Tips on Storing Vegetables
And Fruits Through Winter
If you’re not into home
canning or freezing, you still
may be able to keep fresh
fruits and vegetables for use
later, even as late as early
spring. That is, if the winter
temperatures in your area
average 30 degrees or lower.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture has a booklet
that explains how to adapt
your basement, cellar, out
buildings or garden so that
you can do some storing
without refrigeration. For a
copy of Storing Vegetables
and Fruits send 40 cents to
the Consumer Information
Center, Dept. 37, Pueblo,
Colorado 81009.
A well ventilated basement
under a house with central
heating can be used for
ripening tomatoes and for
short-term storage of pota
toes, sweet potatoes and
onions. But, to store vege
tables and fruits over the
winter in a basement that has
a furnace, you’ll need to
partition off a room and
insulate it.
Cellars under houses with
out central heat have long
been used successfully for
winter storage of fruits and
vegetables in colder parts of
the country. These cellars
usually have an outside
entrance and a dirt floor.
Apples, pears, grapes, and
other fruits stored in these
cellars absorb odors from
potatoes and certain other
vegetables. So, it’s not
recommended to store fruits
and vegetables together.
The length of time that
apples can be stored depends
on variety, maturity, and
soundness at harvest, and
storage temperature. For
long-term storage, the tem
perature should be as close to
32 degrees F. as possible.
Varieties that mature in
September, like Grimes
Golden and Jonathan cannot
be kept long. Golden Deli
cious, Delicious, and Stay
man will become overripe in
3 to 4 weeks if temperatures
are not below 50 degrees F.
Late maturing varieties such
as Yellow Newton, Winesap,
and York Imperial are best
for storage in the home.
Apples keep best in cellars
that can be cooled by frosty
night air in fall and can be
maintained at a low tempera
ture (about 31 degrees F.)
until early spring.
But they must be protected
from freezing and shriveling.

bags and liners can help
prevent shriveling of all
varieties of apples especially
Grimes Golden and Golden
Delicious. Don’t seal or tie
the bags or liners; and make
sure there are a dozen or so
holes in them to permit
ventilation and to maintain a
desirable humidity.
The booklet also includes a
table which lists many fruits
and vegetables and gives
specific instructions on the
best methods for storing
them.

ROXILU K. BOHRER
County Commission
POST 1
To all voters of Butts Cos.
Win or lose, I have been enriched by this
long, hot race. I have made many new friends,
been in parts of the county I’d never seen
before, and met some mighty fine people.
A BIG “THANK YOU” to all of you-old
friends, new friends, and kinfolks, who have
given me encouragement and support and have
spoken to friends in my behalf. I deeply
appreciate your trust and will strive always to
be worthy of it.
A BIG “THANK YOU” to the ladies of the
D.A.R. and U.D.C., for the loan scholarships
which enabled me to work my way through
college during the Depression of the 1930’5.
HERE’S WHAT I STAND FOR:
Better management so that we get the most services for the least money.
Better accounting procedures. Publish spending by departments so you can see
where your tax money goes.
Taxes must be fair and equal, and as low as possible. We must work with our
state legislators to see that tax laws are applied fairly throughout the state, so that
Butts Countians are not paying more than their neighbors.
Open meetings, held at a time most people can attend. Publish minutes in the
paper and make them available quickly to WJGA.
See that roads and bridges are kept up properly, ditches cut, roadsides mowed. A
good superintendent at the county barn to see that work is organized and that work gets
done promptly. Road signs throughout the county.
Aggressively seek federal funds for public works, to improve our county and cut
down unemployment.
See that all county equipment and property, including the courthouse, is kept up.
Set aside certain times when I will be available at the courthouse to listen to
anyone who comes in—at least one day and one evening or Saturday. See that ALL
county employees show a spirit of helpfulness and service.
All new positions with the county will be filled strictly on the basis of ability, not
friendship, kinship, color, or religion of the applicant.
Work closely with city governments—Jackson. Jenkinsburg and Flovilla, so that
people’s needs don’t get lost in the shuffle of whose responsibility it is. city or county.
Have a representative of city councils of each city at commission meetings, and vice
versa, to promote closer cooperation.
YOUR ideas and suggestions will make our county a better place to live, as we
plan together for orderlv growth and development in the coming vears. YOU SHOULD
HAVE A VOICE IN HOW OUR COUNTY IS RUN! I’ll listen to your ideas, and do my
best to get action on those that are feasible.
YOUNG PEOPLE, WE NEED YOUR IDEAS AND HELP, because you ARE our
future, and you’ll be here a lot longer than some of us.
BLACK PEOPLE. WE NEED TO HE.AR YOUR IDEAS AND CONCERNS .AND
UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATIONS, and give you the opportunity to be a real
force for good in our county.
MIDDLE-AGED PEOPLE. WE NEED YOUR MATURE EXPERIENCE AND
PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS, for you are the backbone of our county and our country.
OLDER PEOPLE. WE NEED TO HEAR YOUR WISDOM AND NEVER LET
YOU FORGET THAT YOU ARE IMPORTANT TO US! Many of you are living on fixed
incomes and inflation and high taxes are gobbling up your limited funds. We MUST
find ways to lighten your load and make your retirement years better.
Many of you have offered me suggestions—too many to list here, but I’m keeping
the list and adding to it daily as I meet more people.
Some ideas of my own:
Prevention of the ‘‘Silent Killer”, high blood pressure, by clinics held on certain
days throughout the county in the churches, country stores, or precinct houses. Health
education so people will know how to prevent high blood pressure.
Encourage young people to participate in county government. Work with the
schools to develop a unit on ‘‘How our county is run” and encourage classes to visit
commission meetings, to discuss issues and participate in plans for the future.
I sincerely hope I get to talk with you before Aug. 10. If I do miss seeing you,
please understand that I DO want your vote, and I want your help to make our county
better!
Roxilu K. Bohrer
