Frozen Vitamins Spark Soup, Sauces . ■ . . I? , Approximately one-third of the minerals and vitamins in canned vegetables is Jost when the liquid is poured off, say nutritionists in the U.S. Department of Agriculture. One way to save this valuable liquid is to pour it into ice trays, freeze it in the freezer section of your electric refrigerator-freezer, then store the cubes in plastic bags until you need liquid to add to gravy, soup, or sauces. It will make them tastier and more nutritious.

Famed Hudson’s Bay Cut First Lumber for Export From West

The first manufactured product shipped froth the western United States was lumber cut in 1827 at the Hudson's Bay sawmill at Fort Vancouver, near what is now Vancouver, Washington. The country will observe for the fourth consecutive year. National Forest Products Week on October 20-26, when lumber and our forests will be given recognition. The northwest in the early 1800 s was loosely controlled by Great Britain through occupation by the Hudson's Bay Company fur trading posts. However, Lewis and Clark, in their famous overland expedition in 1804-5 established claim to the region in the name of the United States of America. Prior to that, Captain Robert Gray, out of Boston, had entered the mouth of the Columbia river in 1792 and laid claim on behalf of his country. The first cargo of lumber to leave the Columbia river was a load of Clear Douglas fir destined for the Sandwich Islands, now known as Hawaii. It was cut in a crude up-and-down muley sawmill put together by the famed Hudson's Bay factor, Dr. John McLoughlin. This first sawmill west of the Mississippi river was to be the forerunner of a great industry, which has flourished for a century and more. The great western Douglas fir forests were first made readily available to the rest of the nation with the coming of the transcontinental railroads in the 1870 s which joined

the far northwest corner of the country wit hthe east. The lumber trade was further stimulated with the opening of the Panama canel. Now, the states of Oregon and Washington, along with northern Cahfornia, supply half of the nation’s softwood lumber each year. The bulk of this lumber is Douglas fir, the nation’s most extensively used single species. Also popular with the nation’s lumber users are other west cost woods like the lovely western red cedar and the equally beautiful west coast hemlock. These wester n woods are known for their exquisite coloring and texture. Douglas fir has a reddish tinge to its honey tones. West coast hemlock is more in the champagne tones while western red cedar has the warm autumn reds and browns. These woods finish beautifully i n clear varnish and plastics. They are prized for interior finish and paneling. In addition to enjoying high acceptance and popularity in U. S. markets, Douglas fir has long been shipped t o nearly every nation of the globe from these west coast states. It has been used in Europe, in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Japan, and at one time before the Communists seized power was used in considerable volume in China. The lumber and forest products industries have a product value of two billion dollars a year for Oregon and Washington’s economy, and they provide employment for 145,000 men and women.

Freeport, N. Y.-Making a comfortable room in our “raised ranch’’ house for my husband’s mother when she became too feeble to live alone seemed impossible. It turned out to be reasonably easy and economical. Mom, who has a weak heart, isn’t supposed to climb stairs, so the best place for her room was on the ground floor. The only available space there, however, was an unheated utility-laundry-furnace room crammed with • pipes, water heater, fuse box, and meters. But a home remodeling expert had the answer. By moving the laundry units, air vent, water meter, and some low-hanging water pipes, we could have an L-shaped room with more than 200 square feet of floor space. It already had three windows and a door to the bath. Two problems remained. First,

Nation Claims Best Forests The world’s most prolific forests are found in the nothwest corner of the United States.,Covering 30 million acres in western Oregon and Washington, these forests contain 600 billion board feet of timber. The nation will take a new look at her timber resources and products on October 20-26 when National Forest Products Week secutive year. is observed for the fourth condominant species, the region The average rainfall of 40 inches Because Douglas fir is the takes its name from that tree, conditions ' when coupled with a year makes for ideal growing the high site quality of the soil, sometimes called the rain forThe Douglas /ir forests are ests, and produce 700 board feet of lumber per acre per year. About 75% of the lumber cut in these two states each year is Douglas fir, followed by west coast hemlock, western red cedar and white fir. Douglas fir is the nation’s most widely used structural lumber being used for house framing and framing of schools and commercial buildings. Hemlocjc is also a structural lumber. Some of the fihest appearance grades of lumber come from this compact forest area. Douglas fir, west coast hemlock and western red cedar are prized as paneling and very popular for interior finish, trim and all sorts of builtins. About half of the 30 million acres is covered with old growth timber with the balance in various age classes ranging from a few years to 100 year stands. The Douglas fir region annually supplies about eight billion board feet of lumber, just under one-third of the nation’s softwood consumption.

there seemed to be no space for a clothes closet without sacrificing floor space. Second, the boiler and water heater had to stay where they were. A single solution-two walls, at right angles, each made of four louver doors of ponderosa pine —took care of both problems perfectly. The louvers, hung from tracks to fold back when open, require little space. They provide , air circulation to the gas-fired furnace and give decorative texi ture and a great sense of spaciousness to the room. The louver ! doors, which reach from floor to ceiling, also add a feeling of , height to the low-ceilinged room. : Now Mom has a very comfortI able, attractive bed-sitting room s with her own heating control, ■ five-foot closet, and adjoining ■ bath.

In California Women Want Electric Range With Two Ovens What’s the most popular type of range today? According to Mrs. Mary Ann Kruce, California kitchen designer, it’s electric and has a separate, automatically controlled oven-preferably a double oven. Next most popular with her clients are the free-standing elec- * trie ranges with a built-in look. Mrs. Kruce, who is the owner of Western Kitchens in Pomona, says the new high-oven units with surface cooking elements flush with the counter are especially appreciated by families who rent. IF jfc THBBHi* I Mrs. Walter Sterling of Claremont, Calif., puts a party-sized casserole in the top section of her double electric oven, leaving the one below free for baking a pie and rolls. Her new electric kitchen was designed by Mrs. Mary Ann Kruce of Western Kitchens in Pomona. They look built-in but can be taken along when the family moves, she explains, Asked if women have accepted automaticity in their kitchen appliances, Mrs. Kruce replied, “Yes, certainly. For one thing, controls on the new electric ranges have been greatly simpli-fied,-they’re easy to use. , “On and off oven timers are particularly wanted by women who work or are socially active and away from home often. Dishwasher Lessens Big-Family Blues Today’s families love children —lots of them. But, as with almost everything that’s fun, there are drawbacks to a houseful of youngsters. One is the mountain of dirty dishes to be done every day. Many a smart homemaker with a healthy, hungry brood of children has permanently cured her dishwashing depression by switching from dishpan drudgery to an automatic electric dishwasher. She thereby eliminates hours of toil every week, keeps the kitchen neater all day, and has more time for her family.

Best-Selling Author Says: Appliances Help M’lady Snub Kitchen Career

Women should not feel guilty if they take advantage of the conveniences in today’s electric appliances to help cut down their housekeeping chores, according to Mrs. Betty Friedan, author of the best-seller “The Feminine Mystique,” published recently by W. W. Norton & Company, Inc. It’s a mistake for women to idealize house-

work into something it is not. They should not look for more in it than it holds, she says. “S e e housework for what it is-not a career, but something that

Betty Friedan

must be done as quickly and efficiently as possible” she writes. “Use the vacuum cleaner and dishwasher and all the automatic appliances, and even the instant mashed potatoes for what they are truly worth-to save time that can be used in more creative ways,” she urges. The multitude of today’s household appliances do make housework both quick and efficient. If you have an electric range with automatic controls, for example, use them and let the range do your cooking for you while you go about other things. Or, if you find you’re having to shop for groceries two or three times a week, get a larger refrig-erator-freezer and cut down on endless, time-consuming trips to the market. Rather than feel guilty about doing less housework and more creative things, Mrs. Friedan,

Roof Color Comes First, Says Stylist When a woman dresses herself to make a big impression, she usually finishes at the top-with her hat. But when she dresses up her house, it’s just the opposite, if she’s smart. She starts at the top—with the roof. There are two good reasons for this, according to color authority William Manker of Los Angeles: 1. Since the roof is usually the - largest unbroken surface on a nouse, the choice of roofing color has a major effect on the impression the house makes. 2. Durable roofing such as ULlabeled asphalt shingles will give long years of service. Trim and siding will require painting long before a roof needs replacement. Manker stresses the importance of coordinating roof, siding and trim colors with architectural style. “A ranch-type house looks attractive when sidewalls and trim are painted with stained colors of soft gray-green, gray, tanbeige or cream. A brown asphalt shingle roof goes well with this house,” he says. “A Regency-style home is often painted in subtle colors — soft graygreen, or a gray blend. The roofing should be slate gray. “A Colonial house is usually white with black or dark colored shutters and a slate gray or dark brown roof,” Manker says. “The contemporary modern home,” he adds, “can be practically any exterior color. It often has a white or sand-colored lowpitch roof."

wife and mother of three children aged from 6 to 14 years old, believes women should make a personal commitment to their own goals as human beings— to an art or science, to politics or a profession. She says that if they will make room for their own selves in their lives, women will end up liking their husbands and children more. If, on the other hand, they deny their personal identities and goals, and live only through their families, they often become unhappy, nagging females. When women stop worrying about conforming to the conventional, deceptive picture of femininity and the housewife image pushed on them by educators and women’s magazines, writes Mrs. Friedan, they begin to enjoy being women. Their fulfillment lies not merely in marriage and a family, she says, but in finding and expressing themselves as persons. / Mrs. Friedan, whose personal professional commitment is writing, accepts all the help she can get in running her home smoothly. She has part-time help which frees her to visit the library when she has research to do. And she also recently bought another new labor-saving device to streamline her household chores. “I just got a dishwasher,” she says, “and it’s a wonderful invention. It’s just the thing to shorten housework drudgery and let me do my writing,” she said in an interview. But when it comes to weekends, Mrs. Friedan stays away from the typewriter. “My husband is home then — and he doesn’t want me to work when he’s around,” she says simply.
