Los Angeles, Calif.-Local Union
No. l13 has not been in the news for

The pottery industry on the west

pare notes and iron out some of our
problems.
Our last meeting was held Sunday

These Brothers paid US visit after
attending the A. f. of l.. Convention

Brother George Pace has left the

he didn't even work full day.
Listen, Brothers, that kind of stuff
puts US on the spot and the ones who

LONGER LIFE FOR POTS
AND PANS

If you want to prolong the life of
your kitchen utsi>-ils, it makes a diff
ference what kind of treatment you
give them to remove heavy grease,
burnt foods or stains.
Strongly alkaline soaps and cleans
ing powders shouldn't be used on
aluminium, as they slowly eat it away
by chemical action. Stains may be re-
moved with a ne abrasive or steel
wool. If securing fails, boiling some
strongly acid food like tomatoes or
rhubarb or even just vinegar and
water in the pan will often do the
trick.
A mildly alkaline cleaning powder
is all right to use on enamel ware, or
a fine feldspar abrasive, but never d
coarse abrasive. A weak solution of
soda and water boiled in an enamel
pan will often remove burnt-on foods
that don't yield to milder treatment.
Burnt-on food on tinware should be
attacked with care and a fine securing
powder Too much securing will rub
away the thin coating of tin, expos
ing the cast IRON base of the pan to
rust. For the same reason, tinware
should be carefully dried after wash
ing.
Cast iron skillets and kettles can be
secured with steel wool to remove
stubborn spots of food. An alkaline
soap will remove heavy grease with
out damage. TO keep them from rust
ing, cast iron pans should be thor
oughly dried after washing, and
rubbed with mineral oil if they're to
be stored any length of time.
Glass and earthenware can be
secured with fine abrasive without
damage, or washed in strong aka
line soap to remove grease.
A coarse abrasive can be used safe
ly on zinc galvanized pals and
buckets, as they, will stand harsher
treatment.
USE MILK MORE EFFICIENTLY
One way to make our milk supplies
go farther is to make more use of the
milk below the cream line, say food
experts Of the Department of Ayr
culture Skim milk, which contains all
the important milk solids except fat
and Vitamn A, should never be
wasted. 1t can be used as all or part
of the milk quota in your diet, but if
it replaces whole milk, fats and Vita
min a must be added to the diet in
other ways to make up the difference.
