Nugget Club
Members of the Nugget Home
makers’ club held their July 26
meeting at the home of Carmen
Spletzstozer with five members
, and one guest present.
Plans for the Fair booth and
the program for next year was
topics for discussion. Club mem
bers voted to contribute $5.00 to
the Cancer drive.
Each year our Club sends one*

a new member.
Our next meeting will be held

Canning Equipment
Homemakers have time to give
their home canning equipment a
thorough check before they start
their garden harvests.
Careful canning means winter
food rich in flavor, minerals and
vitamins, Mrs. Lydia Fohn-Han
sen said today. Mrs. Fohn-Han
sen is Extension Service associa
te director for home demonstra
tion work.
Both a boiling water bath can
ner and a steam pressure canner
or cooker are needed for home
canning. The boiling-water bath
canner supplies enough heat to
destroy molds, yeast and bacter
ia that cause spoilage of fruits
and tomatoes. The canner should
be deep enough for the water to
cover the tops of the jars by two
inches without boiling over. A
lard can is often used. The jars
should be set on a rack or in a
metal basket to keep them from
'touching the bottom of the can.
The cover should have a few
holes punched in it.»
The steam pressure canner
should always be used for can
ning corn, peas, beans and all
other vegetables. It is also used
for meats and poultry. The
heavy steel canner has a cover
which may be clamped down
to make it steam-tight. It is fit
ted with a safety valve, a pet
cock and a dial pressure gauge.
The latter should be checked by
the home demonstration agent at
least once a year.
Oven-canning is not recom
mended by Mrs. Fohn-Hansen.
Jars may explode in the oven, or
food may spoil because of under
processing.
Canning will be more easily
and quickly done with these
small pieces of equipment on
hand; wire basket, colander,
sieve or strainer, food mill and
chopper, funnel, ladle with lip
and jar lifter to remove jars.
Sourdough Club
The Sourdough Homemakers’
club met July 12 at Ruth Estel
le’s. Roll call was answered
with suggestions for the Fair
booth. Mrs. Darnett of Los An
geles, Calif, was a guest.
Amy Irwin reported on the
subject, “How to get the most
for your dollar”, which was giv
en at the last Council meeting by
Mr. Gazaway.
We discussed a blueberry tour
in August, but no action was
taken. One dollar per member
was assessed to help build up
the Council treasury.. It was vot
ed to join the Country Woman’s
League.
A special all-day meeting will
be held at Viola Thuma’s August
9 to work on the Fair booth.
Happy Valley Club
Members of the Happy Valley
Homemakers’ club held its an
nual picnic July 13 at Finger
Lake.
The next regular meeting will
be on August 10 at the home of
Mrs. Marvin Loomis.

planning the Fair booth. Our
next meeting will be August 18
