/PAGE 16 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1975 THE GENTLE THAW Third Annual Coin-Stamp Show Is Set A Coin-Stamp show serving the quad county areas of Cook, Lake, McHenry and Kane counties is being hosted by the McHenry County Coin club and will be held at the Crystal Lake American Legion hall, Woodstock and Oak treets in Crystal Lake, Sunday, Oct. 19. Show hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and ample parking is available on site. Club members will be available during the show for questions pertaining to coin collecting. Junior and senior exhibits will be displayed with trophies awarded along with a "Best of Show" award. The McHenry County Coin club, now it its fifteenth an­ niversary year, holds its regular meetings at the American Legion hall in Crystal Lake. Persons im- As every homemakef knows, frozen products offer the widest possible choice in foods all year 'round and al­ most countless combinations for wholesome and conven­ ient meal planning. And the variety of frozen products available contain all the es­ sential nutrients, in sufficient quantities, to provide op­ timum family nutrition. Of all the modern proc­ essing techniques currently used, freezing inflicts the least damage to the nutrient con­ tent of food. It is truly a "gentle process." In fact, a number of scientists feel that terested in colin collecting are urged to attend the meetings held the fourth Monday of each month at 8 p.m. If further information is required, one may write to P.O. Box 271, Crystal Lake, 111., 60014. most nutritional damage is done in the home. For example, fresh prod­ ucts such as spinach and turnip greens lose 90% of their vitamin C content when stored at 70 degrees for seven days, but only 3% when frozen and stored at 0 degrees. The colder the prod­ uct the slower the rate of decay in nutritive values, which is why it is often said that frozen products are "fresher than fresh." To get the full nutrient value of frozen foods, the homemaker must be careful to properly store and thaw the product. Frozen Food should be stored immediately in the family freezer - don't purchase frozen products if you're not going directly home from the supermarket, and unpack and store frozen products immediately. Your freezer should be clean, with a low frost level and kept as close to 0 degrees as possible. When thawing frozen food never take the product from the freezer directly into hot water or the oven (unless the product is of the "boil-in-a- bag" type and designed for such use). The vast majority of frozen products should be thawed in the "gentlest" method possible. The best procedure is to move the product from the freezer to the refrigerator and permit the thawing process to take place in that environment. By following such a tech­ nique, the protein and other systems in the food will have time to reabsorb the frozen "juices" back into the product as it gradually thaws. If you thaw frozen food quickly, in hot water for example, a high percent of essential nutrients will end up going down the drain with the waste water. By fast thawing, you also destroy a great many quality attributes inherent in the original frozen product. Frozen meat, for example, will lose an abnormally high amount of juices if fast thawed, resulting in far tougher cooked meat. Equally disastrous results are inflicted on the color, texture and flavor of the product. The process of freezing food is an advanced science that provides quality, conven­ ient products at any time; but the proper use of the product is equally important if its ad­ vantages are to be fully realized.

Another wedding will take place on "Marcus Welby." Dr. Welby's associate will marry the hospital's public- relations woman after a five- episode courtship. RHODA will find a new best friend for Brenda. Also, since character Phyl­ lis is following Rhoda into a new series from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," that series is bringing in two new characters to make merry with Mary. One will be her apartment-house man­ ager and the other will be a new upstairs neighbor. THE CAROL BURNETT Show has hired Tim Con­ way for regular duty this season.

But, it is the best press in the world and it is doing a fine job. It is an inte­ gral part of our democracy." So said a frequent critic of the press, former President Tru- The Biblical day of rest has been converted into something else. Living With A Remodeling Project You've signed with a reputable contractor, and the remodeling work is about to begin. What you and your contractor -- do next about your working relationship will make the difference between a pleasant experience or an unhappy one. You have selected the best contractor to do the project -- one who has a reputation for quality work­ manship, fair prices and pride in his work. Now, trust his skills. But your responsibility doesn't end here. Make a phase list of procedures. Have the contractor explain what will be removed and installed; that way. Post his phone number in case a question arises. To avoid mutual confusion, delegate only one family spokesman. Plan adequate storage space. Make room for mate­ rials, tools and equipment by clearing work area of unnecessary furnishings. Check materials as they arrive; once installed, they're all yours. Select materials in advance. Check locks and keys; you'll probably need to share keys with the contractor or his men. Ask who will take responsibility. Expect the unexpected. No one can prepare you for all the unforeseen incidents that may transpire such as: late deliveries, strikes, shipment shortages, wrong parts, oversights, rain, changes, etc. Tearing down a wall may uncover a problem that demands plan revisions. This starts a chain reaction that invariably leads to delays. Brush-up on building methods. A little construction knowledge will help when workmen fail to show up. Remodeling proceeds in, stages. Separate crews install framing, siding, insulation, masonry, finish carpentry and roofing. Painters, electricians, plumbers and car­ penters may make several trips to complete their jobs. Don't expect perfection. But do expect good work. Built-ins won't have a furniture-like finish unless you pay furniture prices. Protect your belongings. Cover furniture and car­ peting. There will be dirt and dust. Keep calm and flexible. Time-clocking workmen builds resentment. Plan ahead to do without water or power when work­ men shut off lines. That way you'll avoid food spoilage in your refrigerator because of an unexpected power shutoff. Consider the logistics involved in delivering, shipping and ordering materials. Your contractor is as anxious as you are to finish the job. Allow a margin for human error or simple forgetfulness. Stay out of the construction area. This is important for safety and maintaining construction schedules. Do not ask questions that slow production. Discuss construction changes only with the authorized superin­ tendent or contractor. Win cooperation with good, basic human relations. Try appreciation or an unexpected pot of coffee. c act®*5* % 0C ft Afkzp SVe 0- to W '"wM Vv ̂ 1 >(0Vl * \V> V 0 * ' CALL 459-2700 TO RESERVE SPACE Open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
