In Hot Weather
A few days m the refrig

luncheon meats an off-flavor,
extension nutrition special
ists of the Pennsylvania State
University point out A spec
ial type of bacteria, psychro
phi ic, grows and multiplies
on luncheon mca s during
refrigerator storage
Although there bacteria
affect the flavor and odor of
foods, they are not harmful
to a person’s health Psych
rophihc bacteria thrive at
Ihe usual household refriger
ator temperatures of 40 de
grees, but they won’t grow at
temperatures be’ow freezing.
Before storing in the freez
er, wrap packages of lunch
eon meat so they are airtight
using a’umnium foil or other
freezer wrapping material.
Proper wrapping is essentia]
o keep the meat r rom dry
ing out even though it is
kept in the freezer for only
a few days When stored in
the freezer, luncheon meat
will be fresh tasting Take
out only what meat will be
used at one time—do not re
freeze once you’ve taken it

Bluegrass lawns should be

Frequent mowing helps
give a lawn a neat appear

third of the growth should
be removed at one cutting.
If your grass gets quite
