Food Preservation Her Most ImDortant Project By LAURA BENDER :;Afton-Elberon-Vicksboro 4-H Food Preservation which in cludes both canning and freezing .is one of the most Important projects in which I am enroll ed through the 4-H Club. I ?have carried the freezing 'project five years and the can ning project two years. I have found that freezing and canning are two very econo mical methods of storing food. It is not only more economical fo do your own freezing and panning than to go to a store and buy them but it is much mpre convenient. ? :-If you follow the correct pro cedures in canning and freezing, you can preserve the color, flavor, quality, and most of the ijutritive values of the fresh fruit or vegetable. There Is no "out of season" for products from your garden and orchard If you have a freezer and/or storage area for canned foods. My Food Preservation pro ject has benefited me by helping me to acquire knowledge and skills that I will later be able to put to good use. It has also helped my family, es pecially my mother who really appreciates trusted help with this household task. In preserving fruits or vege tables, there Is a choice between freezing and canning. What you freeze or can must be decided on the basis of family needs jmd desires, on freezer space, cost of freezer storage, and on other storage facilities avail able. Therefore, we freeze what Home Improvement Is Girl's Choice For Project By LINDA HILL Ridgeway Com. 4-H : 4-H club members have a va riety of projects from which to choose the ones they would like to do special work in. I chose Room Improvement this year is one of my projects because ft fitted well into my home situ ation. We have recently added Sbme rooms to our house and L. wanted to do something to inake my room more tidy. I pijeded a place to put my hpbby collection, dolls, books, etc. When 4-H Activity Day was discussed In our club, my lead er asked me qjx>ut giving adem oostratlon. When I asked, tysr what can I do, she suggest ed I give one In home Im provement. She suggested make a book case and this would HftlP me in several ways. R Would give me somethln g to put In my room, it would pro vide a place to put my books aid I could learn how to re finish wood and show and tell others how I did It and make an Inexpensive bookcase. To make my bookcase, I got some unfinished boards and six teen smooth bricks. Daddy cut the boards to the length I needed to fit the space I wanted to use the bookcase. I sanded the boards and finished them with a penetrating seal and shellac ed the bricks. The shelves were assembled by laying two bricks at each end and placing a finished board on them, put ting three more bricks on each and directly above the other bricks on each end with another board on them. 1 learned a lot about finish ing wood In making this book case and find it very useful In my room. When I gave the demonstration at District Ac tivity Day In Wilson, I was real happy to receive a blue ribbon on It. This phase of my room Improvement project has been both educational and beneficial. otter foods. | . ?*'V!r >?? As s result of five years of experience, I have gained much confidence In the kitchen. lean handle most of the freezing and a rather large amount of the canning done In my home. I have also been able to en ter many of my products in the county fair and In this way have won ribbons and prize money. To sum up my Food Pre wrvnon project, I would say that It is a valuable project in terms of economy, conven ience, and enjoyment of the frozen and canned foods. Through 4-H, I believe I have become a better, person and citizen. Not only have I gain ed knowledge in freezing and canning, but I have gained needed self-confidence and have developed a deep appreciation for my home and its surround ings as well as for nature in general. Boys Home Improvement Curtis Gore, Jr., a member of the Bethania 4-H Club, Forsyth County, thoufht home Improvement projects were for girls until his leader pointed out that "there are many things a boy can do to improve his room that require car pentry work." Curtis agreed and decided that his room needed more storage areas. So he made a list of the various types of storage equipment needed and looked through decorator mag azines to get Ideas on how to build his bookcase, shoe rack and desk. The 4-H project book gave him Ideas about partitioning drawers, making letter racks, pencil holders, trash cans and other Items. After deciding what was need ed, Curtis measured the room, decided where each storage piece would go and started to work, Mrs. Joanne J. Falls, assistant home economics ex tension agent, says. Curtis and his mother, who Incidentally Is his 4-H leader, agree that the project will be rewarding lor everyone. Things will be organized In Curtls's room and there will be less work Involved in keeping It neat. About 90% of U. S. cotton Is mechanically harvested.
