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. -

"What is hippotosis?,, asks a
feminine - subscriber. It is an
affliction from , which many
stenographers, restaurant cash
iers, females born under Taurus
and Chicago women suffer. Is
similar to what is referred to as
"stenographer's spread." When
a woman has "hippotosis" she is
hip happy. She needs unbulging.
Or people will gape at her shape,
especially when she is wearing
slacks.

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. Her
