STEAKS. Sometime in the not-
loo-distant future, you may be
able to keep steaks and other
meats in the house almost in
definitely — without freezing
them. In fact, without even re
frigeration.
The Joint Committee on Atom
ic Energy has .lust released in
formation concerning extensive
work by the Army in the preser-
xmtion of food through atomic
energy.
At recent hearings before ihe
.ioint committee, top quartern-ftes-
ler and research officials of the
Armj' told members of Congress
that amazing developments have
been made in the field of radia
tion sterilization of foods.
MONTHS. Flor ccxample, the
Army men brough a potato to
the hearings that had been "ir
radiated” or treated, some 10
months previously. It had not
been under refrigeration or any
other preservation care and was
still “like new.”
The officers also brought along
samples of bread, pork cuts, beef
roasts, cottage cheese, spinach
and corn that had been given the
atomic sterilization treatment
about a week earlier)
Even after a week without re
frigeration, the meats and vege
tables looked like they .just came
from the grocery counter, and,
according to the experts, they
would taste just like they were
fresh.
COSTS. The basic research work
ill this field was launched by the
Army, but private industry has
been intently interested in its
progress and has started work on
its own in the field.
One of the main, long-range
interests of the Army in the de
velopment of such work hinges
on the tremendous savings that
could be made in food costs.
Testimony at the hearings
.showed that it costs the taxpayers
1.5 billion dollars a year to feed
the armed forces.
This figure could be greatly
reduced through lower handling
costs, fexver refrigeration facili
ties, and lower food losses.
OPERATION. Although the
workings of atomic energy in
preserving foods is for the more
scientific minds, here, in a nut
shell, is hoxv the operation works,
according to Army officials.
Radiation sterilization employs
nuclear ionization instead of heat
to destroy inactive micro-organ
isms. In this process only a small
rise in temperature takes placie
over a matter of a second or a
minute, as contrasted to heat
sterilization, which requires about
240 degrees F. for an hour or
more.
Radiation sterilization can pro-
..vide a fresh sterile product or
a cooked sterile product xvith far
better taste and textures than
eonx'entional canning or other
preservative methods.

UP IN THE AIR
(Raleigh News & Observer)
That new Board of Higher Ed
ucation may not have noticed it
but its problems arc extending
from college campuses lo the lim
its of telecasti.'ig.
tVith some reluctance the leg
islature gave the Consolidated
University less money than it
needed to its education televi
sion piogram. Now East Carolina
College, on its own and presum-
•ably without cost to the Slate,
is offering courses for college
credit over station WNCT in
Greenville. No criticism of that
enterprise is voiced here. If peo
ple all over an area in Eastern
Noi'Hi Carolina can stay home
and take for college credit a
course in Shalcigspfare that xvould
seem to be very nice, indeed.
The news creates interesting
possibilities, hov/ever. If this edu
cational T'V business really gets
going, there may be need ot less,
not more, dormitories, dining
halls, etc., at Greenville, Chapel
Hill, other college towns. Cer
tainly East Carolina's entry into
the educatronal TV field, in xvhich
the Consolidated University has
had lairly rough going, raises
questions as to the coordination
of education in the air as well
as on the campuses. If credits
for course.« in one State-support
ed college are negotiable in oth
ers, as they should be, credit
courses in educational TV might
make it po.ssible for a man to
stay home and go to two oi- Liree

(JOHN ALLAN MAY in
London—A friend of mine in
Georgia has asked me to explain
English hats. He is constantly
reading references to different
types of hats in foreign corre
spondence of the newspapers and
realizes hats must be significant.
So he would like to know xxdiat
the names mean. He would also
like to know what the hats mean.
And I would like to comply
with his request. But there are
so many hats, and so many mean
ings, that it cannot be done all
at once in this space. Perhaps
we can run a series here on hats
that w'ould last until December.
So we will have to take thinks
one at a time. And there is no
doubt that of all the hats of
England—the Anthony Eden, the
Trilby, the Porkpie, the Swal'ler.
the Boater, the Cricket Cap, and
the rest — precedence must be
given to the Bowler.

COSTUME AND CUSTOM
(Christain Science Monitor)
Mayor Tucker of St. Louis has
proposed that the summer uni
form for police shall henceforth
consist of Bermuda shorts, open
collared sport shirts, and pith
helmets.
Why not? North America seems
to be on the hot side of a tem
perature cycle. Whether that
cycle is one to be measured in
decades or centuries no one
really knows. But the middle of
the country has the "continental”
climate—extremes of heat and
cold St. Louis, Kansas City, Oma
ha, Dallas, and other metropolises
lying in that heart land have
seen their thermometers break
the 112 mai’k during the last few
years. Why shouldn’t their uni
formed public servants as well
as their casually attired private
citizens be allowed to adapt to
it?
Some can remember when the
prevailing police uniform was
patterned after the London “bob
by’s”—wool coat buttoned to the
chin and felt-covered helmet.
One wonders how the early
colonist got along, coming from
chill, misty Britain, where 73 de
grees is a “heat wave.” Or later
the supposedly acclimated citizens
of the young republic. For warm
cycles are not new. A sequence
of searing summers swept the.
Mississippi Valley and the plains
over 100^ years ago.
^ It’s not so much the climate a.s,
in this case happily, the customs
and the costumes that have
changed.
