OSC Scientists Find Important Use For Vitamins as Food Preservative Oregon State college scientists will continue studies of vitamins used as food preservatives with a renewed grant of $12,000 from the U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Certain K vitamins, normally involved in manufacture of pro­ tective body substances, are now filling new roles as food preser­ vatives, says Dr. H. Y. Yang, food technologist in charge of the pro­ ject. Previous OSC studies indicate that one of these, Vitamin K-5, prolongs shelf life of a variety of foods including cottage cheese, mushroom sauce, crab meat, Ched­ dar cheese, strawberry jam and frankfurters. Apple juice, which usually ferments after a day’s storage, retained all natural col­ ors and freshness with the addi­ tion of K-5 after several days storage at room temperature. More Extensive Tests Planned Groundwork has now been laid at OSC for more extensive tests and development of new methods for adding the vitamin to foods. Food preserved with the vitamin will be stored for several weeks at refrigerated as well as room temperatures. , Dr. Yang notes differences be­ tween vitamin K-5 and other food preservatives. Vitamin K-5 is the only known vitamin that kills or­ ganisms in food. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) only prevents discol­ oration. Most chemical preserva­ tives slow down bacterial activity but don't add to food's nutritive value, he explains. Unlike moat preservatives, vita­ min K-5 is heat-resistant. Be­ cause it isn't destroyed by heat, the vitamin may be added to food before processing and remains ac­ tive after the container is opened, retaining more fresh flavors and nutrients. Wide Range Preservative One of the most versatile pre­ servatives yet known, vitamin K- 5 can be used to preserve a wide range of food. Most artificial pre­ servatives are limited to certain acid foods only. A little K-5 goes a long way too—it's effective in MIGRANT MINISTRY GROUP ELECTS McNEIL CHAIRMAN Malheur Migrant Ministry com­ mittee met Monday afternoon in the Nyssa Methodist church to elect officers and instruct a dele­ gate to the state meeting in Bend Nov. 28. The Rev. Robert McNeil of Vale was chosen as county chairman. Other officers elected were Mrs. Arlie Fields of Vale, secretary, and Mrs Hudson Robb of Nyssa, treasurer. The Rev. McNeil will attend the Bend meeting to report on work done in this county. The Rev. Paul Ludlow is out­ going county chairman and had served in that capacity for the past four years. very low concentrations, Yang has found. The K vitamins are present in green leafy vegetables, cheese, liver, egg yolks and tomatoes. Humans need vitamin K to pro­ duce prothrombin, a blood sub­ stance essential in preventing ex­ cessive bleeding. OSC food technologists are among the first to study vitamin K as a food preservative. They discovered its unique qualities several years ago when examin­ ing more than 100 other preserva­ tives. Assisting with the study are Latif Rasulpuri, Leticia Gomez and Joan Michalek.

Richards Serves On USS Rochester In Western Pacific I.eRoy H Richards, boatswain's mate third class, USN, son of Vern L. Richards of Nyssa, is serving aboard the heavy cruiser, USS Rochester, operating with the U. S. Seventh Fleet in the Western Pacific. He re-enlisted Sept. 13 for six years. Before entering the Navy in November 1952, Richards attend­ ed Jerome city high school. The new adventure tn excellence keyed to the West Changes in so unique and desirable a car have always been approached with restraint. Although unmistakably new. the Thunder­ bird for 1961 retains its classic lines, its ideally compact size and its 4-passenger luxury. But within those self-imposed limits now come major advancements to carry on the great Thunderbird tradition. An engineering “first” has been achieved in a steering wheel • that literally moves — as much as ten inches to the right —when the transmission is set in the “PARK” position. This permits unbelievable ease in entering and leaving the driver’s seat. A trio of power assists has been made standard equipment this year—larger power brakes that now adjust themselves automat­ ically, new power steering that reduces effort by 65% while providing even better road feel, and vacuum-controlled Cruise-O- Matic transmission. In addition to many engineering miracles is a brilliant, new design concept that will appeal to the most discriminating tastes while actually contributing to passenger comfort and convenience. This, then, is Thunderbird for '61, truly an ultimate car for those who demand simple elegance, superb craftsmanship and unmatched performance. The highest resale record for any luxury car attests to its value. Judge it on the road soon but see it now... at your nearby Ford dealer’s.
