where several hundred cat-calling
pickets appeared when the shift

lence was reported, and hundreds
of workers, white and Negro,

Company officials said the
working force on the midnight to

cut about so per cent but had no

WASTE BY CARELESSNESS

Quite bit has been said over the
radio and in the press about le-
canning foods from tin cans to ones
own glass jars to avoid declaring
the number of cans, then finding
that the foods are spelling.
! certainly don't believe in
boarding, but if one resorts to such
methods, why not take the precau-
ton to see that the food doesn't
spoil One is advised to buy in
large cans as being cheaper, which,
in a small family, would be waste
unless part was recanned. But in
any case, the recanned foods should
be treated like raw material and
processed by heat as such. Foods
reprocessed and recanned would
then keep till used or reopened.
