Lauded by Dr.. Kinder

Warm praise for the series OF
neighborhood concerts by the Nat

being sponsored in high schools in
Washington and surrounding areas
came today from Dr. Hans Kinder,
conductor. of the orchestra and E. r.
Finkenstaedt, president OF the or

The first concert Of the Series will
be held next Monday. at $3.50 PM at
Roosevelt High School. Admission
will be by invitation from The Star.
The admission cards will be ready
within few days and will be distrib-
uted by Roosevelt and Coolidge High
schools, the Recreation Department,
Station WMAL and The Star.
Station WMAL will broadcast all
of the concerts.
Interested in Radio Phase.
DR.. Kinder expressed especial in
terest in the radio phase Of the con-
certs, declaring:
Naturally we are all more than
happy with The Stars wonderful
idea of presenting the National
Symphony Orchestra to a radio
audience.
II have always believed in the
invaluable assets of radio perform
ances. 1t Is radio which has raised
the standard Of appreciation OF
great music throughout the Nation
ITO participate in this distribu-
ton of great music, to meet with
tens Of thousands of listeners in.
stead Of so many hundreds, is in
deed wonderful prospect. I an
looking forward to it with anticipa.
tion and enthusiasm.
Stresses Value of Concerts.
Mr.. Finkenstaedt stressed the
value of the neighborhood concerts
in acquainting more Washington
ians with their orchestra.
THE fine tradition of community
service is being maintained by The
Evening Star in presenting this
series of nine neighborhood con-
.certs to be broadcast over WMAL,' >
he declared. The National SYM
phony Orchestra and the association
are proud to share in this service
with The Evening Star
Fine music will be brought to all
parts of the city and a city-wide
broadcast of one hour will enable
many people to enjoy a concert who
otherwise could not do so.
1T is to be hoped that this series
of nine concerts will be increased ir
the years to come to provide sym.
phony music to many thousands
through the media of radio and
these in city tours. Constitution
Hall, where the National Symphony
generally plays, has a limited ca
pacity, but there is no limit to the
radio audience. We in the associa-
ton feel that pleasure will be
brought to thousands denied the
pleasure of hearing the National

Homemalsers'

GLADYS K. BOdON
Home Demonstration Assent

Should vegetables be scaled be-
fore freezing? This is question
that is often asked of research
workers and home demonstration
agents of the State College of
Washington. As result of expert
ments recently completed at the
State College the answer is Eyes"
The experiments were conduct
ed by Margaret McGregor and C..
L. Bedford of the Home Economics
and Horticultural Divisions of the
Agricultural Experiment station.
Miss McGregor reports that tests
were made with spinach, chard,
peas, snapbeans and lima beans.
In making the tests part Of the lot
of vegetables was frozen raw with
out scalding, another part was
scalded in hot water and cooled in
cold water, and a third part was
scalded in hot water and cooled
in air before freezing. After five
to six months in frozen storage,
the samples were taken from the
locker and tested for their vitamin
c content and cooking qualities.
A panel of five judges were
asked to grade the cooked vege-
tables that had been frozen with
and without scalding. With every
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1946-06-27

vegetable graded, the unanimous
decision of the judges placed the
raW-frozen vegetables at the bot
tom of the scale. Some of the
comments made were, definitely
unacceptable" "unpalatable," and
spoiled" "sour." 60
The raw frozen spinach and the
chard were yellow-green in color
while the peas, snapbeans and Ii
ma beans were very faded COM
pared to the scalded vegetables.
In all cases, the odor of the raw
frozen samples was strong and
'hay-like" and the flavor was de-
scribed as being "sulphurous and
mustard-like." Scalding the vege-
tables before freezing gave pro-
duct which was graded "satisfac-
tory" and sshighly acceptable" in
every instance. -@.~~..
Air-cooling the scalded vege-
table is a new idea, but it seems
to be a good one. Spread the scald-
ed vegetables in a thin layer on a
tray or mesh screen before a fan,
and the vegetable will be cool,
ready for packaging within few
minutes. This eliminates the in
convenient step of water-cooling
and saves the housewife time. The
air-cooled product after cooking
was, equally as satisfactory as the
sample which had been water
cooled. .*#.
Does scalding help to save the
vitamin c in frozen vegetables?
Generally speaking the answer is
eyes" Except for lima beans, the
vegetables which are scalded con-
tanned considerably more vitamin
G after frozen storage than did
the same vegetables frozen raw.
Spinach and chard, which are con-
sidered very good sources of vita
min c, lost all of this vitamin
when frozen raw. The air-cooled
vegetables retained as much vita
min c as did the water-cooled.
Scalding vegetables before the
freezing is an important step in
preserving the fresh color and fla
vOr of the newly harvested vege-
table and in conserving the origi-
nal nutritious value. Detailed di-
rections for freezing vegetables
may be obtained by writing to the
Agriculture Extension Service at
the State College of Washington.

Plenty Of Produce
Available For
Local Food Needs

Holmes county residents will off
set short supplies of meat, wheat,
fats and oils by consuming nearly
81 ,5l7, 900 pounds of the nations
bumper fresh fruit and vegetable
crop to maintain high nutritional
standards this year, it was pre-
dicted today by leading food dis
tributor.
Fresh fruits and vegetables will
adequately supplement the limited
supplies of many foods now avail
able" said Harvey Baum, head OF
A & p Food Stores produce-buying
operations. Increased use of perish
able produce will permit shipment
of other foods to those hunger
ridden nations now subsisting on
daily diets ranging from 1000 to
1,500 calories as compared with an
average of $500 calories for this
country"
Part of the fresh fruits and vege-
tables consumed by Holmes resi-
dents comes from this county's $3.50
farms and neighboring growers.
Large amounts of perishables are
received from other sections to meet
the county's year-round needs. The
development of more efficient dis
tributionmethods, Baum said, has
helped double fresh fruit and vege-
table consumption in the past 25
years and makes possible a greater
selection of foods necessary for a
well-rounded diet and a higher
standard of living.
Basing his estimates on prelim-
mary indications of food production
and consumption for 1946, Baum
said that each person in the country
will eat an average of 1885 pounds
of food this year. This represents
a 10 per cent increase over the 1885
1899 average, with fresh fruits and
vegetables accounting for nearly one
third of the food to be consumed,
he added.

Your State Health
Officer Says.

"The golden age of child health
might well describe the past 80 years
for the remarkable gains achieved
in controlling death and diesase
among children under IA constitutes
one of the finest accomplishments
by private physicians and pupnc
health administration. What has
been done in reducing the death
rate among children of this group
is pointed up in the sharp drop IN
number of deaths reported during
this time. This great improvement
is highly significant in view OF the
fact that it has been accomplished
in period during which there were
2 world wars and major economic
depression.
In certain diseases the reduction
in the death rate has been amazing;
for instance, the death rate from
measles, scarlet fever, whooping
cough and diphtheria has declined
well over 900 among white chill
dren. 1t is a striking fact that in the
age group / to IA years the death
rat from oil causes combined now
constitutes less than the deaths from
those 4 diseases only 35 years ago.
The decrease of 97fo for diphtheria
is an outstanding example of what
can be accomplished in saving lie
lwhenknowledge pertaining to pre-
vention and treatment OF disease Is
available and fully utilized. A num-
Der of large communities IN the
United States have not lost single
child from diphtheria in several
wears. What other communities have
done, we in Mississippi can also 40
but we must make full use OF all
methods at hand.
Another signal victory for pubic
health has been the decline OF 1910
in the rate from diarrhea and enter
tits. For every child that now dies
from this cause, 20 died little more
than a generation ago. The prln-
cipal factors in bringing about these
results have been the pasteurization
of milk, the greater purity OF drink
ing water and foods, modern re-
frigeration and the widespread edu-
cation of mothers regarding the care
and feeding of young children.
