“A Potato by
Any Other Name...”
“Pigs is pigs”, but potatoes are
chips, nuts, puffs, patties, granu
les, flakes and shreds. ;
One out of every six pounds of ;
potatoes consumed by Americans
today is in processed form, Mrs.
Lydia Fohn-Hansen, Alaska Ex- (
tension Service associate director
for home demonstration work, ;
said today. Use of processed pota
to foods in the U. S. is now nine
times greater than in 1940. The
U. S. Department of Agriculture s
research service plays a major
role in developing and improving
potato products.
Here are*some of the old, new
and yet-to-be marketed processed
potato foods:
Chips are the most familiar of
these products. To the familiar
chips are added chip bars, crush
ed chip candy, chiplets and po
tato nuts. These forms have not
reached commercial production.
The chip bars are on standby
status as a high-calorie, high-den
sity military ration. Chiplets are
a fried product made from thin
squares of potatoes dried and
partially reconstituted in water
before frying. The “nuts” one
fourth-inch diced potatoes fried
in deep fat.
Homemakers have long bought
frozen french fries. They may
also buy puffs, dice, patties, pota
to soup and chipped potatoes in
frozen form. Pre-peeled potatoes
are in some retail, markets.
Potato starch is used in instant
puddings—a new use for an old
product.
Dehydrated potatoes are popu
lar with Alaskan campers. New
est of these are the potato flakes
made from mashed potatoes dried
in sheet form and broken into
flakes before packaging. The
flakes are still being tested.
Available on the market are de
hydrated diced potato granules
and potato shreds. The diced po
tatoes are used in canned stews
and hashes.
Local Concern Named
Iron Fireman Dealer
The Valley Machine and Manu
facturing Company, located in the
basement of the Automotive Parts
and Equipment Co., has been
named dealers for the Iron Fire
man heating equipment and ac
cessories, it was announced this
week by company officials, Car
los Driggars and John Epplar.
The manufacturing company is
the most complete machine shop
in the city and manufacturers
straight-cut gears, conveyors, and
other type farm equipment. Most
of their work is done to the cus
tomer’s order. Future plans in
clude the manufacture of a com
pany product.
Driggars and Epplar have been
in business the past three years
and moved to their new location
this past fall.

The chuck holes around town
are causin’ lots of discomfort for
notorists and pedestrians. It’s a
:oss up to see who gets past the
water filled gaps first. If nothing
?lse sells the paving project bonds
the present street conditions
should.
* * *
A little patience now will be
greatly appreciated by the gals
3n the switchboard at the tele
phone exchange. Seems they are
doing lots of work for us by dial
ing there at the office so we may
reach parties we are calling. Cuts
down their efficiency about 100
percent, so don’t chew ’em out
when you don’t get immediate
service—your call may take even
longer to get through, and some
one else may be waiting for her.
* * *
Have you noticed the new look
in Koslosky’s Department store?
Has that “big city” appearance
now with most of tile shelves
down at eye level. The Trading
Post is re-arranging their dry
goods department so that custom
ers will be able to maneuver a bit
easier so if you don’t find those
work gloves on the shelf where
they used to be, wander around—.
they probably have a new site,
rhe Valley Store lowered their
shelves quite some time ago. First
thing we know we aren’t going
going to have any more country
stores in town.
* * *
Things I didn’t notice ’till now
department:
Several buildings in town dis
play the American Flag each day.
There’s one at each school, over
the Post Office, at the Experiment
Station, the American Legion
building, but none at the City
Hall. Would be nice to have one,
wouldn’t it? Also an Alaskan flag
if pnoueh funds were rounded ud.
* * *
Did you ever notice that one
of the Anchorage daily papers
often refers to the “Anchorage
area” on complimentary events
that occur anywhere within a 50
mile radius—and that Palmer
makes the headlines on adverse
news that happens most any
where else around here? I noticed
one story recently said a “fire
ball” hit near the city—further
on in the news item it qualified
it a bit by saying it was only 30
miles from Anchorage.
* * *
If you get a busy signal at the
police station, territorial police
ofice, or the office of the city
clerk—try, try again. They’re all
on the same number. How thrifty
can we get?
March of Dimes

Sears-Roebuck Foundation once
again offers ribbon and cash
awards to 4-H gardeners who en
