Pineapple Treats
BY KATHRYN J. ORR
Specialist in Food and Nutrition
Pineapple Is such a popu
lar fruit and one w lik to
at to well because of Its
very refreshing and distlna
tiva flavor. It is native to
South America and was
probably brought to Hawaii
by some Spanish traveler who
had been in South America
The pineapple is known as a
multiple fruit because it is a
collection of small fruit on a
central core.
, Fresh pineapple is a good
source of sugar and a fair
source of calcium. The juice
has more calcium than guava
juice. The popular Island
Smooth Cayenne variety of
pine apple is a fair to poor
: source of the vitamins A, Bl
(Thiamine), and C, and low in
minerals, phosphorus and Iron
compared to many other
fruits.
To select a good, ripe pine
apple the ' thump test is
more reliable than plucking
top leaves. The fruit should
sound solid when snapped
with the forefinger and
thumb. The sound should re
semble "thumping" the inner
side of your wrist. A little
practice should make you a
reliable "pineapple picker."
A small, compact leaf crown,
In relation to the size of the
fruit Indicates a well-develop
ed fruit. Pineapples do not be
come sweeter once they are
picked. They contain no
stored starch that will change
to sugar. The color of the rind
does not indicate fruit quality.
It may vary from yellow to a
greenish brown. The best
quality pineapples are hnr
vested during the summer
months.
Pineapple, fresh, canned or
frozen, is available as juice,
crushed, chunks, slices, tid
bits, mixed cocktail or pie
mix. It has as many or more
uses-beverages, punches, fruit
cocktails, salads, desserts,

Humane Slaughter
Law Will Become
Effective Aug. 30
Washington, (Science Serv-
ice)-A new Federal humane
slaughter law becomes effec
tive Aug. 30. It requires pack
ers selling meat to the Gov
ernment to use an approved
humane method of immobil
izing the animals before
slaughter,
There are three approved
methods of Immobilization. In
one, animals are knocked out
by carbon dioxide. i
In the other two methods,
electrical shock or mechan
ical concussion is used to stun
the animals. Animals are held
in a restraining pen while
an electric probe or mechan
ical instrument is applied to
their heads.
Emerge on Conveyor Belt
Cardox Division of Cheme
tron Corporation, a supplier
of carbon dioxide, claims the
carbon dioxide system keeps
hogs unconscious for about
four minutes, twice the time
needed for slaughtering. The
heavier-than-air gas gathers
at the bottom of a tunnel
which is depressed In the cen
ter. Animals walk into the
tunnel and emerge, uncon
scious, on a conveyor belt. 1
Cardox reports that in one

test, a hog had passed through
the system, but purposely had
not been killed, did not re
sist repeating the trip soon
after regaining consciousness.
The new law requires that
animals be rendered uncon
scious painlessly before before
being killed. It also regulates
animal handling, the construc
tion of restraining pens and
the training of personnel.
Requirements of the law,
and the techniques which
have been developed for im
mobilization can be used to
improve the initial stages of
animal dressing and, in some
cases, to increase productiv
ity, according to packers who
have installed humane slaugh
ter machinery.
Spared Horrors
"But infinitely more impor
tant is the fact that these
animals will be spared many
of the horrors of the pack
inghouse," said Mrs. Christine
Stevens, president of the An
imal Welfare Institute.
Five states, California, New
Hampshire, Washington, Wis
consin and Minnesota, will
have humane slaughter laws
which become effective Aug.
30, the same date as the Fed
eral law. Massachusetts re
cently passed a law which
will become effective Jan. 1,
1962. Generally they supple
ment the Federal law and pro
vide specific penalties for
failure to comply.

Age of Squirrel
Revealed by Tail
Blacksburg, Va. - Wildlife
experts at Virginia Tech tell
hunters to judge the age of a
squirrel by looking at the flat
tened underside of its tail.
Bone showing one-third of
the way up the tail means the
squirrel is less than six
months old and much more
tender for stewing. The adult
squirrel has a bushier tail.

Each time a record was auto

turntable, the mouse would
jump aboard for the short ride

The patrons toasted and
cheered the mouse on for sev
