Man Was Slow To Learn
Ways To Preserve Meat
When grandfather butchered a
hog or a steer, some way had to
be found to preserve the meat
for future use. 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.

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

treating and mailing holly.
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.
