The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-07-30

ing what they wish to can and at what time they can be present, and the time and supervision will be theirs.
 In the afternoon there is to be a demonstration by the Home Demon stration agent at Sanford house at o'clock on Sugar Conservation in Canning and in the making of jams and coQserveS. One of the marma- lades which Miss Weed is to demon strate Is carrot marmalade which even your husband would not detect as being concocted of that homely vegetable and better still it is made with no sugar---yet it is a very lus- cious marmalade. Come and learn how 1t is done.
 On Friday the Rowland Dry Goods company has given the City Home Economic Committee the privilege of using one of the counters in their store as a local headquarters for the day for the women of Bridgeport to secure first hand information con- | corning their canning difficulties. Miss Weed is to be there with dis play of canned material from to 5 with which to illustrate good and bad points in home canned products. Come and meet her, for she IS entirely at your service throughout the coming year, whether it is to help you with your canning, to tell you how you can use the substitutes to the best ad- vantage, how to get along without sugar or to plan a Hoover supper that is really good for your church, lodge or club, etc. Come and talk it over with her.
 Important---This is the last oppor- tunity for the patriotic home maker of Bridgeport to show her loyalty to her government along the canning lines. The volunteer members of the City Home Economics Committee are to be present at the Rowland Dry Goods store from until 12 and until | 5 distributing the canning quota pledge cards and it is to be our last chance to boost Bridgeport away over the top in it's quota of one hundred thousand quarts. Our population is over 250,000 and is growing every day so the quota means much less than half 8 quart a person. We must do this much or in the winter we may be very sorry that we did not make l the utmost effort to secure every bit | of produce one may say almost re- gardless of price---for it is food and food this winter is ta be mighty scarce. Did you know that Connec- ticut supplies only one-fifth of all of its food---that the government is talk ing over, over 60 per cent. of all the canned goods for our boys and our Allies---that leaves but 40 per cent. and even less for us.. If every family cans 60 quarts we are going over the | top---but think of those families who are spending all of their day in those ! hot munition factories---tt is up to those of us who have better access to 1 the crops and more time to do our 60 quarts and to do their 60 quarts to which will mean that they can go to the grocery stores this winter and find canned goods there to buy---while we will go to our own storage shelves and use our home canned products. Otherwise we are going to be short of vegetables and fruits if this city cannot make it's quota This is the last week that you can tell the gov ernment what your plans are---and really have it help. Go to Rowland s and meet the committee or phone Miss Weed not later than Il o'clock Saturday morning telling that you are going to do many more than the min imum of six quarts that you must have to be within the zone of safety.
 Saturday, Miss Weed is to be at headquarters, Sanford house, 221 Washington avenue, from g until 12 to meet those who wish to consult her in person or those who desire to phone her, Noble 936.
