Also housewives are busy filling their glass jars at home. It is estimated that the sea son will find the homes of this area supplied with near 200,000 cans of vegetables, fruits and meats. A look in at the cannery reminds one of busy bees, stor ing and sealing the cells of Winter stocks. In an or derly way women and some men are crowded in, and edged in like a working swarm. Tuesday 2700 cans were completed and a record day was 2900. The sea son opened with asparagus, then followed berries, cherries, peas, beans, tomatoes, beets, carrots, peach es, and now will go on with more beans, pears, corn, meats, and so on until late October. It gives us a patriotic thrill to witness the great ef forts in these days to fortify the home fronts. It is just as important as buying bonds and this communi ty is equally proud of both projects of defense. As long as we feed our citizens and workers at home, and buy bonds, we can feel assured of the final out come of the struggle. We cannot help but advise that every housewife, in home, tent or trailer, who has neglected to can, should be reminded by her neighbor and urged to take advantage of the great supply of products at her door which can be laid away against high prices and costly points. In addition to canned goods the region is full of potatoes, root crops, meats, dairy products, eggs, and winter fruits to provide further balanced rations for a strong, well fed fighting people. We should not fear an over supply, and if we have enough left over for another year, it will be needed. Then we may have to become the good Samaritan for starving millions, and the products of another year will be shipped across to starving children, women and men of our friendly countries, and, according to the American way, even to our present enemy peo ples, drawn into the strife against our civilization by tyrant leaders and false ideologies.
