PINKHflM’S S & g ^ Get Into Action For Full Victoryl Cunned F r u it I f you want to assure your family of its basic seven fru it requirement, then busy yourself with putting up fru it at home. Fruits, commercially canned, have carried a high point value and this has made their serving in many families prohibi tive. But lucky indeed are those homes in which there are ample stocks of home- canned fruits, is infinitely more Fruit simple than vegetable canning. The reason for that is that fruits are acid and, therefore, can be sterilized more readily. A hot water bath is ideal for proc essing the fru it once it is in the jar. If you cannot obtain one, use a regu lar wash boiler, fitted with a rack to keep the jars a half inch from the bottom. A cover that fits tightly over the canner helps keep the steam in and does not waste fuel. Steps in Canning. 1. Select fru it in the peak of con dition. Your can w ill yield only what you put into it. 2. Wash fru it or berries carefully, pare and pit according to directions for fru it in the fru it canning chart given in this column. 3. Fruit is pre-cooked for several minutes in certain cases to shrink it, and to give you a better looking pack with as little floating as possi ble. 4. Use a light or medium type of syrup in which to pre-cook the fruit or cook in its own juice. Lynn Says Canning ’Rithmetic: If the jars and fru it don't come out even when you’re canning, better sit down and do some figuring before you start to can. Here are tips to help you: Apples—1 bu. (50 lb.) cans 17-20 quarts. Apricots—4 basket crate (1 bu.) cans 20-25 quarts. Berries—24 quart crate cans 15- 24 quarts. Cherries—I bu. (56 lb.) cans 20- 25 quarts. Grapes—1 bu. (48 lb.) cans 16- 20 quarts. Peaches—1 bu. (50 lb.) cans 18- 20 quarts. Pears—1 bu. (58 lb.) cans 20-24 quarts. Pineapples—15 pineapples yield 30 pints. Plums—1 bu. (56 lb.) cans 24-30 quarts. Tomatoes—1 bu. (56 lb.) cans 15-20 quarts. Address____________________________ Lynn Chambers’ Point-Saving Menus Frankfurters with Hot Potato Salad Relish j.

Most juice or syrup is added to with in one-half inch of the top of the ja r. 6. Adjust the cap according to the instructions furnished by the manu facturer. He knows th% type of seal ing it will need. 7. Process fruit either in the water bath or the pressure cooker accord ing to the time indicated on the can ning chart. For a boiling water bath, see that the water boils during the entire processing period. 8. As soon as the jars finish proc essing, remove them from the can ner, set on several thicknesses of paper or cloth and allow to cool. All jars should not be inverted, so watch the manufacturers’ instruc tions on this point. Oven Canning. This year, I ’m not recommending oven canning of fruits because war time restrictions in equipment have caused many changes to be made in jars and caps, and this method is not safe. Many women had acci dents last year and much fru it was spoiled. Play safe, and use the wa ter bath. Sugar Syrups. As long as sugar is still rationed, you’ll want to use it sparingly so there’s enough for peaches as well as for plums and grape jelly in the fall. Wise homemak ers are using the thin or medium syrups, as these w ill mellow and ripen the fruit but still not consume too much of the precious sugar sup ply. Thin Sugar Syrup, 1 cup sugar 3)4 cups water Bring to a boil, stirring only until sugar is dissolved. Keep hot but not boiling. Medium Sugar Syrup. 2 cups sugar 4 cups water. Follow directions above. / / you wish additional instruction for canning fruit or berries, write to M itt l.ynn Chambers, 210 South Desplaines Street, Chicago 6, Illinois.

They w ill be mem bers of the Watussi, tallest tribe in the world, whose average height is about 6 feet, 6 inches. Their tribal dances are exciting and strenuous, and give them wonderful, springy thigh muscles, which enable them to leap prodi gious heights. Some of their best performers can fly over a bar eight feet from the ground, and on one cere monial occasion a w’hole platoon of them jumped seven feet, or two inches higher than the present world’s record.
