FEBRUARY, 1958 Strirtly for the Girls home free: By Veda Godwin The freezing method of conserving food for future use is a practice centuries old. In Arctic countries, this has been the natural method of food preservation, and even today in far northern countries we still see in use the old "Cache" which is nothing loss than the forerunner of our modern lockers. However, with the many improvements that are constantly being developed, today our home freezing equipment as well as the commercial lockers are a far cry from the old food cache used by the Eskimos and Indians of the far north. The same thing is true of the foods that come out of the lockers. The modern frozen food bears little resemblance to the food from the cache and the cold storage products k of still later day a. W Most of the original goodness as well as food value of fresh foods can be preserved in our modern frozen products if proper methods of handling, packanine. and freezing are used. With the improvements in storage methods and equipment the practice of preserving foods bv freezing is increasing rapidly. Freezing has advantages over other methods of preservation because foods that are frozen quickly and stored at zero will be more like fresh foods than will foods that are either canned or dried. Canning has been for years a very satisfactory method of preserving food and because of this, freezing should be used to supplement and not entirely replace this method. Keeping food in the commercial freezer is usually more expensive than other methods of preservation, but it is the easiest and most effective way of preserving the high mini i t \? r\f v|Utiini ul iltail UIDU.

About That Painting V The painting many of us remember most from our history books of "Washington Crossing the Delaware," was painted by a German artist. Emanuel Leutze. in I860. It was painted for Congress, but since a studio fire had damaged the canvas, it was never delivered. Leutze sold it to the German government. He made a copy which now hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The original hung in a building at Hamburg, Germany for generations, until an Allied air raid destroyed both the building and painting in 1942. It is interesting that this painting, so symbolic of our fight for freedom, should have been destroyed in our defense of freedom. WASHINGTON FIB. 22,1732 xir. \ir x T_ tr y? u vYdni 10 rv nuw . . .

Section Man improper way to descend mill Watch you WHY DO WO In these days when electronic brains are supplying answers to almost every question, it is comforting to discover that there is one question on which no machine has neatly punched out the answer on a card. The question, which has operating men of electric utilities in a tizzy, is simplv: Whv do woodpeckers peck? Of course, everyone knows that the Pileated Woodpecker, Dryocopus Pileaius. pecks to get at juicy bugs and worms on the inside of poles and trees. Almost everyone has heard him hammering and then seen him cocking his head to listen for scampering prey. So all right! If everyone knows so much, why do woodpeckers waste so much time hammering away for bugs and worms in ereosoted poles that don't contain as much as one bug per pole. Are the woodpeckers just plain stupid? Or do they like the taste of creosote? According to electrical magazines. the woodpecker has uei-n waging a one-Dira war, so to speak, against all utilities. Moreover, from the point of view of utility maintenance men the bird has an unfair advantage. This is because of the strenuous efforts woodpeckers make to help farmers by devouring termites, beetles. carpenter ants and other tree-eating insects. This activity has gotten these birds protection from State and Federal game wardens. A utility worker caught even pointing an air rifle at a woodpecker could get a $500 fine and six months in a Federal iail. As a result of this protection they have boon multiplying merrily and knocking down power poles at the rate of several million dollars' worth each year. For thirty years utility companies have tried many tricks to outwit the wily woodpecker. To date, the only result they have gotten for their of i I , Clinton Spinning =1, 1st Shi tower stairs.
