Dear Louisa. 1 have a very dear friend who has been my companion on several long trips since the death of both our husbands. On the most recent trip she was taken ill and we were compelled to cut our travel short by several countries. Now my problem is this: She is eager for us to plan a trip to the Orient-just the two of us-but 1 am afraid that she is not up to such a long tour. What can 1 say to her? I don’t wish to frighten her by suggesting that she might get ill or pass away in a foreign land. On the other hand, 1 would feel unable to cope with such a situation if such a thing should happen. What would you

Or perhaps a better plan would be to consider a cruise on a ship, which carries a good physician abroad. A cruise is not as taxing as a tour which calls for a great deal of walking. You did not say by what your friend’s illness was caused. The cause of that illness should have a lot to do with your decision. Louisa Address: Louisa, Box 532, Orangeburg, S. C- 291 IS

Blanch Kline remains *7 active Syracuse resident

By DEB PATTERSON Staff Writer Blanche Kline, 94, Benton St., Syracuse, has lived in the Syracuse are- all her life and was active in community activities up until two years ago. She was bom and raised in the Syracuse area, in the first house east of Zion Chapel United Brethren Church south west of Syracuse. She married Esten Kline and the couple lived in the same house she grew up in. She lost her husband in 1940 and continued her active involvement in social, civic and church activities. Mrs. Kline was a school teacher in the one-room school at Vawter'Park for four years. She was in charge of all eight grades and sometimes had only 10 minutes for each class. “If I was lucky I would have 15 minutes for a class.” Following the death of her husband she went to work at the Wilt Factory, formerly located in the Syracuse Enterprise Building, where the current Syracuse Lake Condominiums are located. She started working there, making cedar boxes in 1941 and retired in 1957. In December 1965 she moved into Syracuse and her present home. Mrs. Kline has kept busy since her retirement by reading anything and everything. She has

door closed and dry ice, the food will stay frozen 1 to 3 days, even in summer. Thawing rate depends on many ? factors: 1. The amount of food in the freezer. A full freezer will stay cold longer than one partially full. 2. The kind of food in the freezer. A freezer full of meat will stay cold longer than one full of baked goods. 3. The temperature of the food. The colder the food, the longer it will stay frozen. 4. The freezer, a well-insulated freezer will keep food frozen much longer than one with little insulation.

kept track by making a list of books she has read. When she is not reading she may be helping any of her eight great-grand-children with their school work. Recehtly Mrs. Kline and great-grandson, Chris Solina, assembled a family tree as a project for one of his classes. She remarked she doesn’t care much for television, however, she does have several soap operas she likes to watch. Until last month, Mrs. Kline lived alone and saw to her own housework. Now she only does her own cooking and has a hired girl from Huntington living with her. Mrs. Kline is the mother of six children, Rowena Brewer, Dewart Laker, Duane, deceased; Erba Gardener, Syracuse; Harold Kline, Syracuse; Lois Brown, Syracuse; and John, Goshen. She has 11 grandchildren. Growing up in the Syracuse area, Mrs. Kline remembers a lot of what has happened in the area. Among her numerous memories are when workers cut ice and shipped the blocks out on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the cement factory, and hauling marl from Waubee Lake past her home in the country. “I used to know the names and people who lived in Syracuse, now I see the names of the youngsters in the paper and I don’t know anyone.”

5. Size of the freezer. The larger the freezer, the longer the food will stay frozen. Occasionally frozen .foods are partially or completely thawed before you discover the freezer is not operating. Partial thawing and refreezing does reduce the quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. If food thaws before you discover that the freezer is oft, first, check the temperature of the freezer. If the temperature of the freezer is above 40*F, the food contains ice crystals, and has been helckat this temperature no longer than 1 or 2 days, you may safely refreeze the food. Fruits usually ferment when they start to spoil. A little fermentation will not make the fruits dangerous to eat, but may spoil their flavor. Refreeze thawed fruits if they still taste and smell god. Refreeze thawed vegetables only if they contain ice crystals. Bacteria in these foods multiply rapidly. Spoilage may begin before bad odors develop. Thawed meat or poultry may be unsafe. Examine each package. If odor is poor or questionable, throw the food out. Discard commercially stuffed poultry. Cook immediately any thawed but unspoiled meat or poultry. After thorough cooking this meat can be refrozen. Fish and shellfish are extremely perishable. Do not refreeze unless ice crystals remain. This food may be spoiled, even if it has no bad odor. <
