I • A - ’ ’Vi Presbyterian Music Group Is Organized At the 1970 Montreat Church Music Conference, meeting at the Conference Center of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, a new organiza tion was voted into being; the Presbyterian Association of Musicians. This week long conference was attended by more than 1,000 persons, all of whom are in volved in church music leader ship in Presbyterian Churches or other institutions. The new association was inaugurated at an enthusiastic meeting on July 26, after a year’s preparation by a Constitution-writing com mittee. Elected to the Presi dency by the Charter Members was Miss Adele Dieckmann of Trinity Presbyterian Church of Atlanta, Georgia, who is cur rently Chairman of Public Re lations for the American Guild of Organists. The Vice Presi dent is Dr. David McCormick of Tyler, Texas, who directed the Montreat Music Conference in 1969. Appointed as Executive Secretary is the Reverend Horace T. Allen, Jr., Director of the Office of Worship and Music of both the Southern and United Presbyterian Churches. The aims of the association were described by Mr. Jerry Black, Treasurer of the As sociation as follows: (i) to be a means of keeping musicians in contact with others who are serving in the same denominatin and who therefore are dealing with common problems, (2) to be able to speak to the de nomination with a single and effective voice, (3) to assist musicians seeking to respond to the changing needs of the pre sent time, and (4) as a denomi national society to bring together both professional and volunteer musicians serving in widely different situations. The new association looks forward to being in communica tion with other denominational musicians’ organizations such as the Fellowship of United Methodist Musicians, and also with such professional bodies as the American Guild of Organists. THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., August 6, 1970—3-B Tips On Canning BY HELEN C. CAMP EXTENSION HOME ECONOMIST Food spoils because of the action of tiny organisms known as mold, yeast, and bacteria. These are present in the air, water, and soil. Enzymes that may cause undesirable changes in flavor, color, and texture are present in raw fruits and vege tables. Canning is the process of heating food long enough and hot enough to destroy spoilage organisms. This heating (pro cessing) also stops the action of enzymes. Fruits and tomatoes contain acid, and this acid helps to kill or inactivate bacteria or keep them from growing. A tempera ture of 212 degrees F. is suf ficient to kill or inactivate bac terial in foods that contain acids so a boiling water bath may be used. Steam Pressure Canning is recommended for low-acid vegetables. It processes food under pressure at a tem perature of 240 degrees F. (10 pounds pressure at sea level to 2,000 feet above). Low acid vegetables must be heated to this high a temperature to des troy the bacterial organisms that cause spoilage, including the one causing the very dan gerous botulism. Steam pressuring is not only the safest way but also the quickest way to can low-acid vegetables. For example, it re quires about 100 times as long to kill the same organisms at 212 degrees F. as it does at 250 degrees F. Thus 12 minutes at 250 degrees F. has the same processing effect as 20 hours at 212 degrees F. For high quality canning at home, you need good equipment kept in clean condition. A steam-pressurer canner at standard equipment for home canning. Models and sizes are available to meet the needs of every family. A canner will last a long time if it is well cared for. Pressure saucepans are not recommended for can ning unless they are equipped with an accurate gauge to in dicate and control pressure. Complete instructions come with every pressure canner. Read and follow carefully in structions on the use and care of your canner. A canner is not dangerous if it is used correctly. Water-bath canners are on the market. But any large metal container may be used as a boiling-water-bath canner if it is deep enough so that the water comes well over the tops of the jars and has space to boil freely. Allow 2 to 4 inches above jar tops for brisk boiling. The can ner must have a tightfitting cover and a wire or wooden rack. If the rack has dividers the jars will not touch one another nor fall against the sides of the canner during pro cessing. If a steam-pressure canner is deep enough, you can use it for a water bath. Put the cover on, but do not fasten it. Leave the petcock wide open so that the steam can escape and pressure does not build up inside the canner. The two main types of con tainers for canning are glass jars and tin cans. Various sizes and styles of each are avilable. Foods canned in glass jars re quire longer to absorb the nee* essary heat for adequate pro cessing than those canned in tin cans. However, since foods pro cessed in tin cans maybe cooled more rapidly than thaw in glass jars, the processing times re commended for foods in tin cans are sometimes longer. Special types of enamel linings are re commended in tin cans used for vegetable products that contain small amounts of sulfur and for fruit products having a soluble red pigments. Be sure all glass jars and lids are perfect Discard any with cracks, chips or dents. To day many commercial foods, such as mayonnaise, are pack aged and sold in reusable glass jars. If these are reused for home canning, they should be used only for boiling water bath canning. It is not advisable to use them with pressure-canner processing.
