E. f Salon, At The Kiwunis Club _ ** Arch Flanagan, who spoke on freezer locker* and food preserva tion at the Rotary Club last week, gave a "repeat performance'" Monday night for the Kiwanis Club as the guest of George AJlfm. After tracing the development of freezing foods for preservation purposes, Flanagan asked for questions from members and ex plained, with a smile, that George and Alex Allen, who were largely responsible for the installation of Farmville's freezer lockers, could answer them. Cautioning against improper preparation and wrapping, Flan agan stated that lockers are in tended and designed to keep foods for out-of-season use, not indefin itely, and added that beef could be kept one year, pork six months, and such highly seasoned foods as sausage, for three months. No hard and fast rule can be estab lished but these are safe estimates. Vegetables with high water con tent, such as tomatoes, are not suited for locker preservation. Snapbeans are on the doubtful list. Lima beans, corn and peas? stand-bys in, Eastern Carolina? keep well. Advantages and im portance of quick freezing were pointed out as Flanagan explain ed this process prevented the for mation of large ice crystals which lower the quality of the food. Billy Smith, who was on a business trip to Akron, Ohio, last week when three other new mem bers were inducted, was formally prdpented. Buttons were present ed to him, to the Rev. E. R.
