They're really cherries that Leslie Yates and
son Oren are picking here on their Milard
Virginia, farm-but once they get into the
Yates home freezer they'll be, as Mr. Yates
says, "as important as money in the bank"
''Our freezer not only gives us good food
the year round" the well known Dickinson
County farmer explains, ''but also saves us
the bother time, and expense of driving to
town to buy food"
That's big saving right there, because be-
fore the Yates bought their 18-foot freezer
year ago last May, they had to travel at
least nine miles for fresh foods. Now they
have plenty on hand always. They buy foods
at low Sin season" prices and enjoy them
any time at all.
Daughter Glenna Yates says the freezer's
a big help when unexpected guests drop in:
"We're never caught unprepared."
Mrs Yates adds, Freezing is far simpler
than canning. Besides our family thinks
frozen foods taste better than canned"
Most of what the Yates freeze is home,
grown. Some of the cherries young Oren'
picks may never see the freezer -. but that's
all right. The freezer. is saving the Yates
plenty just the same.y
