Movie Pictures Sending Labor to the
Farms
Nearly every motion-picture thea
ter in the country is enlisted in the
campaign of the United States En-
ployment Service Of the Department
Of Labor to supply labor to the
farms. The estimated total patron
age Of these theaters is about
6O,0O0,000 persons.
Eleven of the largest motion-pic-
ture manufacturers are cooperating
with the Farm Service Division in
its drive for maximum food produc-
ton. These film producers are re
leasing to their subscribers-the
theaters - moving picture trail
ers." calling on all those who possibly
can do so to volunteer with the En-
9loyment Service for harvest work
and other forms of emergency farm
labor.
Three sample trailers, each about
25feet long and running on the screen
fer about one minute, are sent to
each film manufacturing company
weekly. the company selecting one
TO go with its current releases.
Through their national association
the manufacturers work as a unit in
distributing the trailers, releasing
them among their subscribers so there
can be no overlapping.
Coolest Place in Refrigerator, Not
Closest to Ice.
Many housewives have learned
from sad experiences in loss Of per-
ishable foods that next to the ice is
not the coolest place in the home re-
frigerator. To the housewife who
has nothad this experience the Food
administrators gives this advice:
"Many put their butter and milk
right next to the ice because they
think this is the coolest place, but,
as matter of fact, the coolest place
is at the bottom of the refrigerator.
Hot air rises, and air that is not be-
ing constantly purified by circulation
around the blocks of ice soon are un-
fit to come into contact with the
food When the warm air in the re-
frigerator rises it carries with it i'm
2ur.ies and moisture which are abb
sorbed from the surface Of the food.
and which is allowed to remain in the
air spells the food The air which
is warmed by passing over the food
comes in contact with the ice where
the moisture is condensed upon the
surface and the impurities are car
ried off by the melting ice. The air
is thus dried, cooled and purified.
The cooled air Immediately descends
to gather 1p more moisture and inn
purities ard thus the process is re-
peated continually
ut is advisable to allow heated
food to cool off before placing it in
the refrigerator. II put in when
warm it raises the temperature ~
the refrigerator higher than il should
go and melts ice unnecessarily. The
trapdoor through which the meltsge
passes out at the bottom Of the re-
frigerator should be kept in place,
because if it is broken or lost con-
slant streamofwarm air is allowed to
flow into the refrigerator"
