World's fair is television, which took
its bow with a telecast at the inaug-
ural ceremonies.
Unlike Britain's garret inven-
tor, John Logie Baird, Allen B.
Du Mont, putting his by-line on
the new television set, came
along through the “channels” in
which promising young techni-
cians are grooved these days.
Out of Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute in 1923, he was em-
ployed as a tube engineer with
the Westinghouse company in
Bloomfield, N. J., until 1937,
when he became chief engineer
of the De Forest Radio compa-
ny. But, when he caught the
television germ, he did just what
Baird did, the only difference be-
ing that he holed up in a cellar
instead of an attic. \

has been done for a single
and at its best until it reaches
the home.
At this point the responsibility
shifts to the homemaker. And if
she falls down on her job, then all

from spoilage have been in vain,

Home Care of Foods
Both requirements are met by
a good household refrigerator:
and the homemaker who appreci-
ates the importance of keeping
foods sound and wholesome will
regard an efficient refrigerator as
an investment in good health. It
is especially necessary that the
food supply be properly refrigerat-
ed during the warmer weather of
spring and summer, in order to
prevent the consumption of dishes
that may have become contami-
nated without any marked altera-
tion in appearance, taste or odor.
Highly Perishable Foods
Milk is often regarded as the
most perishable of all foods, be-
fore, essential that this splendid

| there until the moment it is to be
fused. Milk should never be al

{ ture for any length of time. For
iit has been demonstrated that
i when it is held at 40 degrees—an
ideal temperature—before deliv-
tery, then allowed to stand at a
| room temperature of 75 degrees
| for an hour and a half, and again
| refrigerated, a rapid increase in
| bacteria occurs.
Other types of protein foods alse

| held at temperatures higher than
{50 degrees. These include meat,
| fish, meat broths, gelatin, custards
{and creamed foods. It is advisa-
| ble to keep these foods, as well as
{the milk supply, in the coldest
| part of the refrigerator,
| Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables soon lose

{ air; and they are likewise subject
{to the action of micro-organisms
which result in decay. But when
stored in a modern refrigerator,
i these mineral- and vitamin-rich
foods can be kept in perfect condi-
| tion for considerable periods, thus
| making it possible to take
tage of favorable market
| ings.
Guarding Against Mold
; As a rule, warmer weather also
increases the problem of combat-
{ing molds. For given moisture
and warmth, molds will grow on
anything. However, the
most hospitable hosts are acid
| fruits, such as oranges, lemons,
berries or tomatoes; sweets, such
as jams and jellies; bread and
meat. While molds are physio-
logically harmless if eaten, they
definitely spoil the taste and ap-
pearance of food.
Mold growths can be killed by
{ boiling. They are retarded by the
{dry circulating air of an efficient
| refrigerator. It is to allow for
air circulation that berries should
| be stored uncovered—if possible,
spread out so that the air can
reach more than just the top
layer.
Frequent inspection of all food
| supplies, including those the
bread box, and the prompt elimi-
nation of any items showing signs
of mold, will help to keep it from
spreading.
Constant vigilance on the part of
the homemaker in caring for foods
on hand will avoid a needless
drain on the food budget and will
safeguard the health of every
member of the family.
