Mr. and Mrs. Robert Possession will be given Sept. 1 The sale was made through Montgomery and Company Homemakers who are safety minded have given up the hazardous practice of canning in the oven. Reminding housewives that Monday has been designated as home safety day during National Farm Week, Ina Rowe, extension nutritionist at the University of Minnesota, points out that eliminating canning In the oven is one way to reduce the number of hazards in the home.

Many accidents from oven canning have resulted in wrecked ranges, cuts, burns and scalds inflicted by flying glass or steam on the loose or even death from asphyxiation when a gas pilot flame has been blown out by the explosive force. While oven canning always presents the hazard of underprocessing the food, this danger is far less Impressive than the long list of mechanical dangers which follow In the wake of an exploding jar, according to Miss Rowe. Women who are timid about using a pressure cooker are often the ones who complacently fasten the lid tightly on a Jar and consign It to the oven. They do not seem to realize that, since the jar cannot breathe, as steam develops it will build up a pressure, Miss Rowe says. Pressure built up In a fruit jar Is not under control.

Dont give your jars a chance to explode in the oven, Miss Rowe warns. Put them in the pressure cooker or waterbath, they are DOUDS (AP) In a cut stone operation described as the only one of Its kind In Iowa, a 20-foot ridge of solid limestone la being sliced like a loaf of bread in an underground quarry here. Purpose of the slicing operation is to produce ornamental cut stone which will go into a wall simply as bricks Cutting Process. The cutting process Is possible as a result of machines developed by Van Byers, 48, operator of a Douds welding shop. Byers has built three machines one of them on an 18-foot-high framework with a 15 horsepower electric motor to drive a three-strand, quarter-inch steel cable.

The cable, on which water and sand are poured to speed the cutting, moves vertically through ridge of rock. Limestone in the Douds quariy is so hard that the cutting rate is only three inches an hour, regardless of the length of cut. Softer limestone in other quarries can be cut as fast as 8 inches an hour. The stone-cutting produces In southeast Iowa a product which previously has been shipped In from othfr states. About 100 tons of stone have been cut since Byers big machines were taken underground in April.

As the project grows the volume will expand. The cut stone operation actually is only a minor part of the present operation of the quarry which it known as Douds Stone, Inc. Its principal job is producing 450 to 500 tons of crushed rock daily for such purposes as roads, concrete mix, and agricultural dust. The machines developed by Bvers however, are daily taking their 20-foot bites out of the limestone. Natural seams in the rock provide horizontal break-off points.

Finished by Hand. Slabs are removed through use of hydraulic jackg and a tractor. The slabs then are laid flat on the quarry floor, cross-cut with a diamond-toothed pavement cutting saw, and finished by hand with a cold chisel. Finished blocks are hauled out by truck. Due to Byers arrangement of the cables.

It is possible to produce the finished block in three thicknesses. And Byers is now starting on plana for nck-euttlng sawmill which will rip op the limestone slabs like an ordinary sawmill cuts boards, although much more slowly. The quarry-where it 59 de-crees cool on the hottest of oay is owned by a firm headed by H. E. Millen of Farmington.

It is recommended that the city officials seek or require the cooperation of local industry in dumping excessive amounts of paper and other rubbish and debris at this area. If this is eliminated the less volume will afford easier control of covering and compacting.
