Cannery Opens
Here June 10

The Tabor City community can
merry will resume operation on
Thursday, June 10. No appoint
ments are necessary for the can
ming of vegetables and fruits, but
patrons are asked to come to the
cannery with their produce be-
tween the hours of 8 am. and IL
noon, as no produce will be ac-
cepted after that hour. Patrons
are asked to bring whatever pans,
knives or small equipment that
may be needed.
The management advises that
you not can extremely large guam
titles at one time and that you
be careful to keep produce cool
during the entire preparation
from gathering until canning.
Produce left standing in piles
or pans may heat and sweat,
which encourages the growth of
bacteria and thus may cause
poilage. Corn should not be
gathered until the morning of the
day it is to be canned, aMd prefer
IDLY then when the dew is on it.
It should be brought 20 the can
merry in the shuck. SoHe re%e
ables, such as beans may be gath
cred the day before if kept cool.
However, the sooner after gather
ng produce is canned, the more
desirable will be the reult.

For instance, private will draw
$3.50 a week for two hours drill
a week and full pay for the Is
day summer encampment. First
SergeantS will draw a weekly sal
airy Of $3.50.
Colonel Hall said it is not nee
esSary that men enlisting in the
company come from Columbus

carolina counties may join if they
80 desire.
Ex-servicemen desiring to join
the National Guard here in many
cases will be able to do so at the
rate held at the time of DISCHARGE
