There was no re frigeration, no freezer, no pre serving chemicals. Ice had its limitations. Even the icebox kept meat fresh for only a short time. A strong brine, or pickle, was a preservative of sorts. A gen erous amount of salt rubbed into the meat was a half measure; it worked reasonably well with pork. The smokehouse, with its smouldering fire of corncobs or hickory wood, imparted a deli cious, smoky taste and a mild preservative. The farm housewife often packed a crock with meal and covered it over with melted lard. This kept out the air and bac teria and kept it for several months. Of course all these processes took considerable lime and grandfather tried always to do the butchering when the weather was very cold. Frozen meat kept as well as the smoked or salted. Where flies were relatively scarce and the weather hot and dry, beef was hung from a tree. After dehydration was complete, the meat could be kept for some time. All He Could Hold The problem of meat preser vation has plagued mankind since the time the dawn man killed his first animal. He, like the four-footed predators, had to eat all he could hold and consign what was left for lesser meat caters, or creature not so partic ular as to the freshness of flesh. Like man, the four-foots ale the freshly killed animal until their sides bulged. Then, their appetites satisfied, they fell into a deep sleep. While they slept, the process of putrefaction be gan in what was left of the car cass. Insects laid their eggs and hatched maggots began infesting 1 the rotting flesh. By the time the over-indulgent near-human animal awoke from his sleep, he found the next meal was unfit. The man or the four foot had to kill again to satisfy his reawakened hunger. It look many thousands of years for man to discover some means of keeping meat for a later meal. Others Had Secret Within very recent times, the freezer and various chemicals were discovered. Both were giant steps and man was justi fied in feeling pride in his dis coveries, except for one little sour note. This should be a little deflating as far as human ego is concerned, for some very lowly creatures have had the secret of meat preservation for a very long time; since the very begin ning of time, as a matter of fact. Even as the dawn man was hogging down all he could at one or two sessions and while near modern man was messing around with smoke, spices, salt and sun-drying and hoping fur freezing weather, and modern scientists were playing with va rious chemicals to extend the freshness period of meat, the wasps and many spider species were injecting chemicals into the bodies of living prey that paralyzed them, rendering them helpless bul alive, in which state they "lived" until the young of the wasps needed them for fresh meat. The spiders always have known the secret. They can anesthetize their victims, a sys tem of meat preservation that is difficult to duplicate. NEW YORK (UPI) -This is a season when the business- man's thoughts may turn among other things, to giving. Not merely by himself, but in a way of himself, on behalf of others. In the fall and winter season as many as nine out of 10 of this city's most active business men may devote time to fund raising enterprises fur various charities: for health and wel fare institutions and services,!

Joseph Willen, executive vice president of the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York, said recently .that the businessman who did not accept at least one philanthropic assign ment cither lacks roots in his community or is moving too fast for his own physical good. Fund-raising organizations are for the most part no longer willing merely to accept con tributions from the good organizer-businessman; they look for a greater donation, his time. And usually get it. Austin V. McClain, president of Marts & Lundy, Inc., one of the nation's top fund-raising firms, has estimated corporate and executive philanthrophy at $9.3 billion a year. McClain said that many top executives spend up to 20 per energy to their philanthropy that they devote to their own professions or industries. The group for which Willen works is headed by Irving Mitchell Felt, community devel oper and head of Madison Square Garden Corp. It has a building fund goal of $156 mil lion, described as the largest single philanthropic drive in his- story, and has raised about $90 1 wh0 has turned time and talent million of this to date. to philanthropic causes may get Often, businessmen start out i his start through joining in a with an interest in specific and; class drive for funds for his McClain has said that a study ! sense of personal satisfaction, of the activities of principal I or of helping to discharge civic officers of leading corporations i responsibility, may lead him on. show they frequently are moved by a strong sense of civic res ponsibility; some say that they J favor voluntary systems of sup port to remove needs for com- j I plete dependence upon federal or state aid.

First, he said, pick holly when the temperatures are above freezing, and handle it carefully. Move it rapidly into a cool place for treating and packing. An inexpensive hormone ma terial is available at most gar den supply stores in small or large quantities for use in mak ing a dip that will prevent defol- j iation of the holly for two weeks or longer. Mix this hormone with water according to directions and dip the holly for a moment, remove it, and let the excess water drain off. Then the holly is ready to pack. Cardboard cartons lined with florist foil or plastic coated freezer paper give best protec tion from drying, Clark said. Rapid transportation also influ ences the condition of the holly when it is unpacked. Arrival in five days or less is desirable. perhaps limited groups, then expand their activities into overall community affairs. school or college; once intro duced to the new hobby or avocation he may find that the MARK'S GROCETERIA 6th and Grape Mcdford Village Variety & Garden Shop Next to Piggy Wiggly . . . 771 STEWART AVENUE BECO ILLUMINATED CHRISTMAS FIGURES Santa, Choir Boys & Girls, Angels, Candles, Snowmen (Complete with Bulb) $3 POST OFFICE Open Tonight Uutil 9 P.M.
