Food Preservation
Week In Progress
AH Os Jjis Week
Home Agent Urges AD
To Reduce Loss and .
Waste
W<«« Rebecca Colwell calls atten
tion to the fact that this week, July
19-24 is Food Preservation Week and
ahonld be observed by everyone. “A
continued effort to reduce losses and
waste might provide food for several
million people,” says Mies Colwell.
“Losses of food are caused by pests,
incomplete harvesting on farms, im
proper handling in transportation,
processing and storing. A large
amount of food is wasted in homes,
wholesale and retail stores and public
eating places.
“Growing food is important,” con
tinues Miss Colwell, “but preserving
it is of equal importance. If the
food is grown at home there is a
greater saving, but quite often it is
economical to buy foods in quantity
for canning, freezing or storing.
These are the methods of preserving
foods which are used most in this
section, and they are not difficult if
the recipes and recommendations
are followed. A few suggestions are
given here, but bulletins giving de
tailed instructions are available at
the home agent’s office.
“Although quick freezing foods is
a much newer method of preserving
foods it has proved to be one of the
most satisfactory.
Freezer locker plants and home
units can assist in improving the
nutritive value and palatability of
many foods and in addition help make
each home and community more self-

is equipped to give them the best

est modern machinery... experi

you operate one truck or a fleet

is possible since freezing preserves
the original quality of the fresh pro
duct and provides a means of con
serving foods raised in the com
munity.
“Home freezer units are excellent
for freezing small amounts at a
time of poultry, vegetables nnd
fruits, especially where the home is
£ome distance from the locker plant.
They do not provide facilities for
chilling, aging, curing meats, and in
most cases, for quick freezing foods
in quantity. They are very conven
ient when used in combination with
the locker plant to provide the de
sired services and additional storage
facilities. The home refrigerator
also provides larger space than ever
for storage of frozen foods. Care
should be taken to buy a standard
make which can be serviced locally.
“Vegetables to be frozen should be
carefully selected and sorted. The
quality of the frozen product will be
no better than that of the fresh veg- ,
etables selected. They should be pre
pared according to recommendations,
and frozen as quickly as possible af
ter they are gathered.
“Select the varieties of fruits that
are recommended for freezing and
those of high dessert quality. Avoid
undue handling and prepare as for
table use. Package the fruits and
freeze promptly.
“ ‘Avoid waste and conserve the,
surplus’ is the slogan that was adopt
ed by the Area Food Conservation
Committee at a meeting in Green
ville recently. This should be the
slogan of every individual in order
to save food for better nutrition, and
to help feed the starving millions.”

Reorganize Camp
District Manager Allen
J. Elliott Now living
In Edenton
Field Representative Allen J. El
liott, who is district manager of the
Albemarle District for Woodmen of
the World, announces that a camp of
the Woodmen is being organized in
Edenton. Mr. and Mrs. Elliott have
lived in Edenton for the past five,
months and expect to make- their
home here.
Many residents of Edenton are
former members of the Woodmen of
the World, which was active here
several years ago. For the benefit
of those who do not know about the
WOW, it is a fraternal protective
organization, which interests itself
in civic improvements, fostering
youth activities, and active mutual
helpfulness for its members. Along
with the fraternal activities, the
WOW offers insurance measuring up
to the standards of any commercial
company.
, Mr. Elliott states that there are
already many members in this area
who have affiliated themselves with
the organization, and any person
wishing to know more about it may
reach him at 221 East Queen Street,
telephone 219-J. The camp number,
NC1059, was assigned recently.
Any white male between the ages
of 16 and 65, of good moral character
and sound physical condition, is
eligible for membership. Also, there
is a Junior Woodmen camp for boys
under 16. Meeting dates and place
of meeting will be announced in the
near future.

May Warn of Disordered
Kidney Action
Modern life with its hurry and worry,
irregular .habit*, improper eating and
drinking—its risk of exposure and infec
tion—throws heavy strain on the work
of the kidneya. They are apt to become
- over-taxed and fail to filter excess acid
and other impurities from the life-giving
blood.
You may suffer nagging backache,
headache, dizziness, getting up nights,
leg pains, swelling—feel constantly
tired, nervous, all worn out. Other signs
of kidney or bladder disorder are some
times burning, scanty or too frequent
urination.
Try Doan’s Pills. Dooh’s help the
kidneys to pass off harmful excess body
waste. They have had more than half a
century of public approval. Are recom
mended by grateful users everywhere.
