London's Red Raiders won their
second straight Mid-Six League

defeating Grove City, 1873, be-
hind the three-hit pitching of
Jack Shoaf.
The victory over Grove City
completed London's season with
an 80 record. Grove City would
have shared q tie by beating
London, but as a result of the
Greyhounds loss, dropped to third
place in the final standing. Wor-
thington was second with a 7-3
record.
Shoaf, in addition to handcuf-
fling the Grove City batters,
spanked the London IA hit attack

the plate. He also retired five
batters on strikes while he and
his mates raped Dick Sheets for
a single run in the first inning.
Shoaf scored on Davidson's
double.
London scored six runs in each

and Simth had two hits apiece.
Grove City scored their two
runs in the fifth INNING on two
singles, a walk and an error.

Prepackaging Boon
To Busy Housewives

Menu minute-savers take on q
new importance when women hold
full-time jobs outside the home
And a recent Department of Labor
bulletin reports that half the work
ing women in the United States
are married. Other homemakers
are demanding free time for gar
dening, community activities, or
just playing with the children.
A new industry may have the
answer to this time and work saw
Ing problem. It's prepackaging of
perishables, a simple idea that
pays off in fresher products and
more leisure hours for homemak-
ers.
Mrs. Consumer herself first gave
the nod to prepackaged perish
ables, says Jean Allen, home eco
nomist for the Kroger Food Foun-
dation which is making continu-
ing study of the question.
Reasons for preferring prepack-
aged products vary from "conven-
ience" (they praise the heavenly
freedom of clean, trimmed pro-
ducts); to cost" (they like to pay
for what is actually usedD; to
quality" (they believe prepackag-
ing puts the responsibility for high
quality merchandise more directly
on the mePchant).
Here's one example of what the
prepackaging revolution has ac-
complished:
When Grandma was a girl,
chicken every Sunday was full
time job. The flapping, cackling
chicken, bought ION the hoof," had
to be beheaded, de-feathered, sing
ed, eviscerated, and finally cut in
to frying-pan-size pieces.
BY the time Mama was a bride,
chickens were being sold New
York" observation-disclosures but
not dressed. Homemakers still
found that the quality and fresh
ness of chicken prepared this way
left something to be desired.
The poultry industry rose to the
challenge.
Today's homemaker. as result
can buy prepackaged, pan-ready
chicken of uniform quality, pro-
tected by semi-moisture proof
wrapping material. Shopping time
has been cut in half; cleaning time
eliminated.
Do they really like it? The ans
wer is rousing yes" according
to Miss Allen, who points out that
poultry sales of her company have
risen approximately $50 per cent
during the past five years.
Latest to feel the effect of pre-
packaging has been the produce
department-fresh fruits and veg
etables. Miss Allen cites carrots
as an example of how homemak-
ers benefit from prepackaging OF
produce.
Until recently. carrots could be
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1953-07-28

bought only by the bunch Bulky
tops drew moisture and food value
from the carrots. But the custom
ers' votes today are going to car
rots packaged in pliofilm bags,
with tops removed. Prices are
about the same, but homemakers
find they have a better, fresher
product, more easily stored.
In another field, self-service pre-
packaged meats, once a novelty,
are now standard in modern food
markets. But homemakers some
times overlook one of the most
"time-saving" features of prepack-
aged meats, Miss Allen says.
She points out that prepackaged
fresh meat and poultry need not
be unwrapped when it is put into
the refrigerator. As a matter of
fact, she explains, cellophane-
wrapped meats will not dry out as
quickly as they will If the wrap
ping is removed.
However, she warns, III meat is
to be kept in the home freezer for
several months, it should be over
wrapped with moisture-vapor-proof
paper.
Fresh meats may be kept wrap
ped in the refrigerator for about
three days before cooking. Ground
beef and variety meats such as
liver and heart should be used
within "a hours or frozen if kept
longer, according to Miss Allen.

Care Prevents
BreakdOwns In Electric
Water Systems

Now that warm weather, the
season Of heavy water use, is here,
Bill Tarbell, Kent County Agent,
urges farmers to give their cleo
trio water systems good care Care
will forestall many a hOt-weather
breakdown.
Bill lists six items which should
be checked Oh adjusted at regular
intervals on most electric water
systems to keep them working
smoothly and avoid breakdown. If
directions from the manufacturer
are not Obtainable, and the owner
does not know how to check these
things himself, it will pay to call
in a reliable servicemap:
/. LubriCating the motor and
pump Frequency and the amount
Of oil to be used vary widely, de-
pending on the type and make Of
motor and pump Too much oil
can be as dangerous as under0iling.
2. Stuhing-bOx adjustments.-All
pumps except those with rotary
seals are equipped with a stufing
box. If the packing in the stuffing
bsx. is too tight It will cause the
pump to run hard. If it is too loose
it will cause excessive leakage. The
cap on the end Of the stuffing box
is an adjustment for tightening the
packing. When it is properly ad-
iusted, few drops of water 9
minute will leak through it t.
lubricate the packing.
3. Checking the safety pressure
releases.-It is good practice t
remove and clean the safety pres
sure release once a year. Thii
mechanism prevents the building
up Of dangerous pressures in thu
water tank If the automatic sWitcl
should become faulty.
4. Belt tensiOn.-On a puml
driven by a V-belt, improper bel
tension will cause the belt to sliI
on put excessive strain on tn
bearings. Correct tension is abou
the same as that for fan bel
on an automobile
5. Air-vOlume cOntrOl.-TOO muc
air In the pressure tank cause
water to "spit" vigorously froI
faucets. Too little air causes tn
pump to stop and start too FIRE
quently.
s. Cleaning the motor.-To wor
right, motors must be clean, dr.,
properly lubrieated, and fed ele'
tricity through good wiring. 4
least once a year, dirt should }
wiped from the outside of I'll
motor and all ventilation opening
cleaned out. Some motors may nee
to be disassembled and intern'
parts cleaned.
Mr. Tarbell also points out th'
most electric water systems
general use were not built to will
stand constant exposure to Outsi'
weather. Rain, wind, fTeeziI
temperatures, and sunshine vi
cause damage and hasten d
teriOratiOn. A Well-built pumphou
will repay its cost in increas
