Although she modestly
takes little credit, Verna’s
enthusiasm and hard work
are a large part of the
success of the Re-Uzit Shop.
‘We’ve come a long way in
getting organized since
July,” she says. Now
committee members take
charge of different depart
ments within the store,
freeing Verna of much
responsibility. The executive
committee consists of Mrs.
Mildred Steffy, East
Petersburg, president, who
also helped organize a
similar shop in New
Holland; Mrs. Blanche
Hershey, vice-president and
volunteer coordinator; Mrs.
Raymond Charles,
secretary; and Ruth Shenk,
treasurer.
The Re-Uzit Shop is a
community effort - from the
donors, to the volunteers to
the patrons. Donations are
welcomed from anyone and
can be dropped off at the
store during business hours.
With Winter weather here
and the holidays coming up
perhaps the Re-Uzit Shop
has somemg to offer your

ABOUT ENERGY SAVING
IN THE LAUNDRY
AND IN THE
KITCHEN
Prevention is always
easier than the cure. If you
buy your laundry and kit
chen appliances wisely you
can ward-off some of the
energy problems.
What to look for ? A new
washing machine uses 32-45
gallons of water per 10ad...
. some models use less
water. Some models have a
“float fill” that provides a
more accurate control of the
amount of water used than
“time” fill. Water level
controls are useful to adjust
the water to the type of load
you are washing. Some
models offer “suds saver”
that saves wash .water for
later loads. YoU might
consider avoiding new
clothes purchases if the
clothing requires special
washing and handling.
Plan your menu and your
meal . . . and also the way
you’ll serve it. Cut down on
the number of utensils used
in preparing f00d... and on
the plates and glassware
used with the meal to save on
dishwashing.
Do small kitchen jobs as
they occur to prevent larger
jobs - for example, wipe-up
small spills immediately to
avoid frequent mopping of
floors. Vacuum carpets and
rugs so you won’t need to
shampoo them too often.
Take care to clean spots
when they happen.
To get warm water (for
food preparation) turn hot
water on first; then add cold

water as needed. You get
warm water more quickly
this way and save on water.
Cook foods over low heat in
pans with tightly fitted lids
to reduce evaporation of
liquid.
You can reduce the use of
your garage disposal (which
uses two gallons of water per
minute). One way may be to
peel vegetables, eggs and
other foods on newspapers
wrap and dispose. Better
yet-make a compost pile.
Even little ideas can save!
PLASTIC WRAP AND
MICRO-WAVE..
THE PERFECT PAIR!
Microwave ovens, in
widespread use for about 10
years, are becoming the
fastest selling cooking ap
pliance in the nation.
Because of the speed and
convenience achieved with
microwave ovens, cooking
habits are also changing.
Favorite family meals can
be prepared in much less
time and thawing of frozen
food is almost in
stantaneous. Owners all
over the country are anxious
for additional information
and help in ways to use their
microwave ovens more
effectively.
One favorite kitchen item,
plastic wrap, long in use for
wrapping and covering food
for storage, is a natural
companion to microwave
cooking. All manufacturers
of microwave ovens give
specific instructions on
techniques to follow when
covering good for
microwaving. Covering is
necessary when cooking
vegetables, dried foods,
some meats and reheating
other foods which need
steam in order to cook or
heat properly.
Because plastic wrap
comes in a roll, it can be
easily tom and shaped as a
cover to fit any type or shape
cooking container, even
those odd or unusual shaped
ones. It allows the
microwave energy to pass
through to the food, and is
resistant to the heat from the
%Js^'
microwaved food. It expands
to allow for the development
of steam within the con
tainer.
These are some tips to
follow when using a clear
wrap as a cover for
microwaving food. Place the
wrapping material loosely
over the food and press it
lightly down the side of the
container. Allow some
looseness so that venting can
take place. Some microwave
oven manufacturers
recommend folding a comer
back to create a small hole
for steam to escape. It
should go just down the sides
of the container. NOT un
derneath the bottom. This
placement is necessary for
expansion of steam around
the food. After microwaving
use a fork to lift the cover...
simply pick up the comer of
a side away from you and lift
to release steam.
Remember to store cooked
food in a container that can
go into the microwave oven
for heatmg later. The same
plastic wrap cover works in
the refrigerator and in the
microwave oven.
When steaming fresh
whole vegetables like zuc
chini, Summer squash, and
com on the cob wrap each
item individually in plastic
wrap. Season and butter
each item and you’ll enjoy
one of the best tasting eating
delights ever. These in
dividual cooking containers
keep the food hot longer
because of the tight seal ...
and there are no dishes to
wash.
