ABOUT EASY SEWING
When you don’t want to
spend much tune at your
sewing machine but need to
add a garment to your
wardrobe, look for patterns
that use few pieces and have
instructions for simple,
speedy sewing.
Every major pattern
company has developed
some helps to make sewing
fast and easy.
“Super Jiffy” patterns are
the quickest you’ll find, with
just one mam pattern piece
plus facings. Other quick-to
sew patterns are marked
“Super Simple,” “Quick and
Easy,” “Make-It-Tomght
Knits”, “Make it Easy
Please,” “Sew and Go,”

“Easy Fashions,” “Very
Easy,” “Yes, I Can,” and
“E.S.P.” These patterns
have two to six mam pieces
plus facings.
A few of the fast sewing
techniques you’ll find in
these special patterns are—
elastic casing waistlines
rather than zipper and
straight waist-band and edge
brushes made by simply
turning under seam
allowance and top stitching.
You can sew many new
clothes and still have plenty
of time for other activities if
you take advantage of the
quick patterns available.
FOOD PRESERVATIVES
The American diet of the
1980’s would be greatly
m
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 3,1980—C5
altered if we did not have the
use of preservatives. Our
bread would turn stale after
a few days, our vegetable oil
rancid and our hot dogs a
greyish color without the use
of preservatives.
Preservatives help
prevent the deterioration of
color, flavor, freshness and
nutrient content in loads.
They are also added to food
to inhibit or prevent
microbial'growth. Molds can
be a serious problem
because they may produce
toxins while bacterial
growth can cause food
poisoning.
Preservation techniques
have been used for more
than a century. A common
preservative is salt, used for
years to preserve meat
without cooking.
By retarding the spoilage
of food, preservatives also
help us prevent waste and
supply shortages. The World
Health Organization
estimates that about 20
percent of the world’s food is
lost in this way. A much
higher percentage is lost in
some countries.
It is true that the physical
and biological processing of
food, such as heating,
drying, pickling and
%
smoking, contribute to the
preservation of some sub
stances. However, these
processes often achieve only
partial preservation.
Preservatives occur either
naturally or synthetically.
Some foods known to contain
naturally occurring
preservatives are cran
berries, some fermented
cheese, egg whites, milk,
honey, horseradish, spices,
essential oils, cabbage,
garlic, onions, radishes,
sweet potatoes, tomatoes,
bananas, strawberries and
cereals, (rye, wheat, wheat
bran, corn and barley).
These foods contain what
are known as antibiotic and
antifungal agents. Another
type of preservative is the
antioxidant. Some an
tioxidants occur naturally,
such as a form of vitamin C,
called ascorbic acid.
Other naturally occumng
antioxidants include
tocopherols (from vitamin
E), gum guaiac (a wood
resin), quercetin (from
onions), rutin (from
asparagus) and anthocyamn
pigments (from red wine).
These all have ominous
sounding names but actually
occur in nature.
Synthetic or chemical
antioxidants are commonly
used because of ef
fectiveness, cost and
availability. The three
major ones are prophyl
gallate (PG), butylated
hydroxyamsole (BHA) and
butylated hydroxytoluene
(BHT).
Two other well known
chemical preservatives are
nitrates and nitrites,
although they do occur
naturally in some foods.
Synthetic preservatives
have come under increasing
attack m the past several
years. Laboratory studies of
their effects on the health of
rats have been conducted for
many years in several
countries, with a variety of
findings. Some researchers
report findings that these
preservatives may cause
cancer, others that they may
actually lengthen life
through age prevention.
At this point in time it is
perhaps best for each person
to determine individually
which preservative he or she
will or will not consume.
