USDA amends meat specifications

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has amended its Institutional Meat Purchase Specifications (IMPS) to add two new items. The new specifications are for cooked cured beef, chunked and formed and sliced cooked cured beef, chunked and formed. IMPS are a series of detailed descriptions of various meat items. They are used mainly by large institutions such as hotels, school systems and airlines to describe meat cuts they want to buy. On the basis of IMPS, USDA meat graders can certify that the produce offered by the seller meets the contract specifications of the buyer. IMPS are developed by USDA in cooperation with industry. Tips for fruitcake Here are a few tips for making your fruitcake the talk of the town: Cool fruitcake in pan, then turn out. If baked in a foilware pan or a pan that is part of the gift, leave as is and wrap gaily. Store fruitcake in foil, plastic wrap, or airtight container. Keep in a cool place. Keep fruitcake at least a week before eating. Flavors will blend and become mellow. Make fruitcakes for the holidays three or four weeks early. (Make them now and have a Twelfth Night Party!) i Chill fruitcake before slicing — ■it's easier to cut thin, perfect slices.

Santa Claus arrives early at Bowen Center Santa Claus arrived early this year, passing out gifts at the two Christmas parties hosted by the Kosciusko County Mental Health Association for clients and patients of the Otis R. Bowen Center. The After-care group of 34 clients gathered at the Center Lake Pavilion on Wednesday, Dec. 17, where they were entertained by Don Ogden and Jane Henry at the piano. Homemade cookies and punch were served by MHA vofiihteers. Elaine Burdick, Jerry Schildreth, Doug Garrard, Cindy Tennant. Willodean Leiter, Maxine McMillan, Sally Kaufman and Julie Eckhold. Then Santa (Al Abbott, art therapist from the Bowen Center) passed out gifts which were donated by Christmas-spirited community organizations and individuals. The party for In-patient and Partial Hospital clients was held last Thursday, Dec. 18, in the Christmas-bedecked activity lounge of the Bowen Center. Santa Claus also made an appearance at the party and participants were entertained by a puppet show. The group ended the afternoon with Christmas carols. MHA volunteers who helped with this party were Adj Kitt, Beb Bibler, Marjorie Fowler, Karen Bean, Jerry Schildroth and Douglas Garrard. The two parties will be the only Christmas celebration many of these guests will have this year; the gift may be the only gifts they receive. The Kosciusko County Mental Health Association will be doing their Christmas shopping early in 1981 when they conduct their membership PHON-A-THON February 16-19. At that time MHA members will be calling county residents, inviting them to become MHA members and to support the programs provided by the association.
