Homogenized Milk May Be Home Frozen Housewives who'd like to have an "emergency" supply of milk on hand in their home freezer can satisfactorily freeze homog enized milk . in the paraffined containers in which it is sold. In a good freezer the milk should freeze solid in a few hours and if held at zero tem perature should keep its good flavor up to about a month, re port dairy specialists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The milk may bulge the sides of the containers slightly in freezing, but there is enough headspace that it won't break the seal. Housewives shouldn't try to freeze milk in bottles. Expan sion during freezing will push up the cap; there also is danger of breakage. Milk that hasn't been homog enized doesn't freeze so success fully. Freezing breaks down its natural emulsion so that when it's thawed it doesn't have the same consistency. It will sep- aratc into flaky particles and Phone 241 Engelkemeier Family Has Reunion At Church Sand ay Sunday, August 16, marked the third annual reunion for the members of the Engelkemeier family.
