AGENT DRIES MANY PRODUCTS
WITH SUCCESS.
Eighteen Different Fruits and Vege

Miss Whitaker.

Fruits and vegetables may be
dried in the home by simple pro-
cesses and stored for future use.
Especially when canning is not feas-
| ible, or cans and jars are too ex-
pensiVe, drying offers a means of
saving large quantities of surplus
products which go to waste each year
in garjens and orchards. Drying
also affords a way of conserving por-
tons of food which are too small for
canning.
In Madison parish the home dem
onstratlon agent, Miss Rebecca Whit
aker, has dried successfully Is diff
ferent Lonisiana-groWn fruits and
vegetables, and the exhibit "of these
products in her office at Tallulah is
said to be one of the most complete

CHAPTERS CONSULTED AS TO
FUTURE ACTIVITIES.

With the coming of peace the
American Red Cross has reached a
turning point in its history. During
the last two years it's strength has
been focused on war needs, making
provisions for the welfare of our
fighting men here and abroad and
caring for their families. The great
war is ended, but the world still
needs the help of the Red Cross to
combat widespread disease and hui
man suffering resulting from it, and
also to build here in America a
healthier and finer community life.
Today the Red Cross is confront
ed with the question of how the
chapters can utilize their splendid
organization to meet these demands.
The National Executive Committee
has already outlined a future pro-
gram Cor Nursing, Home Service and
Junior Membership and First Aid.
Before deciding on further details,
the Executive Committee has ap-
pointed a National Committee on
Chapter Activities that is conduct
ing a study to determine what az
tivities the various Chapters feel
might properly be conducted under
the Red Cross. This Committee is
extremely anxious to secure the opin-
ion of all Chapters as to the types
Of WORK they may pursue. Com.
munity needs and demands will
necessarily widely differ, and there
fore, I full and frank statement on
the part of the Executive Commit
tees Of each Chapter as to what &C
tivities should continue and what
new ones might be taken up will be
very helpful.
Through a QUESTIONABLE issued
by the National Committee on Chap
ter Activities and distributed thru
the Gulf Division together with other
divisions Of the American Red Cross.
the Chapters have been asked t
submit the method that made their
work effective and to express theil
individual desires for future work
1t is requested that answers to the |
QUESTIONABLE be sent to Division |
Headquarters with the least possible |
delay.
