Memorial library
By MABEL DAVIS
The Librarian
Books Received
We are indebted to Mr and Mrs.
Edmund White, recently returned
from Scotland, for a copy of H. V.
Mortons' beautiful book "In Search
of Scotland,'' which comes to the
library as a tribute to the memory
of Mr. J. J. Tarwater.
Other recent gifts include "History
of Women's Work in East
Hanover Presbytery" (Va.), which
came with the compliments of the
w rviip. Rich
autnor, Mrs. wimuw ??,
mond, Va., who is a native of War-j
ren County; "I, Jimmy Lewis,"J
Gabriel, given by J- Roy Overby;!
"The Story of Lucky Strike," Dyl
R. C. Flannagan; "Annual Report!
of the Rockefeller Foundation,'!
"Politics and Patriotism," by James I
M. Farler (a pamphlet); three!
books for boys, a gift of Hart Pin-!
nell; and a collection of Children's!
books to supplement our limited!
supply, from Mrs. Katherine Isbel.l
Raleigh.
When It Rains
July proved a record breaker in!
Warren County in two respects, the!
large number of rainy days and the!
number of books borrowed. I did!
not keep a record of the number of I
days when out-door activities had!
to be suspended. They were num-j
erous. Far more so than any one!
desired. But we have reason to be-1
lieve they were not a total loss to I
the Community. The records show!
that the book truck supplied 13491
books to patrons out of town, and!
the desk 1873 books and magazines!
in and around town- The total!
number of books lent during the!
month, 3222, suggests that ourl
friends were not very much bored!
by the weather. f
Library to Open in Littleton J
Rev. C. R. Jenkins, Chairman of I
the Lion's Library Committee, an-|
nounced this week that the Lion's!
have purchased suitable quarters fori
a public library for Littleton and!
will have things in readiness for the I
opening in a couple of weeks. That j
is a fine step for the Lions. We will I
be glad to lend them some of ourl
books to supplement their stock.!
and to render whatever assistance!
thev mav desire in organizing the |
library.

Making Fruit Juices
Described As Simple
Summer always brings an abundance
of fruit, much of which cannot
be marketed, yet is too valuable
to be thrown away.
The logical source for this sur-,
plus fruit, of course, is the preserving
kettle, says Mrs. Cornelia C.
Morris, extension economist in food
conservation and marketing at State
College. j
Juices form one of the most pala- j
table and healthful products derived
from fruits and berries- Easily'
and quickly made, the process requires
but little equipment.
Mrs. Morris pointed out that a
crusher of some kind is necessary.)
In making large quantities, a cider]
mill can be used, or if this is not1
available, a wooden crusher may be]
made at home.
If only a small amount of fruit
is to be handled, a potato masher
will give good results. Buckets for
holding the juice, cheese cloth and
flanned for straining, a large pan
for heating the frui'i, and a wash1
boiler for pastteurizing will complete
the equipment.
Only sound, ripe fruit should be
used. First, the fruit is crushed
to the simmering point, 180 degrees
F. Then it is strained 'through
cheese cloth and allowed to run
slowly through a flannel bag.
One cup of sugar should be added
for every gallon of juice. Next step
is pouring the juice into sterilized
bottles or jars and processing at the
simmering point for 30 minutes. If
bottles are used, they should be
capped before processing- When
jars are used, tops should be adjusted
and clamps raised. After processing,
the containers should be
sealed.
Instructions for making jams,
jellies, and preserves are found in
Extension Circular No. 113, which
may be obtained free upon request
to '.he Agricultural Editor, State Col
lege, Raleigh.

Giving a rough estimate yesterday,
Claude Haithcock. chairman of the
Warren County Board of Elections,
said he expected there were around
a thousand names on the books
which should come off due to death
or absence.
At their meeting yesterday the
commissioners did not consider the
question of holding the election,
but they had previously expressed
the hope that it could be held along
with the regular election in November
in order to save expenses.
The board adjourned around 2
o'clock until Monday when another
