YEAR'S WORK OF
FIREMEN'S UNION
Accomplishments of West
Shore Body Shown in
Committee Report
New Cumberland, Pa., July 10. —
Extension of the transfer limit
from West Fairvlew square to Enola,
making a universal system of trans
fers over all five-cent lines of the
Valley Railways Company, was a new
step of the West Shore Firemen's
Union in monthly session here last
night. A committee was appointed
to meet with officials of tho Valley
Railways Company and report at the
next meeting. If the company does
not grant the request the union In
tends to go before the Public Serv
ice Commission to get the transfer
limit extended. The Union last year
was successful in securing transfers
for all towns except Enola through
the Public Service Commission. On
the committee are: J. H. Germeyer,
Camp Hill; L. L. Hammacker, Le
moyne, and William Reed, New Cum
berland.
The Union appointed a committee
to formulate plans to take caro of
families of the Union members who
are called to the colors. After a long
discussion the Union decided that
some means should be devised to
take care of the families and the
committee was appointed to work
out this plan and report at the next
meeting. On the committee are: L.
L. Hammacker. Lemoyne; J. G.
Sheaffer, Wormleysburg; Dr. Sig
mund. Camp Hill; W. H. Wilson,
New Cumberland; H. H. Way, Enola,
and J. Libhart, Midway.
A report of the poor condition of
the road in West Fairview between
the Northern Central railroad bridge
and the northwestern boundary of
the borough of West Fairview, was
made to the Union. The secretary
was authorized to bring the condition
of this street to the attention of the
West Fairview Council and the State
Highway Department.
George Wilson, of New Cumber
land, a delegate from the local fire
company, to the Cumberland Valley
Firemen's Association convention at
Hagerstown, reported op the session
and advised all fire companies to
appoint delegates to this association
for the next convention.
A summary of the accomplish
ments of the West Shore since its
organization, a little more than a
year, compiled by a special commit
tee, was accepted by the Union last
night. The committee is composed
of E. R. Hammacker, Ira Shaull, J.
G. Shaeffer and J. S. Cummings.
Among the many accomplishments
of the Union since its organization
are: First, at a meeting April 10,
the Union was notified that the Riv
erton Consolidated Water Company
would fix the rate for plug service
at S2O per year and install plugs
without cost. Hferetofor.e the bor
oughs were compelled to pay the
cost of installation.
Second. Through the efforts of the
Union borough councils and town
ships have improved the roads all
over the West Shore.
Third. The Valley Railways Com
pany followed out the Union's re
quest to make several stops in Enola
for the safety of passengers.!
Fourth. Securing transfers for the
entire West Shore not including
Enola, after a long contested fight
through the Public Service Commis
sion was probably the most remark
able accomplishment of the Union
as this company had not granted
transfers for years.
Fifth. The Union recommended
uniform traffic regulations for all
West Shore towns which the council
adopted immediately.
Sixth. The Union took an active
part in the Central High school for
the West Shore and was successful
in securing a large vote in favor of
the move in several of the boroughs.
Seventh. The Valley Railways
Company changed the plans of dis
charging passengers at the west end
of the bridge. Instead of leaving the
passengers alight between the car
tracks ,the company at the request
of the Union now discharges pas
sengers at the opposite side of the
cars.
The Union is now working on a
plan submitted by the Bell Telephone
Company for a uniform telephone
system for summoning companies
from all West Shore towns in the
case of fire. The committee appoint
ed in this work at the meeting last
night reported progress.

Jars and
Evaporators
With a nation-wide interest in
the preservation of food, and ab
normal labor conditions, the
home-canning . specialists urge
every housekeeper to save
bottles, especially wide-necked
ones, for putting up fruits, pre
serves, jellies, jams and fruit
juices. The saving of bottles is
highly important, as there
threatens to be a serious shortage
of regular jars and preserving
cans.
A-great many of the carriers in
which package goods have been
distributed can be used for this
purpose, and the contents will be
safe if the corks or paper tops are
supplemented by the use of
paraffine.
If containers are scarce locally,
those in stock should be used to
preserve perishable products
which have the highest nutritive
value. Nothing should be packed
in jars or cans which can be con
served effectively in other ways.
Much of the food which is
usuallt put up in cans or jars
could Tie dried in an evaporator,
with a decided saving in time,
strength and fuel. When fruit is
dried there is also tTie saving of
sugar, which even under normal
conditions costs more during the
canning and preserving season
than at other times.

Economic Use of Food Now Being Demonstrated in
Oar Basement By Miss Mary Kathryn Brooke,
An Expert in Domestic Science From the
Drexel Institute
Economic use of food and demonstrations of drying and canning methods
for vegetables and fruits will be a feature of the talks.
In connection with this demonstration the many uses of the
"Granger" Fruit and Vegetable '
will be discussed —the uses to which this evap- •
orator may be put are almost beyond compre-
The "Granger" dries in from two to three >JTI|
hours: Apples, apricots, figs, peaches, pears,
plums, cherries, quinces, strawberries, grapes, o; ** l f
tomatoes, corn, peas, sweet potatoes and beans. - JljajSl |
It will also dry quickly all herbs and better still, I
preserve all their essential properties. ' ; *
Fpr canning and drying fruits and vegetables the "Granger" has ho equal
—and in the making'of syrups and jellies the same can be said. There is no
possible chance for the juices to burn, thus enabling the housewife to make up
a product of unequalled transparency and quality.
The "Granger " Will Pay Any Housekeeper For Itself in Two Days
during the fruit and vegetable season. It's the only inexpensive and practical
evaporator suitable for domestic use. Bought by the government, agricul
tural institutions, bakeries and housewives. ,

Perry County Farmers
Co-operate in Harvesting
Marysvllle, Pa., July 10. —On Perry
county farms these days 'onger hours
than usual during the harvesting sea
son are all the rage. On other farms
where more help Is needed at one time
than is available from that particular
farm, the farmer "cluhs" with another
tiller of the soil, and they harvest
their acres in turns. In still others
the women may be seen helping the
men to perform field work. And all
this is due to the scarcity of the labor
supply In the rural communities.
With high wages prevailing every
where and drawing many country folk'
from their ordinary sources of reve
nue. day laborers in the country are
asking $2 and $2.50 and board per
day.
