Nestleton area news By Mrs. {ean Bolan The Caesarta Community Hall was the setting for a pleasant birthday party on Saturday evening, Feb. 21. Many friends and neigh- bours gathered to honour Bernice and Norm Tennyson upon the event "of their fifty,..ish? birthdays. Music to suit every mood was pro- vided by Chester Pedzekow- ski.. The buffet was delect- able. The look of surprise on the faces of this popular couple was nice. I do believe I saw a tear in Bernie's eye. Norm and Bernice are al- . ways willing to assist a neighbour in any way pos- sible. It was only fitting that they should be acknowledged in this small way. So, from friends everywhere, "Happy Birthday" you two...and many, many more to come.

Leckie, General Manager, Meat Packers Council of Canada.\This is required by federal govern- ment regulation under the Food and Drugs Act, and its purpose is to act as an additional freshness guide to the consumers. To take an example, a customer shopping on March 10th may find in a meat counter a certain package of meat carrying the notation "Best Before" (Meilleur Avant) MR 31". The first thing to recognize is that "MR 31 means-March 31st, and this is the 'durable life' date put on by the processor. The first two letters indicate the month - MR for March, AL for April, JN for June, etc. The figures following indicate the day of the month i.e. from 01-to 31. Mr. Leckie went on to say, "It is important to understand what 'durable life' means. It simply means that-it is the date up to which the product can be expected to retain, without appreciable deterioration, its normal wholesomeness, palat- ability, nutritional value or any other qualities claimed for it by the processor. But this is A providing the product has been shipped and ° stored under continuous, adequate refrigeration, which means 40 degrees F. (4.4 degrees C.) or less.' So the 'durable life' date is simply a further convenient yardstick of freshness. It does not mean that the product cannot or should not be used after the date shown. Nor does it mean that up to that date, regardless of the way the product has been kept and stored befofe or after purchase, there is complete assurance of quality and freshness. The same care, as always, with perishable products is necessary, and particularly once the original package is opened. If the "Best Before' date is close at hand, the package should be consumed in the near future, especially when opened. The 'durable life' of unopened packages can be extended by immedi- ate, thorough freezing. While meat products with a 'durable life' of less than 90 days, and pre-packaged by proces- sors, will carry, starting March 1st, a "Best Before' date, the same will not apply for the present to meats packaged at the retail location. For the next year meat, poultry and fish products packaged and sold in store by retailers will carry a 'packaging date' rather than a 'durable life' date. But placards at point-of-sale will indicate for each type of such in-store packaged- products, what durable life can be expected. So in effect essentially similar fresh- ness guides will be available, whether the package carries a 'Best Before' date or a packaging date. To sum up, Mr. Leckie points out that after March 1st meat consumers should keep the following points in mind: 1. The 'Best Before' date is basically a yardstick of relative freshness. The manufacturer or processor feel it is the date, under goad handling practices, up to which his customers can expect the particular product to retain its original quality. ) 2. For the 'Best Before" date to hold good, the package must remain intact and always be kept adequately refrigerated at 40 degrees F. (4.4 degrees C.) or lower. 3. Under the above conditions, the product will normally remain perfectly safe to consume for a reasonable time beyond the 'Best Before' date. 4. Product life can be extended well past the 'Best Before' date by freezing. 5. Consumers can continue as in the past to buy and use reputable, time-tested brands of pro- ducts, using the date as an extra check on freshness only.
