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-

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.

Rhode Island Red Bird
Is Champion Egg Layer
Hen of the year and all-time
champion egg-layer is a Rhode Is
land Red bird owned by E. B. 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.
