“This is an important feature of the

Grady county motorists in helping us
to make the Georgia traffic picture as

all, is designed to help the users of
Georgia roads.”
“Blanket count” operations will be
carried on at a total of 14,000 inter
sections in the state, and between 60
and 80 of 1 these points will be located
in Grady county. The survey calls for
one eight-hour count, from 8 o’clock
in the morning until 4 o’clock in the
afternoon, at each of the Grady inter
sections selected. With traffic being
recorded and drivers being interview

NOTES
By Miss Dorris Nichols, Co.
Home Demonstration Agent.
STORING HOME-CURED
, HAMS.
The most desirable method of stor
ing smoked hams at ordinary air tem
peratures is to wrap them in parch
ment paper and them in flyproof mus
lin bags. This method prevented in
festation from skippers and exclud
ed rancidity in the fat, in a 3-year
test made by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture’s. Bureau of Animal In
dustry. Painting the ham bag with a
yellow wash and then hanging in a
storeroom also prevents infestation
from skippers.
Some of the other methods of
storing that were tried gave the fol
lowing results:
Hams coated With a mixture of
pepper and molasses were considered
to be sweeter and to have a more
pungent flavor than others, but there
was some loss from skippers*.
Hams buried in crushed rock salt,
in wood ashes, and in oats became
musty and undesirable, The meat
buried in crushed rock salt absorbed
too much salt during storage and the
lean portion became undesirably dry
and tough.
Hams unwrapped in a dark, im
perfectly ventilated home-made meat
curing box aged as satisfactorily as
those hung in the open storeroom. No
skippers gained entrance to this box
although they might have done so
any time the lid was raised.
Hams made airtight by the use of
heavy coatings of paraffin or stored
in rubber bags spoiled. Most of this
spoilage was on the surface, but the
meat was considered unfit for use.
Mold developed on all the hams
regardless of the method of storage.
During damp weather the groWthwas
extensile, and during dry periods
much of it disappeared. The least
mold was found on the unprotected
hams hung before an open window
where the air circulation was great
est. Mold did not damage the flavor
any of the hams except those that
buried in ashes, salt, or oats. In
those cases a musty, moldy flavor
permeated the entire ham.
All the hams in these tests were
carcasses that had been been
chilled after slaughter. The
dry-curing mixture consisted of 8
pounds of salt, 2' pounds, of brown
sugar, and 4 ounces of "salt-peter for
each 100 pounds of meat. The meat
Was cured at a temperature of about
38 degrees F. and 3 day’s curing
time was allowed for each pound of
weight of the average ham. The cur
ed hams were washed, dried over
night, then smoked for 3 days at a
temperature not exceeding HO de
gree® F. No smoked meat was wrap
ped or packed until it had cooled to
air temperature after removal from
the smokehouse. The mean storage
temperature ranged between 46 de
grees F. in February to 78 degrees F.
in July and August. The mean hu
midity ranged between 36 and 95
per cent.

Covered Meats Are Not
Necessary in Cold Wall
Frigidaires For
For many decades housewives
known that unless they cover the
cooked meat they place in their
erators, either with wax paper or
dish, discoloration Will set in
a short time and the particular cut
beef or pork loses its appearance
freshness.
This fact was pointed out this week
by A. C. Roddenbery, of the Rodden
bery Hardware Company, local -Frigid
aire, dealers, as he explained the new
features of the Frigidaire Cold Wall
models now on exhibit.
“Because of this fact,” he said,
“this is one reason why some women
often keep these types of meats in the
original wrappers that come from the
butgher, although it is not considered
the best practice.” Mr. Roddenbery
ten explained as follows, some of the
new features of the Frigidaire Cold
Wall:
For the past several years, scient
ists and electric refrigeration engi
neers have been working on the prob
lem of overcoming this condition.
With this thought in mond, a con
tainer known as a meat-tender has
been devised by Frigidaire engineers,
a feature which is incorporated in
their Master and Cold Wall series of
1939 refrigerators. It consists of a
special compartment, located conven
iently under the freezer unit, intended
primarily for meat storage. It is de
signed to perform t\yo important
functions in connection with meat stor
age. First, air circulation is control
led, and second, all exterior surfaces
of the -meat are exposed to such con
trolled circulation of air.
In order that the meats do not rest
on the bottom of the container, a spe
cial bar rack has beem provided which
alloWs the controlled circulation of air
to surround the meat completely. Spe
cial vents in the side of the container
permit the proper circulation. Thus,
prevention of excessive drying or ex
cessive sweating of meat is provided
by such a control of air circulation.
When the heat-tender is not requir
ed for the storage of meat, it may be
used to hold an extra supply of ice
cubes, frozen foods and other arUcles
requiring extra cold temperatures.
•Food savings through the preven
tion of food spoilage, though amount
ing to only a few pennies a day, may
total up several dollars before the end
of the month.
