By District Supervisors Soil Stewardship Observance Set By ULUNAJU) KiLiAIN District Technician U. S. Soil Conservation Service This year we will observe Soil Stewardship the week of May 27 to June 3. This will remind us of our benefits and responsibilities to our natural re sources. Tiie Warren Soil and Water Conservation District supervisors have wisely decided to participate in Soil Stewardship Week by providing conservation brochures to our local churches. These pamphlets may be used as bulletin inserts on Sunday, May 27, the first day of Soil Stewardship Week or on Sunday, June 3. The theme this year is "Conservation—A Com mon Commitment." It should stimulate us to be more dedicated conservationists. Soil Conservation is essential to produce adequate food and fiber needed by this world's exploding population. Conservation is the wise use of our natural re sources in a way that does not destroy, damage or waste them. Good conservation is not only the ap plication of engineering practices such as grass waterways, terraces and field borders, but also practices such as no-till planting, contour farming, crop residue management and strip cropping system. A good conservation cropping system includes small grain, grass and hay crops in rotation with row crops. We need to make a comprehensive ap proach to achieve the ultimate protection of our natural resources. Conservation not only protects our natural resources, but also improves the aesthetic value of our landscape. It is a pleasing scene to ride through the country treated with practices such as lush pastures, contour farming and strip-cropping. May Soil Stewardship Week encourage us all to become better guardians of our natural resources. With proper conservation we will have adequate food and fiber now and for generations in the future. e •t Miss Emily Ballinger, (left) home economics extension agent, and Miss Catherine Brown, president of The Warren County Extension Homemakers Council, congratulate Kelly Jo Ayscue (center), a recipient of a MOO scholar ship awarded by the North Carolina Extension Homemakers Association, Inc.

Miss Emily Ballinger, home economics exten sion agent, gave the pro gram on food safety and food preservation. She stated that one of the causes of flu or viruses may be the improper handling of foods or im proper storage of foods. Foods should not be left out on the counter or picnic tables for more than two hours. Anytime after that, bacteria has a chance to build. She also stated that it is safe to store hot foods, such as stews or soups, in the refrigerator. But she cautioned that they should not be stored in large pots or containers because the outside of the container or pot will cool while the middle portion retains its heat, thus allowing bacteria to build. The container used to store food in the refrigerator should not be more than three inches deep. Cold foods should be kept below 4Q degrees slnd hot foods kept above 140 degrees. In other words: keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot. Miss Ballinger also stressed that if these methods are followed, we would be able to benefit and enjoy nutritious and ap petizing meals without fear and complications of food poisoning. As usual, the program was very interesting and educational.
