to teen-age contestants and

Dearborn came on the scene
just at the proper time, so far
as I'm concerned. I've been

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

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."
