Food Problems Are 'I Discussed At Meet 'I Place Emphasis On Canning Tomatoes Several community leaders of ■ Adams county, representing home economics clubs, social and educ-a- --' tlonal department of the- farm bureau. church groups, office of civilian defense-, lodges, sororities, and other civic organizations, met with Anna K. Williams, emergency war food assistant, yesterday afternoon at the Decatur junior-senior high i school to discuss food problems and plan for their best solution. jaemSers of the group placed em phaais on more canning of tomatoes. Dry weather has greatly limited canning vegetables but plenty of tomatoes will he available. Also, canning of corn and chi< k en were considered Important at this time as well as preparing for winter storage of such green vegetables as possible, particularly cabbage. As soon as the program of preservation of our foods Is completed for the fall It was thought that the major jMsrt of the program should be centered around nutrition, balancing the day's meat being the chief consideration. To put this program into effect, representatives who attended are arranging meetings where Miss Williams will demonstrate canning of tomatoes, corn, and t hicken and. with L E. Archbold, county agent, the installation of a tile storage pit for preservation of fresh vegetables. Demohstration* and displays of the many different and interest Ing ways canned tomatoes can be used will continue to place stress <>n their place In the diet throughout the fall and winter. It Is hoped that many groups will ' avail themselves of the opportunity i to have Miss Williams help them I with food problems. along the front Churchill, describing th?- attacking Allied armies as the bestequipped fighting force in military . history, said they were inflicting twice as many casualties on the Germans as they th«maelv>-s were suffering and that th< Ir advance was "at last" winning sufficient room for full deployment of their strength.
