Canning Center
Opens Friday at
School Building
Deport canning center will oper-
ate again this summer in the lunch
room and kitchen of the grammar
school building. The public will
have an opportunity of coming and
bringing their fruits and vegetables;
canning them themselves under the
supervision of competent instructors,
Mrs. J. C. Holmes and Mrs. Jim
Short.
Some new equipment has been
added to the center this year. Among
these are an electric can sealer, an
electric meat chopper, large steam-
ing box, an electric green pea shell-
er and an assortment of knives. All
of our retorts and pressure cookers
have been tested for accuracy. We
have time tables, canning charts, all
of which show the very latest ap-
proved methods of canning. With
our equipment you can do a better
job of canning and preserving in a
much shorter time.
Regular canning days will be each
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Fri-
day and Saturday, from 9:00 a. m.
until 5:00 p. m. except on Saturday
when it will close at 12:00. An ap-
pointment should be made before the
food is brought in. See or call Mrs.
Holmes or Mrs. Short, phone 2 or 0.
Th.e . istructor’s duty is to super-
vise the canning of the food. Do not
expect these instructors to can your
food for you or to help you. Their
duty is to tell you how and show
you how to process your food. You
will be expected to clean all utensils
and other equipment you use in
canning your fruits and vegetables.
It is the duty of every good Am-
erican to process all the food he pos-
sibly can for his home use that our
men in service and our allies may
have what they need. Let’s not let
the few changes in rationing keep
us from preserving food just as we
did last year. J. C. MILLER,
Local Supervisor Canning Center.
