BY ROSE MCKEE
Contributing Writer

Something of the efficiency
that usually is associated
with a business Office marks
the new energy-saving kitch-
en- at the United States
Agriculture Research Center
in nearby Beltsville. Md.
Lightweight pots and pans
piled helter-Skelter in un-
der-counter cabinets in many
a home-have a compare
lively glamorized storage
area. They are "filed"-not
stored-on a top shelf Of
an above-counter cabinet.
Grooves on the shelf make it
easy to slip a cake tin or a
mixing bowl into its own
particular place b tween
wooden partitions, where it is
filed on its edge or side.
The filing system is not
too unlike that used for
papers or other documents
in a business Office.
The kitchen, planned for
maximum convenience, is the
second built at the center.
Both were designed to save
energy for physically-handi-
capped homemakers but their
features appeal to the able
bodied as well.
Storage Space
Mrs. Genevieve Tayloe, a
housing specialist at the CEN
ter. said the big difference
between the new kitchen and
its predecessor. which is still
on display, is in storage
space.
In the first kitchen, staples
in daily use are stored on
revolving shelves in a circu-
lar corner cabinet. Mrs.
Tayloe said that many who
came to inspect the kitchen
with the idea of copying it
in their own home, found
that it would not be practical
to install the circular cab
inetS.
The supply cabinet in the
new kitchen has straight but
adjustable shelves, with dou-
Bile folding doors. Even the
top shelf on which the pots
and pans are filed is within
easy-reaching height.
Mr.. Tayloe said that all
the pots and pans on the
shelf are lightweight land
we never put anything that
is heavy on a top shelf-it
must be something you can
lift easily with one hand"
The storage cabinet has
two short and narrow shelves
in the center for spices and
flavorings. This built-in spice
cabinet is an attractive break
in what otherwise would be
straight shelf lines.
On Rollers
The kitchen is decorated
in gray and yellow with gold
as an accent hue. Canisters
for flour and sugar are in
gold and they have their own
platforms with rollers. Mrs.
Tayloe pointed out that a
large canister of flour can
"get to be quite heavy" if
lifted frequently by a phySi-
cally handicapped woman.
Cleaning supplies are
stored in a small square cab
met directly over the sink
and salad oils and vinegars
are kept in an adjacent twin
cabinet - near where salad
greens would be washed and
prepared.
A third energy saving
kitchen is still in the test

HaIferty Canneries Acquired By APA; McConaghy & Valentine To Continue

Announcement was made Thurs day by Halferty Canneries that Alaska Packers Association has ac- ouired the company's Kodiak and Cordova canneries.
 A feature of the transaction provides that the Halferty Com pany continue to carry on the operations at both plants for the 1859 season. The actual transfer of the properties, incident to each cannery, is scheduled to take place in September.
 Frank McConaghy, vice presi- dent of Halfertys, and a long time superintendent of operations fer the company, will continue in an advisory capacity, at least for this year, and will assist in the plant transition to the new owners. Del Valentine, bookkeeper for the com, pany for many years, and this year superintendent of the Kodiak operation, will also continue with the new company, as will Verne Paulson, superintendent at Cor dova.
