This, That And\ The Other Bj Mr* Theo B. Davi* When reading timely on canning I was urged to get out the pressure cooker and help take care of the unusually large crop of peaches, I knew something was \vr° n g. That advice was written by a man. You don’t need a pres sure cooker for peaches; they are better without its use. Here’s the easiest way I have found for hot-packing peaches; Put the peeled and halved or quartered fruit into a large roast er—or your dishpan. pour over it the amount of sugar you use, or make it into a sirup with water and pour that over the peaches. Set the container in the oven, turn on the current and let it go to about 350 degrees on •‘bake ”. You don’t have to do any stirring, the peaches don’t come to pieces, and when they are well heated through, you can pack them quickly in the jars, which are then processed about twenty minutes. From Charlotte Mrs. F. S. Kerr wrote to say she hopes the Red Cross work progresses welll here She gave no street address so I can’t be sure where to write her. Mrs. Kerr is the Charlotte lady who was in Zebulon some time ago, and while her husband in stalled machinery at the ice plant she worked at the sewing room whenever it was open. Few peo ple have impressed Zebulon wo men so favorably in so short a time as did Mrs. Kerr. Mrs. E. H. Moser used in con versation at the sewing "oom an expression which sticks in my mind. She said of a business man that he was “on furlough.” I like the idea that all of us are on duty and in service; thus any vacation is properly called a furlough. In Monday’s Charlotte News Dorothy Knox, columnist, told of lunching with a girl whose best boy friend, a paratrooper, had been killed in the invasion of Nor mandy. Because on the day before I had heard that a nephew, also a paratrooper, has been “missing in action” since June 6, the para graphs quoted made a specially deep impression. “While prosperous business men, leisure ladies and the madly traveling public lunched chattily arond us, we talked about Turner. Mary’s eyes were dry, but the jauntiness had gone out of her trim little fig ure. Because I wasn’t going to let her down, when she coaid oe so gallant about it, I looked away from her every now and then so she couldn’t see the tears in my eyes. And every time I looked I saw somebody that burnt my eyes dry. I saw Charlotte women who have never lifted a hand in this war, • didn’t intend to, and will never contribute towards any effort to avoid another war. I saw a man who’d told me he’d spent two years getting out of service be cause he couldn’t “afford ’ to stay in and let his business go to pieces. I saw men who had waxed prosperous on war don tracts, who bragged about get ting all the gas they want-d, and who prided themselves on knowing the “right” black mar kets. Waves of sheer fury broke over me. I thought to myself. “I mustn’t let it get nae. I must, accept people as they are. If I get bitter inside, I won’t be of any use in the world.” Mary said, “You don’t knov' how hard it is to fight bitterness.” I am glad Miss Knox was not talking about Zebulon. Yet even here arc those who have none nea/- and dear gi service arid who forget themselves at times, not realizing that their remarks and attitude make it harder for oth ers whose circumstances are far different who know all too well the temptation to become bitter; to feel that many do not really care \frhat becomes of any besides themselves. Such wounds are slow to heal.
