w IN spirit Ol ell
terprise. the Brunswick Bank and
Trust company announces that it is
going to aid the people OF Glynn
county in the matter of canning
vegetables this summer. 1t has al
ready been stated that the Glynn Can
ming company will can the vegetables
without charge to the people, except
the actual cost of preparation. Now
the Brunswick Bank and Trust com
pany proposes to give away abso-
lutely free $4,000 preserving cans to
be used in the work. The step is in
line with the request of the president
of the United States looking to both
saving and conservation in the
food supply and no doubt the people
generally will avail themselves Of the
generous offer.
President F. d. Aiken of the B.
B. and #. Co., yesterday issued the
following letter on the subject:
To the Citizens of our City and Coun-
ty:
Our government is urgently asking
that a greater quantity of food be
raised at this time to meet the extra
ordinary conditions existing on ac.
count of the war
i1,1i hot
ty will cooperate in every respect.
and it is possible that such co-opera-
ton will result in a greater supply
Of vegetables being raised than can
be consumed. Therefore, the neces-
sity is upon us to have the surplus
stock canned so that no loss may be
sustained
The Glynn Canning Co has stated
that two days in each week they will
can such vegetables as are permit.
ed to be canned under the law, with
out charge, except the actual cost o.
preparing the product to can and the
cost of the cans.
In order that there may be no
waste, and with a sincere desire to
aid our citizens, we have procured
approximately $1,000 cans which are
at the disposal of all citizens who
wish to avail themselves of this Of
fer, without charge; the only condi
ton we make is, that such products
as are canned shall be for home con
sumption, and not be placed on the
market. 1t will be necessary for you
to deliver your vegetables to the
Glynn Canning Co, and procure from
us an order for the cans.
AS long as our supply of cans last
we will be glad to place at your dis
posal a sufficient number to meet
the requirements of your immediate
family. AS there is shortage OF
cans, and as we desire, as far as pos
5ible 10 assist all citizens by distrib-
uting these free cans so they will help
tne greatest NUMBER, we peg tnat you
confine your requests for cans to your
actual necessities.
The following methods should be
used in preparing vegetables at home
or the purpose of canning:
Tomatoes: Select full ripe toma
toes, dip in boiling water for sufft-
:ient time for peel to slip. Take out
md when sufficiently cooled, pare the
core and take off skin Care should
be used so as TO avoid cutting into
pods of the tomatoes as much as pos
ible.
String Bean Young beans should
be selected, all strings taken off and
beans broken in small pieces one inch
long.
Okra AS this vegetable has to be
blanched befc - canning, IL cannot be
prepared at u u when intended TO
