Indiana crop reporters are predicting the biggest crop of peaches since 1931. By even the most conservative estimates, they say, there will be plenty of peaches for all uses this summer. “Peaches come in white and yellow —with cling and free stones,” points out Lois Oberhelman, extension nutritionist specialist of Purdue University. “Usually it's personal preference and the way you intend to use the peaches that decides the kind to buy. “There’s little difference in food value among peaches except in vitamin A value. But yellow-fleshed peaches outrank the white varities on this score. The yellow-fleshed peaches are rated as a good source of vitamin A. According to home economists in the Department of Agriculture a mediumsized dish of yellow peaches will supply about one-third of the vitamin A an adult needs for a day. This vitamin, of course, is needed by both grown ups and children for good nutrition.

Jerry Lee, three-month old son of Mr. and Mrs. Linus Wahl of Jasper and formerly of here, died about 7 a. m. Wednesday morning following a brief illness.

He is survived by the parents and a brother, Donald Raymond, age 20 months.

“Except for the very early ones, clingstone peaches usualy are not eaten fresh. They are, however, especially suitable for cooking, for pickling, and for commercial canning. “Most home canners prefer midseason or late yellow-fleshed peaches. Some of the well-known Indiana varieties of this class are South Haven, Hale Haven, and Hale. For those who prefer to can white-fleshed peaches, Belle and Champion are two Indiana varieties that fill the bill. “Indiana, varieties suitable for canning will be on the market during this month with best or heaviest supply during the latter half of the month. “Peaches are one of the easiest fruits of all to can at home,” says Miss Oberhelman. And complete directions for canning them, with exact processing time may be found in “Home Canning of Fruits and Vegetables”, an Extension Bulletin No. 164. Copies may be obtained free from Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind., or from any county Extension Agent’s office.

THE NAVY DENTAL OFFICER pictured above is working on the teeth of an enlisted man in the ship’s dental office aboard the U.S.S. Salt Lake City, 10,000-ton cruiser. Included among the fifty-odd trade and vocational training courses open to Navy recruits who pass the required examination is dental technician schooling. This course, like all Navy trade and vocational courses, is free and provides an excellent groundwork for a future career in later civilian life. All recruits receive their regular Navy pay during the period they are at a Navy trade school. This training is valued at $1500.

The minimum age limit for enlistment in the U. S. Navy is 17. All applicants under 21 years will be required to have the consent of their parents or guardian.
