This paper aims to investigate the problems on classification of merchandise information for home living. Four daily newspapers were used as information sources. Information was abstracted from these sources, and arranged into short sentences using data-base system. Eight students of Yokohama National University separately selected key words from 23 items of merchandise codes. Key words were put into key word fields of the data-base system. The deviation of key words was checked. Merchandise codes can be separated into five groups, from the point of correlation of 23 items of the key words. The information, which has difficulty in classifying, can be separated into two types ; one type involves a few key words in information, and another type is related to all sorts of merchandise.

In this study we tried a basic investigation to make bread preparation usable as a teaching material, which will be related to the studies such as fermentation and the characteristics of wheat flour. The results are as follows : 1. The increase of dry yeast amount to 3% (wheat flour basis ; 1.5 fold increase) was able to diminish the sum of the first and the second fermentation time to 30 min, i. e. about one-third of standard fermentation time. The loaf volume was larger when the second fermentation time was longer than the first. 2. Overnight fermentation of doughs in a refrigerator could substitute for the first fermentation and in this method the standard amount of dry yeast was most appropriate for preventing the formation of large holes in the crumb of bread. 3. When doughs were stored in a flat shape and in a frozen state for one week, it was suitable to use 1.5 fold amount of dry yeast and to thaw the frozen doughs at 35〜38℃ for 1h, including the first fermentation.
