Schultz of the department of food and dairy technology, Oregon State col lege, discussed built-in maid service in the form of con- I venience foods at a meeting this week. Dr. Schultz is interviewing food processors in Oregon to determine how they arrive at new ideas for merchandising their products. Convenience foods such as television dinners, frozen pies and dehydrated potatoes are produced not to please the manufacturer, but actually on order from the consumer, al though the consumer is not aware of this, he said. Dr. Schultz expressed the opinion that partially prepar ed foods will continue to in crease in quantity since these foods give the housewife time for outside work or for lei sure. They also tend to fit the kitchen storage of modern homes better than bulky foods, he noted. STORM WINDOWS 4 Pes. OOlr 36x72 00 pkg. For STORM WINDOWS or DOORS.
