MAIL TRIBT7KB New Process Preserves Meat For Ten Years The latest thing to come from research kitchens is an amazing process called "freeze-drying" which preserves meat for ten years or longer, according to a release from the West Coast Oil Information committee. First developed for the armed forces, it's designed to fill the need for fresh-tasting meat in areas which have no refrigeration. Freeze-dried meat sounds like just the thing for hubby to take along on his camping and hunt ing trips. He may be able to very soon because the method, strict ly hush-hush up to now, has just been released. First the cut of meat is frozen, then warmed slightly in a re frigerated vacuum chamber, just enough to force the moisture to escape. The meat, now pink and sponge-like in texture, is next sealed in oil-based plastic con tainers which are filled with carbon dioxide (a gas found in some oil wells.) Beef, veal, pork, lamb, . poultry, and even fish can be stored this way for about two years without refrigeration, and almost indefinitely if the temperature is low. It's simple to prepare the meat for cooking. Just remove it from its plastic container and soak it for about half an hour to restore the water taken out in the freeze-dry process. Pop the meat into a pan and cook it when it's done it will taste about the same as a fresh cut from the butcher shop. " Research finds new: uses for oil products ' every day; Im proved packaging is just one of the many ways in which pe troleum helps make such spec tacular new developments in the food industry possible. - . i :. : Supper, Musicale' Given on Sunday At Medford Home -yy Mr. and Mrs. Harlan P.

OHIO PA CIFIC RAILR0A D idea was inspired by a new pic- ture, "Daddy Long Legs," which stars Fred Astaire and Leslie Caron. When the measuring tape was put away, it was discovered that an average set of gams hit the 38V5 inch mark. This also is considered a pretty good stand ard in the bust department. That figure is typical of Holly- woods lovelies, but is consider ably longer by two or three inches than the average out side the movies. Height and general propor tions are determining factors. Usually short girls have shorter legs than tall gals, but that's not always the case. Take Jean Simmons. She is five feet, four and a half inches tall and has 39-inch legs. Olivia De Havilland, who stands a fraction over five-feet- three, has 37-inchers while Les lie Caron, who is the same height, measures her gams at 38V. Terry Moore ' is shorter than both at five-feet-two and has 38-inch underpinnings. Bella Darvi, at five-three, has 39-inch stems. Crowned 'Miss Long Legs' It turns out that a girl named Sara Shane, who plays a sizzl ing role in "Sign of the Pagan," is to leg measures what Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell are to the bosom cult. Thus she was crowned "Miss Long Legs", in honor of "Daddy Long Legs," her latest film. That the contest for the title wasn't crooked is upheld by Miss Shane's leggy victory over bigger, more important stars who didn't quite measure up. Sara is five-feet-six and her legs are almost 42 inches long! ' "I've had coltish legs ever since I can remember," Sara smiled happily. "I thought the rest of me would never fill out and catch up with my legs." In catching up,. Miss Shane has filled out rather nicely.
