The canning center at Oold-
th waite High school Is now In
operation and some canning Is
being done each day.. Under the
able supervision of Mrs. Claude
Baoott and Mrs. Wellle Baylor,
any fruits or vegetables may be
brought there and full facilities
for canning will be made' avall-
able free. This center was open-
ed under the direction of the
Vocational Food Administration
In order that anyone 4n Mills
County with surplus garden or
orchard products and without
the necessary canning equip-
ment may come in and save the
food.. There Is no cost whatso-
ever to the user. However, he
must furnish his own Jars or
cans.
Mrs. Eacott states that anyone
who will have fresh corn for
canning should get in touch
with her, leaving the probable
amount and price which they
will charge for the com for oth-
ers. Corn for canning Is now be-
ginning to be a big item. Mrs.
Eacott states that anyone with a
surplus of com or other fruits or
vegetables should notify her_
stating probable amount and
price. There are any number of
people who will like to buy it
and save it—every bit should be
saved.
It is stressed that the canning
center is open to small or large
amounts of canning. No one
should hesitate to bring In a
small amount of produce for
canning, as that is primarially
the purpose of the canning cen-
ter,.

RAYDUREN
BUYS BURKETTS
Markets met In Judge Patter-
son’s office Friday
June 3, 1944, at nine o’clock,
with the following persons pres-
ent: Judge Patterson, Mr.
Man* (from University of Tex-
as), Hollis Blackwell, Karl Fair-
man and R. & “Worley, with
Lee R. Teason, Chairman.
After opening the meeting as
an open forum, Mr. Man* gave
us the purpose and Ideals of the
University, not to try to tell us
how to run our business in Mills
County but to lend any help
they might be able to give In
working out our problems.
An immediate need tor Mills
County was found to be public
scales.
Another need is storage facil-
ities where grain, etc., could be
stored. Tills would give buyers
a muftt better chance to give a
better price for new grain, or
enable producers to store for
better market conditions to pre-
vail.
A third recommendation is
that our feed grinding and mix-
ing industry be expanded, as it
than 19 per cent of our _____
fMds bought In Mina County an
processed here.
Vburth. We need an educa-
tional program In agrtciOun
so that we may put on the mar-
ket a more uniform and nearet
standard product. This » tm
especially in the ease ot eggs
wool, aid mohair. Should u*<
such outside aid as A, and M.
with local business men vbc
handle these products for the
producer. '
Fifth: We need more but-
chery equipment In order to takf
care of the turkey business; anc
possibly some setup for buying
finished turkeys hen.
Sixth: It was brought outthf
greatest drawback to market!
in Mills County was connection.’
with large outside markets oi
buyers. This seems to point to
ward not a lack, of finances, bu’
of management. . i
Submitted for your approva
or consideration.

Chairman of Committee or
Markets.

In these unusual days when
men’s souls are being tried, we
feeb the need “bf strength that
transcends the physical. To suc-
cessfully meet these crucial hours
we must draw strength from j
other sources than the human,
This strength can be found in
the study of the Bible,, in wor-
ship and fellowship together,
and in prayer. We maintain our
church that these avenues of
strength may be open to every
one. We invite you to meet with
us in all the services of the
church.
