Meend vfce- ' Mr- Mleeted " * dlrWUrJc* fn i /?aV : Drought and Heat Speed Up Canning The drought and heat of the past few weeks have speeded up tho canning season. Tho heat has made the fruit and vegetables ripen more quickly, while the dryness has affected their texture and made it imperative to can them the moment they are teady. v . There never Was a time when it was more important to can for the future and to see that nothing is wasted. During the month of May the Home Demonstration Olub women studied storage pantries and canning budgets. If the storage shelves are to be filled this season the farm woman must watch her garden and orchard closely and gather the vegetables and fruits the instant they^bre ready. The wide-awake home-maker will have everything ready in advance. If she is to can non-acid fruits and vegetables she will see that the steam pressure cooker is absolutely clean, and in good working order. The tin can sealer should be j washed and oiled and a few empty cans, sealed in order to test the perfection of the seal. All previously used cans should be well washed and reflanged for use again and a supply of new lids must be obtained. If glass jars are used they- must be washed and examined for cracks andj new tops and rubber rings purchased, j When all of this is done the homecanner is ready for work. When foods are acid as in the case of most fruits and tomatoes all forms of bacteria are killed quickly at the temperature of boiling water. In non-acid vegetables such as beans, ( com, peas the spore forms of bacteria j can be killed in a reasonable time only at temperatures higher than boiling water; therefore, if you do not have a pressure cooker, do not attempt to can corn, peas, string beans and Other non-acid vegetables. It is safer and better to dry or brine them. This year of all others the losses due to food spoilage should be avoided. In rare instance* food poisoning has occurred from vegetables put up j by old fashioned methods. Food that ! has spoiled can not always be de-j tected by smell or taste. One of the principal causes of food spoilage is the presence of on? or j another of^hreo minute organisms ( which are present in the air, soil,1 water and in fact everywhere. They. are yeast, mold and bacteria. Yeast j and mold are easily killed but ibacteria go through a spore phase in! their life cycle and are therefore the ( chief trouble makers in canning. i Miss .Craig and her assistants are now making up their- schedule for^ community canning days for duly and | August. Any community wishing a! canning day for putting up beans, j peas, com, soup mixture and other non-acid vegetables should get in touch with Miss Craig at once.

Juno 22,?.Leaders of three great religious faiths moved, tonight to wipe the dirt from the nation's silver screens. Bishops of the Roman Catholic church pressed forward to expand their "Legion of Decency" and to cic force through the .boxolTice thoiv do-; mands for "wholesome" movies. A leader of the central conference of American rabbis, voiced approval, of the Roman Catholic campaign and revealed plans of his own faith to act. Ohio Protestants criticized the state hoard of censors for lotting too mufn "get by" and urged complete rejection of pictures portraying "virtue as vice, or vice as virtue." What were the demands of the Roman Catholic committee of bishops served on the industry was not made known by either side. But, in general terms, the clorics declared for "wholesome" movies or none at all. To make sure, they announced plans to expand the "Legion of Decency" ( to "every town and city in the United iStates." pledging movie-goerR to boycott salacious and immoral shows. Already, they said, more than 1,000,000 persons had so sworn. The bishops?Archbishop John T. McNicholas, of Cincinnati; Bishop John J. Cantwell, of Los Angeles; Bishop Hugh Boyle, of Pittsburgh, and iBishop John F. Noll, of Ft. Wayne, Ind., met here yesterday. They conferred with. Joseph I. Breen, movieland's tsar of ^morals and Martin Quigley, of New Yorfk, publisher of theatrical magazines. With the Ohio synod of the Presbyterian church and the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America already moving to ends similar to those of the new-born "legion," .Ohio Protestants in general today moved for more direct action. The Rev. Dr. Henry Pearce Atkins, executive secretary of the Cincinnati Federation of ChurcheB, revealed that signatures are being sought to petitions to the Ohio board of censors. "We protest," the petitions say "your approval of pictures including licentiousness, crime and debauchery, shown in attractive forms with little or no reference to the penalties that inevitably must follow evil." Insisting that mere pruning is not enough, the petitions "urge you to reject completely pictures that have a bad influence upon the development of good citizenship and clean moral living." Meanwhile, Rabbi David Philipson, a leader of the central congress of American rabbis, wrote Archbishop McNicholas that "you are performing an \incalculable service in the cause of clean and decent recreation." The conference and the synagogue council of America, he advised, already were considering action of their own. News at Bethune | Bothune, June 27.?Among those attending the O. E.

White Youth Admits Guilt In Many Crimes , < Columbia, June 157.?Paul Griffin, 18-year-old white youth, was said by police today to have confessed to the single-handed abduction of two prominent upstate men and a series of burglaries here. Chief of Police W. H. Rawlinson said the young man admitted early today that he had forced A. B. Bryan, Clemson college extension editor, and J. E. Groc'e, Lyman mill personnel director, to drive their cars into the country at pistol point recently and robbed them. Griffin waived a preliminary hearing today on two charges of burglary and one of highway robbery with firearms lodged against him locally and was bound over to the Richland court of general sessions under $8,000 bond. He remained in jail in lieu ?f bail. Chief Rawlinson said any action by Spartanburg or Greenville authorities on the abduction confessions which he and Detective R. F. Broom obtained would have to be deferred until the disposition of the Columbia charges. Should the youth be convicted hero Rawlinson said, he could be turned over for trial upstate after~ serving his time here. Still in prison garb, Griffin was quoted as saying he had escaped from the Milledgeville, Ga., state prison by taking a guard's pistol. He was reported to have been serving a four-year term for a burglary in Appling county, Ga., at the time. After stripping Bryan of his money, clothes and car June 19, Griffin was said to have told of an attempted filling station holdup at Anderson as follows: I ^ ? "I was sticking up the place when the filling station man got a pistol and started shooting at me. He was about five feet away when he started shooting. He must have been scared because he didn't hit me. I was scared too. They "said I shot four times, but I didn't shoot but once. 1 was running."
