So, sorry about that. Uh, I hit a but I hit a a power circuit thing and then it went everything blipped and so I apologize. So, anyways, uh, we will join the unidentified fruit film already in progress. California oranges are firm meat in the main course of a supper or lunch and meal. Asparagus, carrot strips, and tomatoes stuffed with cottage cheese. Introduce your family to a surprise. Whip sweet potatoes in orange shells. So easy to make, they fit into any meal. Whip the cooked sweet potatoes until fluffy with butter, salt, and plenty of orange juice. It's the day's yellow vegetable. Oranges and sweet potatoes, like butter, proclaim their richness in vitamin A by their yellow color. Thrifty grandmother flavored many of her dishes with orange and lemon peels. It is easy to grate clear skinned California oranges and lemons on this type of grater. With light strokes, take off just the outer peel, but none of the white. The outer peel holds the oils which give flavor and fragrance. Use grated orange and lemon peel in breads, cakes, pies, sauces, and desserts with orange juice. Orange peel is used here to flavor orange honey nut bread. Lemon mering pie, mother's triumph on the kitchen front. Meltingly tender, golden filling, mountains of meringue. The flavor secret is to add freshlysqueezed lemon juice to the hot cooked filling as it comes off the stove. A fluted orange cup is easy to make if you do it this way. Divide the fruit in halves by making zigzag cuts to center. Separate and remove meat from shells. You too can create a picture like this out of everyday fruit served in this fluted shell. This one adds grapes and apples to the base of orange sections. Another picture with foods. A fluted melon half holding orange sections and melon balls. A grape cluster and leaves complete the study. Fresh orange juice over other fruits, berries, bananas, pears, peaches. Here's a simple, quick to serve appetizer or dessert. The sweet spot on the year round menu is orange ambrosia. Orange slices sprinkled with coconut. Some add sugar, but these oranges are sugarsw sweet themselves. Would you like a glass of fresh lemonade? First step is to keep plenty of lemons around the house. And a good rule is to buy them by the dozen. One lemon to a glass ensures good flavor and puts a lot of vitamin C into this good habit drink. Sweeten to taste and ice till it's frosty. Add lemon slices, mint sprigs if you like, and cherries for color. One glass, two glasses. Drink all you wish. Plain lemon and water the first thing in the morning is a fine way to drink your daily health. Like Captain Porter sailors, this modern young woman believes in having her lemon ration every day. Orange juice should always be served full strength and fresh. It loses flavor when it stands. It is easy to prepare on this type of extractor. Serve it every day. It replenishes the vitamin C which the body uses up rapidly and does not store. [music] >> [music] [music] >> So they said Castle Productions, excuse me, which I don't think is the same as Castle Films. So um yeah, that was it. It it dabbled in some orange. It also dabbled in some other citrus fruits. Uh, this next film brought to us by Sun-Kissed is citrus in nutrition. Enjoy. [music] Heat. Heat. [music] >> [music] [music] >> In 1811, Captain Porter dictated to the ship's writer an historic letter addressed to the Secretary of the Navy based on his own experience in keeping fighting ing men well and fit. Experience gained while fighting pirate fleets off North Africa. As Captain Porter correctly stated, scurvy is due to the lack of fresh fruits and vegetables in the diet. Today, we know that these foods furnish a scurvy preventing vitamin C in which the official Navy ration of Porter's day was deficient. In his letter, Captain Porter said, "In the Mediterranean, where opportunities of providing fresh fruits for the crew were not so frequent, my vessel was constantly supplied with lemon juice, by which means my men were never affected by scurvy." He said further, "By a doubt, the most powerful remedy for this complaint is lemons or limes, with which the hospital department should always be supplied. The Navy Ration of 1811 was composed of foods which would keep on long voyages. Salt pork, cheese, hard attack, molasses. Today we know that these dry foods furnish plenty of energy or calories, protein, calcium, iron, vitamin A, and vitamin B, but lack the element which prevents scurvy. Captain Porter recommended to the Navy that lemons be added to this diet because he had found that lemons prevented scurvy. This preventive element in lemons is known today as vitamin C. As essential as it is, vitamin C is not the only vitamin required in the diet. The need for good nutrition has not changed since Porter's time, but it is better understood today. Nutrition authorities now recommend that certain foods rich in all the essentials be eaten every day. Milk, fresh or canned, and cheese, all rich in protein and calcium. oranges, lemons, grapefruit, tomatoes, raw cabbage or salad. Vegetables, some raw, some cooked, chiefly to furnish vitamin A, potatoes and other vegetables and fruits in season to give bulk and additional vitamins and minerals. Bread and cereal, whole grain products or enriched white bread and flour. These for energy and vitamin B, meat, poultry or fish, dried beans, peas or nuts as [snorts] sources of protein and the vitamin B complex. Butter and other vitamin rich spreads such as margine and peanut butter for more energy. Eggs to supply protein, fats, vitamins, and minerals, particularly iron. These are the foods that make up the adequate diet of the government's nutrition program. Eat foods from these groovy day. Plan meals to include them for good nutrition. The typical breakfast of toast and coffee is an example of poor nutrition, lacking in energy and in vitamins. To improve it, add a whole grain cereal, milk, eggs. Now we have adequate energy to begin the day's work and a good start on our mineral and vitamin quarters. But we need to add the morning glass of orange juice to supply vitamin C. Another typically inadequate meal is the meat, potato, and bread habit. Each a wholesome food, but as a meal short on vitamins. Green and yellow vegetables properly cooked put life and color, vitamins and minerals into this far better meal. Good nutrition also approves this new use of an old favorite, lemonade, as a beverage with a meal. Another appetizing way to get vitamin C. A hot dog and a bottle of pop for lunch may be all right on circus day, but as a regular diet, it falls far short of good nutrition. Pack a lunch with a punch to safeguard the health and vitality of both worker and school child. Whole wheat or enriched bread sandwiches with meat or cheese, eggs, milk, and fruit, particularly oranges, make an energy and vitamin fill lunchbox. Many lunch makers cut the orange in quarters or partially peel it for the convenience of the hurried worker. An orange is the ideal sweet to off the lunchbox meal. Ice cold lemonade in the lunchbox is a double duty drink that quenches thirst and knocks out fatigue. You can be sure this vacuum always comes back empty. The worker who wants his lemonade softener brings a small bottle of sweetened lemon juice from home. He has it handy for mixing his own whenever he wants it. He just adds water and serves himself. No meals are more carefully planned and checked than those of our fighting men. That's why you find oranges and lemons in the front lines doing vitamin Guard duty for health. At the same time that Captain Porter was obtaining lemons from the Mediterranean countries, Spanish missionaries were planting the groves of oranges and lemons in California's sunnyfoot hills and valleys. A new industry grew up that makes these fresh fruits available to American tables the year around. Both summer and winter, expert pickers clip the oranges and lemons, which contribute vitamins in their natural form to the nation's diet. Scientific care ensures fruit of an outstanding quality and flavor. The fruit is brought to the packing house, a large airy structure with a specially designed machinery and trained workers. Here, the dust of the grove yields to a bath of soap and water. Revolving brushes scrub it bright and clean. Now a rinse in clear water brings out the full beauty of golden skins. Warmed air dries the fruit. Then conveyor belts carry it to the grading tables. Here keen eyes and skillful fingers sort the fruit into the various grades. None but gloved hands touch the fruit from grove to shipping box. Only fruit of the finest quality meeting all the high requirements of sun-kissed may go to the trademarking machine. Like sterling on silver, the name sun-kissed on the skin of oranges and on the wraps of lemons is a guarantee of uniformly good and dependable quality. Sizing rollers sort the oranges into 10 sizes and drop them into bins. Size 200 means that 200 oranges are packed in a box. The quality is the same whether the fruit is large or small. Sizes vary with the season. Sometimes large, sometimes small oranges are more plentiful. The most plentiful size is usually the best buy. Packers wearing soft gloves wrap the fruit in tissue and place it in the shipping container. At every stage, the fruit receives the greatest care. Lemons are prepared for market with the same care given oranges. The specially equipped cars maintained at proper temperatures both winter and summer carry California's golden fruit to market. These fruits, once luxuries, are now staple foods, contributing their healthful freshness to every family market basket every day in the year. They may be served in many tempting ways. California oranges are firm meat, easy to peel and section. With a sharp knife, remove all skin and white inner covering. Cut on each side of the dividing membrane so that sections may be easily lifted out. These sections are the base for many tempting fruit cups, fresh fruit salads, and desserts. As you can readily see, California oranges are easy to slice. Again, use a sharp knife. Salad makers attention. To keep cut fruits, apples, bananas, pears, peaches, avocados from discoloring, dip them in lemon juice. This easy toake orange apple salad embodies color, freshness, and flavor. This all orange salad, a winter or summer fresh fruit favorite, brings more vitamin C to the table. A three salad plate makes a tempting balanced main course for a meatless meal. This one includes potato salad and a pepper ring, egg and cucumber salad and a pear. As good to eat as to look at is this novel orange and meat salad bowl. Serve as a buffet main course. Be sure greens are crisp. Again, color, flavor, freshness in this fruit salad bowl of peach, pear, raspberries, and orange. Wholesome natural fruit sugars make it a pleasing dessert salad. Lemon juice is a natural, ever ready to serve salad dressing good on lettuce with or without sugar or salt. Lemon juice is the preferred tart flavor to give both freshness and zest to all salad dressings. Lemon French dressing, oil, lemon juice, salt, sugar, paprika puts this combination vegetable salad into the higher brackets of good eating. A salad secret well known to chefs. Toss until dressing blends with every piece. With this orange, cottage cheese and grape salad. Some will like lemon French dressing. Some will like lemon mayonnaise. This salad may be the main course of a supper or lunch and meal. A fruit of many uses, the lemon brings out hidden flavors in fish, meats, beverages, vegetables, and fruits. For decorative garnishes, cut lemon with a sharp knife and scissors into plain or fancy slices. For flavor, offer juice providing quarters. A sharp knife prepares these quickly. Like salt and pepper, lemon is an essential seasoning. All fish and other seafoods call for lemon tartness. Ah, here comes the tea. Pass the lemon quarters. Lemon with tea, hot or iced, needs nothing else. It's the smart way to serve tea. Iced tea with lemon is as refreshing as a cool breeze on a warm day. A lemon quarter adds tang, freshness, and more vitamin C to tomato juice. Try it with other fruit and vegetable juices. Somehow melon seems sweeter and more flavorful with a dash of lemon juice. See how easily it is done. This lemon garnished vegetable plate is a healthful wellplanned main dish for the meatless menu. Served many like it. baked potato, spinach, asparagus, carrot strips, and tomatoes stuffed with cottage cheese. Introduce your family to a surprise. Whipped sweet potatoes in orange shells. So easy to make, they fit into any meal. Whip the cooked sweet potatoes until fluffy with butter, salt, and plenty of orange juice. It's the day's yellow vegetable. Oranges and sweet potatoes, like butter, proclaim their richness in vitamin A by their yellow color. Thrifty grandmother flavored many of her dishes with orange and lemon peels. Dishes with orange and lemon peels. So, this is [laughter] a full version of what we just saw. Okay. Uh, it took me a second. Uh, but then I recognized something and thank you for the comments about that. Um, so yeah. Um, I don't want you to watch that same film twice, but at least you saw the beginning. Um, yeah. All right. Cuz I watched, you know, first couple of minutes I scrub in when I watch stuff. I'm like, "Okay, well, these are different films." And they're like, "Nope, not quite." Okay. Uh, this film I showed a long time ago, but this is getting to the point. And the point is, uh, frozen orange juice concentrate. Um, I don't know if you remember, uh, I was thinking about trading places the other day and the commodities that that they were trading in was frozen orange juice concentrate. So, uh, this is a film about that. It's called Vitamin Rivers. Enjoy. >> Look, Dad. There's a crash landing. >> All right. Ned, stop that. You messed up all my work. I didn't hurt anything. >> Yeah. >> Now, what's going on? >> All pictures. They're not just old pictures. I have to be very careful of them. My teacher only loan them to me overnight. Besides, you better not have crashed landings if you want to be a senior pilot like Daddy when you grow up. >> Ann's got a mighty fine point there, son. You better take her advice. What are the pictures for, honey? Well, we're studying different kinds of fruits and vegetables in school, and I'm supposed to make up a notebook on juices. See all the material I collected? >> The story of fruit and vegetable juice, as I'm calling it, but I don't like that title very much. It doesn't have any oh, you know, glamour to it. >> Well, maybe we can get a better idea from some of the material you have here. Honey, what have you got? >> Oh, first of all, I'm telling that's where the drawings. Let me show them to you. >> Oh, say this is beautiful. What's that supposed to be? It looks like a Chinese palace. >> It is, Daddy. That's the court of the emperor Thaiu. >> Here's what my notes say. The orange was first mentioned in history about 4,000 years ago. It originated southern China and northern India. And this one shows how the orange moved south through India. The Hindus carried them in the rocks cart. >> Too bad they didn't have airplanes in those days. Would have gotten there a lot faster. Also, >> yes, much faster. >> Then it says the Arabs took oranges from India over to Southwest Asia. See this one? These Arabians are carrying oranges on a caravan trip through the Middle East with all the fruit loaded on their camels. People who lived on the southern shores of the Mediterranean grew oranges for hundreds of years before the crusaders brought them into other parts of Europe. And the first orange seeds are supposed to have come over to America with Christopher Columbus before sailing. This one I'm working on. This shows when other explorers came over a lot later, they found orange trees growing wild in Florida. So naturally they thought the fruit was native to this country. They didn't know then that orange trees can live and bear fruit for years and years. >> That's right an and you know all during that time the tree never rests. You'll see ripe fruit on the same tree with newly open blossoms. And then pretty soon those blossoms become oranges too. I learned quite a bit about fruits and vegetables in agricultural college. Well that was back in the days before I decided to become a pilot. Gee, Daddy, that's great. Maybe you could help me with my notebook. >> You want to put the old man to work, eh? Well, it should be a lot more fun than some of those arithmetic problems we've had lately, huh, Ned? What do you want to know? >> Well, first show me how to draw blossoms on this orange tree I'm copying. >> Oh, that's a cinch. Ned, run out the kitchen and ask your mother for a can of orange juice, will you? >> Okay, Dad. >> I think there's a pretty good picture of an orange blossom on one of those cans we bought today. Gee, Daddy, why didn't I think of that? >> Probably because you didn't bring the groceries in from the car. I did. Okay, what's next? >> Well, I haven't gotten very far. Let's see. I was going to tell how fruits are grown next. You know, where they grow best and all that. >> Oh, that's easy, too. Right here in the United States, we grow more oranges, lemons, grapefruit, and other citrus fruits than any other nation. In fact, I understand it's the biggest agricultural industry in Florida and California. Texas grows a lot of grapefruit for juice, too. And so does Arizona. >> Couldn't those fruit trees grow anywhere people wanted to plant them in this country? >> Afraid not, an you've got to have the right climate for one thing. Very little cold weather and lots of warm sunshine. That's the only way to grow fruits full of sugars that make them tasty and the vitamins and minerals that make them good for us. Soil is mighty important too. Why even in Florida the light sandy soil has to be carefully cultivated [music] so they can grow hardy fruit trees. And also seeds have to be selected very carefully. They have to be sure to plant the kind that will grow well in this type of soil. Oh, but nature's got a lot of tricks up her sleeve. Even with the right climate, good soil, and the right seeds, growers have still another problem. All these things may grow a fine tree all right, but it's not always one which gives the best oranges. So, the growers outsmart nature like this. When a row of young trees from their selected seed has grown enough so each tree has a strong set of roots and is budding well, they cut a small branch with lots of buds on it from a healthy tree which they know produces a lot of fine oranges. Then with a sharp knife, they carefully slit the bark of a young tree near the ground. Cut a bud from the branch that came from the heavy bearing tree and slide this bud into the slit good and tight. Over this graft they wrap a special tape for protection. Now after the tape has been removed and the bud has taken which means it has started to become a healthy branch of the tree. The top of the tree is cut off. Then when this branch has grown out a little more, it's trained up to act as the trunk of what will become a new tree. A year or so later, the tree with its sturdy, strong roots and a trunk borrowed from a tree that bears well is ready for transplanting to a grove where in a few more years it'll start bearing tasty, juicy fruit. Provided, of course, the water supply is watched carefully and growers make sure the trees are properly irrigated. And by regular sprayings, they keep their trees and the fruit free from insects which might harm [music] them. They also protect them from cold if necessary. Sometimes they warm the air near the trees with heating units when the temperature gets close to freezing as it does once in a while on wet evenings. [music] And in some places they use large wind machines to circulate the air over the grove and keep the trees and the fruit warm. You've heard a lot in schooland about vitamins, minerals, and carbohydrates. Well, oranges are packed with all these, plus fruit sugars that give us energy. They naturally have the greatest amount of these when they're ripened on the tree and picked at the peak of their goodness. Like any fruit though, the orange is perishable when picked fully ripe, and it has to be eaten or canned within a short time. One of the most interesting parts of my college work was to follow through from the time they loaded the trucks and the orange groves on through the canning process. One of the men told me that the oranges they use for canned juice. The canery is usually only a short distance from the groves, so there's no delay in getting the juice in cans once the fruit is picked. And with orange juice so popular these days, more and more of the crop is going into canned juice. Let me tell you how they do it. At the canery, the oranges are unloaded from big trailer trucks onto a conveyor. This sometimes takes them into storage bins just temporarily, or it carries them right on through a cleaning and inspection process. After they've been cleaned [music] thoroughly and had a careful check for quality, they roll along to what are called the juice extracting drums. Here they roll into cups on the drums just the right size to hold them [music] and are sliced in half as the drums go around. On similar drums underneath these are some inverted cups which press against each half of the orange and squeeze out the juice. Then it pours down into a stainless steel trough through machines which strain out the pulp and seeds. And these along with the peels are used to make fine cattle foods. Now that's one way I've seen canners extract the juice. However, another canery I went through once used extractors that hold the orange in one half almost like a half while the other half comes down under pressure and squeezes under each orange being squeezed punches a hole in it and as pressure is applied to the orange. The juice flows down through this tube and out into a trough which takes it to other processing machines. Oh, it really makes you thirsty when you see large stainless steel tanks in [music] the mixing room full of freshly extracted juice. Some is sweetened here for folks who like it that way. And some is blended with grapefruit [music] juice, which makes another wonderful drink. And from here, the juice disappears into large tanks where they take out the excess air it picked up when being squeezed. They told me that if the oxygen in this air was allowed to remain, it might react with elements in the juice to reduce its flavor and lower its vitamin content. Then the juice is piped quickly into pasteurizing machines where it's heated to destroy any enzymes and spoilage bacteria, but of course not enough to destroy its flavor or goodness. Now the juice is all ready to be canned. You know, the skin of the orange is nature's way of preserving all the goodness of the fruit until it ripens on the tree. Then when it's picked, it has to be used in a short time. But man has improved on nature. He's provided a container in which all that goodness can be sealed in indefinitely, or at least until we're ready to enjoy it. That's what canning really means to everyone. And is it fast? Why? The modern machines canners use fill and hermetically seal juice in cans as fast as you can blink your eyes. >> Here's a can you wanted, Dad. >> Thanks, son. >> But it's empty. >> Yes, I see who emptied it. This little tin can is something you should really feature in your notebook and because its development and the processes for sealing juice in it are largely responsible for the great expansion of the fruit and vegetable industry in this country giving support to hundreds of thousands of people. Also making it so easy for people all over the world to enjoy fruit juices whenever they want. Look, here's an orange blossom you can copy in your notebook. >> Oh, it's perfect. And you're right about them growing oranges for juice in California. Daddy, it says that's where this juice came from. >> Mhm. >> I wonder how oranges got started there. >> Well, the Spaniards settle both in Florida and California. So, I guess the orange went both places with them. However, growing oranges in both states is pretty much the same, even though they do have mountains in different soil conditions in California. California also grows other fruits for canned nectars that are mighty good to drink like apricots, pears, and peaches. I'll tell you another mighty interesting thing about this business of canning juices. Even though it's comparatively young, some amazing things have been done in recent years so that more juice can get to more people. For instance, frozen concentrated orange juice, like several other juices that are concentrated, canned and frozen, is juice from which a lot of the natural water has been removed. Of course, it must be kept under refrigeration, but when it's canned, it needs much less shipping space to mark it. When you want to serve it, you just put the water back in again. Stir it well and presto, you've got wonderful tasting orange juice. Don't you remember seeing mother do it? >> Oh, sure. Lots of times. >> Which reminds me, let's go see how dinner's coming along. >> Yeah, I'm stuck. >> Oh, hello. Are you all getting hungry? >> Well, I'm in no hurry, but I am thirsty. You mind? >> Not at all. Have your pineapple juice now, An. It'll save putting it on the table. >> Well, I see you already have your favorite juice, young man. And put these cans in the refrigerator, will you? >> Okay, mother. >> Gee, this family certainly likes a lot of different juices, mother. Well, I can't think of a better way for us to get some of the vitamins and minerals we need every day. >> Daddy, is the grapefruit a lot older than the orange? It's sure a lot bigger. >> It's probably the same age, Anne, but it's only been grown in this country about a hundred years, and it's been grown commercially fewer years than that. Large quantities of grapefruit first came on the market after some severe frosts practically put the orange out of business back in the 1890s I think it was. Growers tell me they were originally called the shadock after the man who introduced the tree but their popular name grapefruit is gotten from their habit of growing in clusters somewhat like grapes. That grapefruit juice mother's drinking was probably squeezed in the same way as the orange juice. Fact is, grapefruit was the first to be commercially processed for juice. Just >> and it tastes good, too. So does this pineapple juice. Bet you don't know who discovered the pineapple, Daddy. >> Oh, yes, I do. Well, the same man who discovered the Hawaiian Islands. Old Captain Cook. >> Captain Cook? Oh, no, Daddy. The pineapple is supposed to have been there already. >> Oh. In school, we were told pineapples are native to South America and that there's an old story that some Spanish ships full of pineapples were shipwrecked near Hawaii and some of the fruit flow to the shore on the island. >> Sure, I remember. Now, the pineapple did originate in in Brazil, I think it was. Yes, the natives called it nana, meaning fragrance. Then, as you say, there are lots of stories about how it got to Hawaii. But anyway, today raising pineapples is one of their most important industries. The fruit in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Cuba, and several other places. I remember when I was based in Hawaii, noticing how carefully they cultivated the fields. Sugar cane is planted in the lowlands and pineapple in the higher fields. After the ground is cultivated, rolls of mulch paper which is very much like a light roof and the pineapple plants are put in the ground through holes made in the paper. This paper keeps in the moisture and it regulates the temperature and keeps weeds from growing. Then follows about a 20 to 22-month growing period. Rain and lots of sprayings help to keep the plants healthy. Pineapples are not grown from seed, but from slip near the base of the fruit, from suckers that are lowered down on the stem of the plant or from the crown on the top of the pineapple. About 20 after planting, the ripe fruit is ready for harvest. Each plant will produce another pineapple one year later, and then the field is plowed under and allowed to rest. Ripe pineapples are wonderful tasting, but if they pick them when they're completely ripe, pineapples will spoil in a short time, or rather would spoil if it weren't for the canning process. Is used for juice has been fully ripened in the fields. This way, it has the most fruit sugars and the finest flavor. And when picked, they're quickly moved to the canery nearby. During the picking season, thousands and thousands of pineapples pour into the canery every day. There, an ingenious machine known as the Janaka peels the fruit so that the juice like you're drinking now an can be easily extracted. Then it's pasteurized like other juices, sealed in cans and started on its way to our house. Say, you better not leave this juice out of that notebook. Honey, tomato juice was one of the very first juices to be introduced. And tomatoes are grow parts of the country. Hey Ned, remember last year we had them in our garden? >> Yes, but they weren't Jewish tomatoes. Only way we got them was in our salad. >> Dear, it's a lot more convenient for us to get our tomato juice in cans already to serve. But maybe daddy will plant more this year and squeeze some for you. No, I'd never be able to turn out the wonderful tomato juice like a tractor. A man sits on each side of it down almost at ground level where he can place young plant the soil at just the right distance apart as it moves along. At the same time, the machine neatly fills in the soil around each plant and also gives it a squirt of water and sometimes fertilizer. Then they're all set to start growing. Plants like that grow perfectly right along the ground and with proper care. In a few months, we'll be loaded with ripe red tomatoes. If these tomatoes are for canned juice, growers can let them fully rip so they'll have the most flavor and food value. and picked them at just the right moment for trucking to a canery nearby. It's quite an interesting sight to see thousands of these fully ripe tomatoes [music] being unloaded at a canery into a water-filled trough in which they float from the unloading platform [music] right into the plant. Inside they first get a really thorough cleaning, of course, and then are carefully checked for quality as they ride along an inspection belt. Next, the whole tomato is passed along to other machines where all its goodness is pressed into liquid form from what are called holding tanks. This juice is drawn off to be pasteurized the same as other juices and then filled and sealed quickly in the cans. All this in a matter of only a short time after the tomatoes were judged just right for picking. Well, kids, I've talked myself right into another glass. >> I'll get a juice, son. Get him a clean glass. Ant, >> I like all kinds of juices. >> Oh, you do? Well, I'm glad to hear you say that, young man, because they're all rich in the food values we need to stay healthy, no matter how young or old we are. say, you know, an it seems to me the titled You Want book of yours should express what canned fruit and vegetable juices mean to us and to people all over the world. Don't forget, besides these juices we've been drinking, there are lots of other kinds to enjoy made from [music] grapes, apples, prunes, and several kinds of vegetables. And just think how convenient and healthful it is for us to have all the vitamins and natural goodness of these fruits and vegetables extracted for us, canned, and then practically flowing into own home like a lot of rivers anytime we want them. Why that's it? Why don't you call your notebook on juices Vitamin Rivers? >> Oh, Daddy, that's a wonderful idea. So, I guess this is just for canned fruit juice and not frozen uh orange juice concentrate. Uh these commercials that I have lined up for a brand that I just barely remember as a kid, but um doesn't I don't think it exists anymore. Uh Orange Plus. Uh, here's a whole bunch of uh ads for or orange plus. Enjoy. >> This is the container freshsqueezed orange juice comes in. This is the container bird's eyee frozen orange plus comes in. This is a glass of freshsqueezed orange juice. It's sweet, loaded with pulp and tastes better than frozen orange juice. This is a glass of bird's eyee orange plus. It's sweet, loaded with pulp, and tastes better than frozen orange juice because it's half orange juice, half flavor improvers. Bird's Eye Frozen Plus. Take away the containers, and it's hard to tell the difference. Bird's Orange Plus proudly hails the Florida Orange. The orange smells like, looks like, even has as much pulp as Bird's Orange Plus. The orange tastes better than frozen orange juice and just as good as bird's eyee orange plus which is half orange juice half flavor improvers. Unfortunately, the Florida orange doesn't come in a can, so it's not as easy to use as Bird's frozen orange plus. Orange Plus takes you back to the flavor of fresh orange juice. Orange juice is sweet. So is Orange Plus. Orange juice is loaded with pulp. So is Orange Plus. Orange juice is delicious. So is Orange Plus. Because Orange Plus is half Orange juice, half flavor enhancers. And furthermore, Bird's Eyes Orange Plus is as convenient as frozen orange juice. Orange Plus, it tastes too good to come in a can. Orange Plus takes you back 26 years. 1945, fresh orange juice, sweet and loaded with pulp. 1947 frozen orange juice phase 1. It was convenient. 1965 frozen orange juice phase 2. Better not perfect. 1971 frozen orange plus. It tastes, smells, and has pulp like fresh orange juice because [music] it is half orange juice, half flavor enhancers. Bird's eyes orange plus frozen concentrate for imitation [music] orange juice. Science takes a giant step backward. These two women don't agree on how to start the day. Mrs. Buffer drinks the leading frozen orange juice. Mrs. Dolce drinks orange plus frozen concentrate for orange breakfast beverage. We asked each woman to try to convince the other to change her brand. >> When you go to the supermarket, what do you see the most of in the juice section? Right. >> No, I always see Orange Plus.
