Phone 2-6165 iimas "YOUR 30 N. Riverside MAIL TRIBUNE Here's how the WSC home econ omist explains the whole thing. Freeze-dry'ns means just what it says. The product is first froz en then dried under very high vacuum. Freeze-dried meat will be light pink in color, will retain all its valuable proteins and oth er food nutrients, and will be very light in weight. About 75 per cent of meat is water, so the freeze-dried meat will weigh about one-fourth as much as regular fresh meat. The new product will be pack aged in an inert gas and sealed in cartons or cans. It will add little to the weight of the gro ceries you carry home. When perfected, it should keep on your kitchen shelf for several months. The meat is prepared for cook ing by soaking for 30 minutes in a small amount of hot water. After it's soaked, it's cooked just like any other fresh meat. The freeze-dry process, how ever, is pretty costly at this ex perimental stage of the game. Research on the process is being done at the University of Cali fornia at Davis and under the direction of the Army Quarter master Food and Container insti tute. The process will provide fresh meat in lightweight rations for soldiers on the march. Com m e r c i a 1 production of freeze-dried meat is underway already in Scotland. The manu facturer. Kestrel Products, Ltd., Aberdeen, is using the process to supply dried fish to West Africa. For the home market, the company is producing a meat bar a seasoned blend of pork and beef dried in 214 ounce blocks. The company is also planning dried steaks which, when packed in airtight tins, will keep for six months in the tropics. It will be some time in the U.S., though, before you can pick up packaged dried fresh meat at your local market. Food re searchers say they need improve ments in engineering and sources of energy to reduce processing costs before freeze-dried meat can become a competitive item at the grocery store.

March 10. 1957 Food Selection Plan Sponsored By Department A simple plan for food selec tion, so flexible it makes eating what you like add up to eating what you should, is now spon sored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Vastly different from earlier schemes in which there were eleven, then seven basic food groups, in this new nlan there are onlv four. Group I Milk: Everyone should have some milk daily, rfirertlv nr in other foods. Sug gested: For children 3 to 4 cups, teenagers 4 or more, adults 2 or more cups, pregnant women 4 or more, nursing mothers 6 or more. Group II Meats: Two or more servings of meat, poultry, fish or eggs each day. Beans, peas and nuts occasionally as alternatives. Group III Vegetables and Fruits: Four or more servings of vegetables and fruits daily. These should include at least one dark green or deep yellow vegetable, rich in vitamin A and minerals, and one citrus fruit or other fruit or vegetable such as tomatoes, rich in vita min C. Group IV Bread and Cereals: Four or more servings each day of bread or cereals prepared from enriched, restored, or whole grains. Homemakers will find this grouping of foods useful to refer to in planning balanced meals. "This new plan need not re place others being used effec tively," says Dr. Charles Glen King, executive director of the Nutrition Foundation. "How ever, it has many advantages. It is simple and easy to follow. The groups outlined are flexible and permit easy adjustment within both family and restau rant menus. Within such a group ing there is a practical assur ance of generous intakes of all the nutrients essential for health Foods not emphasized in the plan, such as fats and sugars, are expected to appear in meals in combination with appropriate foods. The five classes of nutri ents are, therefore, well repre sented: (1) good quality pro teins, (2) minerals, (3) vitamins, (4) fats and oils, and (5) starches and sugars. One needs, in addi tion, enough good judgment not to abuse the body by eating too many calories and thus ac cumulating an excessive body weight." Burner Control With one or more of these top burner heat controls in her gas range, the housewife has an im provement which can make every one of her cooking uten sils automatic. Through a sens ing device built in to the burner under each utensil, the flame automatically is increased or di minished to maintain exactly whatever temperature is desired. For example, when the water in the pot boils the flame drops to maintain the pre-set tempera ture. fabric Medford, Oregon Lilly Dache Goes Because It Keeps By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York IU.R This week in Manhattan: Classrooms will become even more crowded, if other women follow the lead of a c"ouple of highly successful New Yorkers. Lilly Dache. boss of several fashion and beauty firms, re vealed this week that she is a coed two nights a week. Both she and her husband. Jean De pres, an executive at Coth, Inc., are enrolled in an art apprecia tion course at New York univer sity. And the French-born Miss Dache also is taking speech training from an NYU instruc tor. "I am always going to school," said Miss Dache. "It keeps me young. Keeps me happy. When I am in class I forget what went on all day long." She said that through the years she has taken courses in chemistry, business administra tion, literature, history and even law. "I'd like to know a bit about everything," said the designer. But she said she is not working toward a degree. Maureen Hopkins, a featured dancer in the hit musical 'L'il I Abner" wants her A.B. and is a part-time coed at Fordham uni versity. "Some of my classmates don't understand me," said the statu esque brunette. "They can't fig ure why, with a break on Broad Sea Food Topic For Two Groups Mrs. Robert Hubbard, 3562 Jacksonville Highway, will be hostess for Oak Grove Extension unit which meets at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, March 12.

The U.S. Department of Labor said the greatest increase among women workers will be in the 45-years and over group. Can opener cooks are busy as ever.

Popcorn purchased at the cor ner grocery usually is packaged in moisture-proof containers to keep in good condition, S. T. Dexter said. But when the con tainer is opened and the corn is stored, it usually dries out Storing popcorn in the vege table tray of the refrigerator helps prevent drying, he said. Eut there is a way that is still more effective. Make a humidifier by cutting out strips of blotter and soaking them in salt water. Then place the blotters inside a mason jar and place the popcorn inside. If the blotter dries, soak it in salt water again. In this way you can keep corn at its "popping best" for more than a year. Spicy Pancakes A delightful, quick dessert to keep in mind for unexpected company is Spicy Pancakes. Make batter as usual with 2 cups biscuit mix, 1 egg and IV2 cups milk. Beat with rotary beater until well blended. Add 1 tsp. cinnamon, 3 tsp. each allspice, cloves and nutmeg. Form pan cakes on heated griddle; turn when bubbles appear. Serve with cherry sauce flavored with a bit of cinnamon and lemon Serve this tasty sauce on fish or hot cooked green beans or broccoli.
