pay their property taxes, Or rent.
.In all, more than 230,000,persons across Ontario will receive

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.

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.

Meat, and allows normal aging to

also preserves meat color, thus

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."
