FREEZING MEATS Meats are usually one of the main items preserved in home freezers. The main reasons are: freezing pre serves the natural, fresh qualities of meats better than any other method of preser vation, meats are easily prepared for freezing, money may be saved if meats are purchased in large quan tities. Start only with quality meat and package it in proper amounts to serve your family. You can save freezer space if you remove as many bones as possible before freezing. Recommended packaging materials are freezer paper, polyethylene bags, or aluminum foil. Clear food wraps or films should be used only when you use a second wrapping of foil or freezer paper because some films become brittle at low temperatures. No matter which packaging material you choose, force out all air possible and fasten the package so that it is airtight. If meat products are purchased in the grocery store, you should remember to follow several important steps: choose quality meat, do not allow meat to stand at room temperature, remove from store package and package in freezer ma terials, label and store at 0 degrees or lower tempera ture. The truthful man, if less loved, seeps well. THE JACKSON PROCRESS-ARCUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA JENKINSBURG CLUB ENTERTAINED BY MRS. THOS.
