•Canning Made Easy
•For Local People
L Arrangements have been com-
Lpleted that will make canning easy
Lfor citizens of College Station and
• adjacent communities who may
know use the modern facilities of
Lthe Horticultural Products Labora-
Ltory at A. & M. College. Through
an agreement between Dean E. J.
Kyle and the State Board for Voc-
Lational Eductation, this laborato
ry has been set up on the same
I basis other community canning cen-
rters throughout Texas operated
Lu n der last season.
I Through the new arrangement,
Lvictory garden products may be
I brought to the College canning
center and under the supervision
I and instruction of Professor Fred
I R. Prison, Horticulture Depart-
Lment, gardeners may process and
Lean their food products using mo-
Ldern equipment such as electric
sealers, pea shellers, a pea clean-
Ler, a corn cutter, a corn silker, re-
I torts, steam kettles, and other
Llabor saving and safety devices.
I The purpose of the canning cen-
Lter is no only to provide canning
equipment for those who have none,
I but to provide instruction. In or
der to be in line with the methods
used in the other canning centers
financed through the State Board
for Vocational Education, each pa-
L tron will do his own work.
I There, will be no charge for the
.use of the facilities, but labor as-
jsistance such as provided last
Lyear will not be available this
season.
| Professor Brison said that can-
‘ ning is as important this year as
last. “Although canned fruits and
vegetables seem plentiful at the
present time, there is no assurance
that they will be available during
the coming year,” he said. Canned
food has been released from the
rationed foods in order to move
old stock, and in anticipation of a
large number of victory gardens,
which according to some authori
ties is not materializing,” he added.
For those planning to use the
cannery, the following informa
tion will be useful:
1. Cannery will be operated on
Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday
of each week, opening at 8 A. M.,
and closing at 4 P. M.
2. Cannery is located on ground
floor of Agricultural Engineering
Building on the west side.
3. Appointments for using the
caanning equipment should be
made through the Horticultural
office. Call 4-7614.
4. Cans will be available at the
cannery.
5. Green beans should be can
ned as soon as possible after pick
ing. It is suggested that they be
washed and snapped before they
are brought to the cannery.
6. Tomatoes are processed in
two popular ways; as canned to
matoes, and as juice. In either case,
sound, vine-ripened, fully matur
ed fruit should be used. The can
nery is equipped with facilities
for scalding preparatory to can
ning, and for extracting juice.
7. Corn should be canned as
soon as possible after harvest.
Sweet corn, particularly, deterio
rates iat a rapid rate after it is
pulled from the stalk. It is desir
able that the corn be gathered in
the early morning. It should then
be husked and brought diretly to
the center. A corn cutter is avail
able for cutting the corn from
the cob.
8. Green peas likewise should
be canned as soon as possible af
ter harvesting. The task of shel
ling is made remarkable easy by
using an approved type of pea
sheller which will shell a bushel
of peas in only a few minutes.

made valid for a stated period of
not longer than six months. The
student is under the necessity of
applying for a new certificate,
prior to the date of its expiration.
Although this procedure has
been in effect since September 16,
1940 when the Selective Service
Act was made effective, the De
partment of State has been re
quested with increasing frequency
to secure exemption for foreign
students who have either failed to
apply for Alien’s Certificate of
Non-Residence or to keep them
valid. Agreement has now been
reached between this Department
and National Hadquarters of the
Selective Service System, whereby
any non-declarant alien student
who fails to apply for an Alien’s
Certificate of Non-Residence with
in the ninety day period following
his admission to this country, or
within the ninety days after he
has reached the age of eighteen
or who through his own fault fails
to keep such certificate currently
valid will be considered to have
forfeited his right to exempt
status as a bona fide, full-time,
alien student and non-resident.
National Headquarters of the Se
lective Service System will not
consider such cases on appeal aft
er May 31, 1944.
In view of this decision, it is be
lieved that the Chiefs of Mission
will desire to notify students in
this country that they should call
on their local Selective Service
boards immediately, in order to
make certain that their Alien’s
Certificate of Non - Residence
(Form 303) is in order.
The National Headquarters of
the Selective System and the De
partment of State have agreed on
the following rules applicable to
alien studnts:
1. Bona Fide Students. A bona
fide student is one who entered
the United States for the sole pur
pose of study and has followed
the regular full-time course of in
struction required for graduation
at a recognized institution of learn
ing since his admission to this
country, or a student who is study
ing in a government department
or agency . (State or Federal) or
in a private institution, under the
auspices of training programs fi
nanced by the United States gov
ernment, or a student who, having
proceeded to the United States at
the expense of his government for
specialized training, entered the
United States under Section 3 (1)
of the Immigration Act of 1924
and has at all times since entering
the United States been undergoing
that training at his government’s
expense and without personal re
muneration from any other source
for this training.
2. Vacation Period. Alien, bona
fide, full-time student eligible to
exemption, and holder of valid
Certificates of Non-Residence, will
be permitted to enjoy those periods
of vacation usual to the course
they are following at the institu
tions in which they are enrolled,
without this ^calling into question
the bona fide of their student
status.
3. Scholastic Standing. An alien,
who has failed to maintain a satis
factory scholastic record as deter
mined by Selective Service and who
has fulfilled the other require
ments of a bona fide student will |
be granted forty-five days in which
to leave the United States, after
which time he' will, if he remains,
be considered to be a male person
residing in the United States with
in the meaning of the Selective
Service law.
4. Part Time Employment. Alien
students will be permitted to ob
tain employment in order to sup
plement income, provided such
employment in no way interferes
with their bona fide as students
set forth under (1), (2) and (3)
above.
5. Transfer of Students. It is
understood that a bona fide stu
dent may transfer from one insti
tution to another with the usual
intermittent periods of vacation,
provided that such transfer is in
the normal course of his educa
tion and he continues at the insti
tution to which he is transferred
in his full-time bona fide status.
Furthermore, any student in
tending to proceed to the United
States for study will at the time
of receiving his visa at his point of j
origin be handed a written state- i
ment in his own language, setting !
forth his obligations under Selec
tive Service procedure once he
reaches this country. The student
will be required to affirm that he
has been acquainted with those ob
ligations. Thus he will not be per-
