THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1945. PAEG NINE HERMISTON HERALD HERMISTON. OREGON. Receives Medal for Heroism in Algeria ECHO NEWS ITEMS Tech. Sgt. Jack Gaskill sui- prised his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Gaskill, when he arrived by bus Friday for a 30-day furlough while en route from Italy to the Pacific area. Jack has been in the service six years, enlisting in 1939, and during that time has been around the world. He has been in New Zealand, Australia Bombay, at Suez, across Africa, during the campaign there, at Bi- zerte, and in the invasion of Italy. For the past year he has been stationed with the 15th air force at Foggia, Italy. During his years of service Sgt. Gaskill has never been ill a day. His work has been with a ground crew in the 9th, 12th and 15th air forces. While overseas the only Echo soldier he met was Fred Wimmer, who was stationed near him for about a year. There was a thriving black mar-. ket in Italy when he left and pri ces were soaring. Cigarettes brought $2.50 a package, G.I. dress shoes $75.00 a pair, and other things in proportion. The Italians have very primitive methods of Tech. Sgt. Harry L.

Par menter of Franklin. Mass., which made a new national record at the western New York egg-laying con test by producing 351 eggs in 357 days, the standard laying-test year of 51 weeks. The former world record for 51 weeks was 347 eggs, made by a Hanson Leghorn from Corvallis, Ore., in the 1942 Connecticut lay ing test. The Parmenter bird also laid such large eggs that she made a new national record on the point score, 386.10, says Prof. R. C. Ogle of Cor nell, supervisor of the New York tests. Each point is equivalent to two ounces of egg weight, and her 351 eggs weighed more than 386 two- ounce eggs. Former point record was 376.25, made by a Leghorn owned by W. A. Seidel of San An tonio, Texas, in the 1941 Texas lay ing test. Best previous record made by a bird of the Rhode Island Red breed was 338 eggs and 371.555 points in the Maine, 1942, test, by a hen from the Harco orchard and poultry farm of South Easton, Mass. Food Shrinkage Because food shrinks so much in the dehydration process, here’s what to expect: Green snap beans—15 pounds dry to approximately 1 or 112 pounds; carrots—121 pounds dry to 1 or 1* pounds; spinach and other greens— 12% pounds dry to % or % pound; apples—12% pounds dry to 112 or 2 pounds; corn (cut off the cob)—10 to 12 ears make about 1 quart of dried kernels, or 6 pounds dry to 2% pounds. Dried apples, corn, and snap beans usually rate higher than car rots or greens, both for retention of flavor and for storage qualities. One cup of a dried fruit or vegetable will make enough cooked food to serve five persons. Dried foods should be packed in amounts of single meal servings to avoid unnec essary exposure of the product. Tenderizes Tough Meat The natives of South America and the West Indies have long known the value of papaya in the tenderizing of tough meats. It has been their cus tom to wrap meat in the leaves or fruit of the papaya and hold several days before cooking. The tropical fruit, valued for its juice and fruit flavor, contains papain which is an enzyme, long known to be a tenderiz- er of meats, by speeding up chemi cal reaction. When the papain is brought in contact with the dead meat tissues it begins to break them down. As high heat will destroy the papain, it should be rubbed on the meat several hours before cooking in order to give the enzyme a chance to work properly before it is injured by the heat. The meat should be rubbed with the enzyme on all sides. Echo Community Methodist Church Rev. Earl B. Cotton, Pastor Sunday, June 10, 1945. 10:00 A.
