RICE Reporter On Your Marks ... Classes have started, and in earnest, so instead of sav ing our exhortations until the last two weeks of the semes ter, we’ll start now. One of the old Chinese sages once wrote something on the order of “A good start, then a consistently run race, is many times better than a spurt at the finish line.” Another one is an old prof’s favorite—“The first six weeks of a course can make or break your grade.” Still another is” If you don’t cut my class, then I won’t whittle at your grade.” All of which goes to show that there are several things beside craming that make up one’s grade—attendance, and consistent studying, for instance. Yes, it’s best to start off strong, then keep up with class and outside work, the first half-term and give a little sprint to keep up the last half-term. DESK LAMPS!!

Miracles Of Food-Freezing Explained In Four Books By Paul S. Ballance Acting Librarian Yes, the time has come when you can ask the grocer for a “bag” of orange juice, or any other fruit juice for that matter. Many of us are not aware of the fact that fruit juices are being quick frozen the same as meats, vegetables and fruits. There have been published within the past three or four years a few books dealing with the various phases of frozen foods and their methods of storage. Some of these books will not only appeal to the housewife or consumer, but they will have an appeal to the person who may be interested from a business point of view. The most comprehensive and most authoritative book to-date is the volume by Donald K. Tressler and Clifford F. Evers, entitled The Freezing Preservation of Foods, published in 1943. The authors give much information that would be valuable and useful to the manager or operator of a frozen food lock er plant. The retailer or distribu tor of frozen food products would gain much valuable information from this volume. In fact this vol ume is chiefly concerned with the mechanical processes of refrigera tion, and the processes involved in the preparation and actual freez ing of the various food products. The chapters of this book dealing with the nutritive values of frozen foods and the cooking and serving of frozen foods will have a greater appeal to the home economist or the consumer. In 1941 The University of Ten nessee published a survey of The Frozen Food Industry by Harry Carlton. This survey as the author explains is an attempt to present a general picture of the procedures and methods employed by the froz en-fruit and vegetable industry from the farm to the consumer with special emphasis on markets and distribution. This volume would have a definite appeal to the locker plant operator and distribu tor of frozen foods. Boyden Sparks has written a very readable and informative book entitled Zero Storage in the Home. Much useful information is contained herein on the purchase and operation of a home freezing unit for the storage of vegetables, fruits, meats and fish. The first part of the book is devoted to the history of the invention of refrig eration as applied to the quick freezing of foods up to 1944. The second or latter part of the book contains facts, figures and lists of equipment, types of food to be used, and other pertient facts for owners of home freezing equip ment. Anne Pierce, a home economist, has written a book entitled Quick Freezing. The author in this brief volume discusses the general prin ciples of quick freezing; the equip ment used, as well as care of the unit and cost of operation. The preparation of various foods, such as vegetables, meats, fish, and ampiL Opens 1:00 P.M. - 4-1181 MONDAY — LAST DAY “Those Endearing Young Charms” — with — Loraine Day Robert Young Also Bugs Bunny Cartoon WED. - THRUS. ■//otv r „ Jie 0kA FILMED FOR THE FIRST TIME! also a Stream Lined Feature “FALL IN” with Wm.
