SHOPPER'S ! I ) CORNER By J DOROTHY BARCLAY I i HOME FRONT LINE ttOMEMAKERS, line up for you: AA summer campaign! Preserve the home front by preserving food by canning, freezing or drying, anything you can lay your hands on! For the national drive for food preservation is being stepped up! Food fruits and vegetables particularly are plentiful now and throughout the summer. Youre either growing your own, or choosing from the generous stock at your grocers and its up to you to make it last, by putting up for the hungry winter months.
