NEW ZOO GNU - The new gnu at the Griffith Park Zoo in
l.os Angeles tries his best to hide behind a tree after his ar
rival from Africa. The gnu is either afraid of the photo
grapher or is worried about the three prospective brides
anxiously awaiting him. After the new gnu spends approxi
mately 15 days in quarantine he will be released into the
zoo community and have the opportunity to greet his three
new gnu brides. (UPI)

'Codfish Gravy' Was Change
Of Pace in Long Winter Diet
The almanac, in which he
liad explicit confidence, as
sured him the time was propi
tious; the signs of the Zodiac
were all in harmony and it
was that time of year to do
the butchering. The beef and
pork, after the butchering,
had hung sufficiently long in
the shed until the "animal
heat" had gone and the farm
wife had prepared the hams
and side meat for smoking,
had rendered the lard and had
marie the sausage.
There was no refrigeration
in those days except the "deep
freeze" of a northern winter,
so only the meat desired to
be eaten fresh was hung in
a cold building; the rest was
smoked, generously pickled
in brine or placed in crocks
with melted lard poured over

the top to seal it against con
tamination. Steaks, chops, roasts, ham,
bacon and sausage became the
main entree on the breakfast,
dinner and supper table as the
winter progressed. As a
change an occasional chicken,
duck or turkey graced the
farm table. Some farm fam
ilies killed a guinea hen, en
joyed the mild, gamcy flavor
then went back to pork and
beef again.
However, the housewife,
then as now, sought occasion
ally a change, something that
would tend to whet jaded ap
petites. So on her next trip
to the general store she
bought a flat, wooden box con
taining solid chunks of salted
codfish.
That farmwife of just a few
decades ago didn't know, or
care, where the cod came
from, what manner of crea
ture it was or how it was
caught or processed. It, came
from the sea, and she bought
it always in a small wooden
box with a sliding cover, a
box that was usually com-!
plelely impregnated with fish
oil, salt and maybe the tang
of the sea. Even the soft wood
of the box was discolered, oil
attended to the richness of
the contained, cold-water fish. 1
Had she the slightest idea
that a female codfish might
lay as many as several million
eggs in a single year she
would have wondered why
the salted product in the
wooden box she bought should
have cost her half as much
as she paid. But, enough to
know that the white chunks,
swimmingly delicious in rich,
milk gravy, would afford a
welcome change in the familv
diet.
Tasty Gravy
Usually she marie a gravy
with milk, flour and some
animal fat. and called it "milk
gravy." but when the chunks
of codfish were added it be
came "codfish gravy." That
was gravy with body; chewy,
tasty and with a salty tang.
The farmer or nutdoorsman
about to enter the woods or
fields when the mercury w-is
snuggled down at the bottom
of the thermometer, thought
a generous meal of boiled po
tatoes, over which copious
amounts of codfish gravy
were poured, would "stick to
the ribs" and allay the appe
tite until it was time for the
next meal.
There were many that
claimed that codfish gravy
was far and above any other
kind: it had the fish flavor,
edible chunks of tasty fish
and it helped potatoes to be
come very delicious.
It was an unusual person
indeed that didn't welcome
the change from beef, pork
and chicken to an occasional
and generous helping of cod
fish gravy. Folks who had
never seen the sea. or knew
little or nothing of the myriad
creatures that lived there, did
however enjoy the very white,
exceedingly sally chunks of
fish flesh that came in a Utile
flat box with a sliding lop -the
fish - flesh thai gave
strength and character to milk
gravy.
Computer Discloses Material Necessary To Shield Building
New York UPD Over most
of the nation today, citizens
are adding some extra covers
at night and clothing in the
day time against winter's
cold.
Some find themselves
working in buildings which,
as the deep of winter ap
proaches, develop chilly areas
or run up sizable heat hills
to ensure the comfort of those
within the walls.
This can be true even for
those new buildings which
have year-round air condi
tioning. An article in the De
cember Issue of Progressive
Architecture notes that equip.
ping a building with this fa
cility often represents from a
fifth to over half the cost of
the structure.
An 'Overcoat'
While this is the job of the
mechanical engineer, it also
must be the concern of the
architect. He must help de
cide what kind of glass and
materials go into walls and
roofs to keep out cold in
winter and heat In summer;
whether insulation is needed,
to provide the "overcoat" for
the building in winter and a
shields against the heat of
summer.
One of the big producers of
Insulating materials, Owen
Corning Fibreglass Corpora
tion, has for nearly two years
had in operation a system,
called Dividend Engineering,
to help show architects and
engineers the proper insula
tion needed for walls and
roofs under all kinds of con
ditions. The system, as might be ex
pected in this day of rapid
technological develop m e n t,
uses computers to make an
analysis of what will be a
new building's "thermal per
formance." This means how it
will act under conditions of
heat and cold; how much
shielding from the sun will be
needed in summer for the best
operation of building cooling
systems, how much protection
in the winter to hold in heat
and prevent its escape
through walls and roofs.
A Quick Answer
To do this manually con
sumes hundreds of man-hours.
To prepare all the necessary
data for the computer and
program it also takes time,
but when all the data is as
sembled the computer can
slap out a detailed report-including
figures on how much
heating and cooling money
could be saved.
Owens-Corning people say
that the computer system
they use can spell out a com
plete building analysis in only
12 seconds. Into the computer
go statistics on such things as
which way the building faces
in relation to the sun: what
materials are used in its
walls and roofs; the average
temperature outside the year
round; estimated cost of
equipment, fuel and utilities:
operation of the heating and
cooling system.
Then wall and roof design
modifications can be tested
for maximum savings.
A New York engineering
firm using this method re
cently found that by increas
ing the thickness of insula
tion on a building at Synsset,
N.Y., at an additional cost ol
$38,000, they could make a
$01,000 savings by being ablu
to reduce the size of heating
and cooling equipment, and
an annual operating cost
savings of $8,930.
