WAR iS SPUR
 10 USAGE OF
 FROZEN FOOD
Engineers Told of Great, Fast Developing
 Industry Ahead

NEW Wartime overthrow of the former prejudice against frozen foods has provided the United States with another great and fast-developing industry, Don aid Barr, vice president in charge of marketing of Birds Eye-Snider, Inc, told the American Society of Refrigerating Engineers, New York Section, at the Hotel Sheraton re- gently.
 MT. Barr said that the frozen food industry is now well estab- lished with full public acceptance and that the period of great ex- pansion is just ahead The Birds Eye-Snider company has quick frozen successfully thousand foods in it's experimental work, Mir Barr reported, and since l94l there has been a 25 to 30 per cent increase in the industry's capacity primarily for the purpose of sup plying the armed forces.
 Saying that retailers and whole salers are fascinated with the po- tentialities of the frozen food market, MT. Barr said that devel- opment will be gradual only be- cause of the shortage of equip ment, which is holding the industry back
 He said that all manufacturers of refrigerating equipment have large programs for developing home- use units for keeping frozen foods and that locker plants have sprung up all over the country where individuals and stores may rent space for storing frozen foods. Referring to frozen foods role as spur to the refrigeration equip mcnt industry and a provider of

THEIR VISION IS ORIGIN OF OUTSTANDING
 DEVELOPMENT IN CITY OF SUPER MARKET;
 MEET DRIVING SPIRITS OF 10TH CENTURY
(0PSTEAD DRAWS IDEAS FROM WIDE EXPERIENCE
Ideals of Service Gained Across Counter Embod-
 jed in New Layout

Roald c. (Cop) Copstead, CO., owner of the new 20th Century Super Market here. is an Alaska boy. Schooled at Ketchikan, where his parents, MT and Mrs Chris Copstead, still reside, he laid the foundation for his success in the meat distributing business in Frye and Company's retail meat marke at Ketchikan.
 After seven ond one-half years in Frye's market at Ketchikan, be- coming familiar with the meat de- sires of Southeast Alaskans, Cop did a stint in the big packing plant operated at Seattle by Frye There he rounded out his knowl- edge of all sides of the meat busi- ness.
 Returning to the retail phase of the industry, he was employed for a time by Jackson Brothers, at Tacoma. Eleven years ago, he left the Puget Sound area to come to Juneau, where he has since re- mained. Cops" first post in Ju- neau was with Piggly Wiggly, where he was manager of the meat de- partment. When the Piggly Wiggly Alaska Company shut the doors of its old store next to Percy's, he moved to the Alaska Meat Com pany, becoming assistant manager
 In 1889 was formed the partner ship with Harold Bates that re- suited in the first establishment Of the 20th Century Meat Market here, with Copstead assuming ac- tive direction of the enterprise Even then, 20th Century signifed new developments locally in the handling of meats.
 From his first Ketchikan experi- ence, supplemented by considerable added knowledge of Juneau buying habits gained during his employ ment ill Juneau markets, Cop" had fostered ideas regarding ina proved meat preparation methods and service efficiency which he in- corporated into the original 20th Century Market, and which speed fly gained for it a foremost posi- tion in the Gastineau Channel area. Those ideas assured that 20th Century customers received

HIGHER STANDARDS FOR DIETS PLANNED OFF WARS LESSONS
Federal Program Might Subsidize Food Con-
 sumption for Needy

WASHINGTON - A nutritional program designed to rise dietary and hence health-standards of the country is under discussion among administration officials
 Such propram might involve government subsidization of food consumption by families without sufficient income to buy an ade- quate diet
 Speculation that the administra- tion may come forward with nu- tritional plan developed after Presi- dent Truman sent a message to Congress urging the establishment of a national health insurance plan, under which individuals and their employers would contribute to a premium fund for payment of costs of sickness.
 In doing so the President de- clared the health of individuals to be a concern of the nation.
 Experience of the selective service system during the war showed that thousands of men were rejected because of diseases which could be attributed to malnutrition. Hence, government nutritional authorities said, any national program de- signed to raise health standards, if it was to succeed would have to take into account malnutrition.
 Studies on ways of raising die tary standards have been made by the Agriculture Department and submitted to the White House, ac- cording to officials Plans sug- gested include a broad school lunch program under which hot lunches would be served in every public school, with the federal and state governments and local school districts financing the program. Lunches at government expense are being served now in a small part Of the schools.
 Suggested also was a food stamp lJlOBl dlll SOlllCWlIdb ollllIlSl tO plleib employed on a limited scale during the late Thirties to help dispose of farm surpluses. A bill providing for such program has been in troduced in Congress by Senators Aiken, (R-VtD and La Follett, (P- Wis.
 Both the school lunch and the food stamp plan would serve in directly as farm-aid measures in so far as they increased consumption Both plans have the support of the National Farmers Union.
 In a study on what it called "the problem of underconsumption" the Agriculture Department said that malnutrition had two adverse social effects, one physiological and one economic.
 "The physiological effect" the re- port said, lis manifested in malnu triton, ill health and dependency The economic effect manifests it. self as a deterrent to the operating economy of the nation

ITS LONG TRAIL TO TABLE FROM OUT WHERE JUICY LEONE STEAKS
 CROW MIDST SCENT or RIPE SACE
By LEWIS NORDYKE

AMARILLO, Texas-It may be at Amarillo, Billings or Cheyenne anywhere out West The Indian summer haze hangs low, and there's a breath of ripened sage on the crisp morning air. The milling cattle stir up clouds of dust; sleek heifers and steers, bulls, old cows and frisky calves with clean, white faces below in a chorus of dis content. The cowpuncher, forking his sWeat-covered cutting horse and yelling hip. hey, hi" weaves in and out of the herd; he is cutting out the animals that are going to market. It is the fall roundup.
 The roundup on the ranches of the western COW country is the cowman's harvest and one of the most important factors in beef production in this country. But this year it has meant more than ever before to a beef-hungry nation and world. The grass has been good only spotted drought and the cattle are lat. More beef animals moved from the range last fall than in any season for many years.
 When you see the vast herds leaving the range for market, you have the feeling that surely there could never be another beef short age; it's like a surging river at flood stage But there will prob ably be a beef shortage in the spring and summer of l946 because the normal method of production has been disrupted.
 Before the war the constant flow of beef to the market counters came from the feed lots, mainly in the Middle West. The bulk of the heifers and steers went from the range to these lots and were kept on corn and other feed from 90 days to nine months. The beef moved to market as it was finished. and this kept the supply and de- mand balanced at all times. Grain fed cattle are much heavier than those coming off the range and fewer animals are needed
 War conditions-the uncertainty of the cattle business under gov ernment regulations, new and vital demands for grain. the manpower shortage reduced feeding opera tions and left the country largely dependent on range conditioned beef. This meant feast during the fall roundup and famine there after. Tine situation will not get

ROASTED EGGS HAVE USE FOR SALADS, SUCH
New Process Takes Hen Product Right Out of
 PerishabIe Class

BOSTON, Mass. - Most house. keepers consider eggs-and quite rightly, too-as highly perishable, which makes a process developed by a Boston concern very interest ing.
 It consists of roasting the food at 245 to 25o degrees F., and do- ing it in such a way that the re- sulting product is impervious to spoilage. All organisms inside the shell that might cause deteriora- tion are destroyed. and any in the air outside are prevented from penetrating by the tissue-like mem brane that lies close to the white and is converted into an alright covering by the heat. Eggs so roasted can remain at room tenn perature virtually indefinitely with out change in odor, flavor, appear ance or nutritiye value.
 What do roasted eggs taste like? From sample specimens, we think they are remarkably like those that have been hard-cooked except, per- haps, in texture, which may be a bit firmer. Having been treated with dry heat rather than the moist that eharacterizes hard boiling! they do not absorb water, and so the slightly more solid effect is un- derstandable. Unlike eggs that are boiled, the yolk and white do not separate, which is a distinct ad- vantage so far as egg salads and sandwiches are concerned

Fragner Leaves Leading Grocery Firm to Man
 age Local Venture

A newcomer to Juneau, but not a newcomer to the grocery business, is Les Fragner, manager of the grocery and produce departments of the new 2Oth Century Super Market here.
 Single and personable, Les has quite a background of experience in foods distribution. gained in the hard school operated by the big market chains.
 Born at Chehalis, Wash, Les moved with his family when he was five years old to Grandview, in the Yakima Valley, where he made his way through the grades and high school.
 School behind him, young Frag- ner did a hitch in Uncle Sam's Marines, serving aboard the battle wagons Maryland and California and finishing up his Marine career at the seagoing soldiers San Diego, Calf, base.
 Returning to the Northwest, Les chose the grocery business as his onion and went to work for Safe way Stores at Wenatchee, Wash. The year 1889 found him managing Safeway outlets at Cashmere and Okanogan, Wash. That year. he switched his allegiance to Atlantic and Pacific and moved to the big city" Seattle, as manager of A&P's West Seattle store. It was from there that Les joined the 20th Century team, coming north to Juneau month ago to help whip Juneau's fine new foods center into shape for it's opening.

BATES lS TW0-CAREER MAN; LAWYER BUTCHER
Partner in New Foods Cen ter Made Start in Home
 Town Meat Shop

Review of the experiences of Harold H. Bates, partner in the new 20th Century Super Market opening it's doors here, reveals a man who entered the food-par- ticularly meat-dispensing business through the back door and who except for sidetrips into the law has stayed right with it until he has worked up to the boss chair
 Back in his family's home town, Wapello, Iowa, MT. Bates went to school and at an early age to work in the Wapello Meat Market After his early introduction to the but cher's block, he turned to higher learning, devoting a year to studies at Parsons College, Fairfield, Iowa.
 After his year in the halls of higher learning, he found himself out on the Pacific Coast, located at San Mateo where he operated, from l930 to 1888, the meat and allied concessions in the largest super market in the entire San Francisco Bay area = The San Mateo Food Center.
 MT. Bates legal venture opened with studies at San Francisco Law School sandwiched in among the cuts of juicy steaks and tender chops passing over his San Mateo meat counter. Upon completion of four years of law studies, the bar beckoned as full-time career-so neophyte Attorney Bates sold out his San Mateo meat business and embarked on the ship of lady law taking employment as legal in- vestigator and adiustor for an in- surance company at Bakersfield, Calf.
 A year at Bakersfield served to dim the glamour of a courtroom career Besides, the siren call of Alaska sounded in the ears of At torney Bates Taking passage northbound, with Kodiak as his goal, the present 20th Century partner sailed the sheltered seas of Alaska's Inside Passage toward his Alaskan destination which proved to be Juneau, not Kodiak.
 Finding the Capital City more to his liking than any of Alaska s other towns that had appeared to his view, he quit ship here to become meat-cutter Bates again, on the staff of the Sanitary Meat Company here.
 Only shortly after then, in July, 1889, Bates joined with Roald Cop stead to form the goth Century Meat Company, in the partnership that has continued and prospered to the present time and is now to move it's thriving business into new expanded quarters across the street from it's successful location of the past eight years.
 While keeping steadfastly to his partnership in the 20th Century Market here, Bates turned to the law again. Becoming a member of the Alaska Bar, in 1940 he went to Sitka, where he opened profit able legal practice and became City Attorney and City Magistrate. Then followed short stay at Skagway before he returned to Juneau and the market business-with enough law practice on the side to keep his tonSils in tune.
 With the 20th Century Market here now mushrooming into what both partners are firmly convinced is the best appointed complete food center in all Adaska-if not in all the West-meat-ma lawyer Bates plans to concentrate on the pri- mary phase of his dual career At tention will be pointed to clinch the success of Juneau's newest food center

The cake-walks proved popular
with everyone. And marching in
them were such youngsters as
David and Phil Mcmillan, Anne
Shoemaker, John Kilby Reeves,
Chairman T. E. Parker and the
rest of the inbetweeners. Mrs.
Jim Story, Jim McLaurin, Mrs.
Elizabeth Miller and Miss Madge
Kilby were the lucky ones.
The birthday cake was first
won by Chairman Parker, who
returned it and then it was won
by Mrs. Arthur Frazier. This
cake was one of two baked for
the occasion by Mrs. Jennings

Rock, checkers and bingo all
proved interesting. Mrs. Ed D.

good barker at bingo and was
ably assisted by Sharpe (West)
Shoemaker, who remained in. cos
tune for the event; Jim Story,
Ira T. Johnston and others. Mrs.
Carl Goswick and Miss Helen
Ghormley seemed to know how
to win most often. Jack Rhodes
and Tom Duncan found checkers
most interesting. The Ross Van

settled on rock.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence Tyson
and Mrs. Basil D. Barr were
among those who declared it was
more fun to get together and talk
instead of playing games.
