Vermeer, the Takacs, Miss DeLay was titled superintendent, and Miss DeLay grew up there. Her musical talents surfaced early. She began studying the violin at age 4 and did a recital at her church at age 5. She was so advanced that she graduated from Neode- sha High School at age 16 and enrolled at the Oberlin Conservatory in Ohio. Miss DeLay later transferred to Michigan State. Dorothy DeLay was an outstanding vio- linist. After her grad- uation in 1937, she moved to New York to continue her violin studies at Juilliard. She also formed a musi- cal group called the Stuyvestant Trio. This consisted of a pianist, Dorothy on the violin, and her sister Nellis on the cello. Dorothy toured Latin America as a member of Leopold Stokowski’s All-American Youth Orchestra. After that tour, on the cross-coun- try train trip back home, she met a young writer named Edward Newhouse. Apparently it was true love. Four months later they were married. The marriage lasted 61 years until her death in 2002, but she was always known professionally as Miss DeLay. As do many students, Miss DeLay pieced together a handful of invitations for part- time teaching and as- sistantship positions to support herself during school. She taught part-time at the Hen- ry Street Settlement, the Juilliard School and Sarah Lawrence College.

It can also be used for general cooking such as making soup or stew.” Blakeslee has some other timely tips leading up to canning season: Use a canner that is recommended for the type of food you want to can. “If you’re canning plain vegetables, like green beans, you have to use a pressure canner because green beans are low acid foods,” she said. “Plain vegeta- bles like green beans, carrots, corn, even meat…those types of foods must be pressure canned.” She added that you can use a water bath canner for such foods as fruits, jams, jellies and pickles. “A pressure canner can be used like a water bath canner. Just leave the weight off so pres- sure is not applied,” Blakeslee said. Have your dial gauge tested. Most K-State Research and Extension offices in Kansas can do this for free. Blakeslee said local extension agents can test Presto, National, Magic Seal and Maid of Honor dial gauge pressure canners. “Check dial gauges every year so you know how accurate the gauge is reading,” she said. Check your canning supplies. The food safety specialist says you should check to make sure jars are not scratched or chipped and that the rims of jars are not damaged.
