and money In other rooms.
It would have been a simple
matter for the prowler, seen
first on the fourth floor, to have
entered Miss Taggart's room,
locked the door and proceeded
with his murderous business.
Police learned for the first
time that a man entered one of

two pillows under the body.
The duckpin, a green ribbon
around it and given to Miss Tag

the sport, was found on a book
stand at the head of the bed.
This was where the woman usu-
ally kept it.
There was blood on the duck
pin. Police found a thumbprint
on a chair. The little room (only
8 by 10 feet) was plainly fur
nished with bed, desk, chair and
chest of drawers. 1t was in dis

Ready Frozen Meals
Good In Emergency

If you are going to be away all
day, why not have on hand a few
meals ready to thaw, heat and cal?
asks Charlotte L. Swanson, Home
Demonstration Agent.
Of course, you won't want to
take up too much valuable freezer
space with ready-cooked meals, but
they do come in handy in an
emergency, points out Miss Swan
son.
Almost all cooked foods freeze
well. When enough food is left
over from a meal to serve one or
more persons, arrange it on metal
or heavy paper plates, cover snug
ly with foil, cellophane or plastic,
and freeze as soon as it's cold.
Date each plate so oldest ones will
be used first.
Good meals to freeze: Roast
pork and gravy, apple sauce, can
died sweet potatoes, spinach and
rolls; roast beef and gravy, French
fries, stringbeans, and biscuits.
Dessert of frozen fruit or baked
cake or pie is easy to freeze in
serving size packages.
One good way to package meals
is to cover a paper plate or piece
of heavy cardboard with aluminium
foil. Make divisions in the plate
by pressing foil into separate Sec
tions. Wrap bread separately be-
fore putting it on the plate. If
you use cardboard, allow enough
foil for fold to form edge to plate.
Wrap plate closely with foil, label
and freeze.
Meals can also be frozen in
square aluminium or metal contain
ers, separating each food with a
layer of foil or cellophane. This
method is best if the meals are to
be frozen at locker plant.
To service frozen meals simply
put the plate in hot oven (4500)
without thawing. Heat for Is to
80 minutes, depending on the
thickness of the package.
Copies of MC785, Freezing
Cooked Foods" are available from
