Read Food Package Labels
Says County Home Economist
Labels are Important-take
time to read them. This is the
advice of Mrs. Leona Shee
han, county extension agent
for home economics,
"Labels of food products
are an extremely Important
part of the preparation of the
food." she states. "The law
requires certain information
to be carried on labels such as
name of manufacturer, dis
tributors, net contents, state
ment of artificial coloring or
chemical preservatives, varie
ty, and in the case of canned
goods, the pacKing medium,
"A good label also carries
information concerning the
use of the product, and often
times, a recipe or two. Labels
should be improved from time
to time to meet changes in
the product as they are Im
proved.
Administration
Makes Ruling
On Preservatives
Washington, D. C. - The
Food and Drug administration
has announced a proposal to
establish a standard of ident
ity for chemical preservatives
used in food fats and fatty
foods.
Such preservatives are used
to retard the development of
rancidity. The proposed stand
ard would require that the la
bel of the preservative itself
declare the specific chemical
ingredient or ingredients from
which it is made. The labeling
of fabricated foods in which
the preservative is used, how
ever, may declare the pres
ence of the preservative by its
standard name without listing
the specific chemical name.
An acceptable label state
ment for a fabricated food
containing the added preserva
tive would be "fat preserva
tive added" or "fat antioxi
dant present to retard rancid
ity." . - . .
Commissioner George P.
Larrick said that one of the
major purposes of the pro
posed order 1b to require on
preserved fats and foods con
taining such fats, labeling that
will be informative to the cus
tomer. There has been much
consumer confusion and mis
understanding because of the
declaration by chemical name
of the presence of such pre
servatives. Adoption of the
standard of identity will clor
ify consumer understanding tn
this area and - will promote
honesty and fair dealing, Conv
missioner Larrick stated
Interested persons are In
vited to present their views in
writing to the Hearing Clerk,
Department of Health, Educa-
tion, and Welfare, Room 5440,
330 independence Avenue,
S. W Washington 25, D. C,
by February 26, 1961.

Valentine gifts
from
jean hart's
What more natural place lo
go for your Valentine gift than
at the sign of the red heart . . .
jean hart's? May we suggest a
gift of perfume, hosiery, dain
ty handkerchiefs, new jewelry
(see our lovely Sheffield
watches), pretty lingerie or a
new Lady Manhattan blouse,
a sweater or even a dress,
coat, or suit. Do come in and
sea our array of beautiful
things to please. miladyl
'However, labels are of lit
tie value if they are not read,
so follow the directions given
on the label. Some homemak
ers feel that if an ingredient
is good, more will be better.
Consequently when the in
structions ask for two eggs,
they put in an extra. A care
fully balanced cake mix
which requires just the two
eggs will become overmoist
and heavy, then they feel dis
satisfied with the product.
"Directions on opening a
cereal box designed so a por
tion can be used at a time
make it possible to reclose the
box so the cereal will remain
crisp, Excess moisture will
cause deterioration and loss
of flavor from the cereal
when the box is opened and
closed carelessly.
"When the expiration date
on a package of yeast is dis
regarded and the yeast is
used when it is too old may
cause a failure because dough
for bread or rolls won't rise
enough.
Directions that read to
sprinkle the dry milk on top
of the water will be success
ful, but it is almost impossi
ble to reconstitute some dry
milk solids by placing the
dry milk in first, then adding
water.
"These are only a few of
the errors made in preparing
foods. Read your directions to
get the most from the food
products you use." '

Furniture Buying
Major Purchase;
Pointers Given ,
By JOYCE SCHULLER
United Press International
Chicago (UP1) Furniture is a
major purchase for most fam
ilies and one that many home
makers approach with trepi
dation. Here are some pointers on
how to go about it:
To get the help of store per
sonnel, including Interior dec
orators In many establish
ments make a rough sketch of
the room in need of new furn
iture. Note the room's dimen
sions, where the present furni
ture is placed, the general per
iod of the decor and the color
scheme. If possible, bring
along small swatches or snips
of upholstery and drapery
fabrics.
Judge the quality of furni
ture under consideration by
fabric, springs, cushioning,
frame and fastening.
To check the frame, upend
the piece to see whether the
frame is made of hard wood
with no holes or faults. It
should be thickest in front
where it must withstand most
strain.
Check to see whether the
piece has high-quality coll or
zlgzog springs that are firmly
tied to tiie frame.
Lift the seat cushion and
read the label, listing the ex
act contents of the stuffing.
Latex foam cushioning is
widely used in quality furni
ture because It is bouyant,
long wearing and retains its
shape.
Examine the joints to see
that they are fastened with
wood dowels and then glued.
Quality furniture Is never
nailed together.
In evaluating the quality of
the fabric, note the tightness
of the weave. This Is a good
indication of durability. The
sturdiest fabrics in modern up-
noislcry ore generally blend
ed with man-made fibers, usu

Wright, organization director;
Mrs. Myrna Higgins, women's
chairman, and Mrs. Grace
Henderson, citizenship chair
man, were in charge of the
meeting.
Counties represented were
Douglas, Jackson and Jose
phine. Discussions were in
the field of local, state and
national farm questions. Sep
arate units were held to ex
change ideas on such matters
as women's role in foreign af
fairs, a greater interest in our
government on all levels,
deeper studies of our educa
tional needs and the financ
ing thereof. One popular sug
gestion was "more education
for our money, instead of
more money for education."
Emphasized in discussions
was the introducing of citi
zenship programs back into
public school system.
An educational film on the
growth and spread of Commu
nism was shown after a
luncheon held in the Red
