equipment, but borrowed kettles and
wash boilers can be utilized to ad-
vantage.
There wasn't pressure cooker,
but, as Mrs. Powley explained, the
average home doesn't have a pres
sure cooker, either, So the open
kettle and hot water bath were the
canning methods applied.
Best Results With Simplest
Equipment Is Goal.
Object of the class was to teach
the women how to achieve the best
results with the simplest equipment.
This principle was carried out
even In the selection OF containers.
Since regulation preserving jars
were not available, the women COL
iected old mayonnaise jars in pint
and quart sizes.
These presented a sealing prob
lem, which was solved by use of
self-sealing discs, with the original
tops then screwed tightly over them.
Cleanliness was stressed as half
the battle" in successful canning,
Mrs. Powley said.
Using only surplus commodities,
the class has put up jars of stewed
tomatoes, carrots, plain, picked and
spiced beets; green tomato relish
and a corn and tomato mixture.
Processing corn in the hot-water
bath rather than by the pressure
cooker Is risky job, Mrs. Powley
pointed out. unless an acid is added.
So the tomatoes were included.
In similar class for colored
women at Burrville School students
brought apples, string beans and
okra from their own gardens.
Mrs. Powley'u urges the women to
follow Government reports of fresh
produce that is plentiful, not only to
can for the winter but for current
needs.
And she also suggests a trip to
the grocer on Saturday night for
leftover produce.
Timed Foods Vanishing
From Grocers' Shelves.
With timed goods rapidly disap-
pearins from the grocers shelves,
the canning project is regarded as
especially important.
Most of the women in her class
at Barney Neighborhood House have
had experience in canning but were
interested In Mrs. Powley's methods.
Even though her two classes were
kept small, Mrs. Powley hopes that
the women will interest their neigh
bors in similar groups.
Mrs. Powley, by the way, has had
considerable professional experience,
one of her jobs having been to con-
duct cooking schools for two New
York newspapers.
Her class at Barney Neighborhood
House consisted of six sessions,
which have Just been completed.
Now on the schedule is party
Thursday at which the work of the
season will be divided among the
group.
In addition to Mrs. Powley, the
class hopes to have with them Mrs.
r. W. Hudgens. wife of an assistant
administrator Of the Farm Security
Administration, who is acting chair
man of agriculture and nutrition for
the AWVS. Mrs. Hudgens made ar
rangements for the class at Barney
Neighborhood House.
Another AWVS member who has
Joined the group on several occa-
sions is Mrs. Malcolm Moss, place
ment chairman of nutrition.
Mrs. Moss likes to visit the vari-
Gus projects for which she obtains
volunteer workers and, in addition,
has been using part OF her gas
ration to help Mrs. Powley transport
some Of the canning equipment.
