The Colonials scored their first run in the sixth when Leary singled and scored on a double by Murphey. That dnded the scoring until the ninth, when four runs were scored. Raines started on the mound for the Colonials, but not in his usual form. He was relieved by Shahid, who held the Emporia batters in check. Lewis was the Emporia moundsman 1 and had the Colonials at his mercy until the ninth inning. With two runs scored, the bases loaded and no outs, he was relieved by Fernandez, who forced Trot Leary to hit into' a double play as the Colonials’ opportunity to wfn faded.

Grow And Conserve More Food Is Goal Os Club Women Food Leaders In Various Clubs Will Assist In Program Are you one of the many wise homemakers who has a good garden, and is canning or freezing food in or der that her family may be properly fed during the non-productive seasons which includes work periods, dry sea sons, and any time fresh food is not available? An adequate food supply tored in the home means balanced, lutritious meals for the family, and will be profitable in money and health. At the present price of food it is 1 doubtful that money will be available to purchase the necessary variety of fodd as it is needed. Every jar should be filled and the locker or home freezing unit well stocked with a variety of fruits, vegetables and meats. Make a food conservation plan or budget and use it as a guide in determining the amount and variety of food it will be necessary to conserve for your family meals during work seasons, and any time that fresh foods are not avail able. Follow this plan and make ad justments each year if food was pur chased that should have been con served at home, or if large amounts of food conserved were not eaten. The non-farm family may buy foods when they are plentiful and can or freeze them rathpr than pay the higher prices for out-of-season foods. Use safe approved methods of con serving food to reduce spoilage and to preserve food value. Information is available at the home agent’s office and she will arrange demonstrations for groups or homemakers and others who are; not accustomed to canning or freezing foods. The food conservation leaders in the home demonstration clubs will also assist with the food conservation pro gram to help provide an adequate supply for every family. Homemak ers may contact the home agent or one of the following leaders: Mrs. Iharlie Peele, county leader; Mrs. Woodrow Lowe, Mrs. George Smith, Mrs. B. P. Monds, Mrs. E. N. Elliott, Mrs. Hughes Bunch, Mrs. R. T. Har rell, Mrs. Ralph Dail, Mrs. Tommy Leary, Mrs. Carson Davis, Mrs. Mc- Coy Phthisic and Mrs. I. E. Halsey, Jr. The Secretary of Agriculture, Charles F. Brannan, urges farm peo ple to have more and better gardens, and all people to conserve more food, which will be needed and will con tribute material strength to national defense efforts. *5.00 Per Year. ► _ Unfit For Use From 7 P. M. Thursday to Noon Friday BEING’TREATED Users Urged to Draw Enough Water In Advance According to R. N. Hines, super intendent of the Electric and Water Department, Edenton’s water supply will be unfit for drinking, washing and cooking from Thursday night, June 14, , rom 7 o’clock to noon Friday, June 15. Users of water are urged to draw .nough water in advance to carry hem through the period mentioned above. According to Mr. Hines, the above condition is necessitated by the re quirements of the State Board of Health that water supplies containing iron and manganese be sterilized per iodically to eliminate red water. The State Board of Health is supervising this work and there is no reason for alarm, provided instructions are fol lowed. Mr. Hines says that when the chlorine content of water at spigots increases, this will serve as a warning not to use it for drinking, washing and cooking purposes. When the chlorine has dropped to the amount accustomed to, users will know that it is safe to use. Mr. Hines will be glad to fnrnish any information about condition of (water and he can be reached by tele phoning 55. The water at Westover Heights will not be affected by the treatment. Rev.
