STOP FOOD WASTE

Start Community Food Preserva-
ton Center in your community to help
end food wastefulness. Now's the time
to begin planning to make sure that
no food that's raised goes to waste.
Begin by surveying the places
where food wastes occurred in your
locality last season; the garden truck,
for instance, that wasn't picked be-
cause Of labor shortages, the extra
vegetables in some family's garden
That they couldn't use, the fruit in an
others orchard that wasn't sold. Then
check up on your community food
needs. How many cans Of vegetables
do You need for your school lunch pro-
gram? How many families would can
from their own gardens if equipment
were available? When you've totaled
these items yol should be able to
make plans for a Community Food
Preservation Center.
Leadership to put the idea over,
volunteers to do the canning, a place
TO work, and the equipment to work
with, are the essentials for a Com
munity Center. Initiative for starting
it may come from one interested per-
son or from q public-spirited group or
organization. Nutrition committees,
local defense groups, wOmen's clubs,
labor unions, civic organizations may
furnish the spark that's needed.
An advisory board to determine
policy and direct financing and oper-
ating the center is another necessity.
4 board which represents all the in
terested groups in the community will
make the center a true community un-
dertaking.
It may take ingenuity and imagi-
nation to locate the equipment you
must have to carry on large-scale
canning operations since this year you
may not be able to buy it new. Look
around and try instead to find large
well-equipped kitchen that's used only
part of the time. Church kitchens,
high school cafeterias, clubs, summer
hotels that close down after Labor
Day, winter hotels that close in the
summer, are all possibilities. You
may have to borrow pressure cookers,
use secondhand cooking utensils.
\ useful blueprint that will guide
you through many Of the problems
that starting such a center involves is
the bulletin, Community Food Pres
ervation Centers,' prepared by the
Bureau of Home Economics of the De-
partment Of Agriculture. Send 10
cents to the Superintendent of Docu-
ments, Washington, D. c., for copy.
Then start planning, if you want a
canning center in your community
that will be a real contribution to the
task Of making America strong.

Appeal To Farmers
To Uphold Crops
Coordinutor OF Nuticnal
Program Asks Them
To Sign Pledge

Farmers Of CoIumbiana County
have been appealed to to help along
the nations war effort by eliminating
food waste and by producing only
farm crops Of unquestioned quality.
The appeal comes from H. c.
Darger, coordinator Of the National
Cream Quality Program, Chicago.
Mr.. Darger is Immediately con-
cerned with the waste involved in that
portion of cream produced on farms
which, because Of low standard Of
cleanliness or care in production or
handling or perhaps infrequent mar
keting, IS found on delivery to the
creamery TO be unfit for manufacture
ing into butter under the stringent
Federal food law regulations. Cream
thus rejected represents serious loss
to the nations nutrition as we'll as to
the farmers pocketbook. Mr.. Darger
estimates the loss to American farm
ers from unfit cream, including
seizures of shipments of cream and
butter and the loss from price diff
ferentials between cream and butter
that grade less than first quality, at
$40,000,000 annually This would in
dicate loss to Ohio farmers, who
produce "A per cent Of the nations
butter output, Of close to $1,748,C00 a
year, he figures.
According to Mr.. Darger, there is
no reason why any farmer should pro-
duce a poor grade of cream. Every
thing hinges on the care the cream re-
ceives on the farm and the frequency
with which it is delivered to the
butter-maker The required sanitary
precautions are easy and inexpensive
for the average farmer to carry out.
He can readily obtain any desired in
formation from the State Agricui-
tural College or from the cream buyer
or creamery with whom he does busi-
ness. The little extra trouble involved
in producing the best quality Of cream
not only makes available the maxi
mum Of protective food for the con-
sumer but extra dollars as we'll for
the farmer eXerting this extra care, he
said.
Farmers cooperating with the Ma
tional Cream Quality Program are be-
ing asked to sign pledge and TO dis
play a copy of it on their premises.
Some timely words of caution on
two problems pertaining to the pro-
duction of cream at this season We're
issued by Mr.. Darger. Do not keep
cream on the farm too long even in
cold weather, he states. If held too
long, it is likely to develop old, rancid
favors. 4 cave or cellar may be Of
the right temperature for holding the
cream, but if musty it will likely spoil
the delicate flavor. Cooking odors and
stored vegetables also affect the flavor
and cause the resulting butter to be
marked down in grade. Freezing is q
second hazard to be guarded against.
Frozen cream does not make high
grade butter; the freezing changes
the cream so that it results in mealy,
oily, undesirable butter. Cream Is
best kept in a clean odor-proof place,
in a temperature above freezing, and
must be protected from freezing on
the haul to market.

New York CitY's First
Air-Ruid Alarm Sounded

More amusing than the California
"raid" are the little-publicized details
of New York's first air-raid alarm
last week. Here's what happened:
Army officials at Governors Island
got a phone call (not Officially from
Washington asking if it were true
that unidentified planes were on the
way to New York. The officials called
the Associated Press, which had no
news of the planes but Immediately
checked Mitchell Field, Army inter-
ceptor base. Mitchell Field then called
Governors Island, learned that the
original tip came from Washington
and, apparently without waiting for
further elaboration, sprang into
action.

CLEANING FLOORS

Wash vanished, shellacked, or lac
Quered floors with mild soap and a
little water small area at time. To
preserve their finish and make them
easier to keep clean, wax such floors
every four to six months. Traffic lanes
that get heavy wear should, Of course,
be waZed oftener, perhaps once a
month. Self-polishing wakes are rec
commended by manufacturers to keep
linoleum, cork, mastic tile or rubber
floor coverings at their best.
Tile and marble floors should be
washed with soap and water and Il
fine securing powder used if neces-
sary. But be sure to wipe water up
from tile floors at once so that it
won't loosen the tiles.

It May Be 90 Degrees in the Shade
But Your Coal Bin Rates Check Up
Unnecessary Delay
May Bring Hardships
This Coming Winter

You can't say that you haven't
been warned.
You can't say, when the leaves
begin to fall, that you didn't
have enough time to order your
coal.
In another two months-at the
most-it is going to be almost
too late to get your coal supply.
Then you won't be ready when
the temperature begins to drop.
During the summer months,
when homeowners formerly
paid but little attention to their
coal bins, there had always been
a definite slump in coal produc-
ton. The producers called the
months the normal "off season"
period.
This year, though, because Of the
high rate of wartime production

Coal mining is one of the nations
major industries.
The last available reports on the
amount of coal mined show that
over 81 1897, 1886 tons of coal were
prepared for consumption.
Chief soft coal producing states
are Pennsylvania, West Virginia, IL
linois, and Kentucky. Anthracite
(hard) coal is produced principally
in Pennsylvania, around Wilkes
Barre and Scranton.
Coal Exports.
Coal exports amount to sizeable
figure, too. In 1910 --latest data
available) over 16, 456, 1928 tons were
exported. The majority Of the an
thracite exported went to Canada.
Coke production, coal by-prod-
uct, also assumed gigantic proper
tons. Data shows that over 49,
832, 40 tons were produced in 1910.
The gas from. coke production is
also used for fuel purposes.
Employment in the coal mining
industry has declined ever since
1920. That year there were 1874, 621
persons employed. Ten years later
1880 there were ga, 006 at work.
In 1910 the number had further de-
creased to SIS, 200.
Crude Oil Production Increase.
Crude oil production in the United
States, also, has steadily increased
according to statistics.
In 1920 there were AZ, 929, 900 bar
rels az gallons to a barrel) Of oil
drawn from the earth. Its value
was 81. 800, 745, 900. But the figures
in 1910 were 1851, 847, 900 barrels,
valued at $l.352, 0Oo, 000-a decrease
in price.
The United States produced-in
1940--over half of the oil marketed.
Russia was next in line with just
slightly more than one-fifth Of the
United States total.

not done your full BIT TO insure
warmth for your home, or flnal
victory for your country.
Check Heating System.
This is the time Of the year-h
ever-to see to it that the homes
heating system is cleaned, inspect
ed, and repaired if necessary.
Neglect now, during the summer
months, can damage your home
heating apparatus more than win
ter season of hard activity.
Lack of ventilation in the base
ment, high humidity, condensation,
or corrosion can soon play havoc
with heating plant. More than
often it does, as shown by the short
life Of most smoke pipes which last
only two or three years.
Improper operation, lack Of main
tenance, excessive stack losses.

What lies ahead for those who
have not purchased their coal dur
ing the off-season is easy to see. At
the present time American industry
has not, as yet, reached its full
wartime capacity of production for
Victory. Fall and early winter will
see the nation at this peak period.
They'll Be Out of Luck.
Then, when industry is humming
its song of death for Hitler and his
stooges, if Mr.. Jones, or Mr.. Slo-
polk, or Mrs. Andy Tardie have not
ordered their coal to keep the home
fires burning, it is very probable
that they are going to be out Of
luck. They'll probably have to spend
some very miserable days until the
coal they order LATE arrives.
Why so?
Here's why: Increased production
to peak records in U. S. factories
is going to require more coal. It
stands to reason that IL the mines
are now working at 80 per cent Of
capacity (and industry has not yet
reached its peak of production
nor coal consumption), when the
peak does arrive Uncle Sam is GO
ing to see to it that those industries
get all the coal they want, as often
as they want it, and no questions
asked.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1942-06-26

are damned to capacity. Railroad
ers will tell you, with a touch Of the
Paul Bunyan spirit, that the rails
just can't cool off. Rivermen will
tell you that no sooner do the waves
from one river vessel ease off on
the beach, before another swell
starts rolling in. When the peak is
reached in production you can imag-
inc what the thousands Of home own
ers who wait until later" to order
their coal are doing to add to the
groaning weight Of traffic on the
railroads, rivers and highways.
You owe it to your own comfort
this coming winter, but especially
to your nation out to win the gigantic
struggle with Hitler and his part
ners, to make necessary provisions
in advance.
Get It Now.
Despite the fact that bituminous
coal production is now running over
