uUa/iietta § BFxW uUemos BsJB By MARIETTA F. HENRY Extension Home Economist wiJpfe & Removing food odors
How do you remove the odor of spoiled food from a refrigerator? It may not be easy — but here are some tips from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. First, wash the refrigerator with a solution of baking soda and water. Set an open box or dish of baking soda in the refrigerator for several weeks. If the odor remains, crush several charcoal briquettes in a dish and leave in the refrigerator for several weeks. If you can still smell the spoiled odor, replace the briquettes with an open dish of vanilla extract. If nothing helps, the insulation inside the wall may have absorbed the odor and it will be impossible to remove. You get this kind of odor problem if you’re away and the refrigerator goes off for several days. A more common problem is somebody accidentally leaves the refrigerator door open for a long length of time — such as overnight. Is the food still safe? Foods such as uncracked eggs, fruit juice, fresh vegetables, butter, margarine and hard cheese will be fine. Jam, jellies, salad dressing, pickles and olives will also be okay. When the door is left open, the refrigerator runs constantly to keep its temperature setting. If

For the American Lung Association, it means more than $2 million to prevent, cure and control such disease as lung cancer, emphysema, chronic

GROUSE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM — Arnold Karr, center, manager of Tri-County Fish and Wildlife Area, described the efforts of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources to increase the number of grouse in Indiana for the Kiwanis Club of Lakeland, North Webster, on Monday morning, March 21. With the speaker are Program Chairman Roger Coldren, left, and President Jack Maule, right. Karr pointed out that the grouse increase program has been successful in the Pigeon River State Conservation Area since it was started there in 1981. The lack of enough suitable cover in the TriCounty Area has made it undesirable for grouse. He used slides to show type of cover needed for grouse and kind of wire pens suitable for catching the birds for transfer and promotion of the increase program.
