We learned the method of pre cooking, packing in jars and finally cooking them in our wash pots. In 1917, Miss Helen Gaither began to work with the county women in the same area of canning. During the summer season she organized a girl's club and six women's clubs. The ladies canned vegetables and fruits while the girls learned millinery and the art of making bread. In 1919 Miss Gaither was appointed our first full time agent. The year 1920 brought the organization of the first County Council with seven members. There were thirteen girl's clubs and seven Home Demonstration Gubs in 1922. Miss Gaither resigned in 1926 and no one assumed her role until 1935. when Miss Gladys Hanvrick became the agent. During the absence of an agent, club work was at a low point with Belvidere.

I rfr "Space Problems" In The Refrigerator "Space Problems" in the refrigerator can be of real concern if you are trying to find room for that half of watermelon or a large bag of vegetables. Luckily, not all fruits and vegetables need to be refrigerated, according to Mrs. M. B. Taylor. Home Economics Extension Agent. Mrs. Taylor has this to say for special food storage: Keep tomatoes out of the refrigerator unless they are fully ripe and there is danger of spoilage. In fact, refrigerated tomatoes soon lose their characteristic flavor and develop a flat taste. Neither do tomatoes like too hot a tem perature. This is one "of the reasons why tomatoes should be ripened away from direct sunlight, or we might say, not on the window sill. Make room for the corn because corn must be kept refrigerated. Why? Just as soon as corn is gathered it starts losing quality -- corn sugar begins to turn to starch. Keeping corn cool is the only way to slow Perquimans County was formed by 1670. It is three cen turies old this year. Its history is of great richness and im portance, telling of pioneer settlers of the state, of colonial governors and legislatures and of the, beginning of organized religion in North Carolina. In its records (the oldest in the state) are found the stories of many famous men and events. We may be justly proud of our history. Three hundred years of local government. self government, deserve public attention. Perquimans should have a 300th birthday celebration. Her neighbors of equal age are doing so. Why don't we have pageants, parades, programs, displays and othes special events to feature Perquimans as it was and as it is. Why can't we have a Perquimans County Day. in viting former residents to return and showing visitors what our County offers. County-wide historical tours and visits to old homes (we have 200 over 100 years old) could be held. Board Sets Tax Rate At $1.35 The Tax Rate was set at $1.35 per $100.00 assessed valuation for real and personal property in Hertford for the new year when the Board met in special session Thursday night. The Board, also, adopted the Budget for the New Year, which was set at $349,300.00. In other matters of business, motion was made to include the names of Marvin Hunter and Sidney Eley on the Firemen's Fraternal Insurance Fund Membership List. At the regular meeting of the Board on Monday, July 13, W.T. Elliott, ABC Board Chairman, reported that sales during the month of June amounted to $19,735.65, which was an increase over the report for June 1969. ' IT ! ii Iff ill -tti .

When storing. leave it in the husks, or put in a moisture-proof bag. to keep it from drying out Peaches need the same treatment as tomatoes For the best flavor keep peaches out of the refrigerator unless ripe and there is danger of spoilage. During these hot summer days, eggs must be kept under refrigeration or they lose quality quickly. By losing quality, we mean the yolks become flatter and the whites thinner, and a Grade A egg can soon become a Grade B egg. Eggs continue to be one of the better protein buys. Can you help to conquer space in your refrigerator such as keep out foods that don't need chilling. A good example would be pickles, most mustards, jellies and preserves. Bread gets Male more quickly in the refrigerator than at room temperature. Use the right size container.
