General Suggestions for Safety
In Canning
"Plan before you can" is the
Texas slogan. A little thought giv-
en to the following points before
starting to work will be a time sav-
er later, as well as a safety mea-
sure:
1. Know your method before you
start.
2. Use only clean, sound, fresh
foods in prime condition. Lose no
time between picking and process-
ing.
3. After picking, place foods im-
mediately into cold water to pre-
vent steaming or flat sour before
packing.
4. Make sure that containers in
which food is processed are clean
and free from defects.
5. Prepare all jars. tops, rings,
and rubbers before starting on food.
ft. The water bath method is not
entirely safe except for acid veg-
etables and fruits. For this method
be sure that the water in the ran-
ner comes at least one inch over
the top of the jars. Keep boiling
water ready to refill in case it gets
below this.
7. Process non-acid vegetables
and meats in a pressure cooker for
complete safety.
8. In oven canning the temper-
ature inside the jars never reach
over 212 Fahrenheit, so like a
water bath, it is not recommend d
for preserving non-acid vegetables
or meats. The use of higher tem-
perature. 240 to 250 Fahrenheit, is
recommended for adequate steril-
ization of foods low in acidity.
These temperatures can be ob-
tained in the interior of the jar-t
only by using a steam pressure
rooksr.
I'sing the oven, where a regulat-
or is available, is a simplified way
to process fruits and tomato-**. and
is decidedly preferred over the hot
water method by many people, but
it must be remembered that the
"highest temperature" (212) is
reached somewhat later in th<- cans
'.n the oven, so it is necessary in
oven canning to process longer
Ihan in the water bath. Another
possible objection to this method
is that food oft n boils over in the
jars - o it is wise to always place
them on a pan. Of course, when the
fowl runs out. of the jar the pack
is not as full as desired, but for
practical home use this may be the
easiest method for fruit- and to-
matoes.
0. "Steamers" or steam cookers
are used by many for canning as
they are easy to handle and very

COOK'S POINT—Miriam Norcroes
We are sorry that Miss Foulds
cannot meet with us for a long
time, but she will be very busy and
won't have time to.
The girls are going to work hard
on their dresses and their other
projects to show Miss Foulds just
how hard they can work. We are
looking forward to our next meet-
ing with Miss Foulds.
CALDWELL—Mary Lee Keichle
Most of the members are work-
ing on their projects to complete
the work that was assigned to them
by Miss Foulds at the club's last
meeting.
The following is a complete re-
port on the garden project of Vir-
ginia Kovar: She has one-half row
of asparagus, two and one-half
rows of tomatoes, one row of beets,
one row onions, two rows water-
melons, one row cantaloupes, two
rows okra, one row black eyed peas,
two rows peppers, two rows cab-
bage, one row English peas, two
rows collards, and one row of pop
corn. Virginia was waiting for rain
to rechop her garden and also can
some of her vegetables. Now that
she has received a nice rain she will
can during the coming week.
HARMONY—Josephine Gold
We were sorry to hear that Miss
Foulds will not be able to meet with
with our club for a few weeks, due
to the mattress making program.
Most of the girls have already
started canning vegetables and are
planning on canning all they possib-
ly can.
Alice Chmelar reports her garden
s growing nicely.
CHRIE8MAN—Jessie Woods
Mrs. Frits Boedeker, the Chrles-
man 4-H Club Sponsor has to go
off to school for three months and
while she is gone Mrs. Ray Sewell
will act as sponsor in her place.
Several club members are buy-
ing hogs from the County Regist-
ered Hog Association. These mem-
bers hope to show their hogs in the
Dallas Fair next year.
After the dress project is finished
the Chriesman club will start on
the canning project. Due to an
early frost and two stoims there
will not be much to can from the
club gardens.
CORRECTION !
We regret that Mr. Tommy
Philp's name, from Chriesman, was
not listed on the honor roll as one
of the A students of the 1940
graduation class of Caldwell high
school.
He not only was a star player on
our famous football team, but an
A student as well. Therefore, we
take pride in making this an-
nouncement.

FERGUSONS ASK: "IS THE
LEGISLATURE TO BLAME?"
Our present governor has shed tears as big as a biscuit over inmates
of our eleemosynary institutions and has shouted through the micro-
phone about his betrayal by the legislature which refused to back his
efforts to help these poor unfortunates.
In th.- first issue of his private newspaper, dated April 8th, in
announcing for reelection the governor states: "I found our eleemosy-
nary institutions wholly inadequate to take care of the insane, the
blind and the feeble-minded, and many of these unfortunate people
housiid in firetraps and languishing in jail." In the April 29th issue of
his paper a screaming headline on the front page informs us that
800 insane are now confined in jails for lack of room in State hospitals.
It is not a pleasant task to be forced to call a four-flusher's hand
or to expose stark hypocrisy in public office, but taxpayers are entitled
to facts.
The governor has repeatedly boasted of vetoing five million dollars
in the appropriation bill but has remained strangely silent about the
individual items. Of the five million dollars which he cut out,
$1,821,325 was money which the legislature had appropriated for the
support of eleemosynary institutions. Included in this amount was
$1,521,674 which was> to be distributed between the ten State hospitals
for the insane which would have gone a long way toward remedying
the condition which is now rending the Governor's heart.
Other items vetoed by the governor included: $138,000 for two of
our State tubercular hospitals; $70,131 for two of our State orphans'
home ; $50,520 for the Texas School for the Blind; $38,000 for the
two institutions for wayward boys and girls.
Let's see if the governor can hang this on the legislature.
The Fergusons have never vetoed one dollar appropriated for our
eleemosynary institutions in the past and will not do so in future.
