1 [CUI *-* MS PUBLISHED W E EK LY IN OUR PLAN T ON VOL. 17, NO. 27 Beaverton, Oregon, Friday, August 4. 1944 Can There, If Yon Can "Can there. , if you can” , is a fre quent comment from the satisfied patrons ot the Garden Home Com munity Cannery at Progress. Right now beans and berries are most popular items to go in the cans, al though apricots are coming along at a pretty good rate. In ordet to clarify several things in regard to the Cannery, we wish to take this opporunity to say once more that it is not necessary for a canner to be a member, nor is the cannery just for canners close to Gar den Home or Progress. In addi tion to Tigard, Beaverton, Aloha. Multnomah, etc., canners are coming fro mall parts of Portland. All arc welcome, whether members or not. Why have a membership then, you may ask. First, for your own protec tion. In the busy weeks, those hold ing membership cards will be given preference as regards using the can nery facilities. In other words, the time will come very shortly, when only members may be accommodated, due to the space and equipment limi tations. A flve-dollar membership is not for this season alone, but for all future years. Second, the Garden Home Com munity Cannery is a non-profit com munity venture. Hundreds of dol lars worth of labor and much equip ment was donated, in order that sur plus food might be utilized, canners be accommodated, school cafeterias and church and charitable organiza tions benefitted, etc. I'or further costs, the Cannery had to depend on its membership, 400 of which are needed in order to take care of the initial expense. Until now, member ships have largely come in because of interested persons who personally told their friends of the venture, but within the next week, it is hoped that the goal will be reached, and the membership list closed. If you are interested in boosting a community venture that will be a benefit to you and to others for year3 to come, if you want to be sure of your canning privileges at the Can nery for the future, now is the time to take that membership. Applica tion blanks may be obtained at the Murphy Real ¿state office in Multno mah, or will be sent on request by phoning CH. 1354 or CH. 2250. Or you may mail your check to the Gar den Home Community Cannery, Gar den Home, Oregon. See pictures on Page 3. Treasures From South Sea Mr. and Mrs. Harry Eliander of Progress, Oregon, were the thrilled recipients of a gift from their son this week. Any mail from Harry Fred erick Eliander, Jr., —R T 1-c, is the occasion for joy for the Elianders, as he has been in the South Pacific the atre of war since September 5, 1943, but to have a large package arrive was a red-letter day for them. Upon opening it they found that Harry had indulged in little joke of his own, for it contained a typical grass skirt for his Dad, and a very elaborate one for his mother. In addition there were two very handsome wall-hang ings of the type the natives make and use. A smaller box contained sev eral beautiful necklaces and bracelets made of assorted shells. These shells were entirely different than anything usually seen, and woven in such intri cate patterns and displaying such ex quisite colors that everyone who sees them is amazed at their beauty.
