Tips On Outdoor Clothing | Senior Hot Li All over the country people are joining the outdoor clothing craze. It's light­ weight, functional and fashidnable, says Kathi Heberer, McHenry County Extension adviser. You'll see it anywhere from the local chopping center to the halls of the nearest schools. Outdoor clothing should be well-made and designed to last. These basic shopping tips will help you select quality down or synthetic- filled garments. ^ -Nyon fabrics ravel excess­ ively and must be seared (heated to melt the yarns and prevent fraying) on raw edges or have proper seam finishes. Since searing is time-consuming and would increase costs, it is usually not done on ready-to-wear garments. Look for plain seams with a clean-finished raw edge, flat-felled seams, or French seams. \ - In quilted garments, all "channels should be filled evenly and fully. - On down garments, you can expect tiny feathers to poke through the fabric from time to time. However, if this is excessive or if the fabric surface looks fuzzy, the garment is of poor quality. * - The thicker the loft, the warmer the garment will be. For camping and skiing, look for thick filling or loft. For everyday wear thinner loft is suitable. - For down garments, avoid quilting lines that ran vertically. Most of the down will eventually settle to the bottom of the garment. Horizontal quilting is a better choice. - Pockets should be in­ sulated and equipped with closures. - Closures should be sturdy and securely attached. Outdoor clothing should fit comfortably and never be ^.tight or binding. Elastic or knitted cuffs and elastic or drawstrings at the waist can help block out the wind. Flaps over zippers will keep out wind and snow. Read Label Carefully RECIPE "Read the Label -- No Nitrites - ^ Handle Carefully" We're told to read labels. all the time. Do not bleach, use a warm iron-all this to protect the product. There's a new very important reason " to read labels on some meats--to protect yourself. Nitrites that were used as preservatives are now not being used in some products. You may see these soon in the meat section of your grocery store. Whether or not nitrite should be used*? as a preservative in processed meat has been a hot topic for some time among con­ sumers and food processing circles. The USDA has an­ nounced that products traditionally cured with nitrite may be produced without nitrite and, for the first time, labeled by their common or usual names. Prior to this new USDA regulation, frankfurters without nitrite, for example, would have been labeled "uncured cooked sausage". The new regulation does require that labels on nitrite- free products must carry the word "uncured" as part of the product nairfe ("Un­ cured Frankfurter", for example) and the statement, "No Nitrite or Nitrate Ad­ ded." If no alternative method of preservation-such as canning, pickling, or drying- is used, the labels must also carry the warning: "Not Preserved-Keep Refri­ gerated Below 40 Degrees Fahrenheit At All Times." 0 In addition, nitrite-free products must be similar in size, flavor, consistency, and general appearance to the traditional products. The "uncured" label means the consumer must, treat these products fresh pork or groUncTbeef. Their refrigerator life will be only 4 to 7 days rather than 2 to 3 weeks of the "cured" meats. Rules for keeping uncured meat safe and protecting yourself from botulism (food poisoning you can die from) and other toxic substances that grow in uncured meat are: 1. Refrigerate im­ mediately. 2. Don't leave them at room temperature for more than a few mintues. 3. Use, uncured meat in lunch bags only if sand­ wiches can be refrigerated or kept cold. 4. Freeze the meat in its original packaging or wrap tightly in aluminum foil or freezer wrap. 5. Defrost the meat in the refrigerator or by im­ mersing it in a water-tight wrapper in cold water. 6. Cook meat thoroughly if it requries cooking. 7. Refrigerate leftovers promptly and use them within 3 to 4 days.
