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.

Religions Faiths IJ nit e
For Cleaner Pictures
Cincinnati. 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.

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."
