FOOD There are two basic troubles with the world food supply: (1) Some parts of the world have plenty of food and others don't have enough, and (2) food has a pesky habit of ripening only at certain times the year but your -appetite is on a 365-days-in-the-year basis.

Van Nuys is one of those very fortunate communities where there is plenty of food. Big orchards were whacked up into subdivisions and lots of people found themselves with trees in their yards. Then Van Nuys people are food-minded and went in for gardening in a big way so the major Van Nuys problem is to get the food distributed over the whole year eyen though it is available only at certain times. PRESERVATION It seems a county beach authority, is scheduled to be taken tomorrow by the Board of Supervisors. The move will come in the form of a resolution presented by Supervisor Leonard J.

Roach, seconded by Supervisor Raymond V. Darby, calling upon the Legislature to create the authority with its membership to be appointed by the Board of Supervisors. Approach to the financing of a program to meet the county's beach problem, wnich has to be developed to meet a need of a yearly attendance of 60,000,000 or more people within a few years, has been under study by county officials since the defeat on Aug. 6 of the $8,200,000 bond JMY CT- I i I s.

Some of the Guests 423 were in trans-Pacific ship tne inroes or victory gardening the government had a rush of brains to the head and gave the State of California $60,000 and the State set up 60 community canneries. One of them was at Van Nuys. There the Board of Education added $1700 for extra equipment. Vocational Agriculture Instructor. Ben Ward took charge and "the ladies of the community were notified of the opportunity to come in," learn how to can their own fruit and and then do it.

The old Mason jar Bystem, according to the best precannery check, turned out a maximum of 2400 Mason jars annually. 'i OPERATION The Van Nuys High School cannery has, since 1944, operated from May to October each year. The first year they turned out a total of 40,000 cans. Last season the total was 100,000 cans and they'll top that this year. Of course there is not only supervision of the whole operation by competent persons but also the usual State inspection.

A housewife wanting to put up some fruit or vegetables goes to the high school and arranges the four-hour instruction course, after which she is ready to go to work on hfer own stuff. PRO CE She arranges to take in her fruit on a certain day and at a certain hour, which is assigned her after she estimates the size of her pack. She arrives (on schedule or else) and is given a certain number of tin cans and on them she paints an identifying number. Then she prepares her fruit by peeling it, and fills the cans. The filled cans are then preheated in a bath of steaming water, sealed by a mechanical device, loaded into a huge container, placed in a gigantic cooking retort which finishes the job and, when the cooking process is completed, she identifies her own cans by the number she painted on takes them home, and she's fixed for the rest of the year.

LABOR It is quite a sight to see the place in operation. Everybody is busy. On one day there was quite a bonanza. A fellow from up country with a truck load of fresh-picked peaches drove up. His load had been ordered at $1.50 a lug and the buyer had reneged.

"I haven't time to go around and p-Kidle 'em," he said, "you can have 'em for $1 a lug." Immediately the ladies pounced on them and added his fruit to their own stuff. Ladies of all shapes and size3 and all conditions of life make use of the cannery. The cost i3 the same for all 8 cents per can, plus your own time and effort. Lots of them bring members of their family to assist The government has now relinquished control and the school is running the whole operation. Asparagus, berries, cherries, apricots, string beans, plums and, in off seasons, chicken, rabbit, turkey and other home-grown meats are canned.
