SUSAN THAYER A TRUE STORY FROM OVERSEAS New Publication Tells How Best To Can Meats He was not used to speaking in public. But as Owen Jenkins, ma chinist in the Royal , dockyards at Portsmouth, rose to address that lit tle group of men assembled to decide whether 500,000 British engineers should walk out of their jobs in ship yards and arms plants for the,, sake oi more money, he was not afraid. There had been talk of the possi bility of a strike for days now and Owen Jenkins had lain awake nights thinking of his two sons. One was with the R. A. F. in Greece, the other somewhere on the North Seas both of them risking their lives every moment of .the day and night for the sake of their country. And the men in his Union who were essential to the production of munitions his sons were using were threatening to quit their jobs for the sake of a few bob a week! It was all wrong . . he knew . . . the kind of thing that would encourage the enemy and de moralize the country itself as well as hold up needed production. There had been a number of speeches before his turn came. Men who pounded on the table and said now was the time for the working man to get what was coming to him! Now was the time when no one would dare to stand against them! And then, Owen Jenkins rose. He didn't talk very long ... He spoke very quietly but what h said came from his heart. He told them of his two boys whom he had hoped would never have to go to any war, had been gone for months now. "When they come home again ... as please God they may . . . What could I say to them if I stopped working now while they are-fighting? Is a few bob all that matters in this world?" . . . And then, "Are we pre pared to supply the enemy commenta tors with proof for the outside world that the engineers of Britain want to strike?" They heard him out and at the end there was a deep rumble of sym pathetic applause. Jack Tanner, al so of the Amalgamated Engineering Union: endorsed Jenkins' work, ask- ing "Are we at this critical time to withdraw our work when defenses are needed and when our members and our families need defense?" So the strike was voted down and the work being done by those 500,000 skilled men continued and England was that much stronger because one man realized clearly that the work men of a nation in a modern war play as vital a part in Defense as the armed forces that it is as necessary for Industry to carry on as it is for the Navy to send its ships to sea or i the Air Force to fly its fighting planes!

Methods for canning all these meat delicacies are described in a new Extension Folder (No. 48) which has been published by the State College Extension Service. Mrs. Cornelia C. Morris, Extension econo mist in food conservation and mar-! keting, prepared the text. The pub-1 lication is entitled "Canning Meats",! and it is available free upon request j by name and number to the Agricul tural Editor, N. C. State College, Raleigh. Mrs. Morris says pressure can ners should be used in canning meats. "Other methods are not safe." she declared. "Pressure canners are made of strong material with a tight-1 ly-fitting lid, which, when clamped in j place, will hold steam under pressure, thus bringing the temperature inside, the cenner ud to a much 'hirher tAm-1 perature than the boiling point." Other equipment and supplies which t"ie Extension specialist recommends points ouc, ior canning meats include: Good jars, Robert L. Lund, Executive Vice President, Lambert Pharmacal Com pany : "The majority of the great in ventions have been made here in the United States. Almost a score of new world industries have arisen since the beginning of this century, revolutionary in the changes they have brought to human life. Why is it the amazing fact that the inven tions leading to every one of these great industries have been made in our .own country? The answer, you well know, lies in our institutions, and particularly in that important one among them, the patent system." Rauol E. Desvernine, President, Cru cible Steel Company: "Business and government have separate and dis tinct functions and to insure coordi nation of their respective functions, each must stay on its own field ot activity and within the limits of its own power. This is essential to any cooperative and unified action." PEANUT REPORT 1 r, dish pans, a fry pans, measuring new rubber rings, ing pan shallow cup, sharp knives, and a meat fork. She also suggests that a good sup ply of clean dish towels, soap, match es, Bait, and hot and cold water be available. One of ;the points stressed in the folder is: If meat is to be cooked before it is canned, it should not be more ' than half done. There are several ways to rook the meat. It can be browned quickly in a small a mount of hot fat in a frying pan; it can be roasted in the oven; or it can be stewed or boiled. Salt should not be added to the meat until it is packed into the jars. part - Pt depar: . Tater . -.hi: v V, i 1 ' ' V. . " .

Miss Pau line Smith, district home agent of the State College Extension Service is an authority on decorations and she gives the following directions for making a wreath: Assemble the evergreens yon want to use. From the florist you can buy foundation frameff'of heavy single wire and two spools .of wreath -wire; one of the fine, thread weight; and other 22 gua'ge. ' Some persons may be able to make their own frames, especially after buying one or .two as samples.' , -i ' ' Clip ' the evergreens .into short, even lengths; an average length be ing about six inches. Fasten the heavy wire to the frame and, holding the spool firmly in your right hand, tike several pieces Of evergreen with your left hand,, binding them ' tightly to the frame. Continue ' this opera tion; overlapping material V closely, until you have completed." the circle. View your .completed' wreath from a distance" and 'Sheer any : protruding material that spoils the outline. - v . Another method is to make ' suffi cient quantity , of small, individual bunches bf greenery of ' uniform length, width and thickness to com plete your wreath, Fasten each 'se curely with a short ' length of , light weight wire.

At some points the cooperative storages have become full and they have sold their peanuts to oil mills to make room lor additional farmers' stock. It is understood, however, that the cooper atives will continue to take all pea nuts offered that meet their minimum grade specifications. Some shellers and cleaners have been turning down offerings of farmers' stock peanuts because of excess moisture content. Most Jumbo Runners, it is said, are of very poor quality and suitable only for shelling. If the weather contin ues favorable the heaviest movement from the farms is expected to be over in a couple , of weeks, but picking is not likely, to be finished until Janu ary. Though price ranges show little change, the market for farmers' stock peanuts is weaker, with considerable stock moving to millers at prices be low the figures at which peanuts are accepted at cooperative warehouses. Prevailing prices, per lb., f. o. b. de livery point basis, follow: - Virginias, Jumbos, best 3.35-3 3-8c, very few 3Kc, medium 8 l-8-3Kc; Bunch, best 8 1-8-3 c, very few higher, medium 3-8 l-8c; shelling stock, best 2 7-8-3 l-8c, few 8c, poorer 2tt-2c Spanish farmers' stock 97 Vic per ' 80-lb. bushel; Considerable variation is evident in the. extent of the demand reported by different millers. However, good demand reported for extra large Vir ginia shelled because of the scarcity of mediums; and for 800 count Ho. 1 Virginias and No. 2 Virginians be cause the selling price of these grades is lower than either Spanish or Runners when considered on the basis' of delivery to many 'markets. Prices for fancy handpicks are hold ing steady but most other grades are slightly; weaker.- While . some millers are endeavoring to maintain price ley els many others appear willing to lower their : prices if necessary to move their peanuts. , MISCELLANEOUS SHOWER many nice gifts which were opened and admired.
