History 01 Warsaw Cannery The Warsaw Cannery under the management and direction of R. F. Wadkins is a fair example of what cooperation and good management can do towards making a project successful. This is the 4th year of operation and approximately 10,000 cans of fruits and vegetables have been canned there during the summer months. Back in 1944 about 35,000 cans was the grand total, that be- ' ing during the war years when food was scarce and people realized the necessity and Importance or home canning. The cannery building Itself was the original shed used for the o d strawberry market. This was do- . nated by the old town board of trade along with $60. The actual construction was done by Mr. Wad kins and his school boys. In the months of January and February they went out into the woods and gathered dogwood trees and sold them to local people, applying the proceeds to this construction. They also cut pipe, installed plumbing, poured the concrete floor and made tables. Duplin County contributed $300 toward the building. The Fed eral Government donated cquip- - ment inside; the building. E. F. Strickland, , formerly; of Warsaw, now living in Punn, gave square tanks and H. R. Hipp cut the tops off to make cooking vats. The late B. C. Sheffield, Sr., donated drums to be used. Sterling Marrlner gave a gas tark to be used for a cooking vat ,, ,--:'r'r.-'-; ' V-iV-V-'1,. - The primary purpose for opening ; the cannery was for strictly educa- tfonal purposes -; to teach people . to can in tin, to prepare and pre- ' serve summer surplus of produce. It is a non-commercial project and ' Is operated by Mr. Wadkins and his assistants at absolute cost. The V equipment is school propertythe land belongs to the Town of War saw and the town donates the run ning water used. In all the cannery has been a great success and con- ' tinues to operate. .

It Happened in 76 j In 1876 Louis Pasteur, one of , France's greatest scientists, pub lished his "Studies on Beer," the result of Ave years' research in English and Continental brew eries. Pasteur's research proved that ' fermentation is produced only by yeast; that biological changes are due to micro-organiama. For prac ' tical brewing he patented a meth od for controlling fermentation,' and brewing advanced from a hit-or-miss practice to an exact-. ing science. . ' The French scientist's discov- t eries meant more to mankind than , merely standardizing or improv- i ing the quality of a favorite bev-' era go. For he wrote in his book, ' , " When we see beer and wine sub- - jected to deep alterations because ' they have given refuge to micro organisms invisibly introduced . . . - it is impossible not to pursue the ; : though that similar facts may, piust, take place, in animals and in man."- -... ;' . c . v Out of the knowledge he gained ; ' from studies in fermentation came j "pasteurization, and new under standings in medicine and surgery ' which have Saved countless lives, j ' ' Thus brewing played a signifl-'j cant role in science. Today, in'! : turn, science plays an esaen&ali) I role in brewing. ' " ... , v-. y--' ' . f. UNITED STATES BREWEBS (; FOUNDATION ' . j ; ' INSURANCE BLDG RALEIGH, N.
