SUNDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1958 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE NINE ! HOME OFFICE CONDUCIVE TO WORK Record-keeping chores can be a pleasure when you work in an inviting atmosphere. This cheery home office has been paneled in horizontally installed West Coast hemlock, .and built-in corner desk was constructed of the same materials. Bookshelves lining the wall above and to the side of the desk are of sturdy Douglas fir, finished naturally with clear lacquer, as are the desk and wall paneling. ' Hi-Fi Industry Sees An Unlimited Future By WILLIAM P. GRUBER CHICAGO (UPD The high fidel ity industry, which sold a record 300 million dollars worth of records and audio equipment last year, sees an "unlimited future" with the new advance of stereophonic sound. , At the seventh annual High Fid elity Show here, 126 manufacturers told 38,284 persons about the won ders of stereo and demonstrated their latest "rigs." For the uninitiated, stereo dif fers from conventional phono graphs (now called monophonic) in that a second amplifier and speak er are used to create at realistic three-dimensional illusion of sound from especially recorded tapes and disks. 1 To prove its point, the show en listed Chicago's famous Fine Arts Quartet to allow listeners to try to tell the live from the recorded performance. Many were red -faced to learn they had guessed wrong. The demand for stereo since the new disks were introduced last summer has been so great that some of the companies at the show revealed they are abandoning pro duction of monophonic products and will concentrate only on stereo. One record company, British - owned London Records, said its future classical releases would be stereo only. Remy van Wyck - Farkas, London s American direc tor, said: "Stereo is the sound of the future. Its possibilities are unlimited. RCA " Victor, which pioneered stereo tape recordings two years ago, is more cautious. Along with an initial release of new disks, it announced a new four-track tape which plays at a slower speed and costs one-fourth less than ear lier tapes. Many manufacturers, including Admiral, Westinghouse, Zenith and Maganvox, have combined tele vision and phonograph sets into stereo units. Others, firms long identified with high fidelity, were equally enthusiastic about the future. Pilot said it had virtually no Vitamin K5 Extends Food Storage Life, Says Oregon State College OREGON STATE COLLEGE Vitamins, the wonder workers in human nutrition, are now taking on new roles in food preservation. . One of these. Vitamin K5, need ed by the human body to help stop bleeding, can extend the stor age life of a wide range of foods, Oregon State College food tech nologists have found. Small amounts of Vitamin K5 added to mushroom sauce, crab meat, cottage cheese, frankfur ters, table syrup and strawberry jam greatly delayed spoilage. Use of natural food additives as preservatives ' increases food value, and prolongs shelf life, ac cording to Dr. H. Y. Yang, food technologist and author of a recent article in Food Technology mag azine. Some chemicals unauthor ized as food preservatives may be harmful to the consumer or af fect food quality, he says. Vitamin K5 shows definite prom ise in preserving fruit made with artificial sweeteners. Sugar, when added to fruits, acts as a preserv ative and helps prevent molds. But low calories sugarless fruits spoil quickly unless refrigerated. Vita min KS would also be useful in helping prevent food spoilage in unused portions of food. Scientists are also seeking new ways to pre serve foods in areas of the world without refrigeration. How Vitamin K5 prevents spoil age is not known, says Yang. However, some scientists believe that the vitamin when combined with water produces an "inter mediate" compound that kills the spoilage microorganisms. Natural foods high in Vitamin K5 include spinach, kale, egg yolk, liver, cheese and tomatoes. Alfalfa is another high source of the vitamin. A light tan powder, the Vitamin K5 in OSC tests was mixed with water and added to foods in varying amounts. Then foods were stored. In Drevious work at OSC, Vita min K5 has been used successfully to preserve wines. It aids in fer mentation of the juices, dui pre vents "secondary fermentation" or souring. Later tests will be made with fruits such as prunes. Berries. cherries and seafoods, including ovsters and shrimp. Other re search workers cooperating on the study are R. W. Stem, K. J . Lain, Russell Sinnhuber and W i 1 b e r t Steele. calls for old equipment, and thai stereo sales in the first three weeks of September alone were 300 per cent above the total for Au gust. Heath, a producer of comnonents for the audiophile who wants to build his own, said sales of its stereo kits, introduced only a few months ago, were already double those of its monophonic. Electrovoice reported a six-week backlog in orders and said it was adding a second shift. . A big difference between this year's hi-fi show and those of pre vious years was that more than half of the people attending this one were women. That the indus try is conscious of this was shown by the many stylish cabinets which now house audio equipment. Also, possibly in deference to the ladies, most of the exhibitors this year did not demonstrate their "rigs" with the ear-shattering vol ume of the "old" days. RADIO AID LOS ANGELES (UPD A new radio impulse device which emits 140 "beeps" per minute after it is activated by opening of a para chute will be a great aid in res cuing pilots lost in water, desert or mountain areas, according to its developers. The device, jointly developed by North American Aviation and the Telephonies Corp. of New York was approved following tests at El Centra Naval Auxiliary Air Sta tion. The low-weight transmitter can be heard by a homing receiv- 60 to 80 miles away. Office Corner In Home Makes Budget 'Easier' Where's the dentist's statement for last month? How much do we still owe .on the vacuum cleaner? Does our auto insurance cover that? Can you remember the plumber's name? What happened to the Christmas card list? Questions like these are being asked in millions of homes around the nation. In many cases, they will be greeted by silence because the answers have long ago found their way into the waste basket, or been carelessly filed among the tea napkins where they won t be unearthed for many moons. With so many important odds and ends to watch in today's pat tern of living, homeowners can no longer trust to luck. They need properly outfitted office space right in the home where all the big business of homemaking can be transacted without fuss and fuming. Ideally, the home office should be a separate room of the home, a modern counterpart of the 19th century library wiiere children are banned and weary adults can creep for a few moments' retreat. When separate study is impossible, a corner of the living room, bed room or family room can be requi sitioned and outfitted to meet the need. Obviously, the first piece of equipment needed is a desk, pref erably one with one drawer deep enough to take file folders. Book shelves are equally necessary, and their size will depend upon wheth er they are also to house the fam ily library. Since, even in the case of the separate room, space is usually BY ANY OTHER NAME HOBBS, N.M. (UPD Gentle Washington, 20, was charged with disorderly conduct here after a carnival fight. at a premium, built-in furniture is the favorite, for it guarantees -the fullest use of available space. The desk, for example, can be built underneath a window or into an odd corner where standard fur niture won't fit gracefully. Book shelves can be built round and about, into all 'the empty wall area over and adjacent to the desk. Desk, shelving, and additional cabinetry can be easily tailored from a strong, durable wood like Douglas fir or West Coast hem lock. Because this area should be made as conducive to concentra tion as possible, clear, natural finish for the wood is preferred over bright paints. Both fir and hemlock have soft, shell beige col oring which is easy on the eyes and makes for distinctive decor. To make the study corner beau tifully inviting and warm, malls should be paneled with natural, ver tical grain fir or hemlock to match the built-ins. Vertically installed paneling will heighten a low ceil ing, while installing the panels horizontally gives sweeping form to a wall. BRIDAL SUITE TIMBER LAKE, S.D. (UPD All members of the wedding party were on horseback when Fay Nord vald married Delbert Longbrake. The bride and her father rode side by side before the Rev. James Rice of St. Philip's Episcopal Church, who also was mounted. She wore a light gray riding suit with a matching cowboy hat. The bridegroom and his attendant, Jess Knight, rode between two lines of horsemen to the side of Father Rice. Following the cere mony, the couple, their attendants and other riders dismounted and knelt to recite "The Lord's Prayer." (gumma " ORANGE USE LAKE ALFRED, Fla. (UPD A crew of scientists here is seeking to find uses for citrus by-prod ucts peels, seeds, pulp which would pay for hauling the big Florida crop to market. Already, citrus wastes are used in cattle feed and by segments of the chemical industry. But it is the goal of citrus scientists to find a profitable use for every part of an orange. KEEPING 'EM HONEST YONKERS, N. Y. UPI) Burglars broke into the Angus Steak House here and took $3,100 in cash as well as a tin box con taining $400 in IOU's from the restaurant's customers. Apparently appalled at the thought of anyone getting away without paying for bis meals, the burglars telephoned the restau rant's assistant manager to advise him where the box and the IOU's could be found.
