For use in salads or other I'M
cooked foods, green peppers may
be frozen without preheating, the
specialists say. They are crisper
that way. The specialists recon-
mend using them in salads before
they are completely thawed so
that they hold their crispness.
For use in cooked dishes, pre-
heating is recommended because
it softens the pepper, makes it
pack more compactly and helps
hold its good eating qualities
longer in frozen storage.
Here are directions for freezing;
Wash peppers, cut out stems, cut
in half, remove seeds, and slice
or not, as desired.
Unheated halves or slices may
be packed directly into containers
and put into the freezer. No
headspace is necessary, For pre-
heating, give halves three min
utes in boiling water, slices two
minutes, Then chill promptly in
, cold water, drain and pack tight
in containers, leaving half inch
of headspace.
Convenient containers for pep
pers in the freezer are four OIL
eight ounce size. Use leakproof
moisture-vapor-proof cans, jars
cartons or bags.

gresham, but his opponent says
that he is now too old to 60 to
Washington. "Such charge
comes with poor grace from my
Leflore county opponent when it
is realized that Will Wilmington
has been reelected six times since
he attained the age of SO years,
my present age. Surely my OPP
ponent must know of the ex-
tremely useful and valuable SER
vice Will Wilmington has given
to the people of this district the
last Is years. AS matter OF fact,
the national House of Representa-
tives is body of mature men who
are daily making decisions vital
to our national life and having
great impact upon the world
events. Youth is the exception,
not the rule, in this great deiiber-
alive body"
Mr.. Wolfe said further: 81

YOUR interests on the home front
without delay. l am intimately
familiar with the technique OF
lawmaking, both in committee
and on the floor of legislative
forum. / want to work now for

the matter of seniority, / am not
interested in going to Congress
and simply drawing handsome
salary of $4,000 year of the tax
payers nancy for an indefinite
time to get promoted to higher
place on a committee of Congress.
That is definitely not my idea OF
public service, nor do think the
American people anywhere look
upon the office of Congressman
in such light"
In concluding, Mr.. Wolfe said

a basis of two years. THAT Will
be the term Of my contract, and

the job l have done for you, !
would not expect to be continued

Home Demonstration Agent

The preparation of over 1000
meals a year consumes more of a
homemakers time and energy
than any of her other tasks. 1t is
vital to her health, comfort and
convenience that kitchen equip
ment be arranged to reduce daily
mileage.
Today's homemaker wants or
der and system in her kitchen
cabinets. She wants everything
in reach to simplify her job. She
wants to avoid needless trips to
the pantry or other storage places
This means she must have the
right amount of work surface and
cabinet space at each of the three
essential work centers - the
mixing and cleaning center, the
cooking center and the serving
center.
Work will flow in q natural Sc
quence if the homemaker travels
in step-saving triangle when
preparing meals. In the we'll
planned kitchen it will not be ne
cessary to shift food material ano
equipment from one corner OF
the kitchen to another.
In the poorly-planned kitchen
the work surfaces are frequently
broken by improperly placed
doors and windows, the nook, the
home freezer, or the washing ma.
chine which have to be lodged ir
meal preparation.
Each homemaker has her owr
ideas for the details of the inside
arrangement of her cabinet shell.

in improving her kitchen woulc
, be to weed out all articles she
never uses and then group toge.
! ther all of those she generally uses
! for the same job. They should be
so arranged that she need no,
move or lift one to reach another
article.
The four common types of kit
chens are the U, the L, the two
wall and the separate unit kit
chen.
A "U" kitchen 8 to feet wide
usually provides more wall space
than any other type for cabinets
and equipment which can be ar
ranged to require less mileage for
the homemaker.
The sink is located at the CEN
ter of the U, the range along the
left arm and the mixing center
along the right arm in the ideal
arrangement. A work table on
rollers will help reduce mileage,
if the distance between the arms

Official Says Second Group
Will Reflect Higher Costs

bought the golf course after
organizing about 3ls years ago.
Mrs. Herling said a contract
has been signed with a private
builder for a price on 80 houses
for the next section, of which
she said about 10 homes are
expected to get under way in
several weeks.
The cooperative earlier had
hoped for start on the second
group by the end of last year.
Owners of the "a pilot prof.
ect houses were required to
smake payments above the ex-
pected cost of the houses, rang
ing from about $400 to about
$700, Mrs. Harling said, owing
to invocation of a wage "esca-
lator clause" in the contract
, with the purchasers, which pro-
vided that any wage rate in
creases were to be met by the
purchasers.
In addition, some costs were
greater than anticipated, and
these costs were paid for by the
cooperative, the executive di-
rector said.
Mrs. Herling pointed out she
thought it would befair to ex-
plain that costs had increased
for private builders as we'll as
for the cooperative. She said
the cooperative employed all
union labor, but that non union
labor costs were apt to increase
at the same time that union
labor costs rose.
THE houses cost more than
had been anticipated due to a
variety of causes" she said.
Among them were changes in
specifications required by the
Federal Housing Administration,
extra cost of utilities and road
work to meet requirements of
county agencies, changes per-
mitted to buyers during the con-
struction period on which exact
costs could not be figured, and
the extension of operations over
a longer period of time than
had been planned, due to the

The Bannockburn housing
cooperative is making plans to
build another group of houses,
despite losses on the pilot
project" of "a homes.
The prices of most of the
houses in the new group will
be higher than those in the
first group to take care of in
creased costs. On one of the
houses there will be no increase.
On the others, the increases
will range up to $1,000.
Our members are perfectly
satisfied that we have obtained
many benefits through COOP
erative building, and we are
confident that these advantages
will be more and more evident
as additional houses are built
and community benefits are
realized" said Mrs. Mary Fox
Herring, executive director of
the cooperative organization.
Mrs. Herling did not mini
mize the fact, however, that diff
fculties have been met and that
the course of a housing Coop
erative is not a bed of roses.
Nor, she claims, is the life of
any builder.
"All builders, whether they
are private individuals, private
corporations or cooperative en-
terprises, have their headaches
from time to time. and we have
had our share" she said.
The site of the project is the
124-acre former Bannockburn
golf course at the intersection
of Macarthur boulevard and
Wilson lane. in Montgomery
County. a short distance beyond
Glen Echo.
The pilot project" occupies
about 81a acres, mainly along
Wilson lane. Construction of
the first houses was started in
March. last year. Twenty of
the houses are fully completed,
and four are under construc-
ton. The cooperative group

This cooperative, however,
probably would not benefit from
the pending legislation since
the average income of members
of Banockburn Co-operators,
Inc, the sponsor, is about
$4,000, whereas the middle-in-
come housing bill is designed to
benefit families having a lower
annual income.
James W. Pearson, executive
director of the Home Builders
Association of Metropolitan
Washington, cited the local

tention this week in an article

their proportionate share of the
added labor costs.
On the other hand, Mrs.
Herling explained, and con-
struction savings below the
quoted prices will be returned,
one-third to the builder and
two-thirds to the cooperative
and the purchasers.
Meanwhile, since Congress is
now considering a measure to

ing for middle income

THE cooperative apartment
plan has met with very limit
ed success in this country" Mr..
Pearson wrote. "Co-operative
projects of single-family, de-
tached homes are still in the
embryo state. 1t is possible
right now for families to band
together, buy land, hire a con-
tractor and have their homes
built to order. But is anybody
doing it? Four or five scattered
groups over the country.

were ordered in groups of one
Or two, rather than in a larger
group, which would have made
for greater economy"
The price of the houses in the
new group will range from S14,-
700 to $27, 800. The initial price
of the houses in the first group
ranged from $4,000 to $4,000.
Exact comparisons between
the prices of the first and Sec
ond groups cannot be made,

Mrs. Herling said, owing to lot
price variations, dlscontinuance
of one type of house, addition of
other types, variations in equip

models. and variations in road
and utility costs.
However, the higher prices
