"loafers" from the home flock I
and put them in the freezer.
The locker plant takes away
from the home the unpleasant
Job of dressing poultry. At the
locker too, the home maker will
find facilities for quick freeze
(20 below zero) which Is essen
tial for a good flavored product.
When there are a number of
birds to be processed at one
time, the quick freeze service
of the locker plant will prevent
the home freezer from being
overloaded.
Getting chickens reaay ? Only
healthy plump birds should be
chosen for freezing. When young
birds ? broilers, fryers or roast
ers ? are big enough ior table
use, it Is often economical to
freeze and store them. Prepare
them carefully, chill promptly,
and freeze as soon as cold.
Roasters? Prepare bird as for
cooking, tie legs and wings tight
to body to save space. Package
chilled birds in moisture-vapor
resistant wrapping materials.
Fold securely, mold around bird
to drive out air. Heat, seal the
end or seal with cold storage
tape. Tie in stockinette.
Broilers ? Remove head and
feet from dressed birds. Cut
along the back bone, open, and
take out entrails. Cut bird in
two along breastbone. Wash
well, dry, and chill quickly. Place
halves toge^er with two pieces
of cellophane between them.
Package loose roasting chickens.
Fryers ? Prepare dressed chick
en for frying. Wash, dry and
chill. Sort meaty pieces (breast,
thigh, also If desired) and bony
pieces (wings, backs, and necks).
Bony pieces may be cooked and
bones removed to obtain good
sized pieces of meat. This meat
can then be frozen for creamed
chicken, chicken a la king, etc.
Insert each "meaty" piece In a
fold of cellephane and pack
tightly in a carton or package
that can be heat sealed. Use
medium sized or small packages
to suit family needs.
Giblets ? Giblets are best used
fresh. If they are to be frozen,
clear, wash, dry, and chill. Put
In a separate package for
freezing.
Label? Mark packages plainly
to save guesswork. Give date
and content, such as "meaty
pieces" or "fryer breasts". Write
labels and mark bones in ad
vance to speed the packaging
job. Wrap packaged food in a
newspaper to help keep it cold
if it must be taken to the lock
er. If a few packages are plac
ed in home freezer, space pack
ages so air can move between
them. After freezing, store at

zero temperature.
Some recent research from
Miss Nlta Orr, home economist
in Food Conservation of North
Carolina State college in
"Freeze It To Save" states,
"What about that dark bone in
frozen chicken? It is blood iron
and good for you. Actually, it is
found only in young birds
whose bones are not mature.
The red marrow seeps through
the bones. If there is blood
around the bones, that is an
other thing and simply shows
that the bird was not well bled.
Be sure to remove the lungs
(lights to some people) before
freezing chickens of any age.
Reason? Nearly always some of
the dirty scalding water will be
sucked into the lungs. There
will be bacterial growth and off
flavors will develop. You're
lucky if you have a near by
freezer-locker plant that proc

Buick's newest engine
? the F-263 Fireball ?
gives this year's SPECIAL
the highest power in SPECIAL histot
Remember-only BUICK has a
Fireball Engine
WE get a chuckle, sometimes, over
all the fuss that's being made
about "new engines."
Yhi'11 note that the key feature of their
design in every case is the valve- in-head
principle ? whether these engines are
already in production or still in the
dream stage.
Fact is, it takes this design to get the
most from "high compression"? and
how high you can go depends upon the
available fuel. Using this design, war
time ' -craft engines operated on 100
oct soline.
It ait>o takes this design to get the
more-miles- per-gallon which folks like
in an automobile.
So what gives us a chuckle is this:
No other type of engine has ever been
used in a Buick ? which means that
Buick owners, all along, have been get
ting a lot of things that other* l.ave iust
"discovered."
Whan you com* to chock tho field you'll find thai
thoro't a iwoot freedom from roughness to this
onglno't operation? tracing to tho fact that tho
whole mechanism itself is engineered smooth,
and the further fact that overy Fireball Engine
got! a Micropoise balancing after assembly.
* * *
But that's not all. They get something
more ? vastly more ? because today's
Fireball Engine has one standout fea
ture found in no other automobile.
That name "Fireball" isn't just a trick
word. It describes what happens inside
this engine. Inrushing fuel rolls into a
swirling ball of gasoline vapor com*
pacted around the spark plug. And
when the fat spark sets it off, a cyclone
of power lets go.
Of course, a Fireball Engine, being
a valve-in-head, keeps paoe with
high-test fuel, when it comes to "high
compression."
But what's more important in the
present state of the world is this: A
Fireball Engine is designed to handlo
the not-so-high-teat fuel we may be
ting in the not-too-distant future.
So, if you want to sample all that's fin* (
in motorcar engines, your Buick d? If i
