Update On Nutritional
Labeling
If you're an avid food label
reader you'll note that the
nutrition standard has been
changed from MDR
(Minimum Daily
Requirement) to U.S. RDA
(U.S. Recommended Daily
Allowance).
After July 1,1975, the MDR
will no longer appear on food
labels. The U.S. RDA is the
standard established by the
Food and Drug Ad
ministration, especially for

Microwave Oven Tips
Because microwave
cooking differs so much from
conventional cooking, it’s
important to understand the
principle of microwave
cooking and follow
manufacturer’s directions to
get the desired results.
The manufacturer’s
manual, important for any
appliance or piece of
equipment, is especially
important for microwave
cooking. Each make and
model of microwave oven on
the market may require
slightly different timing and
operation and have different
features such as browning
trays or dishes, revolving
carrousel trays or controls
that permit slower speeds
for defrosting or for doing
slower cooking.
Try a few recipes from the
instruction book first. As you
gain confidence and find how
to use your appliance, you’ll
want to prepare some of your
own family favorites. To
determine the right cooking
time, check the instruction
book for the timing
suggested for a similar food
of about the same quantity.
Use this as guide for your
timing.
Tuning is the most im
portant factor when cooking
with microwave energy. You
will find that it’s best to
undercook. Use the shortest
recommended time. If the

If you neglected to do so last

Begin by washing the
mower with kerosene or fuel
oil to remove any dirt,
grease, oil or clippings that
may have accumulated
during last season. Drain the
gas tank and carburetor and
refill them with alcohol,
soaking them long enough to
dissolve any gum that may
have formed over the winter.
Next, remove the jir
cleaner and clean it ac
cording to manufacturer's
instructions. Drain dirty oil
from the crankcase and
replace it with freash oil of
the proper weight.
Remove and clean or
replace the spark plug and
pour a small amount of
gasoline in the tank. Start
the engine and let it run until

the fuel is used. Now
lubricate wheel bearings and
moving parts.
Finally, check the blade
with the spark plug wire
disconnected and sharpen or
replace it if necessary. If you
sharpen the blade, take care
not to sharpen it out of
balance. Finish the job by
lightly coating the blade with
oil to prevent rust. It is best
to replace the bolt that holds
the blade on the mower for
saftey’s sake as these bolts
become weakened, par*
ticularly if they’ve been
banged with a hammer.
Simple care and main
tenance of your mower now
can save a great deal of time
and effort in the months
ahead.
