Vegetables By Naomi Hubble, Home Demonstration Agent if you want to preserve the flavor, color, arid food value of garden-fresh vegetables and fruits, you have to be careful every step of the way — from garden to freezer or pantry shelf. In Athens, Miss Nell Thrash, food preservationist, Agricultural Extension Service, said the first thing to consider in aiming for high-quality fro¬ zen or canned foods is the use of recommended Varieties. “A lot of research has gone into this phase of food preservation and it is a shame for a home¬ maker to fail to take advantage of the results of the research and not use the recommended varieties. It is important to har¬ vest fruits and vegetables at the right time—too early or too late and the frozen or canned food will lose some of its goodness. Working up small amounts of produce at a time will allow the homemaker to finish the job quicker. Picked at the peak of flavor, vegetables lose that fla¬ vor fast and should not be al¬ lowed to stand long after har¬ vesting. However, the flavor of most tree-or vine-ripened fruits may be improved by standing overnight. Another advantage of working in small amounts is that the foods will ‘quick freeze'. If layer after layer of foods are stacked into a freezer it may take several days to freeze solid. One of the most necessary steps in the entire procedure is blanching. Under-blanching or over-blanching results in a poor food product. Selection of cir- rect containers—rigid ones for fruits and polyethelene bags ’ ANNUAL SINGING SUNDAY AT PINEY BAPTIST The annual singing at Piney Grove Baptist Church will be held Sunday, June 9 with dinner on the grounds.

C. Marine Air Station, was on his way home for a visit. Dwight McDevitt, who was rushing his wife to a hospital for confinement, said he had just picked up the young Ma¬ rine when the accident occured. According to a Knoxville News¬ paper, investigating officers said ihe top of the McDevitt car was crushed when a car driven by Dennis Ingle of Greenville skidded out of control, struck an embankment and flipped into the air before landing atop the McDevitt car, killing Mrs. Mc¬ Devitt and Gregory and serious¬ ly injuring the drver, McDevitt.

Bradley, State Administra¬ tive Officer, Georgia Agricultur¬ al Stabilization and Conserva¬ tion Committee. Virtually all farms must be visited by a rep¬ resentative of the ASC County Office to make an accurate measurement of crop acreages. Mr. Bradley stated that wheat acreage determinations have already been cpmpleted and that tobacco acreages have been de¬ termined on most farms but that the work of measuring oth¬ er crops on a majority of the farms is yet to be done. Be¬ cause marketing quotas are in effect, the acreage of tobacco, cotton, and peanuts on each farm must be measured. The corn acreage, in the 14 commer¬ cial counties must be measured in all farms whose operators wish to comply with their corn allotment to qualify for price support. This acreage must also be measured on any farm on (Cont. to Page 2) Jaycettes To Get Polio Shots At June 12 Meet; Will Also Hear Talk By Dr. N. H.
