aware Of the fact that food will
win this war;" and they also re-
gard this production and conserva-
ton of food as a high patriotic duty.
In this school there were quite many
ladies besides the club members.
Some of the ladies were Mrs. ]. E..
Peterson, Mrs. Steinfort, Mrs. DR..
Whitemore, Mrs. Meyer. etc. The
club, members who canned their
vegetables were Helen Steinfort,'
leader of the Donnelly bread baking
team and secretary of the garden
club. Eugene Eddy, president of the
garden club, Dale Peterson, Newell
Lundquist, Edison Lundquist, Dor
othy Peterson, Melvin Leaf, Cora
Eddy, Louise Erstad, and others.
The enthusiasm shown by these club
members and their mothers was most
gratifying.
The next canning school will be
held at Morris in the domestic
science laboratory of the high school
building, Friday, July 26. The first
school will begin at a. m. sharp.
There will be both individual and
team demonstrations given at, this
school. There are 10 gardeners in
the Morris garden and canning pro-
ject, and on that account there will
be little more stress put on straight
demonstration in individual and
team work, and not quite so much
on actual canning. 1t must be made
certain that each and every member
of the canning school understands
every step in the cold pack method
so we'll that he or she can go right
home and can many dozens of jars
of vegetables and fruits this summer
and fall, and that without the least
chance to spoil. 1t is hoped that
every Morris boy or girl gardener
who is interested in helping our be-
loved country through this great
danger unto victory and peace, will
be present at both these sessions of
this canning school. 1t is not neces-
sary to bring any vegetables and
fruits along, but everybody is in
vited to receive the instruction given
at this school. The county club
leader hopes to see the best canning
school to be held at Morris, because
of the true spirit of the junior citi-
zens of our county's capital and ad-
vantages which other parts of the
county do not have. 1t is also
heartily desired that mothers cooper
ate with the boys and girls in this
noble work, the biggest true lesson
in practical patriotism and citizen
ship and practical education. with
out the parents cooperation not
much success will be accomplished.
Genuine patriots seldom assert their
love of country and loyalty, for their
service to their country tells the
story.
On Saturday, July 27, the same
kind of school will be held at Han
cock, the first session beginning at
8 a. m. and the second at 1870 p.
m. sharp. Also at this school it will
not be necessary to have the club
members bring foods to can, for
much stress will be laid upon in
didual and team demonstration, so
every member will be safely able to
proceed at once to can everything de-
sirable in vegetables and fruits, to
make the Hancock gardens do their
duty towards America not for three
but for twelve months this year.
The Hancock club members are
every bit as enthusiastic as those of
any club in the county. Two of the
very best and most efficient club |
members and gardeners are the Off
GERS of this fine club. They are
Jessie Bonn, president, and Francis |
Conroy, secretary. Mr.. Grafelman |
reports these as two of the best |
officers and gardeners in the whole |
county. It is hoped that the mothers
and fathers of Hancock encourage |
and cooperate with their boys and |
girls in this noble work, that they |
will realize this most valuable lesson |
in real citizenship and loyalty.
The club pledge for every boys
and girls club in Uncle Sans DOM
inion is: II consecrate my head, my
heart, my hands, my health to food
production and food conservation to
help to win the world war and world |
peace" The club motto is: To
make the best better. The objects
