Do tomatoes form acid in the body? No. Tomatoes are acid as eaten, but in the processes of digestion and metabolism in the body, they ultimately have an alkaline reac tion. 2. Is it safe to cook tomatoes, or heat them for canning, in alum inum pans? Yes, there is no evidence that the small amount of aluminum dissolved by tomatoes heated in aluminum pans is harmful. 3. Is it safe to leave canned to matoes in the tin after opening? Yes, if they are kept cold and covered. A slight metallic flavor may develop, but it is harmless. ing built-in shelves, an ice box, installing ranges, electric lights, and work counters. “I’m having the communication section under Sgt. John Clark in stall telephones for the mess ste ward and driver,” Sgt. Arnold said, “so that if the driver does not drive smoothly, the mess steward can chew him out.” Two Are Veterans Sfc. Parrish and the First Cook, Sgt. George Massey, are the only members of the mess section who attended summer camp at Ft. Jackson, S. C., last summer; but the remainder of the talented mess section received plenty of training during the weekend trips to Camp Butner and Ft. Bragg taken dur ing the spring and summer. Philip Williams and Max Williams, Sec ond Cooks, and the truck driver, Donald Fowler, complete the sec tion. Battery A will leave the armory for summer camp on Friday, Aug ust 17, and, on completion of two weeks of intensive field training, will return to Zebulon on Monday, September 3. 4. Is tomato juice spoiled when it separates? No. Just before using, shake or stir vigorously. 5. Why do home-canned toma toes sometimes float in the jar? The pack may be too loose, or air in the tissues of tomatoes has not all been forced out during heat ing or processing. Many other facts about tomatoes are included in a new publication entitled “Tomatoes Facts for Consumer Education” (AIB-32) prepared for teachers, writers, ex tension workers, marketing spec ialists, and others whose job is helping consumers make best use of foods, rather than for the in dividual housewife herself.

Explosive Wedge Now Ready It won’t be long before Zebulon farmers start splitting logs for fencing, home use and other pur poses, and John L. Gray, State Col lege Extension Service Forester, has just the tool to take the sweat out of the job. Gray says that a small num ber of farmers in North Carolina have been using the explosive wedge for a number of years, but its use is not common in the Tar Heel State. The wedge is especially helpful in splitting tough hickory, gum, oak, other hardwoods, and pine, according to Gray. The wedge looks like a short length of truck axle with one end hollowed out and tapered down. Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers Rotary Committees Given Large Order To Fill During Year Program plans for the coming year were outlined by committee chairmen of the Zebulon Rotary Club at the meeting of the group held Friday night in the Woman’s Club building. Taking part were the heads of the four major com mittees, Vocation, Club, Commun ity, and International Service. Ed Ellington, Club Service chair man, pointed out that since the contest with Middlesex, attendance has suffered. He suggested efforts be made to improve attendance. He advised more study be made of club projects and activities. Norman Screws, Community Service chairman, cited as the first need of the Zebulon community the proposed county hospital. He urged the club to work for the hospital as part of its community service activity. During the following year, In ternational Service chairman Bar rie Davis said, emphasis will be placed on programs showing the close relationship of nations of the world and the responsibility each nation has for the welfare of its neighbor. Vance Brown, head of the Voca tional Service Committee, was ab sent and no report was received on the programs planned by his group.

Corn Yield Aids Hogs Commercial hog production is increasing in Pitt County, and County agents believe that produc tion will continue to increase be cause of improved pasture and in creased yields of corn. There are several different types on the market. All types make use of a small charj& of powder to split the log. • Farmers who are interested in getting more information on the explosive wedge should contact the district forestry extension special ist.
