During the past 15 and 20 years, families have been eat ing less fresh, and more froz en and processed fruits. Froz en concentrated juice sales have increased greatly. The trend has also been toward more processed veget ables and somewhat fewer fresh vegetables. However, many fresh vegetables are convenience foods because they are trimmed, washed and packaged, the economists note. Many are available year around. Wage-earning homemakers are likely to shop either for processed vegetables that re quire little cooking or heating, or for vegetables suited to quick salads. They want time and worksaving foods that can be served in a jiffy soon after the woman returns from work. Shoppers are also more health and weight conscious, and choose items considered low in calories. The OSC specialists report that one in three persons em ployed now is a woman. In January, a b o u t 2 1 ,000,000 women were employed out side the home compared to only 12,000,000 in 1940. In about this same period, pro cessing of vegetables in creased from a third to a half the total supply of fruits and vegetables, particularly frozen ones. Because of their higher earning, shoppers are able to pay for convenience and out of season foods, they L point out. 4 Texas Family Here on Visit Mrs. Sam Maddux and chil dren, Michael, Jimmy and Sara, have arrived in Medford from Randolph Air Force base in San Antonio, Tex., and are guests of Mrs. Mad rux parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.

Food Specialist Gives Directions For Ripening Tomatoes Corvallis Ripen tomatoes at cool room temperatures. They'll have better, flavor, texture and color. Miss Zelma Reigle, Oregon State college food marketing specialist, says the old-time practice of ripening tomatoes on sunny warm window sills does more harm than good. Heat turns tomatoes yellow. For best color, flavor, and texture, and vitamin value tomatoes should be ripened at room temperature or a little below, between 60 and 75 de grees, she recommends. To ripen, tomatoes should be mature, grown to their full size and just ready to turn color. Good quality mature green tomatoes or partially ripened tomatoes are better buys than red tomatoes that are overripe, soft or bruised, according to Miss Reigle. Once ripe, tomatoes keep better in the refrigerator. If ripened in the refrigerator, they become pale, watery, soft and lack flavor. Never wrap tomatoes with paper to keep them dark. -4 Family Picnic Planned July 27 , The annual Houston and Rodgers family picnic will be held Sunday, July 27, from 11 a.m. .until 4 p.m. at Tou Velle State park.
