MAIL TRIBUNE, M.dford, Or. Sunday, Doc 6, 1959 Love Declared Greatest Reward Corvallis - A give-and-take feeling of love and affection between mothers and their children is one of the main satisfactions mothers say they get from rearing their fam ilies, according to Mrs. Rober ta Frasier, Oregon State col lege extension specialist. Mrs. Frasier reports a re cent U. S. department of ag riculture survey of 11,500 homemakers in 15 states. Re gardless of where they lived, ages, or number of children in the home, mothers reported greatest pleasure came from giving and receiving love from their children, in shar ing experiences, in feeling needed by someone, and get ting a sense of fulfillment of their "main role" in life. A third of the mothers found satisfaction in children who had "good" traits - hon esty, good grades, good health and habits of neatness and cleanliness. Mothers also were pleased to see their children take part in community ac tivities. Although they frequently complain of cooking, clean-up, and the constant care required by the family, a third of the mothers listed feeding, cloth ing, and looking after family needs as one of the rewards of being a mother, Mrs. Frasier sayi. Soma TintM Puxiled Mothers reported some puz zling moments, too. More than half of them wanted help in discipling and handling social relationships between young sters. Some of the mothers felt "at a loss" in handling children when they were in different, moody, and angry. Most mothers said they want ed to learn more about what to expect in individual dif ferences between children. Mothers rated disobedience as the number one discipline problem, followed by showing off in front of guests, bad 15 'Cold Fish Plus Hot Idea Results In Big Industry By JEANNE LESEM United Press International New York -ICP&- A cold fish provided a hot idea for a na turalist the result, a billion dollar industry in terms of cold cash. Thirty years ago, Clarence Birdseye, of Gloucester, Mass., went on a fur trading trip to Labrador. He ate fish that had been frozen on Arctic ice in below-zero winds and noticed that the thawed fish retained its fresh characteristics. That prompted Birdseye to develop a cumbersome but workable freezing process to do the job mechanically. The industry has grown from a $203,000 a year busi ness for the first company (now the Birds Eye Division of General Foods) to a two and a half-million dollar industry for 1,600 processors. Top pro cessors today are Birds Eye, Libby, Stokely-Van Camp and Seabrook Farms. The first frozen foods cus tomers lacked electric refrig eration, so they were forced to use the products quickly to avoid spoilage. But quick freezing now is much improv ed, and so are the food pro ducts. A working knowledge of cooking isn't necessary to pre pare epicurean meals from these products. Single and multiple servings of elaborate dishes, ready to heat and eat, are available in foil trays and manners, untidiness, resisting advice, arguing, talking back, shirking home responsibili ties, wanting too much free dom, dishonesty, and dis agreement over allowances. Teasing and fighting among brothers and sisters, jealousy, selfishness among children, and lack of interest in what goes on about them, were listed as "concerns" by moth ers. Puroose of the study was to cellect information that would be helpful in setting up extension education pro grams throughout the country. sealed plastic bags. Ready-cooked fancy foods loom large in the industry's future, says a marketing man ager, George Mentley (of Birds Eye). Mentley expects continued improvement in food quality and packaging convenience. This should cut the odds against boners like that of a New York hotel chef in the in dustry's early days. The chef j welcomed a contribution of I frozen asparagus to serve at a ; banquet. But he'd never seen the frozen product before and ; thought the only preparation j necessary was thawing. So he i served it raw. j The selection in those days was tinv by 1959 standards. ' Only 27 products were avail able, 18 of them meats. The actual count in U.S. groceries and delicatessens today is in the hundreds. Two of the three favorites in 1929 still are tops today -peas and strawberries. .Meat products have been supersed ed in popularity by orange juice concentrate. In the first four years of the industry, nearly 23-million pounds of frozen foods were processed by the original com pany. This figure sounds im pressive until you look at the current annual production of 4.5 billion pounds. Such popularity reduces the chances of salesmen meeting the fate of one young man, fresh from college, who visit ed stores in 1929 to demon strate the new frozen prod ucts. He was showing a meat cut one day when a butcher, afraid of losing customers for unfrozen meat, took off after the salesman with a cleaver. ' The young man didn't let this scare him away from the job. He stuck with it and to day is the firm's general man ager in Canada. The Russian motif is strong in suede tunics. The tunics come with rolled boat collars and loosely-tied suede thongs at the waist. They go with matching suede slacks.
