insisted theirs were, but we couldn' t

full of roast goose, optimism, plum

Those in Kennewick who have
thought their refrigerators pretty
snazzy affair and a top notch rep
resentative of the mechanical age,
will have to take a back seat when
neighbor gets his new one after
the war. This electrical refriger-
ator of ours is going to look as
outmoded as the old phonograph
with the swinging horn does to
today's recorder for music lovers.
Tomorrow's box, as lined up ready
for production when the light says
"go," is an affair that will store
two-bushels of frozen foods and
holds a temperature Of % degrees
below zero which compartment
will be a separate unit. No de-
frosting will be needed since there
is no evaporation. The top and
sides of the regular cooling COM
partment, where you keep regular
foods, will be chilled to just the
right temperature with the cold
air moist and moving, and no gath
ering of the frost. There will be
an ultraviolet ray lamp that will
destroy bacteria on exposed food
surfaces. That large white box
that cuts such a figure in our
kitchens today may look declasse

to lining up at home that frame

work to do, now that we are

lery. There is a peace that must
be won through effort. Workers
are leaving jobs right now in war
time industry to get into other
work which they feel will be
more permanent. They feel the
peace is coming, too soon. Man.
power shortage delays peace.
Freezing workers to their jobs
hasn't been effective enough to
get us past the danger line. There
is that awfully important question
of reconversion that is occupying
the leading minds in government
and finds an interested audience
in Kennewick meetings. Some
parts of the country have a sur
plus of labor and machinery, and
so should this be put to use to
start the ball rolling for civilian
consumers needs? Then, if so,
what about that part Of the coun-
try where there is a shortage of
labor and machinery. This is a j
vital question. There are more /
phases to this reconversion topic, |
of how to do it without loss to
labor, of who is to be given first
chance, of prices, where enters
big and little business. Yes, we
can occupy our time worrying
about some of the national prob
lens that these presidential can
didates are facing.

It is predicted that two innova-
tons in the food field after the
war will be the extended service
of the quick freeze locker plants
and the dehydrating plants. The
locker plants, it is predicted, will
enter into the retail field supply
ing to the trade fresh frozen fruits
and vegetables the year around.
Some of the plants are planning
on delivery service. This new
type of service will be especially
welcomed by restaurants whose
fluctuating needs have been diff
cult to fill especially in small
communities. This service along
with that provided by dehydrating
plants is going to make a change
in the food preservation plans of
many housewives after the war.
