cans, glass freeze jars, aluminium
foil and pliofilm are some of the
containers and wrappings you may
use.
5. All foods to be stored in the
locker should be quick frozen and
then stored at O-degrees Fahren-
heit.
8. In selecting and preparing
vegetables for freezing, select only
fresh, tender, young immature pro-
ducts, just at the right state for
good eating. During hot weather
1t is best to harvest vegetables in
the early morning before they have
absorbed much heat from the sun.
Handle with speed. Wash well,
drain, sort, trim and cut as for
eating or canning.
Z. 1t is very necessary that veg
etables be scalded. Scalding the
vegetables in boiling water or steam
prevents the loss Of quality and
preserves the vitamin content.
8. After you scald the vegetables
place them Immediately in running
cold water or a larger container Of
iced water. Chilling stops further
cooking and also prevents loss of
quality. Drain the chilled vegetables
and pack in alright, moisture and
|vapor-proof containers. Seal &C.
cording to type container used
Label and store in coolest part OF
the refrigerator until ready TO put
into the freezer.
8. Fruits for freezing should be
sound. ripe and not soft or mushy
Tree or vine-ripened fruits con
tain more vitamins and a richer
flavor than fruits picked green and
allowed to ripen before freezing.

The time is here for canning
freezing and preserving foods.
AS you go about 'laying-in" foods
for the coming months, the first
thing to remember is that the food
coming out of your locker drawer
home freezer or a jar is no better
than it was before you froze, can
ned, preserved or. stored it.
AS you select and prepare foods
for freezing, foods specialists say
you will do well to keep in mind
the following pointers:
l. Fruits and vegetables that are
to be frozen should be the correct
variety for freezing and harvested
at the right stage of maturity.
2. Careful preparation is impor-
tant. Cleanliness is the first rule,
The main precaution is to prevent
bacteria from getting into the food.
3. Speed in preparation is nec-
essary. Promptness in handling,
chilling and freezing any product
helps to retain quality.
4. Proper packaging is also i'm
portant. Use moisture-vapor proof
containers or wrappings. This type
container or wrapping will keep
the food from losing its color, flavor
food value and from changing its
texture. Cellophane bags, heavily
waxed cartons, plastic cartons, tin

Mr.. Bray said he was in his
house short distance south o1

attention was attracted by the
sputtering noise of the engine. He
went outside and saw the plane

u. n. Diplomats Seek
To Reassure Peipinq
And Avert New War
Clear Warming Given,
However, on Further
Intervention in Korea
BY the Assoeioied Press

LAKE SUCCESS. Nov. 13.-The
United Nations mounted a three
prenged diplomatic offensive to-
day. seeking to neutralize Com
munist China and to prevent the
Korean campaign from exploding
into World War III.
On the eve of the departure
from Peiping of a Red delegation
to the Security Council, diplomats
moved swiftly to keep the war
localized.
The basic strategy was to re-
assure Chinese Communist leaders
that u. N forces have no designs
on their territory, will not inter-
fere with China's supply of electric
power from North Korean dams
and will build a united, demo-
cratic. independent Korea which
will present no threat to China.
Combined With Warning.
This was combined with a clear
warning, however, that continued
Red Chinese Intervention in Korea
would lead to drastic action.
AS though to point up these
efforts, spokesman at Gen. Mac
Arthur's Tokyo headquarters an
nounced that the current Allied
push toward the Yalu River is
just a limited offensive"
Informed observers here con-
sidered this indicated that the
U. N. military command also was
treading gingerly, hoping to win
a decisive victory over the North
Koreans, while giving the Chinese
an opportunity to withdraw with
a minimum loss of face.
U. N. Strategy Outlined.
The U. MS strategy was applied
in these three directions:
l. Australia's James Plimsoll, q
member of the seven-nation Ko-
rean commission, flew to Korea
to be available, with other COM
mission members, in case Peiping
wanted to negotiate a border set
tlement.
There was no indication that
the Chinese Reds had made any
approaches in this direction, but
Mr.. Plimsoll's flight was regarded
here as further evidence of U. N.
determination to ignore no oppor-

Truman Is Expected
To Go to Philadelphia
For Army-Novy Game

President Truman is ex-
pected to go to Philadelphia
for the Army-Navy game this
year as usual, White House
Press Secretary Charles G.

Because of the increased
safeguards thrown around the
President since the recent
assassination attempt, there
had been some thought that
Mr.. Truman might forego the

The President has seen the
Army and Navy in action

the White House.
