FOUR ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON, WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 16, 1944 Society and Club A By JO CARPENTER Is Your Blood Here? MORE WAVES NEEDED THIS YEAR To reach the national goal of 97,000 Waves, the U. S. navy needs approximately 28,000 more Waves before the end of the year, according to Chief W. E. Bell of the Koseburg navy re cruiting station, which handles Waves applications In this area. More than 73,000 Waves are now on active duty in the conti nental limits of the United States, having replaced that many or more trained navy men for ser vice on lighting ships or at ad vanced bases. Success of the Waves program has brought high praise lrom the country's naval leaders, because these alert young women are handling hundreds of jobs in the vast naval organization formerly the exclusive work of men. Oregon has contributed sub stantial numbers of Waves to the national totals so that there are lew big naval activities in the nation where Oregon girls are not on duty. Oregon has been among the leaders both in numbers ol Waves volunteering from this area and In the number of Waves who have received higher ratings because of greater ability, skill or efficiency. Young women between the ages of 20 and 36 who are Inter ested in learning how they too can get In woman's reserve of the navy. The Waves, are urged to see Chief Hell at the navy re cruiting station in the chamber ot commerce oiticc on f riaay or Saturday, August 18th and 19th.

Heat waves shimmer faintly On near horizon marked by hedge, While o'er our heads, in azure blue, Planes dron by in a shifting wedge. Scarce more than a fortnight past Our men landed on the invasion shores; And marked with sweat and blood Pushed thru lain and mud to die by scores. Men from nil walks of life The tough; would-be-tough and gentlemen, In a few sho-t minutes under fire riatcd,- feared, prayed and hated again. On the lonely nights we lay In stark, cold, naked fear, While o'er our heads bullets whizzed LAnd shells were bursting near. un, tne numoorless days When the rain's ceaseless down pour Filled our foxholes with water and mud And gave us an undying hate for war. And now In the lull of rest, While both sides assemble anew, And shift their forces here and there Taking count. of equipment, weap ons and crew, I wonder at the peace and quet And feeling of false security we know. And I wonder If the world will ever return To the real peace of a few short summers ago. So as I sit ! l the shade, With pencil In hand and pad on my knee, I bow my head In humbleness And ask God to listen to me. And I pray for those who have died. And those lo die before the peace; I ask Him !or a hasty end to war. And from ty.anny all nations' re lease. SSgt. Louis F. Brady, Glendalo, Ore. I ' " ... . , .. .

Adults: 50c School age children 10c Four door prizes given free Questions on Home Canning Receive O.iC. Answers Home canners direct many questions these days to home economists of the O. S. C. exten sion service, is they do to others trained in this field. Here are some of the current questions and answers oeiieveu to have rather wide application: y. sometimes I have small amounts of -fruits. Is there any reason why I shouldn't can Jars of two kinds at once if both take the same amount of orocesslnr? A. No reason why not, as far as processing goes, provided you are spry enough to. have them ooin ready at once, so as to fill jars of each, and load the canner qutcKiy. Q. How can I figure in advance now mucn n iuid to allow for can ning fruit? A. Amounts needed are bound to vary because some fruits yield so much more juice when heated than other fruit. Also, some frtlit settles more compact ly imo jars, ror a good propor tion of liquid to solid food allow on the average three-fourts to one cup of Jules or syrup for each quart Jar. Q. What will keep home-can- neu lomato juice lrom separat ing? A. Some settling of solid particles is to be expected, 'and juice is easily shaken up to blend at time of serving. However, if good canning directions are fol lowed closely, there should be less separation. Soft but sound tomu toes make good juice, But over ripe ones tend to separate. Too much or too little heat also will cause solid particles to settle Juice strained through a fine sieve will have less solid matter, but you lose some food value. Q. If jars of food fail to seal airtight, what should I do? A. You have I'.vo choices: Use the food promptly, or can it over from the sti.t. If you reprocess, take food out of -the jars and re heat It; then pack Into clean, hot jars; adjust jar tops and process for the lengili of time that kind of food requires. If a jar or top was at fault, be sure to use a per fect one. Q. Why is it so important to drive the air out of a stream pressure canner? A. If air mixes with steam in the canner, temper- iuure win De lower man indicated by the pressure, hence food may iiui gci nem.'ci as mucn as needed to destroy spoilage bacteria.
