| Notes
3y Mary Lou Rideou:
The Food Preservation Contest,
sponsored by the Homemakers’
Council, was won by Mrs. Albert
Compton, Sutton and Mrs. Or
lando Byers, Wasilla. Congratula
tions to these two. No snowballs
will need to be served these fam
ilies this winter. Judging was bas
ed on quantity, in proportion to
the size of families; variety; qual
ity; storage and records.
Mrs. Compton, who won first
prize, had very adequate storage
space for her canned meat and
vegetables and many jars of jel
lies and jams. Frozen meat in
cluded moose, caribou, salmon,
rabbit, duck and chicken along
with a nice variety of frozen vege
tables. As busy as Mrs- Compton
is each day she did have time,
with the help of members of her
family to get some blueberries
and cranberries. In a bin were
stored potatoes, turnips and cab
bage.
It seems that Mrs. Byers not
only preserved food, but likes best
to experiment with different foods
in finding a satisfactory way to
preserve them. She had utilized
rose hips and cranberries in a
number of different ways, was
proud of her mossberrv jelly and
green tomato jam. A fishing trip
to the Kenai peninsula resulted
in crab, salmon, trout, and white
fish for Mrs. Byers freezer. In ad
dition to frozen and canned
moose, there was moose tallow
dried celery leaves. Vegetables
were canned, some frozen, and
others stored. Carrots were in
sawdust, parsnips in a box, and
there were four pints of honey.
Mrs. Harold Winegarner and
Mrs. James Hulbert were the
judges for this contest which was
open to any Valley woman.
