price, ranging from $3 to $5
for a 50-pound crate.
Spring cucumbers for the
fresh market was estimated
at about 6,000 acres, which
was about the same as last
year. The price opened at
approximately $3.50 - $4 on
the market and has ranged
from $1 to $4.50 on the mar
kets since the June 1 starting
date. Cukes were damaged
some by dry weather.
Late spring Irish potatoes
in North Carolina are ap
proximately 10,000 acres for
the fresh market, which is
about the same as last year.
There was some damage to
stands due to inclement
weather. However, most of
the crop is in excellent con
dition. The market opened
about the first of June with
a price of $3.50 per hundred
weight and has strengthened
somewhat to approximately
$4 to $4.50 per hundred
weight.
Early summer green pep
per acreage is estimated at
approximately 8,000 acres
over last year’s 7,700 acres.
The crop is in good condition
with some effects from dry
weather. Markets opened at
approximately $7 per bushel
and has leveled off at about
$3 to $4 for No. 1 green
peppers.
Spring squash has been an
excellent crop this season
with the price ranging from
$3 per bushel to as high as
$9 per bushel on our North
Carolina markets.
Food for
Thought
Bff Mmrjg Lee
It’s summertime, and the
outdoor eating is great—pic
nics at the beach, barbecues
in the backyard, or dinner on
the porch. But refreshing as
alfresco dining may be, it does
call for extra care in food
handling by homemakers.
Hot food must be kept hot
and cold food cold to maintain
flavor and wholesomeness. And
if you are taking food any dis
tance from home, you should
plan on a menu that travels
well. Eatables that can be
heated upon arrival or kept
icy cold en route are the safest.
For example, foods never to
hold for over three hours at
room temperature include all
creamed dishes, fish, ground
meat, eggs and mayonnaise
dressings. For storage of such
perishable foods, a tempera
ture of 42 degrees should be
maintained. Cooked foods
should not stand out after they
have cooled, either. Cover them
tightly and refrigerate or
freeze immediately. When pos
sible, divide a large quantity
into small containers to hasten
cooling. Store gravy and stuff
ing separately.
In spite of our vastly im
proved hygiene practices and
sanitation procedures, hot
weather is the time when food
poisoning reaches its peak be
cause people forget the proper
handling of perishables.
It’s essential to keep the
kitchen immaculate, and to
wash all poultry and vegetables
carefully. After you prepare
raw meat or poultry, be sure
to sanitize the cutting board
or surface before handling
other foods. Washing hands
often when preparing food is
another good health practice.
Never use any food, home
canned or commercially pro
cessed, that has a bulging cap
or lid, that leaks, has a rancid
odor, or foams or spurts when
opened. Home economists also
discourage freezing ground
meat. The meat has already
been exposed to possible con
tamination, and the higher the
percentage of fat in the meat,
the more rapidly bacteria
grows. Then, if the meat is
allowed to thaw on a kitchen
counter rather than overnight
in the refrigerator, it is still
more susceptible to contami
nation.

State Launches Attack On Tensions'
'RALEIGH—The weather and
“tensions” are ’two topics al
most everyone talks about.
And, although there is still
not a great deal one can do
about the weather, there are
a few things one might do to
help him live with his ten
sions.
There is no “miraculous
cure,” extension family rela
tions specialists, N. C. State
University, note. But here ere
scene suggestions that have
been helpful to others for
controlling or getting rid of
their tensions.
First, talk out the concern.
Talking about a problem can
be a great release. Select a
person to talk with whom
you trust, who is understand
ing and who will keep the
confidence.
Second, express \ feelings.
Let someone know your
warmth and love. Hostility
also . should be expressed in
some constructive manner.
Third, select some satisfy
ing recreation. Such diversion
can focus your attention cn
other things.
Fourth, do something for
someone else. This will usu
ally provide you with a warm
inter-action with someone
else.
Fifth, take a break from
work or take a vacation. No
vacation should be too full of
plans. It should be a time to
relax.
Sixth, develop a hobby.
Everyone needs a hobby in
which to forget himself.
Seventh, review your work
schedule. 'Re - evaluation of
vocational or homemaking
goals is an occasional neces
sity if we are to find a de
gree of self-satisfaction.
Eighth, be less critical of
self and others. Sometimes
we demand too much of our
selves and others. Instead foe
realistic about strengths and
weaknesses and learn to live
with them.
Ninth, loaf a little. Just to
feel one has nothing pressing
to do can be relaxing.
Then, seek professional help
if you feel that you are in' a
state of tension, that your
feelings about yourself and
your relationships with fam
ily and friends are affected* or
if your physical health is af
fected. ~ a—
