Ex-Officio Staff THE FREDERICK COUNTY COMMUNITY CANNERY In February 1944 a group of civic-minded citizens petitioned the Fred- erick County Board of Supervisors to aid them financially in the construc- tion of a cannery-cafeteria building. Although turned down by the Board, the group did not give up, but held a mass meeting to secure pledges of iinan- cial aid from the citizens of the county and organized a building committee. Through the combined efforts of the people of Frederick County it was pos- sible to begin construction upon the cannery, which, since its completion, has saved the homemakers of the county time, labor and personal health, and enabled them to supply their families with better canned foods. Thousands of cans of fruits and vegetables are preserved in season each year at the can- nery. Although the building was financed by the citizens of Frederick Coun- ty, the modern equipment was donated by the Federal Government. The cannery operates under the supervision of Mr. James C. Gordon, assisted by Miss Mary Rudasill, Mrs. Bertha Stickley occupies the position as instructor and Mr. Sam Cook acts as engineer.
