It’s probably because the image they bring to mind is that of a juicy, sweet, refreshing treat. And that’s exactly what they are. Fabled in poetry and art, the peach is apparently a native of china where it has been grown for about 3,000 years. Spaniards brought the delicate fruit to the New World and each group of settlers expanded the peach growing territory, the French bringing peaches to Louisiana, the English to Jamestown and Massachusetts Today, peaches grow in most American states where they have been favorites for more than a century.

those watching their waistlines. Peaches can be easily preserved for future use. To can. wash and remove skins. Dipping them in boiling water, then quickly in cold water makes peeling easier. Cut in halves; remove pits, slice if desired. To prevent fruit from darkening during preparation, drop into water containing 2 Tablespoons each of salt and vinegar per gallon of water Drain just before heating or packing raw. If raw packing, pack fruit to one-half inch of jar top. Cover with boiling syrup leaving one-half inch headspace. Adjust jar lids. Process in boiling-water bath 25 minutes for quarts and 20 minutes for pints. Frozen peaches in halves and slices have better quality when placed in syrup or with sugar, but a water pack will serve if sweetening is not desired To prepare for freezing, sort. wash, pit and peel Fora better product, peel peaches without a boilingwater dip When syrup packing, add one-half teaspoon ascrobic acid for each quart of syrup Put peaches directly into cold syrup in container — starting with onehalf cup syrup to a pint container Press fruit down and add syrup to cover, leaving headspace.

Eula Coy and Delores Vanator. Euchre was played. Thelma Berger placed high and Mrs. Engle and Mrs Coy tied for low. Thelma McCorkle received the door prize Hilltoppers Club meets in home of Mrs. Leckrone Gertrude Leckrone was hostess for the August 12 meeting of Monroe Hilltoppers. She was assisted by Bertha Haywood Devotions were given byThelma Beery. Group singing was led by Mrs. Haywood. Roll call response was “A summertime meat my family enjoys " The lesson. "Living On A Fixed Income" was presented by Anna Mae Smith, Mrs. Beery explained ways to prevent heat stroke. Members were reminded that Homemakers Camp is scheduled for Sept A white elephant auction was enjoyed Mrs. Leckrone served as auctioneer. Jessica Ellenwood was a guest. Mrs Beery will be hostess for the Sept meeting Sling shots, BB guns dangerous Parents, please think carefully before letting youngsters play with sling shots. BB guns, hunting knives, etc. Children think of those things as toys, not realizing they are dangerous and at one time were

actually weapons of war and used for survival. Last week two little boys brought a tiny, injured goldfinch to the office of a local veterinarian. The bird’s wing had been shattered with a rock from a sling shot. A member of the humane Society took the bird home where a splint and bandages were applied to its wing. It was then given vitamins and antibiotics to help heal an open, bleeding wound at the second joint of the crushed wing. The little bird died 36 hours later. A goldfinch is some times mistaken for a wild canary because of its small size and beautiful golden feathers. They are no longer plentiful in Indiana. What a shame that one more of the lovely little creatures had to suffer and die so needlessly.
