'Rainbow Island'
Coming With Eddie
Bracken, Lamour
The public still dictates to Hol
lywood, apparently, for Dorothy
Lamour is back in the South Seas
in her newest sarong in Para
mount's newest musical, "Rain
bow Island," which critics hail
as the most lush and lovely of
any of thesarongstress' tropical
escapades.
Opening Thursday at the Lib
erty theater, "Rainbow Island,"
is a palmy, balmy chunk of en
tertainment filled with color,
music and-, beautiful sarongals.
Costarririg with Miss Lamour
are Eddie Bracken and Gil Lamb,
who, as ship-wrecked merchant
seamen in the south Pacific come
upon this island paradise with
another member of their torpe
doed ship, Barry Sullivan.

Pattern
Use of Vitamin C
To Hold Color Of
Canned Peaches
Keeping peaches from darken
ing in canning or freezing has al
ways been a problem states Miss
Doris McWhorter, home demon
stration agent for Union county.
To hold the color and flavor in
either home canned or frozen
peaches, Miss McWhorter sugests
the u s e of vitamin C (ascorbic
acid) as an anti-darkening agent.
Experiments have shown that air
causes the darkening of peaches.
Vitamin C acts against oxygen to
prevent the change in color and
flavor of the fruit at the top of
the jar where it is most exposed
to air.
Vitamin C is easily obtained at
the drugstore. The tablet form is
suggested in canning: lKi tablets
of 100 mg., 2V4 tablets of 50 mg.,
or 5 tablets of 25 mg. potency for
each pint jar of peaches. The
powder form is easily used in
freezing.
In freezing, if a less expensive
treatment is preferred, the peeled
or sliced peaches may be dipped
in a citric acid solution for one
minute using Vt teaspoon of citric
acid crystals for each quart of
water. The peaches are then
drained and packed in a contain
er with chilled syrup for freezing.
The darkening of peaches does
not necessarily indicate spoilage
although often the darkening
causes the development of unde
sirable and off flavors, adds Miss
McWhorter.
