^P^an the calendar be right? The holidays are just around the
corner! Or should I say, here?
The efforts of baking will be wasted if proper storage is not
I carried out for baked goods. Whether for the family or for
gifts, here are some tips I feel will be helpful:
1. To freeze unbaked dough, use one of these two methods :
? a. Pack dough into freezer containers or wrap air-tight in foil
or freezer bags. Dough can thaw at room temperature, but
allow to thaw only to the point where it can be spooned out.
b. Drop cookie dough according to recipe directions onto wax
; paper-lined cookie sheets. Place cookie sheets in the freezer
about 1 hour. Remove unbaked, frozen cookies; quickly pack
into freezer container. To thaw, remove from container, place
on ungreased cookie sheets, let stand 10 minutes, then bake.
2. Cool all cookies thoroughly before storing. Do not overlap or
stack cookies until completely cool.
3. Properly wrapped cookies or cookie dough can be stored in
the freezer several months without losing flavor and
freshness. Be sure to label each item with date and recipe
name. When ready to serve, cookies and bars should be frosted
while still frozen but before thawed.
4. Soft cookies should be stored separately from crisp cookies.
5.Plain and frosted cakes and cookies, except those with
whipped cream or custard fillings, are usually not stored in the
refrigerator as they absorb too much moisture.
6. Store soft cookies in a tightly covered container and crisp
cookies in & container with a loose cover.
7. If crisp cookies soften, they can be rejuvenated by placing
them on a baking sheet before serving and heating 3-5 minutes
in a slow oven (350 F.)
A If soft cookies dry out, place a slice of apple, orange or bread
into container. Here's to happy baking and to a happy holiday!

SOUTHERN RAILWAY CARRIES THIS MUCH
COAL 149 MILES ON A GALLON OF FUEL
Guess how far a
truck could carry it'
efficient user of fuel in the
transportation industry. Bar
none. And the Southern
Railway is one of
the most efficient railroads in the
country.
For instance, on the Southern, this
3.000-lb. load of coal can travel 149
miles on one gallon of fuel. How far
could a truck carry it on the same
amount of fuel? Well, the railroad is.
on average, about four times more
fuel-efficient than trucks, 60 times
more efficient than planes, and even
more efficient than waterways So it's
easy to see that trucks can't carry
freight anywhere near as far as rail
roads can per gallon of fuel
What does this mean for the future?
Well, it means that trucks will be used
More and more products will ride on
the Southern, and trucks will be used
for distribution at the other end of the
line Because, in the coming years,
only the railroad will have the energy
efficiency for long hauls.
Mfe have the energy for the long haul
