stored fresh vegetables.
These include lettuce,
carrots, cabbage, cel

parsnips and potatoes.
Green vegetables were
plentiful in the freez
er. All her foods were
stored in a neat, order
ly manner•
In the freezer the
foods were so arranged
that it wasn't necess
ary to dig throughout
things to find what v/as
wanted. The canned
foods were on substan
tial shelves, with food
of a kind together, and
so displayed as to eas
ily recognize what foods
were there’. But it was
the vegetable storage
room that was outstand
ing, and should have
special memtion. The
tfalls were well insul
ated—constructed to
permit free circulation
around crates and boxes
of vegetables. Cabbage
hung from above, carrots
were buried in sawdust.
A thermometer hung by
the door on the inside
■wall where temperaturo
could be checked and
regulated if necessary.

quantity for two. And,

have no difficulty in
discovering what was a
vallable for use.
Two kegs of sauerkraut
Were near the kitchen
