IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our beloved mother, Christine Stilling, who passed away eight years ago on Jan. 1, 1953. A precious one from us is gone' A voice we loved is stilled A place is vacant in our midst Which never can be filled. Children and Grandchildren. For effective use of your home freezer, freeze only foods that are not unfavorably affected during storage. This is the advice of Bette Schaffner, University of Illinois home economist. Avoid freezing foods that get their flavor from cloves, green pepper, garlic, pimento and sage. These flavors intensify during freezer stoi'age. And while this change isn't harmful, it may be objectionable. Foods seasoned with onions are equally disappointing after being frozen, since onions weaken in flavor. Frozen cooked meat tends to have a warmed-up flavor when reheated. For a more pleasing flavor, freeze the raw meat and cook after thawing. Potatoes frozen in chunks become mushy when thawed. Therefore, it is advisable to add fresh potatoes to frozen st.ew or other mixtures when preparing dishes to serve. i When preparing a casserole containing vegetables to be frozen, slightly undercook it to avoid overcooking of vegetables in the finished dish. Frozen white sauce thickened with flour or cornstarch tends to-«epaffate*when thawed. To prevent it, freeze only the meat and broth and prepare the sauce just before serving. Custard-type pie fillings have a poor consistency after freezing. You'll get a more appealing pie if you make fresh cream filling. For safety's sake, never trj£ to freeze a stuffed turkey. The' stuffing may spoil before the turkey is thoroughly frozen. Remember, too, that food must be top quality when frozen if it is to have a good quality when thawed. JOHN M. FREUND John M. Freund, 74, died Christmas morning at Valley Hi nursing home, where he had been a patient for five and onehalf years.

Say the Brownie Starmeter or the Brownie Starmatic. You'll find yourself taking great pictures shot after shot because the camera lens is always set just right for. the light. Or maybe your Christmas money can give you a chance to get started on a moviemaking career. The new Bp3^v/ie 8 Movie Camera is a wQp/ie of a buy. Makes movies snapshot-easy to take - just as easy to afford. If you already own p^amera, what about some jjxiliary equipment? Say the spanking new Kodak 500 Projector, Model B, that can show your color slides big-as-life. If you're a movie fan, how about treating yourself like a guest at your shows? With a new automatic Brownie 8 Movie Projector (Model A15) you just feed in the film. The projector handles the job of threading the film and starting the show -- automatically. But do your post-Christmas shopping early -- before that Christmas money just plain disappears. EARL R. WALSH INSURANCE Fire, Auto, Farm Sc Life In.
