There’ll Be A Tot Of Peaches-And
Now There’s Sugar For Canning, Too!
RAYON BEACH TEAM
Carolina peaches will be late
but “there’ll be a lot of them,”
agriculture experts are quoted in
a press dispatch from Washing
ton, t). C.
In fact, U. S. Department of
Agriculture officials said “to say
peaches will be plentiful is put-
tirig it mildly.”
The national peach crop is ex
pected to be the largest in history
with 2,500,000 bushels more than
last year—or a total crop of ^9,-
183,000 bushels, they stated.
First big crop will be the
Georgia shipments, anticipated
for late July, then the peak for
Carolina peaches will be early
August. Midwestern crops will be
late. August arrivals and the
Rocky Mountain peaches won’t
make appearances until Septem
ber.
The big peach crop is especially
good news for the home canner—^
because peaches are one of the
best fruits for home canning.
Besides, there’s sugar like there
hasn’t been for several canning
seasons.
To provide the perfect canned
peach, experts advise “look be
yond the pink blush (if the peach
has one) to see that the ground
color is yellow or white—not an
unripe greenish tint.”
“It’s cheaper,” they said “to hot
pack the peaches because this
uses less jar space—about a
serving more to a quart jar, than
when peaches, are packed with
out preheating.”
But, peaches packed raw hold
shape better and look prel^tier—
in the jar and on the table.
As for flavor, it seems to be a
matter of; personal taste,^which
method makes a peach better eat-
:ng.
Whichever way you can
peaches, the department experts
say: “Wash peaches, dip in boil
ing water, then quickly into cold
water, retaove skins—halve and
pit.”
If you dont’ want ’em dark,
drop peaches into water-contain
ing two tablespoons of salt and
two of vinegar per gallon of
water, drain just before heating
or packing cold.

Aberdeen MilFs Knitting Machines
Are More Complicated Than Russians
^Con“ from Page 1 Sec. 1.)
twenty stockings every forty-five
minutes. On the left, and at the
.back of the great room, are
thirty-two single head machines.
These are newer and, are semi
automatic. They knit the finer
guage (54) stockings. The output,
per day, in the mill is about 120
dozen pairs. .
The knitting process starts
when the two- spools of nylon
thread are placed in' their glass-
enclosed sockets, like typewriter
ribbons, above and on either side
of the main machine. The spools
are pale colors, cream, white,
pale green or pink, depending on
the type of yarn, a water dye
which is for identification pur
poses and .easily boiled out.
The sjiools are at about shoul
der height, two or three feet
apart, and from them the two
threads lead to the center and
dip through a small tub of sol
ution, a very important factor in
the process. It is hard to get the
solution just right,' especially in
Aberdeen where the water is
very soft. The addition'of a little
lime is now being tried. 'This
must, be aiiother way in which
nylon is peculiar stuff. Who ever
heard of water being too soft!
The Knitting Machines
From the bath the threads pass
to the heart of the machine
where the two winking shuttles
like silver combs, shift and click
their tiny teeth with lightning
speed as the stocking unwinds
steadily from theiri spider’s maw.
Slowly it creeps ■ out toward
you. There is a click; the upper
jaw hesitates a fraction of a sec
ond apd you notice .that the edges
of the stocking have moved in:
the leg is beginning to take form.
Click, again: ‘the shapely calf
starts to taper delicately. You
look down the line, for this ma
chine is- the first division of the
twenty which operate together.
There, as you watch, nineteen,
other pale calves are sliding se
ductively forward. It’s as good as
the Rockettes.
Along the foot of the row
travels the long cjiain belt that
controls this amazing process.
Spaced along it at intervals are
moveable steel “buttons”. The
spaces between them produce the
pattern of the stockings: the
shape, the different sizes, the
back of the heel and the sides of
the toe.
The stocking starts to- be made
at the picot edge around the bot
tom of the welt: what we call
“top”. In the older machines the
“welt-turning” has to be done
by hand. As soon as the welt' is
long enough, the worker takes
the upper shuttle, with the stock
ing on it off, stretches it and
passes it over a ruler, then turns
it back over itself and hooks the
little teeth back on. They pick
up almost without a pause and
go to chewing away again and

led top, comes creeping steadily
out toward you.
Finishing-Up
When the stockirtgs are knitted
they are taken in .bundles to the
four loopers where the toes are
sewed up. From there they pass
on to the seven sewing machines
where girls, starting at the toe,
feed the stockings through some
thing that seems to work like a
zipper and runs dp the seams in
a jiffy. Women run these ma
chines, and help at the knitting
machines. E)achi two machines

A RADIO FOR EVERtONE
The little village of Pinebluff
went into mourning last week
when the news spread of the
dSath of Miss /Hannah Pauline
Little at the Moore County Hos
pital Saturday night. Miss Little
had, been ill for a year, and serf
ously so since January. Nursing
her during her illness was her
devoted friend. Miss Marie Rose,
who was with her at the time of
her death.
Miss Little, who was born in
'Philadelphia, April 22nd, 1877
came of a medical family and
followed the same profession. She
took nurse’s training and gradu
ated from Johns Hopkins in 1903.
She was there during the “great
period,” when such physicians as
Osier and Halstead were at their
heights, and enjoyed the compan
ionship of many eminent in the
medical world. She did special
nursing for several years and,
later, traveled extensively.
In World War I, she was one
of a specially selected group to
take training for personnel work
in war industries and was in
charge of this service in one of
Pennsylvania’s largest war plants.
She later became head of the
Maternity Center Association in
Brooklyn, a work which she par
ticularly enjoyed, having always
had the greatest interest in that
Jphase of nursing.
The Little family came to Pine
bluff in 1905, attracted by a leaf
let describing “the salubrious cli
mate,” and Miss Little eventually
built two houses. Although she
did no nursing in this area, she
was always active in various en
terprises and any Pinebluff com
munity interest was sure of her
support.
Athletic and fond of sport, in
terested in people and deeply
sympathetic Pauline Little’s was
a colorful personality, full of
magnetism and vitality, one to
whom everyone tlirned for help
or encouragement. She leaves a
devoted group of friends who will
cherish her memory.
At her wish, Miss Little’s body
v/as cremated and her ashes were
buried in Media, Pa., where the
final rites were held at a private
graveside service Wednesday.
Surviving are three ^isters, Mrs.
M. H. Holt-Smith, Mrs. Anna M-
Graham, and Mrs. Florence E.
Sproul, anci tiyo nieceis,; Miss
Pauline Sproul, esjecutrix of the
estate, and Mrs. Cadwalader pen-
edict, beneficiary. ' ' .
