Winners Of Talent And Fashion Review At Northside School
Talent, Fashion Review Held
By JANICE CRUMP
Norlina Northside Elementary
School held its
third annual talent and
fashion review, "Parade
of the Stars," on Tuesday
night of last week in the
school cafetorium. Hundreds
of parents, teachers,
and friends crowded
the room to view a
variety of performing
arts.
Children in grades K
through three were given
the opportunity to develop
an act at home and
enter it in the show. All
acts had to be products of
the student's creativity in
order to be eligible for
entry in the show. There
was no time allowed from
classroom study to develop
the acts.
Children competed for
ribbons in eight catagories.
However, the most
coveted prize was the
trophy for "Best of
Show." Ribbon winners
were Edward Allen, best
pantomine; Jason
Crump, Gary Mayfield
and Kenneth Ray Alston,
best stunt; Kimberly
Fuller, best piano recital;
Holly Green and Desmond
Green, best poetic
recital: Toiya Crump tied
Mass Media Advertising
Is A Part Of Food Cost
If your family spends
$3,000 a year on food, you
are paying about $28 a
year for mass media
advertising of that food.
According to specialists
with the North Carolina
Agricultural Extension
Service, about 94 cents of
every $100 you spend for
food goes for mass media
advertising, excluding
that done in newspapers.
Of the $28 a year, $24
goes to television and
$2.50 to magazines. The
rest finances radio,
newspaper supplement
and billboard
advertising.
According to a survey
by a U.S.D.A. economist,
most of the advertising is
done to build the image of
the food product. Very
little price information is
usually provided.
The survey showed that
food manufacturers,
retailers and service
companies spent a total of
$2.5 billion on advertising
in 1978-more than twice
what the second largest
users-automobile and
gasoline advertisers
spent.
Foods advertised most
are those that are highly
processed. About 13
percent of food industry
advertising was spent on
soft drinks alone during
1978.
The least advertising is
done for unprocessed
meats, poultry, fresh
eggs, dairy products and
fruits and vegetables.
Food advertising
accounted for about 22
percent of television's
advertising revenues in
1978.
Trivia
Velour and chenille
fabrics need to be pressed
carefully to avoid damaging
the pile. Use a
needleboard, a self-fabric
press cloth, or a towel to
protect them.
Always cut or chop on a
wooden or plastic cutting.
board. This keeps knives
from slipping and becoming
dull. When carving,
avoid hitting the bone or
the platter.

Suggestions Are Given
To Help Keep Food Cold
A spring or summer
storm can sometimes cut
your supply of electric
power off, giving you
good reason to worry
about the safety of your
refrigerated and froeen
foods.
The next time a power
failure occurs, follow
these suggestions from
specialists with the North
Carolina Agricultural
Extension Service to help
keep the food in your
refrigerator and freezer
safe from spoilage.
For refrigerated foods:
keep the refrigerator
door closed. Opening the
door, once you realize the
power is off, lets out cold
air that will not be
replaced and your foods
will reach room
temperature more
quickly.
Add dry ice to the
refrigerator if you know
power will be off for some
time. The more dry ice
you add, the longer the
food will keep cold. Make
it a point to know where
dry ice is available in
your area.
If the electricity is still
off after several hours,
transfer meat, poultry
and other highly
perishable products to the
freezer section or to your
freezer. The already
frozen products will keep
the others cold longer.
Changing your next
meal's menu can help you
use up some of the more
perishable items before
they have a chance to
spoil.
For freezer stored
foods: keep the freezer
door closed. Open it only
to add dry ice, if
necessary.
If you must open it to
take out or put in food, do
it as quickly as possible.
Although most freezers
will keep foods frozen for
at least 24 hours - some 48
- the amount of time
depends an the following
factors:
The amount of food in
the freeser: a full freeter
will stay cold many hours
longer than a freeser only
a quarter full.
The kind of food stored:
a freeser full of meat
stays cold longer than a
freezer of baked foods.
The temperature of the
food: the colder the food,
the longer it will stay
frozen. Be sure your foods
are kept at 0 degrees F. or
below.
The freezer itself: the
larger the freezer, the
longer the food will stay
cold. A well-insulated
freezer will keep food
frozen much longer than
one with little insulation.
Where you place your
freezer will also help
determine how long it will
be effective. Don't locate
it next to a hot water
heater, furnace or where
it will be exposed to direct
sunlight. Be sure there is
space around it so that air
can circulate to dissipate
any heat radiated from
the refrigeration coils.
When electric power is
restored, be sure to check
your foods and use those
first that have defrosted
the most. Meats that still
have ice crystals or have
maintained a 40 degree F.
temperature for less than
2 days may be safely
refrozen.
Some quality may be
lost, but the product will
still be wholesome.
Get rid of any food that
is off-color or that has an
off-odor.

buy only a third as much
coffee as the middle-aged
