News From Your
County HD Agent
By (.MRS.) VIVIAN II. BLAIR
Questions are beginning to
come in on preserving food. It's
that time of the year again and
I hope you are planning to
make the most of the abun-
dant supply of food, both to
feed your family well now and
to enjoy next winter. Here are
some directions which might
help you.
Freezing New Potatoes
Select potatoes the size of
walnuts. Scrub well in cold wa-
ter to remove skins, or wash and
scrape. Pre-heat in boiling wa-
ter: 5 to 8 minutes depending
on size. Cool in cold running
water or ice water 5 to 8 min-
utes. Pack dry without water.
Freezing and Canning
Bulletins
If you need the latest recom-
mendations on preparing fruits
and vegetables for the freezer

les, call or write us for the pub-
lication “Frozen Foods” or
“Home Canning.” The Exten-
sion Service telephone number

The Odle family reunion was
held Sunday, May 29 at Cam-
eron Park.
Those attending were Mr.
and Mrs. Ned Odle of West. Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Odle and Lyn-
ette of Elm Mott, Mr. and Mrs.
Don Odle and Tammy, Mrs.
Jerry Moore and children, and
Mr. and Mrs. Jot> De.Smit and

Child’s Dental Check-Up
At what age should young
parents start taking their chil-
dren to the family dentist?
You should arrange your
child's first visit to the dentist
by his third birthday — or as
soon as all 20 of his primary
teeth have appeared.
Never neglect the primary
teeth. If one of these teeth is
lost prematurely, the space may
close and the permanent teeth
can't grow into proper position.
Early visits to the dentist
make possible preventive dental
care.
On the first dental visit, rou-
tine cleaning and careful in-
spection of teeth and gums may
be all that is necessary for your
child. However. Texas records
show that this is often not the
case.
Many youth who enter high
school have never seen a dentist
according to records of the
State Department of Health.
Sheer Fabrics Call For
Special Seams
Are you planning to sew with
the sheer fabrics, such as voiles
and dotted swiss?
They are popular this season,
but their transparency calls for
special treatment of the seams.
Therq are three different
ways to make seams in sheer
fabrics.
The first method is to stitch
a plain 5/8 Inch seam with the
Mrs. Lee Siems
and Alan of | fight sides of the fabric togeth-
Houston, Mr. and Mrs. M. S.
Hahn and Sharon and Mr. and
Mrs. S. C. Lee and Sammy of

Leonard Bechtold and Pamela
and Mr. and Mrs. Sonny Shields
all of Hallsville. Several friends
also attended.
Our most common cause of
failure seems to be that of not
doing our best.

er. Make another row of stitch
mg within the seam allowance,
1/8 inch from the first seam.
Then trim the seam close to the
second stitching line.
Another method is to make a
French seam by placing the
wrong sides of the fabric to-
gether. Stitch a plain 3/8 inch
seam, and trim the seam allow-
ance to '.6 inch. Then turn the
garment with the right sides
together and press the garment
flat along the seam line. Baste
and stitch along the regular
5/8 inch seam line so that the
finished seam will be VI inch
wide.
A third method of seaming
sheer fabrics is a mock French
seam. Stitch the right side of
the fabric together along the
5/8 inch seam line. Next turn
the raw edges in VI inch toward
the seamline and sew together
by hand or machine to make a
3/8 inch seam.
Best results are usually ob-
tained by using the French
seam on straight seams and the
mock French seam on curved
seams where fitting is neces-
sary.
When choosing a pattern for
a sheer fabric, check to see that
sheers are recommended. The
garment will look better if few
seams are in evidence.

Jointless Tomato
Shows Promise
Researchers at Texas A&M
University’s Plant Disease Ex-
periment Station at Yoakum
are on the brink of developing
a jointless tomato.
A jointless tomato Is the
dream of big-time tomato grow-
ers, since it can be mechanical-
ly harvested. The idea is to eli-
minate the joint on the stem lo-
cated about an inch from the
fruit.
On ordinary varieties, when
the tomato is picked, a stem re-
mains on the fruit. The stem
punctures other tomatoes and
causes rapid spoilage. The stems
must either be removed by
hand or during processing.
Dr. A. L. Harrison, plant
pathologist at the A&M field
unit, has been selecting toma-
toes which have the jointless
characteristic. He has one in
breeding stock now — still just
a number — but it shows prom-
ise, he says.
At a recent field day at
Yoakum, Harrison demonstrat-
ed to visitors that the tomato
cannot be picked from the vine
and leave the stem on. It comes
off every time, since there is no
joint to break, he said.
Work is being carried on at
other A&M field stations and
on the main campus at College
Station. The researchers are
optimistic that before long a
jointless variety will be ready
to release to Texas tomato
growers.
Thirty-six new auto manufac-
turing companies were founded
in Detroit, during the first 8
months of 1910 — among them
being the Flanders, Paige, Case,
Federal, McFarland, Amplex,
and the Whiting.
On Monday night, at 8 p.m,.
a delegates’ meeting was called.
Very important matters were
discussed such as motions for
the KJT General Convention.
The meeting was adjourned
with a prayer.
MRS. FRANK PIBIL
FETED ON BIRTHDAY
Mrs. Frank Pibil was honored
on her 65th birthday, Sunday,
May 29, 1966, with a supper at
the Catholic Hall at Abbott.
In addition to the honoree,
