LANGSTON CEDAR GROVE — “I never rea lized that canning could be So easy.” This is a statement often repeated by ■ housewives, yo'urig and ' old, who have patronized the Ay cock Cannery. This modernly equipped food pro cessing plant is located on the grounds, of the Aycock School and since 1948 has been a canning dream come true to Hundreds of families in Orange and neighboring counties. At present,It is the only community cannery in operation in the area and serves patrons in Orange, Durham, Person, Caswell and Alamance counties. The Aycock Cannery first began operation in 1948, having been con structed by the people of the com munity under the supervision of the Agriculture Department at the Aycock School. The people of the Community gave .freely of their la bor, material, arid money and the result of their efforts was a food processing plant capable of canning thousands of cans of' food in a single day. The cannery was equip ped with approximately $6,000.00 worth of the most modern equip ment found in communty canneries. The cooking capacity of the plant is about 500 cans in quart contain ers and would be many more of the smaller pint size cans. During nine years of operation* the Ay cock Cannery has canned close tu 200,000 cans of food, has, cooked hundreds of kettles of Brunswick Stew, has ground thousands of pounds of sausage, and many stands of lard have been rendered for patrons in the area. Since it first began operation in 1948 the Aycock Cannery has re Home Canning Made Easy — A view of the interi or of the Ayeoek Cannery, located on the grounds of t h e Ayeoek School. Picture shows a young housewife placing lids on cans gf vegetables to be sealed by elec trical msisir.iS'tv on sealer*. Char les. N. Langston, the Agriculture Teacher, shown at left, supervises all canning opera tions. mained under the supervision of the Vocational Agriculture Teacher of the Aycock Seheool. Operation is strictly on a noh-profit basis and the fees charged are set by the Ag riculture Teacher according to the cost of items which are used in canning, such as tin cans, labor, salt, electricity, coal, etc. In addi tion to the Agriculture Teacher one other experienced worker is mantaned in the cannery -at all times to assist families in process ing their food products. The Cannery is presently closed, having just completed a successful vegetable season. During the sum mer approximately 16,000 cans of vegetables were canned. The Can nery will reopen Thursday, Octo ber 11th, at 1:00 p.m., and will be open at that hour each Tuesday and Thursday through November ist for the canning of sweet pota toes, beef and Brunswick stew. The Cannery \yill be open each Tues day and Thursday at 1 p.m. from November 27th through December 20th for the canning of pork. The. Aycock Cannery will not be open at any other time and patrons should plan to do ther canning dur ng those announced times. Patrons desiring to can any kind of meat products should make res ervations . with the Agriculture Teacher at Aycock School. Meats require additional processing, and reservations will aid canning per sonnel in doing a more successful job of planning. THe cost of food today is the largest item in the family budget. This cost can be greatly reduced when a family cdn grow and pre serve food products which must otherwise be purchased. The Ay cock Cannery and the Aycock Vo cational Departments stand ready at all times to assist any family wth their food preservation pro blems. Pros And Cons; Of Commissioner Limitation Plan Heard By Board The Board of County Commis sioners, in deference to citizen re quests, held a public hearing Mon day night on a previous action :n which it had recommended that legislation be passed by the G crier al Assembly to limit the number of members on that board f.-om any one township to two. Fifteen persons, about equally divided between proponents and opponents, had interest - enough to show lip. The Board heard everybody who wanted to be heard but took no action. The matter of “reconsidera tion” will be brought up sometime in the future, Chairman R. J. M. Hobbs said in concluding the meet ing. _ No vchange in the present status of the proposal is likely, it was as certained hi an informal poll fol lowing adjournment. * Speakers for one side or the other were Paul Wager, Roland Mc Clamroch, Mrs. Richmond Bond, Mrs. Raymond Adams, R. O. For' rest-, Hugh Wilson, and Gary Lloyd Messages were presented from Col lier Cobb Jr. and W. E. Thompson, Mr. Cobb against the plan and Mr. Thompson, who originally present ed it, still in favor. New Officers Are Installed At Buckhorn The Buckhorn Grange officers for the coming Y&r were install stalled Monday night in an open meeting by 0. 0. Reitzel, Coun Deputy. .. This installation marks the be ginning of the fourth year for this organization in the Buckhorn Com T*ie following people will f*H the offices for the coming yea-: Hubert M. Carter, master; James Bradshaw, overseer; Mrs. Quen tin Patterson, lecturer; James Cnifchfield, steward; Rev. Gave Alexander, chaplin; WinfM Shambley. treasurer; Mrs Huber M. Carter, secretary; H. W. (Lowe) Sykes, gate keeper; Mrs. Winfred Shamblgy,-c«fres; Mrs. Lula Shank -lia, flo?ar Ray’ p0. mona: Odell Sykes.asststeward and Mrs. H. W. (Lowe) Sykes, lady asst, steward, Mr. Wager said the proposal would 'shackle the electorate” and ‘fragmentize the county'’ and was directly opposed to a “universal trend" of elections-at-large in coun ty government. He termed it arbi trary and unrealistic. He said to "carve" up the county iri this man ner wouldf “sacrifice good leader ship, would be shortsighted, un democratic, wholly unnecessary and will create arid' perpetuate cleavages that Will be disastrous". Mrs. Adams thought th? propoii tion •‘.wil.d.lytde rather than unite” tihe county. Mr. McCIamroch, wno said ne flew back from New York to ap pear at the meeting, drew upon his observation* of the past 30 years of Orange County government and referred to the long history of good government which the county has enjoyed. He said “We have been particularly fortunate in Orange Coynty in our county gov ernment.’’ He said he recalled no time when the county was not rep resented bn the board under Uje system which the resolution seeks to change. “You are not going to get better representation under 'this proposal,” heebarged. He call ed it “a very risky move to disrupt something that has worked so well tor Orange County,” citing a study of five counties in which he said some form of restricton had,been adopted and in only one of which the people were satisfied with their method of election,, He asked for reconsideration of the resolu tion, and if not reconsideration then to postponement until after the election, referring to the pres ent board as a “rump" parliament. Mr. Forrest saw the plan as “the best thing that ean be done to pro mote unity in the county." He said it is extremely ^Tlfficylt to get qualified men from Hllsboro and the county to offer themselves for office because of the heavy pre ponderance of voting in Chapel Hill and foresaw a time when all members of the board would come from Chap?1 Hill.* Mrs. Bdttd injected a personal note by asking Forrest and Com missoner Sim Efland if they had not received “good” votes in Chapel fill and cited what might prove to be "difffctiltieS in admin istering such a law." She said a number of counties had adopted "restrictions in previous legislatures but none in 1955 from which she concluded they had "apparently dfe cided it was a ftaclcwaro step, ane thought it might prove “inflexible and difficult' to change.’’ Mr. Lloyd emphasized *the diffi and the peed for wider representa a |i the need for wider representa tion. , Mr. Wilson said: “In the interest of harmony and good feeling it is imperative that we set up a situa tion where people can be elected from all parts of the county * He proposed that the present system of staggered terms be abolished, his opinion -being this would tend to make; the membership ntore scattering if all five were elected at the ‘saiPe time. He recommend ed that “the present system should not be continued.’’ He said, “Either retain the plan adopted last June or elect all five at the same time. 0mwim9 it master ___. _ _ Miss Maude Brown has been sworn in as acting postmaster at Hillsboro, succeeding Tom Bivins, who resigned several months ago because of ill health.
