Week
“Don’t give fire a place to
start.”
That’s the theme of Spring
Clean-up Week, which is this
week, April 18-27. The theme
has a double objective, safety
and beautification.
Clean-up of rubbish, both in¬
side and out, attacks fires at
their breeding places. As with
disease and insect control, a
blitzkrieg on the places they
are most likely bo start, is the
best method of their preven¬
tion.
It’s no secret that old rags,
newspapers, magazines or for j
that matter, any kind of trash,
is a fire hazard. More than
that it’s unsightly, if not
—
downright ugly. of

PROPER WAY TO THAW AND
COOK FROZEN FOODS
Frozen foods can have the
color, texture and taste of fresh
food, but care must be used in
thawing and cooking them pro-
perly.
Frozen food is usually thaw-
ed in the original package oy
one of four methods: In the
refrigerator, at room tempera-
ture, in front of an electric fan
or as part of the cooking pro-
cess. The following hints for
better cooking cf frozen meats
vegetables and fruits will be
helpful.
MEATS: It is best to thaw
meats completely before cook-
ing — especially the larger,
thicker cuts--or the outside
will be overcooked before the
center is thawed. If meats must
be cooked without thoroughly
thawing them, the cooking pe-
riod must be lengtened and the

of the cooking period must be
low until thawing is complete,
VEGETABLES: These should
remain in the sealed container
and partially, thaw, or they
may be put into boiling salty
water in the frozen state and
allowed to thaw rapidly. Break
the solid mass immediately so
that cooking will be uniform,
Add only enough water to pre-
vent scorching. Cooking time
for frozen vegetables is from 10
to 25 percent less than for
fresh vegetables,
FRUITS: Frozen fruits re-
quire much more careful thaw-
in than that suggested for
vegetables. If they are com-
pletely thawed some are too
soft—unthawed they are too
hard. Frozen fruits are best
when the last traces of ice are
