Pupils of 0. H. S.

The girls of the vocational and gen.
eral Home Economics classes of Oak
land High school studied food preser-
walton for the past month, under the
direction of Mrs. G. E. Bishoff, in
structor. The course consisted of can
ming vegetables, fruits, pickles, rel
ishes, chill sauce, meats, jelly, butter,
preserves and conserves. Twenty-four
pupils canned 1888 jars during the
month, an average of 6 jars for each
pupil.
Methods used were cold and hot
pack, open kettle and the use of pre-
servatives. The products were pro-
cessed in a hot water bath. The ma
jority furnished their own products,
the Board of Education furnishing the
spices, vinegar, sugar and certo.
An exhibit was held October 10 and
winners were awarded blue, red and
yellow ribbons. Mrs. George Hanst,
former State Girls Club leader of
West Virginia, judged the products.
The winning jars will be shown in
the windows of the Farmers Bank
next week.
