NEW SCIENCE TRIUMPH
Thousands of years ago mankind learned to use
fire in cooking his food, but not until recently did he
leam another of nature’s open secrets—how to render
food imperishables by employing the same refrigeration
principle that nature uses in polar regions.
Although Arctic explorers have often testified to
the efficiency of 50- and 60-below-zero cold in keeping
their musk-ox meat and fish deliciously edible for
months in a frozen state, it remained for an American
scientist, Clarence Birdseye, to find the way to duplicate
polar refrigerators in warmer climes.
Years of hard work and experimentation have re
sulted in Birdseye’s perfecting a quick-freezing process
by which meats, seafoods, poultry, vegetables and fruits
are frozen at 50 degrees below zero in a manner that
does not permit them to lose any of their fresh flavor or
appearance, even though they are kept hard-frozen for
months.
It is through this process which Alaskans edibles
will one day be shipped to the marts of the world. More
than a year ago Col. Otto F. Ohlson, of the Alaska Rail
road, was in touch with people in the States relative to
this process in shipping reindeer meat. Alaska can
neries have been discussing the process for a couple of
years.
It is fitting, in this age of mechanical wonders, that
science has made a contribution to the food field com
parable in significance with the motor car, the radio,
the airplane, the motion picture and the other new and
important additions to life’s enjoyment.
A GOOD JOB DONE
—
Due thanks are hereby tendered the Bureau of
Public Roads for the splendid new steel bridge span- i
ring Resurrection River and the fine approaches there- i
to. Thanks are also extended to the Seims-Spokane
Company’s crew of efficient workers who performed
a meritorious task under conditions somewhat out of
the ordinary; building a bridge across a swollen stream
and, by keeping detours open continuously, permitted
traffic to flow without stop.
The personal and successful efforts of Mayor D. C.
Brownell in putting through the local road project across
the lagoon, are to be commended; also the jassistance
given him in support of the project. Mayor Brownell
is directing every effort toward better roads and streets
and the results are gratifying to the citizenry.
Wonder what the board-walkers in Florida would
say if they could see the street pajama-clad girls of
Seward? “Pretty hot up there too,” probably. A prac
tical and sensible garment, we think.
Even before the present intense heat wave struck
Alaska reports from Southeastern Alaska were to the
effect the “politickers” were making “hay” preparatory
to next year’s primaries.
A Fairbanks woman is said to have regained lost
speech after being stung by a mosquito. The husband’s
reactions are not disclosed.
We humorists (ah-hem!) can’t always be good. The
later Wickersham reports were not nearly so funny as
the one on prohibition.
When its berry-picking time in Alaska it is also open
season for insects to obtain free meals.
