Noted Food Expert
To Give Demonstra
tion Tuesday, Dec. 1
Miss Gladys kimbrough Will
(Jive Demonstration Under
Auspices Of II. I). Work
A meat canning demonstration will
be given by Miss Gladys. Kimbreugh,
food preservation specialist, Tuesday,
December 1, at 10:00 o'clock in the
kitchen of the Bajitist church.
Miss Kimbrough has had a wide
experiencein foods. She has taught
food, and cookery; a former home
demonstration agent- broadcasting
tested recipes; and serving as home
economics laboratory director for a
national organization.
Miss Kimbrough has taught home
canning t0 large groups of women in
Ml) states and has met most of the
question that can lie asked about lood
preservation. l ne period lonowms
the demonstration will be used in dis
cussing the individual canning prob
lems of those who attend.
Mis.. Kimhroinh's demonstrations
are given under conditions and in a
w ay that can be repeated by the wom
en "in their own homes. Their kitchen
lu.mnmnnt 1Y1HV Vfll'V Widely. She
fcuvs "Hour many women real I v have
model kitchens? Very few. Then
isn't it important for me to show how
in ln the best that can be done in the
average home? Fortunately food can
be preserved perl ectly under rainei
tivp conditions. Modern equip
ment saves labor; modern mcthodfe
certainly save both labor and material.
IMir woik is to teach the best im thods
wnd practices now known. We present
those which can be used in any home. '
Home canning is a fine ait. The
term "Home Canning" may suggest a
lot of hot, hard work to some people,,
but those who see Miss Kimbrough
converting raw material into beautiful,
delicious jars of tempting food real
ize that it is one of the line domestic
ait Miss Kimbrough thinks that
good material, plus proper equipment
simple recipes and .sound' instructions
should always get good results.
This demonstration is not for home
demonstration club members only, but
for any woman in the county who
would like to attend and learn more
about meat canning.
