Twenty-Seventh Year MEDFOKD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 4f WV2. No. 37. RIB .L- I . l 1 I Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS. IN MARYLAND, In a preference PRIMARY, not a convention. President Hoover wins over Senator Prance, a Maryland man, by a ma jority ot three to two. Put that down among the signifi cant political developments of the week. OLANS are under way. and have received the approval of the sec retary of the interior, for the crea tion of Sparrow Memorial Park, on the Crater Lake highway, near the entrance to the park. Alex Sparrow, former superinten dent of Crater Lake National park, county Judge of Jackson county when he died as a result of accidental In juries received in Klamath Falls, entitled If ever a man was to the high honor Involved In being known as a "regular fellow," would have pooh-poohed such a suggestion. He craved no honor other than the respect of hi fellows; was content with the knowledge that he was doing his Job well. BUT those who knew Alex sparrow will welcome the opportunity to pay respect to his memory, to per petuate a name that was a GOOD name. For that .reason, the Spar row Memorial Park project la a worthy one. EX-PRESIDENT COOLIDGE, fish ing on a private stream In Con necticut, catches a dozen trout ol more than a pound each, as well as ' several too small to keep. That is news, and gets on the front pagcB of most of the daily newspapers 01 the country. If you and I caught a dozen trout, It wouldn't be news outside our own circle of friends, including those to whom we gave some of the fish. Moral: If you want to be big news, be a BIO MAN. BUT If you. want to ENJOY Lira In the quiet ways that appeal to ordinary people, free from the burdens of responsibility and of the necessity to live up to what the public thinks of you, remain Just an ordinary citizen. That lesson Is brought out strik ingly In the movie, "It's Tough to Be Famous." npEN TONS of spinach are harvested at The Dalles, and shipped to Hillsboro for FREEZING. Mark that statement, which is far more significant than It seems. Freez ing is a new process of preserving foods that may revolutionize present practices of getting perishable foods from the producer to the consumer. ORDINARY freezing, as everybody knows, preserves perishable fooas from decay, but also, as everybody knows, ordinary freezing affects se riously the quality of such foods after they thaw. If you doubt that, try freezing an 'apple or a tomato and then eating it after it thaws out, ORDINARY freezing breaks down the cells of the frozen product. The new process of freezing by con trolled temperature DOESN'T. When food so frozen thaws out It comes back very closely to Its original state. THIS story, which is quite inter esting. Is told of the discovery of quick freezing and its astonish ing results: A young scientist was spending the winter up In the Arctic circle, and one day he went out to fish through the Ice. The temperature was EXCEEDINGLY low, far below zero. As he brought the fish up through the ce. they froze in stantly. He took them to his cabin ana, thawed them in cold water, and they CAME BACK TO LIFE. THAT started htm to thinking, and out of his thinking came this new proces 1 of food preservation Every Important development In the world's history, you know, came about because something started somebody to thinking. H ERE Is ftometiiing else that i Interesting Thene frozen foods, it Is expected.
