THE VYAYNESVTLLE MOUNTAINEER T PAGE FOUi? (SecGud SeetiorJ Home Agent Outlines Fobd Insurance For '46 Agent Stresses Importance of Food Preservation And Gives Ways To "Stretch" Sugar "A full scale community food preservation program is a 'must' for ,1946," said Miss Mary Marg aret Smith, county home agent yesterday in discussing the impor tance of home preservation of food "It again plays a vital part in the nation-wide food preservation campaign. But this year it is re lated to something bigger the world-wide need for food. Other programs helping to allay that need are victory gardening, save the wheat, go easy on all cereals, conserve the fats, and prevent food waste," continued Miss Smith. The people of this country will be able to share more of the easy-to-shlp products of high food value, if they put up seasonal abundance of perishable foods for use in the nonproductive months, the home agent said. The use of the com munity food preservation center affords a safe, easy, companiable way to put up that food. The national food preservation week which was set for July 15-22 is Just the starting point of food preservation in this community, states Miss Smith. The food preservation program, like the victory garden program, is as important in 1 94(5 as at an time during the war. More food for more people in this "Famine Year" is their joint aim. Famine threatens the lives of hundreds of millions of people Former President Hoover and oth ers say the crisis will not he passed before the harvests of 1947. The people will continue to share a large part of the wheat and some of the other foods for at least another year. World food stocks per person have seldon been lower than they are right now. During this growing season stocks must be rebuilt for another hard winter and spring. In view of the critical needs for food for the world, the ever-present un certainty of growing weather, the continued heavy consumer demand in this country, and the processing and transportation difficulties of "I LOST 32 LBS.!

SOUTHERN BELL l the reconversion period, it is ad visable to take advantage of every opportunity this glowing season otters to add to our food stocks, it was suggested by Miss Smith. Food Insurance is needed this year. Needs tor loud ait enorm ous and ihe processing industry is laboring under mam dili'ieulties and uncertainties. A w:si amount of food preserved al home or in community ccnlci.s is necessary in order to make available other food supplies to in-lire a.iiiM starva tion in other lands and shoi I sup plies at home. Sound national policy is. in this case, .sound household economics. Wheat will be scarce tor months to come, meaning irs bread and cereals with out dail meal. . To safeguard diets, more luods of other varieties will be needed There should be more vegetables canned this year to replace some of the food values and filling quali ties of the wheat that goes abroad. Prospects at present indicate a good vegetable crop and also fruits for this season. There will be ade quate supplies ol glass jars, jar rings, and closures. The supply of pressure canners lias been stead ily increasing. ()nl sugar, among all food preservation materials will continue to be relatively scarce. There will be pleiit of raw ma terials and the need is almost un limited. The following North Caro lina bulletins are available at the offices of the home audits and ma be had for caiiing: Canning fruits and vegetables, fanning meat for the home, freezing loods for the home. Jam lei l l'u kle pre serves. In discussing sugar Miss Smith had the following suggestions to make: Planning the Use of the sugar al lotment is the first step in stretch ing it. Our .North Carolina budget calls for 24 quarts ul canned fruit per person, 't his year ue will have to continue using the wartime rule for sugar i ' cup sugar per quart of fruit. I If the full 111 pounds al lotment were according to the war time rule it would result in 41) quarts per person. II the 24 quarts called for in the budget is canned it will require (I pounds of sugar, leaving 4 pounds of sugar for pre serves, jelly and jam. Our budget calls for 2 quarts i4 pints' ore- 1 quart i2 pintsi of jelly per person 1 quart 2pintsi of jelly per person. The yield of sweet spreads mady with the 4 pounds ol sugar will vary, due to type of spread, method of cooking, and whether or not sug ar stretchers are used. Fruit but ters are the most .sugar economical of the sweet spreads, requiring only half as much sugar as fruit pulp used. A pound of sugar will make about 3 pints of butter. In jam and preserve recipes that ordinarily ' call for equal parts In weight of j sugar and fruit, the proportion can j satisfactorily be cut to :; i as much ! sugar. With this proportion. 1' pound of sugar will make around 1 1 1 to 2 pints, or 4 In li jelly glasses ; TELEPHONE AND TILEGRAPhJT OMPANY I N C 0 R P 0 R A T I 0 f ...... At Fort Belvqir I 7KT1 PRIVATE KENNETH TRAN-! TIIAM, son of Mr. and Mrs. Grover ' C. Trantham, of Clyde, is stationed ' at Fort Iielvoir, Va., where he has been since his transfer from Fort j i i ina..t;r,n nnntup I which he reported after entering the army. Pvt. Trantham entered the serv ice in November, 1945, and at the time was engaged in farming. He is Ihe oldest of nine children. His father is a veteran of World War II and received his discharge dur ing the past year. Pvt. Trantham recently spent a ten days furlough in the county with his parents. For jellies, a pound of sugar made up with a pint of fruit juices' yields on the average l'-i pints, which would fill about 4 glasses. When jelly recipes call for :,4 to 1 part sugar for every part by meas ure of fruit juice, use the smaller proportion of sugar. Jelly making is a delicate art, and tinkering with jelly recipes by any but experienc ed jelly makers is unwise. Failure may mean loss of precious sugar. Honey and corn syrup can be used to replace part of the sugar in canning fruit and in making jam. jelly, preserves as follows: In caning fruits, honey may re place as much as M the sugar call ed lor in the recipe. Corn syrup can replace up to 1-3 the sugar call ed for. In making jelly, honey can re place up to !a the sugar called for in Ihe recipe. Corn syrup can re place up to '4 the sugar called for. If you use either part honey or part corn syrup, cook the mixture slightly beyond the jelly stage. In making jams and preserves, the sugar is weighed rather than measured by cupfuls. Cook jams and preserves somewhat longer ivhen you cut the amount of sugar. With less sugar it takes a little longer cooking to gt the product as thick as you want it. With corn syrup or honey, re place up to half the weight of sug ar called for in the recipe. To make substitutions by cupfuls rather than by weight it is neces sary to know that 1 pound of sugar equals about 2 cups sugar and that 1 pound of honey or corn syrup measures approximately 1 1-3 cups. TRAVELING COMPANIONS A hillbilly had raised a lot of hogs for the market, and when they were about ready to be sold a traveling buyer had offered a certain price for the entire group, and agreed to call fur them besides. But the hill billy was stubborn and wouldn't sell. Instead, fie drove the whole lot the not inconsiderable distance in'o town, but when he arrived there could get no better price than pre cisely what had been offered him at home. The traveling b' yer heard what had happened, and the next time he was in the neighborhood stopped in to see the hillbilly. "Well," he taunted, "you didn't make much money by driving your hogs into town, did you?" "No, I didn't," dejectedly admit ted the hillbilly. "I didn't make no money. Put then, you know," he added, his lace tightening, "I hail the company of the hogs on the way down." ONE CONSOLATION "I'm lost away from the horse races," growled Howson, looking up from his morning paper. "You may be," observed his wife, "but your money isn't." Too Tough for Heaven Kirk was pugnacious but he didn't live long. A few days after his funeral his widow was hanging pensively over her front gate. A neighbor came along and stopped to offer her some consolation. "Well, poor Kirk," she remarked, " 'e'll be 'itting the 'arp with the hangels now." "Not Mm," replied the widow, "more likely 'e'll be 'itting the hangels with the 'arp." Treated Like a Weed Composer Edward MacDowell was inveigled by an adoring mother into listening to her child's rendition of his composition, "To a Wild Rose." The offspring struggled through it painfully. "Doesn't she play adorably, Mr. MacDowell?" beamed the proud parent. "And just think. I taught her to play all by myself!" "Fine," smiled MacDowell. "But you shouldn't have taught her to pull it up so by the roots." Get a Horse Young Woman (in photo studio) I'd like this enlarged. Clerk Would you like it mount ed? Y. W.
