Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 7,1971 Ladies, Have You Heard? By Doris Thomas, Extension Home Economist When you shop for a new or replacement electrical appliance, consider the cordless models. The list of cord! pliances appearing on the market is constantly growing. The large array of cordless electrical pro ducts is powered either by disposable or re- chargeable batteries. One principle advantage of cordless pro ducts is their complete mobility no chord to set limits on where you can use the appliance. But safety is another important factor. Compared with the plug-in variety, cordless appliances re quire lower wattage, and they virtually eliminate electric shock hazard. This feature makes the ap- pliance safe to use in traditionally damp areas. v - Disadvantages of cordless appliances differ*,, according to the item.

This change in eat ing habits reflects the growth of the national school lunch program, the increasing num ber of cafeterias in factories and offices, improved vending machines, and conventional restaurants. Another thing is the pheno menal rise of the fast food take out establishments. Even su permarkets are getting into the act, as many food chains enter the franchise food operation to augment their growing in-store take-out service. Delicatessen departments are growing and the variety of ready-to-serve foods is increas ing. Barbecued ribs and chicken are commonplace in the food store. And now, new franchise operations are providing such foods as frozen prepared cas seroles, frozen pies that you heat and serve, and even ready to-eat dinners delivered to cus tomers. One thing affecting the kinds of food supermarkets will offer is the expected mass-marketing of microwave ovens. The micro wave oven is especially suited for heating frozen entrees in minutes. Meats, seafood dishes, fruits, vegetables, sauces, and pravies will be sold in indivi dual portions. Then, all the cook of the fu ture will have to do is count how many people are eating at home that night. In just minu tes she can put a dinner on the table to rival the most elaborate restaurant cuisine. It looks like the kitchen will no longer be a place to cook, but only a place for storing and heating food. Cordless Appliances Garber Oil Co. TEXACO HEATING OIL Burner Sales & Service MOUNT JOY, PA.
