FILM DEVELOPING Until recently the old;,adage the meat indnstry'sell it or smell it' held truer Fresh meat had to " be moved to: market and ,sold in a hurry to avoid spoilage, Then name vacuum packing* NOw meat , that n?.tight.once have deteriorated as early as 10 days after slaughtering can be preserved for up tQ21 days on supermarket shelves; at a temperature of approximately 34 degrees F. This increased shelf life is the result of the vacuum packaging , technique that seals meat cuts into a vacuum, and protects fi them, as bacterial and contaminating agents that would otherwise • spoil them•. The science of vacuum packaging began in 1957.58 w hen a United States organization studied -vacuum packing : in relation to meat storage, spoilage and coloring. The recommendations and developments of this study are still guiding principles of vacuum packaging. Today almost every meat packing plant in North America vacuum packages some of its products. • Meat is slaughtered, broken into primal cuts and trimmed of most one, gristle and fat, so that most of the final product is edible meat. The proportion of bone and fat removed depends upon the meat cut. A chuck roast cut off the front end, for example, will contain more bone than a round roast cut. The cuts are shipped to retail outlets in easy -to -handle containers. hints wsvg news releases, radio or TV flashes, or talks to community groups: BUY THE FRESHEST, GREENEST Christrhas tree you can obtain, and store it outdoors or in an unheated garage _ until you are "ready to decorate it. Then cut one or two inches diagonally from the butt before setting it up indoors in water. Replenish water regularly. Remember that if a tree has dried out beyond its moisture recovery limit, it will continue to dry out, even when standing in water. EVEN AT 'MAXIMUM MOISTURE CONTENT, a tree will burn if flame is applied all around the base. Keep discarded gift wrappings away from the base of the tree, and make the Christmas tree area a no -smoking zone. SHOPPING BLUES? Stop worrying about what to give that keeps on giving.

DOM, ter: example, Is used to m e, 'fertilizer compounds, of one meal for livestock.: Dr," it H, Usborne ' -Anlm Science Department, Univl 4f Guelph, says ; that vacuum pace reduces meat moisture loss:: caused by evaporation, improves. the palatability of: Meat, and allows normal aging to take place with minimtun shrinkage, Vacuum, - packaging also preserves meat color, thus keeping the product more attractive to consumers; Dr, Usborne adds that vacuum. packaging has the disadvantage of being a relatively expeive method of meat .i preservation. However, the reduced handling and .. - transportation.. casts_ .. resulting from vacuum packaging - offset this higher initial cost. ` "While the principles of ... vacuum packaging. have. remained, unchanged," says Dr,' Usborne, "this does not mean that research into vacuum • packaging has ceased." Research is under way to establish if vacuum packaged • meat can be stored at different temperatures and for different time periods without resultant spoilage. The 'possibilities of cooking or freezing meat in vacuum packages is being explored.. Technological improvements are being made and it is hoped hat the costs ' of vacuum packaging can be substantially reduced. Howto get along with your mother -in A good way to get along with your mother-in-law is to keep her at a proper distance.—And your mother-in-law will profit from that advice, too. So says Dr. Rebecca Liswood, physician, author and eminent marriage counselor. She recommends that when your mother-in-law comes to visit, put her up at a good hotel nearby. ' Dr. Liswood even suggests that your mother-in-law. not .;only foot the hotel bill herself; .but that she invite you out to dinner as well. These, she suggests, • are excellent ways to avoid family friction. If the visiting in-laws "stay in the home, they're bound to interfere with the privacy of the young people and disrupt their way of life." The mother-in-law, she notes, having raised her own children, riow feels capable of giving . the daughter-in-law plenty of 'advice on the subject. But the young wife, "having read Dr. Benjamin Spock, feels she knows so much more than her mother-in-law," and will often view any instruction = no matter _ how w ell -intended — as ., "interference" with her own modern ways and customs. Inviting the young couple out to dinner at some time during the visit is a thoughtful gesture, Dr. Liswood says, because it means less additional work for the.. daughter-in-law, and less extra, expense. for the , young people, "who are really almost putting up a struggle for existence." . To help maintain friendly and healthy family relationships, Dr. Liswood offers a few additional pointers for mothers-in-law. She advises theft to keep their tempers, avoid arguments and not expect expressions of gratitude. She explained that, young couples•"want to feel that whatever you've given them has -law been given with an open hand and , not with strings attached." They want ."to stand on their own two feet." Until they're able to achieve financial independence, "they'll take from you and maybe resent you while they're taking it." But if there is such resentment or ingratitude, she adds, it's important to overlook it. Looking at the possible .rnisunderstanding;_lletw .,= the generations, Dr. Liswood says of the older family members: "I can't blame the parents if they feel badly.'-' But, she adds,- "I wish they wouldn't, because they only • create unnecessary heartaches for themselves." Dr. Liswood, who is also adjunct professor at Adelphi University, is the ' -• author of "First Aid for the Happy • Marriage," and "A Marriage Doctor Speaks Fier Mind About Sex."
