Cut Down
Dining Table
By PouIine Groves

Oversize coffee tables are O
Joy indeed. They're large
enough to accommodate all the
miscellany, from magazines to
coffee cups, that you could
wish. And they provide extra
space when buffet dining is the
order of the day.
Illustrated is just such a ia
BILE and it was achieved by cut
ting down an old oak dining
table. The cut was made at
the pedestal, where it joins the
table top. Many such tables
can be found in secondhand
stores, ideal for use In today's
homes if you have the ability
to enviSion the finished prod
uct.
Lowering the table is the
first step. Refinishing is the
second.
Remove the existing finish
with a good paint remover.
then sand the table until it is
satiny to the touch. Apply a
coat of gray paint, then wipe
it off, so that the grain Of the
wood shows through. The
stippled effect on top was
achieved by dripping black and
white paint from tubes of oil
paint on the surface. Let one
drop fall, then move the tube
as the residue OF the drop
trails of.
For a natural finish, use sew
eral coats Of clear Shellac,
sanding between each coat, anC
top it of with wax.

CITY IS I'm THE RED" AS CHERRY
CANNING STARTS AT LOCAL PLANT

Port Clinton will be Gin the
red" during the next few days as
tons of sour cherries are brought
to the Gypsum Canning Company's
plant, South Railroad Street, from
orchards in the Bellevue, Port
Clinton and Toledo areas.
This years crop is labelled
"short" and is only 25 per cent Of
the usual pack. A few cherries
were brought here for processing
Wednesday but the production
line will not start until Friday
and will continue until Wednes-
day, July Is.
A crew of so men and women
has been hired to handle the can
ming. When the cherries are
brought to the local cannery, they
are dumped into huge watts for
washing. After processing through
several washing operations, they
travel by conveyors to the pitting
machines.
Women inspectors continue to
weed out imperfect cherries as
the fruit travel along the convey
or belts. The kuge pitting ma
chimes take out hundreds of pits

with each rotation. After being
washed, pitted, sorted and inspect
ed, the cherries are dumped into
cans and carried to steamers
where they are cooked. Following
cooling, the cans are stored and
are labelled during the slack sea-
son.
While the plant is located in
Northport, Michigan, Port Clinton
also is office headquarters for the
Northport Cherry Factory, Inc.
Richard A. "Dick" Rice, manager
of both companies, was in North
port early this week comforting
with growers.
Manager Rice and secretary
Mrs. Russell Carnes will leave
for Northport this weekend, where

rieS is to start next week.
A bumper tomato crop is anti
cipated this year and the tomato
canning operation at the Gypsum
