Kansas Officials Protest Ruling Of Canned Goods

State May Halt Food Cannery Drive Over OPA Rule
Discussion centers on Kincaid urging state institutions to increase canning of vegetables, with 6,000 quarts already canned and expectations of 30,000 to 40,000 gallons. The CPA ruling may force a pause, as officials question why ration rules apply to states but not to housewives. A final note recalls Mary Ann Gender Hite’s death at 101, widow of Isaac M. Hite. Cherokee Tennessee’s naming roots are also mentioned.
