Proper Storage Of Canned Foods Important Point Take a look at your canned products. Do your fruits and vegetables still have their bright color or do they look pale and unappetizing? Proper storage is an import ant point to conaider for any conserved food ? whether hom? or commercially canned. Miss Iola Pritchard, food conserva tion and marketing specialist for the N. C. Agricultural Ex tension Service, says canned foods should be stored in a dry, cool place and it should be rea sonably dark if glass containers are used. She says extreme moisture may cause metal cans and clo sures to rust thus shortening the shelf life of the product. The label may also be marred making important information unreadable. "High storage temperatures should be avoided," Miss Prit chard adds. "They may not af fect the wholesomeness of the product but they tend to impair color and flavor of some foods. Freezing may cause the cans to burst or break the seal. Too much light, especially on glass jars, will cause fading and dis coloration of the canned pro duct This within itself is not an indication of spoilage, but it does make the product less at tractive and often affccts the texture of the food." If adequate storage is avail able the shopper may save money by taking advantage of specials and by quantity buying. Canned foods also save time. Convenience in having easy-to prepare canifed foods available is important aince it may mean the difference between a well balanced meal and. "just food" for the family. Miss Pritehard says storage of food also has an indirect in fluence on the health of the family. Studies show that fami lies with a food supply readily available actually eat better, wall planned meals. Be careful of bargains! Too often, they are not worth the I money you put into them. . ; PI BPW Holds March Meeting The Boone Business and Pro fessional Woman's Club held its regular monthly meeting January 29 at the Daniel Boone Inn.

Bo?oe, N.C, JEAN'S PERSONAL COLUMN Dear Jane And Rachel: By JEAN L. RIVERS Before you read any further, presuming you turn to eur columns before reading any thing else in the Democrat, find the article concerning John Boone . . . one of our favorite people. A wonderful thing has happened to John and we are ever so happy for him. Of course ... he made it hnppen and that is all the more reason to be proud of him. At first, not knowing anything at all about Associated Merchandis ing Corporation, I was not as gleeful as I was was when I investigated and found what an important step this is in John's career. This company has 25 affiliated companies, among the more familiar ones in this sec tion are Rich's, Inc., Atlanta; Thalheimer Bros, of Richmond, Va.; Carson Pirie Scot and Co., Chicago; Bloomingdale's, and Abraham and Straus, New York; and Burdin's in Miami, Fla. They also have 13 foreign offices in addition to repre senting 8 other foreign com panies. This is big! The Boones will soon be mov ing to New York, and the only regret I have is that they will he leaving their lovely big house In Philadelphia. Barbara (John's nice wife) had recently finished decorating the 4-story, 7 bedroom house . . . doing most of the work, such as drap 1 eries, bedspreads and that sort of thing herself. She even made Roman shades, I think she call ed them . . . they sounded com plicated to make. ? She loves this sort of work and is so talented. For many months Barbara has been searching the country side for genuine anti ques, old wood, from which she has had unusual pieces of furniture made, brass and etc. She is a whiz! The Boones are the parents of four mighty nice youngsters, Debbie, Nancy, Johny and Dianne. Oh!

Jane, I'm very sorry to hear thst your friend, Mrs. Arm strong, was so seriously injur ed recently. I, too, feel it isn't fair to receive a broken back and ankle in a fall on the church steps . . . when going there to paint chairs. I sincere ly hope she will recover quick ly. Also, mighty sorry Connie had to delay her visit because of illness in her family. But . . . good to know you could go with Art to Atlanta for the week end. We will be anxious to hear about the trip, and from your friends there . . . the ones we know in particular. Rachel, I'm delighted the skirt I sent you is a perfect fit. I hope you noticed it was one of my better jobs of sewing ... not a single machine stitch shows on the outside. I became so entusiastic because the skirt turned out so well that I immediately cut out a cotton dress for you. I'm making no promises as to when you will get it, though I hope it will be soon. Knowing that changeable Missouri weather should en courage me to finish it as quickly as possible. You might need it any day now. This is being written Friday afternoon (March 8) since I have other plans for Monday, and to date I have had 17 calls since Wednesday concerning the cake recipe and the column in general. This is highly gratify ing and I do appreciate all the kind remarks. Two ladies were buying ingredients for the cake this morning, and to clear up a point for them and two other friends ... I use one small can of Pet milk, add the tablespoon of lemon extract, then add enough cold water to make one I cup. The full jup o t Pet make* an extra rich cake and I like it better when the milk It dilut ed. If any of you have other queations, please call me.

Tlie plays she saw were School for Scandal; A Man for all Sea sons; The Milktrain Doesn't Stop Here Anymore; The Hol low Crown; and Whose Afraid of Virginia Wolfe?
