Proposed Budget
Far Exceeds Georgia
Tax Collections
Atlanta (GPS) — What will the
state government's financial situation
be during the next two years? Nobody
actually knows at this stage—not even
the fiscal experts.
But State Budget Director Ernest
Davis may have thrown some light on
ihe subject the other day when he
disclosed that present budget requests
by various state departments and
agencies—if granted—would put state
spending for the next fiscal year some
S6O-million above the current (1962-
63) budget which amounts to $449-
million, |
Director Davis, who is preparing a
two-year budget for Gov.-elect Carl
E. Sanders and the Legislature,
wouldn't spectulate on what future in
come might be, or what might be done
if it isn't enough. However, State Rev
enue Commissioner Dixon Oxford is of
the opinion that revenue for the fiscal
year ending next June 30 will be be
tween S2O-million and $25-million a
bove the s4o6.million collected in the
last fiscal year.
Sanders has said repeatedly ihat he
will not raise taxes during his first
year in office and he is hopeful that
it will not become necessary during
his fouryear term. The incoming “BOV~
ernor is banking heavily on improved
business conditions and tighter tax
colleciing under his admisintration.
Meanwhile, the Legislature, which
convenes January 14, will be taking
a close look at the proposed budget.

IF YOU KEEP FOOD
. —KEEP IT COOL
‘{ With the cooling off of the Cuban
rcrisis and with Christmas only a few
'weeks away, perhaps you've decided
|you can't spare the extra money an
!emergency food supply would cost
|just now. But whether you have a lot
or a little food rtored—in a fallout
lshelter or in kitchen cabinets-—keep
ing cool is mighty important to its
| useful life.
Research recently completed at the
Georgia Experiment Station near
Griffin shows that the storage life of
processed foods can be doubled or
tripled by storing it in the coolest
places within the home,
Food Technologists S. R. Cecil and
| J. G. Woodroof kept 50 representative
types of processed foods—canned
' fruits, wvegetables, fish and meats,
peanut buiter and preserves—in stor
age for periods up to seven years. Stor
age temperatures ranged from 100 de
grees Fahrenheit to 20 below zero.
Examination after storage indicated a
direct relationship between siorage
temperature and loss of colors, flavors,
textures and vitamins by all these
foods. Losses of these qualities in
creased with the time of storage at
each temperature.
This research emphasized that ap
searance and tadte are poor indica
tors of the quality of stored foods.
Practically all canned frui s, vege
‘ables and meats looked and tasted
good after six months of storage at
100 and after two years at 70 degrees.

But the nutritive values of these foods
decreased much more rapidly than
did the eating qualities.
Canned peaches, tomatoes and other
acid foods lost Vitamin C twice as
fast at 100 as at 70 and six times as
fast at 100 as at 32 degrees.
Canned ham, pork and gravy, pork
and beans, fortified chocolate and ce
real products decreasd in witamin B,
by one-half within one year at 100
and by onethird within three years at
70 degrees.
The freezing of canned fruits and
vegetables proved to be poor practice.
While freezing preserved the flavors,
colors and nutritional qualities of most
vegetables and fruits, it lowered their
texture. On the other hand, freezing
had little effect on texture of canned
fish and meats, peanut butter and
preserves, ’
Keeping foods not sealed in glass
or metal containers at 48 degrees pro- |
tected them against insect damage, al-‘
though weevils and other insecis were
not killed at temperatures above‘
freezing. ‘
