Food Sense — Not Nonsense
Win the Pace wi
It wa a wise old tortoise who
taught the cocksure hire that a
rsie can be won at a slow pan-,
if that pace is dtearlv. This fable
also applies to weight-worriers
The race toward an ideal weight
It not won by a spurt or two.
How the steady [>are pays off
has been pointed up bv Dr. Her-
bert Pollack of New York I'ni-
versitv's Medical School Frnrn
exercise studies, he observed that
walking a mile at a slow gait uses
up about the same amount of
energy as walking the same dis
tance at a faster clip Instead of
running like a hare therefore,
one can plod along like a tor
toise and still burn enerjrv Even
without cutting calories. 10
rnds a year can he lost *implv
walking a mile every day.
When eicess fat i« recognized
•a stored energy waiting to he
used, then the value of regular
physical activity becomes appar-
ent. The tortoise wav of diilv ex-
ercise is steady, but not vigorous
Applying his method to one's
th /
daily
Pace
, Steady
activities can lead to suc-
Vcsi in controlling weight.
Small differences in daily hab-
its add up. Spending one more
minute a day sitting rather than
standing, for example, is enough
to cause a l()-to 15-pound weight
gain in as manv years even
though one eats no more food
than usual. To walk part of the
way to work instead of riding, to
climb a flight or two of stairs in-
stead of using the elevator—these
easy, wherever-vou-are forms of
exercise whittle the waistline and
use stored-up energy. In contrast,
the underweight individual may
want to cut down on these activi-
ties.
The weight- worrier with
pounds to lose will find that the
"Eat and (".row Slim" plan—to
''at less and exercise more — is
[wed for him He can achieve
his desired weight while eating
the foods he likes and needs each
day. su< h as: enriched and whole

When winter arrives nothing will give more satirfaction than the
knowledge that summer fresh corn on the cob i3 available in the
family freezer. Many gardeners will find that now is the time to
freeze late varieties of corn, and as a rule, these varieties are among
the best for flavor and freezing quality. .
Transparent plastic wrap is ideal for wrapping corn for the
freezer. Wrap ears individually or in groups of two or three, de-
pending on individual family needs. The use of plastic wrap for
freezing corn will make the Job of wrapping so much simpler. This
wrapping material which is ideal for so many foods for the freezer,
molds itself around the corn easily and makes it possible to force
out the maximum amount of air. Transparent plastic wrap helps
keep air out and moisture in. This assures the homemaker that the
corn she freezes now will be kept at top condition until she takes
it from the freezer later on. The wrap's transparency also permits
easy identification of foods in the family freezer.
In preparing the corn for the freezer, select only ears that have
slightly immature kernels and milk that is tliin and sweet. All corn
should be blanched before freezing. For steam blanching, small
ears—6V2 minutes: medium ears—8',^ minutes; large ears—10'2
minutes. If corn is being blanched in water, reduce the time by y2
minute for each size of ear. Here is the procedure for the whole
operation. First of all. husk the corn, wash and trim. Then comes
the blanching followed by chilling in ice water for 4 minutes. After
chilling, place the com in the refrigerator for from 10-15 minutes.
Wrap carefully in plastic film using the technique shown here.
