TQke Freezer
Inventory Now

With home freezing activi-
ties in full swing. it is a good
idea to double-check the far
corners of the freezer in search
OF packages that may have
been put away last year and
forgotten. Uncooked foods
that are reaching their time
limit in the freezer should be
put to immediate use if the
economy of home freezing is to
be maintained. If it is not
practical to serve them to your
family before their freezing
time limit expires, there is
another way to make use of
uncooked vegetables, meats.
berries, and fruits.
Provided the foods have
been frozen, uncooked, they
can be thawed, cooked and re-
frozen. Home economists adj
wise that the rule about re-
freezing thawed foods does not
apply to those which are taken
from the freezer, raw, and then
cooked and cooled, ready to
freeze again Immediately.
Should a search Of the
freezer yield quart or two Of
uncooked vegetables and some
raw lamb or beef chunks, a
tasty casserole dish can be con-
cocted. cooked and frozen in
Vapocans, square, waxed-board
containers with rigid plastic
lids. Casseroles and stews keep
in the freezer up to one month.
Raw chicken or other poul-
try that has outlived its right
full stay in the freezer may be
thawed and cooked, then sliced
and put into moisture proof.
waxed : board containers and
then frozen. A quart or two of
sliced meat comes in handy for
unexpected guests, and can be
stored at zero temperature for
around six weeks.
Uncooked frozen fruits and
berries can be put to uses that
are bound TO draw cheers from
the family. Strawberries, black
berries and raspberries make
delicious Jam, some to eat i'm
mediately and some to package
in Vapocans and frozen for
later enjoyment. Pie, one Of
the fastest moving commodi-
ties in most households. can be
made from unlocked frozen
fruits and berries. too. And al
though the family might be
willing TO polish of two or
three pies at one sitting, a
smart planner viii put a couple
in the freezer.

Pqckoging Food
For Freezer

For the best results with a
home freezer only good quality
food should be used. Freezing
does not improve the quality of
food. There is little or no prep
aration of the food for the
freezer. but the correct pack
aging is highly important.
Package material:
l. 1t is necessary to select
materials that are moisture
vapor proof in order to insure
that the food will not dry out,
lose flavor and color. Suitable
materials can be made of cello
phane mot ordinary gift wrap
ping type), pliofilm plastic
paper, some So-called locker
papers, which are Illuminated,
and also some metal foilS. Buy
the paper from a reliable man.
ufacturer and make certain
that it is labeled moisture
vapor proof. Ordinary wax
paper, gift wrap cellophane,
butcher paper and many
brands Of locker paper are not
suitable.
2. A protective covering must
be provided to protect the thin
moisture vapor proof paper
from damage, and also to hold
the paper near the food to in
sure exclusion of air. For
fruits and vegetables, etc., this
protection can be boxes, while
for meats, bakery products,
ETC., it can be stockinette "a
mesh-like bag) or cheese cloth,
or any heavy paper.
3. Glass freezer jars may be
used, but always leave l inch
TO "a inch head-space.
How to wrap packages for
freezing:
Use the drugstore" wrap.
Fold edges of paper over sew
eral times in lock-seal wrap.
This follower method expels
the air and holds the wrapping
tightly in place. Fold over the
ends as you would in wrapping
a package. Heat seal the ends
or secure with special sealing
tape designed for freezing and
use outer wrapping OF stock
lnette. Insert label under the
Stockinette and tie ends of
Stockinette. Remember proper
packaging is important.
Sealing packages:
/. Cellophane can be heat
sealed by using a hand-electric
iron, curling iron or special
sealing iron. The temperature
control of the iron should be set
at a low heat.
?. Pliofilm can be heat
sealed, but a piece of wrapping
paper should be used between
the pliof1lm and the iron sur
face.
3. When wrapping paper is
used as a protective cover it
may be tied with string.
Label completely:
All food should be labeled,
either with a china marking
pencil or waterproof ink. Write
on the outside of the carton
the name of the food. date
frozen, how sweetened (if
fruit. intended use and num-
Der of servings.

A neat little plastic cap that
snaps snugly over the top of a
can of frozen lemon juice is
the latest gimmick to come
from the Minute Maid Corp.
The company plans to at
tach these little lids to all cans
of frozen lemon juice sold
within the next couple of
weeks. The cap, made to with
stand extreme heat. seals the
partially used can of juice
neatly and securely. While de-
signed primarily for lemon
juice, the cap also fits the
company's orange juice in case
you have occasion to use only
part of a can.

trek to Mexico this summer
and would appreciate it so
very much if those of you who
have visited our southern
neighbor in the last two years
could give me both advice and
information.
I plan to drive the entire
trip, taking my mother and
father, l7-year-old son and g.
year-old daughter. Although I
have travelled in Europe and
all through the West Indies,
I have always gone alone. Do
you feel that this trip would
be difficult for my 66-year-old
parents? This will be their
first foreign country" trip
and I want it to be as near
perfect as possible. They are
both good sports but their
first question was What shots
should we take and what
about the intestinal bugs we
hear about?"
Do any of you know any,
thing about renting small
apartment tor do they have
motels> in the vicinity of Mex
leo City? 1t might be worth
while for five or six weeks.
Can you help in this?
There are so many questions
I'd like to ask, but perhaps you
can get me started off by sug-
gesting the best guide books
there are many books on Mex
leo but none seems to be re-
cent. I always study" for
months before taking a trip
what helped YOU? I'll be watt
ing eagerly for replies. And re-
