B26—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 7,1982 Ida’s Notebook Ida Rissar During our vacation, we had a relaxing day at a pnvate camping club near Seattle with our grandson and his parents. He thoroughly enjoyed the pool and so did I. In the afternoon, I tried my hand at pitching horse shoes but 40 feet was too far for me to throw the heavy things. While in Seattle we saw the ships and boats go through the locks from Puget Sound and also enjoyed watching the salmon jump up the fish ladder. We topped off a day that started with church services by taking a ferry boat ride to Windslow on Bainbridge Island and eating a meal at a fancy restaurant. On our way down the West Coast we took time to walk on the beach and collect driftwood and sand dollars. The Pacific Ocean seemed more calm to me than the Atlantic Ocean. In California we took an hour to walk through the Redwood National Park. The trees in “Lady Bird Johnson Grove” are naturally huge and awesome. We took a Keep potatoes cold LANCASTER - Don’t boil or bake potatoes and leave them at room temperature for any length of time while you get around to makihg that potato soup for dinner or salad for tomorrow’s picnic. Keep the potatoes hot (140 degrees F or above) or cold (45 degrees F or below) until you’re ready to prepare your recipe. Potato salad has been implicated in three outbreaks, or 47 cases, of type A botulism in the United States since 1967. Analysis by the Food and Drug Administration, at the time of an early outbreak, showed type A and type B Clostridium botulinum spores of samples of raw potatoes obtained Comfortable protection.

In a later article I’ll explain more about these magnificent monarchs of the forest. Many of our vacation days have been rather tiring as we have so many miles to cover. Sometimes we travel for days across the dry barren lands of Nevada and Colorado. For miles on end we traveled across the Salt Flats of Utah. We saw no living animals nor any buildings. The vastness of America is truly amazing. Sometimes we climbed high mountains sprinkled with fir trees and other times there were only rocky cliffs with snow on the peaks. The area in which we drove was only farmed in a few low spots where a river wound through the rocks. At a height of 6,000 feet we saw men baling hay in a snow flurry in July. Now wouldn’t that be something for Lancaster County! from the stock of one of the restaurants involved in the out breaks. Because of this finding, researchers conducted various laboratory studies to determine how potato salad could become a vehicle for botulism. Results showed that potatoes inoculated with C. botulinum spores contain toxin when held at room tem perature for some time following baking or boiling. So, if you plan to use up those leftover potatoes or get the yen to cook a batch ahead to save time, go ahead. But keep those cooked potatoes refrigerated until you’re ready to use them.

PA - PHONE 21S-683-7656 WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Department of Agriculture soon will begin a demonstration project in 97 school districts in 29 states to test alternatives to providing donated agricultural commodities to the national school lunch program. Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Mary Jarratt said last week. One alternative will be to provide cash payments instead of commodities. USDA will provide school food authorities in 34 school districts with cash equal to the value of the commodities they would be entitled to under the present commodity donation program. The value of the com modities is 11.5 cents per meal. Under another part of the test, USDA will give 31 participating school districts letters of credit allowing them to purchase specific food items from local sources. Jarratt said 32 other school districts have been selected as control sites and will continue to operate under current regulations of the commodity donation program. The study will examine the cost effectiveness of the two alternatives, their impact- on school food procurement pat terns, their effects on school lunch Toes?
