkeys
are a good choice for feeding a
crowd. at harvest dinners, fam
ily reunion picnics or other get-together
meals.
Best Way i
To those homemakers who will
be buying turkeys to put in home
freezers, the specialists advise
against stuffing the birds before
freezing because of the risk of food
poisoning. What may, -.seem like
convenient advance - preparation,
they warn, may be a health haz
ard. Stuffing inside a turkey takes
a long time to reach the freezing
point. Meanwhile, bacterial growth
may start and continue later as
the bird thaws and then as it warms
up slowly in the oven. One study
made by industry showed that the
center of the stuffing did not get
hot enough to kill spoilage bacteria
until long after the meat of the
bird was well cooked.
Another point to remember is
that in preparing for the freezer,
the giblets or gizzard, heart and
liver should be wrapped separ
ately and either frozen in a spearate
container or placed in the cavity of
the bird.
EGG IS GOOD
Here's a sandwich tip for moth
ers who are once more getting
into the routine of packing school
lunches. Chopped egg becomes a
favorite sandwich filling with the
kids if you make it a chopped egg
and ripe olive combination. The
chopped- ripe olives are packed in
4 -ounce size containers for your
convenience.
Britain's schools of law, called
the Inns 'of Court, were damaged
in the great London Fire of 1666
and by bombs in World War II.
