Dearborn spoke to teen-age contestants and editors attending the first na tional juniors only cooking contest here this week. Dearborn came on the scene just at the proper time, so far as I'm concerned. I've been raising so much sand recently on what's wrong with pack aging, I figured it. was time someone told us what's right. Room to Improve' Dearborn conceded in an interview after his speech that there always is room for im provement of food containers. But he pointed also with pride to progress in foil packaging since the end of the war in Korea. "To put it briefly," said Dearborn, "We're trying to eliminate dishes. To get the homemaker out of the kitchen faster, so she has more time with her family." He said the whole alum inum industry annually uses 60 million pounds of foil, worth $34 million, in food packaging alone. This includes containers for prepared dry mixes, baked goods, dairy products, cook ing pouches for vegetables and main dishes. Foil also now wraps soaps and detergents. Never Open a Package Because of foil, he said, to day's housewife can in many instances "do every cooking operation boiling, steaming, broiling or baking - without so much as opening the pack age until serving time." "But the housewife must remember," he said, "that package designers always face a dual problem: providing convenience of opening and preparation, but at the same time giving protection to the r HUGE BARGAIN Medal FEATURES: 9.1 Cu.

' He said his firm within months will have available a "boilable" foil package for pre-blocked frozen vegetables; a cook-in-foil carton rather than pouch for prepared vege tables and meats; and a boil able "pillow pack" for baby foods. Mason Packaging Change "The heat-in-t h e-package container for baby . foods would mean a major change for the industry," he said. "It would have to convert from canned to frozen foods. But somewhere along the line, some manufacturer will make the move." His firm also is working on a foil container for vacuum packing . ground coffee; it would be slightly cheaper and easier to open than the present tin containers, he said. And, on improved packaging for milk, whose vitamin content is "light sensitive." "The an swer here," said Dearborn, "may be a foil liner for the paper cartons to keep light from penetrating." Aim to Reduce Costs Ultimately, he predicted, "we will develop a pouch which can be heat processed, which will mean foil pack aged goods to keep just as long as canned goods. Does all this packaging in novation mean increased cost to the consumer? "Our whole aim is to get costs down," said Dearborn. "Experimental packaging ,is costly; mass produced, it be comes much cheaper. But when you get right down to it, the homemaker has to de cide for herself, which is more important, a half cent more on a package for convenience, or less time spent with her family."
