PAGE TEN tHlE ECSO July, l94'V Refilling News By JACK RHODES Yep, Fourth of July is over, and we are looking forward to anoth er picnic next year. Everybody seemed to have a igood time and enjoyed themselvesi ■at Camp Sapphire July Fourth. Saw Earl Gray in a tug-of-war, and there was no question which side won. Earl’s weight swung the balance. Wonder why “Jeep” Sledge and Jack Wilber insisted on standing guard at “Bud” White’s automo bile. Frank Patton was all over the lake and rifle range all day. He reminded me of an old maid at a wedding. President Straus’ speech was i greatly enjoyed by all, as usual. Of special interest was his an nouncement that next year Mrs. Straus would sponsor a baby con test. One little boy was being scold ed by his mother for eating too much popcorn and ice cream. I “Why, heck. Mama”, he said, “it I don’t cost nothing”, and went to I look for another cup of cream. I Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Leland Thomas on the birth of a| 8M! pound boy on June 29th. Moth er and son are getting along fine, and Leland isn’t having any more fainting spells. Clifford Gillespie had the mis fortune to fall and break his leg at work a few weeks ago, but now is at work, and recuperating nice ly. ^ We’re glad to have “Ikey” Cairnes back with us after a sick leave. Preacher Jones must be a “used- car dealer’s friend.” He is now sporting a practically new Ford, and to hear him talk, it doesn’t bum gas or oil, either. In ending, here are a few things seen in the Beater Room: Jerry Freeman trying to talk Frank Patton out of a pencil; Jim-1 my Sledge drinking his favorite, I Coca Cola; Bud White, eating | boiled eggs and drinking coffee; Charlie Reid, combing his hair; Jack Rhodes, bumming a cigarette; Ed Whitmire working Les Bryson to death; Cecil Whitmire telling another trout tale; Thad Newman and Jim Canup trying to beat each other to the wash room; and Paul Beddingfield, as usual, saying nothing. So long, folks. Finishing Touches A SHIFT By PEARLEEN BLANKENSHIP Our first week on days found Cecil Smith coming in late which is unusual with him. Well, a month of sleeping late every morn ing is apt to spoil most anyone. Why, Luclle Hawkins didn’t show up at all. Surely she wasn’t still canning peaches. We are glad to see Dessie Cos tanza back. Jessie Galloway has taken off to Ohio for two weeks, and Bob bie Marona is visiting her father in Washington. Martha Hemphill is one more happy gal since receiving word that her husband is returning from ETO. Also Nadine Mills and Faus tina Caldwell are on needles and pins, expecting their heart-throbs home any day. Betty Stewart spent a quiet week at home recently—doing nothing—nice vacation. Ada Reynolds is another from Pretty Bride Of George Oliver Taylor i Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Pressley of East Flat Rock, have announced the marriage of their daughter, Mildre.d Adaline, above, to George Oliver Taylor, son of Mrs. Ella Taylor of Mills River. They were marrie,d in Greenville, S. C., June 17th. Oliver Taylor Weds Hendersonville Girl Mrs. George Oliver Taylor was before her marriage in Greenville, S. C., on June 17th, Miss Mildred Adaline Pressley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Pressley of East Flat Rock. Oliver is the son of Mrs. Ella Taylor of Mills River and is employed in the Champagne Gumming department. Mrs. Taylor received her educa tion in the Saluda schools and Oli ver, a graduate of Mills River high school, has served 20 months in the Army infantry. They are mak ing their home in Hendersonville. Sweet News For Our Sugar-Short ’45 Home Canners I our department, who has been home on vacation. Frances Smith carried on in Ada’s place. I If anyone has a broom, or I brooms, for sale, Luther Ship man will pay one dollar each for all he can get, and no questions asked, he says. Frank Parker was called home from work a couple of times, be cause his father was very sick. Glad he is improving. Mr. Avery is back from a week’s vacation; said he enjoyed the rest. Estelle Orr (hardly used to her new name yet) has a happy grin, and no wonder, ’cause her hubby was home on a 3-day pass. Ronnie Orr is forever planning some big event, but it never goes through. Better luck next time. Merrill Capps says, sez he, “If Lillian doesn’t get her mind away from the Pacific, she’s gonna be ship-wrecked.” Ronnie and Dessie said they would be so glad when Maud Haynes grew up. See you ’round the comer! Home canners can get up to a third more jars of better-tasting, better-looking fruit from their scant sugar allowance by packing fruits in the new syrup-and-sugar blend. That’s big canning news in any year, and particularly now when sugar is scarce and food con servation vitally important. Peaches are ripe now. Use these prize-winning recipes to pack them away for next winter’s meals: SYRUP-CANNED PEACHES (20 lbs. fresh yields 8 qts. canned) Thin Syrup 6 1-3 cups water 2-3 cup syrup 2 cups sugar Medium Syrup 5 3-4 cups water 1 cup syrup 2 cups sugar Put water, syrup and sugar in Tsaucepan; bring to boiling point. Remove from heat, but reheat just before packing fruit. Select firm, ripe peaches; slip skins; cut in halves and remove pits. Pack raw fruit into hot jars, pit side down and halves overlapping. Fill jars to within half inch of top with hot syrup. Seal immediately according to type lid and jar. Process 20 min utes in boiling water bath. AT CAMP RUCKER Pvt Ander B. Hyder says in a recent letter, “I am stationed at Camp Rucker, Ala., and it’s very hot here. Wish I could be back with all of you, but there is still a war to fight. The Army isn’t so bad after all, but it will make a man out of you if you can take it.” Stork Cornleir Mr. Leland Thomas of the Re fining Room is the proud father of a son, John Mickler, born June 29, 1:30 A.
