One of the three quick-freezing1 units, frozen foods lockers and meat i curing vaults, to be rented to in- i dividuals or families will be built in Waynesville, it has been an nounced by the directors of the Farmers Federation. The1 other two units will be in Ashovilie and Hi'iulersonv ille. Henry Francis and Arthur Os bourne, both directors of the Fede ration, are ni.mltrs of the central committee to work out details of' the units, including selection of the site. 1 Plans are going right ahead to set up the units as soon as possi- ble, with war priorities considered. Engineers have been in the area 1 studying the plans, anil have been ! in conference with the officials of the Federation. j Present plans are to name a , committee of 10 or 12 local peo-1 pie to act as an advisory committee in establishing the unit, an official told The Mountaineer yesterday. Much interest is being shown here in the plan, and a number of I farmers have already sought defi nite information as to ost of rent ing one of the lockers. Under this plan food vaults or t lockers, which will be kept at a temperature of about zero, will be provided, in which farmers and other patrons may store frozen I meats and vegetables and take them out as needed. Each patroR will be provided an individual ; locker. j The Farmers' Federation will provide an expert meat cutter who i will cut up a hog, a beef, or other incuts into convenient shapes and sizes and cuts. These cuts may j thin be wrapped in heavy hoisture ; proof paper, quick frozen, and plac. d in the lockers. The locker I patron may call once or twice a 'week and remove what is required ; from bis -locker. " Vegetables, fruits and berries may also b- frozen and preserved. The gardner w ho grows more as-1 paragus, corn, strawberries, or other such products than he uses i in season can take his fresh vege- ' tables to the freezer unit, have! them properly packaged in wax containers, frozen in the quick j freezer chamber, anil then placed m his locker. The quick freeze chamber will be an important part of the lay out, for it is there that meats and i vegetables will be quick-frozen at i sub-zero temperatures before being placed in the lockers.

Cannery Plans To Begin Operating About July First Good Prices Will Be Paid For Beans Under Land O' The Sky Contracts. During the coming week the ma chinery of the Haywood Mutual Cannry will be tested for any pos sible leaks that may have develop ed during the months it has been closed, in anticipation of steaming up for rracking the 250-acre bean crop of the 18 Haywood County farmers who have signed contracts with the Lan O' The Sky Coopera tives. The 250 acres of string beans will total around 570,000 pounds of beans and will bring thousands of dollars to the local farmers. It is expected that the cannery will be ready for the 1943 crop around the first of July, when can ning operations will start up along with the first picking of beans, ac cording to J. E. Barr, manager of the Cooperatives of which the local plant is a member. Beans will be the only product canned in the Haywood plant this season, due to the fact that the government has rationed the numb er of cans allowed the cannery. The pack for the year is esti mated U total around 26 car loads, and the cans alone will cost around $10,000. Number two and number ten cans are packed in the cannery here. The government has requisition ed 21 per cent of the 1943 products, based on the output of the can nery last year, plus four per cent of the output, to be set aside which they may take or not take as need ed. The Haywood farmers will be paid five cents a pound for the fancy beans which are used in the "Our Betsy" pack, four and one blf cents for the extra standard' and four cents a pound for the standard. When the cannery is going at full tilt there will be between fifty and seventy-five persons employed. The snipping machine will run day and night, and in the peak opera tions period, there will be night shifts in other departments. The crops in Haywood are look ing good in most vicinities, accord ing to Mr. Barr, who feels that on the whole there will be a good ave rage of other peak years of pro duct ion. There are four canneries in the Land O' The Sky Cooperatives. In addition to the Hazelwood plant are: Murphy, Gi'en Mountain and Cranberry. The total contracted acreage for the four canneries for this year will be approximately 875 acres. The value of the cann ed pack for the four canneries has been estimated s' $205,000. When reduced to number tw,o cans will fill 105,588 cases, or 39,000 cases of number of ten cans and 750 cases of two and one-half cans. The cost of cans in the four co operatives will run around $45,000. Beans will not be handled on the green vegetable market this year as the present support of can ned beans is mora profitable. past week, r- anil At,..- t... , , . atd ,'. vuaoipn.i;arsweij, iritircr , "!lren who have been M3lpn " '"ltiVfs m Augusta and have ' lor the Te turned home. r 'n n r rnill'Ps. of Wash na, ' ' has arrived to visit hilh m:- Mr- -and Mrs. Roy lu ' ', ai tneir --wa road. v .Mrs ti cl';W'en of tr tson and three ts rt l,Hen3ersonville, are the saM on p. iUrs- Curtis ktson 1 1 rwn Avne- Mrs. TU- home on the Congressman Zebulon Weaver Likes Idea Of Special Edition To Service Men Last Rites Held For W.
